He was prepared for the fierce resistance of the Russian people defending their homeland. He was prepared for the long march across Russian soil to Moscow, the capital city. But he was not prepared for the devastating enemy that met him in Moscow - the raw, bitter, bleak Russian winter.In 1941, Adolf Hitler, leader of Nazi Germany, launched an attack against the Soviet Union, as Russia then was called. Hitlers military might was unequaled. His war machine had mowed down resistance in most of Europe. Hitler expected a short campaign but, like Napoleon before him, was taught a painful lesson. The Russian winter again came to the aid of the Soviet soldiers.7 Two of the most frustrating things about driving a car are getting lost and getting stuck in traffic. While the computer revolution is unlikely to cure these problems, it will have a positive impact. Sensors in your car tuned to radio signals from orbiting satellites can locate your car precisely at any moment and warn of traffic jams. We already have twenty-four Navstar satellites orbiting the earth, making up what is called the Global Positioning System. They make it possible to determine your location on the earth to within about a hundred feet. At any given time, there are several GPS satellites orbiting overhead at a distance of about 11,000 miles. Each satellite contains four atomic clocks, which vibrate at a precise frequency, according to the laws of the quantum theory.3 Had he called anyone at Mackay Envelope Corporation to find out more about us? No. Had he called our suppliers? Our customers? No.4 Had he checked with his university to see if there were any graduates working at Mackay whom he could interview? Had he asked any friends to grill him in a mock interview? Did he go to the library to find newspaper clippings on us?5 Did he write a letter beforehand to tell us about himself, what he was doing to prepare for the interview and why hed be right for the job? Was he planning to follow up the interview with another letter indicating his eagerness to join us? Would the letter be in our hands within 24 hours of the meeting, possibly even hand-delivered? 6 The answer to every question was the same: no. That left me with only one other question: How well prepared would this person be if he were to call on a prospective customer for us? I already knew the answer.5I think the chief thing that struck me about Burton was his kindliness. There was something very pleasing in his mild blue eyes. His voice was gentle; you could not imagine that he could possibly raise it in anger; his smile was benign. Here was a man who attracted you because you felt in him a real love for his fellows. At the same time he liked his game of cards and his cocktail, he could tell with point a good and spicy story, and in his youth he had been something of an athlete. He was a rich man and he had made every penny himself. I suppose one thing that made you like him was that he was so small and frail; he aroused your instincts of protection. You felt that he could not bear to hurt a fly.In this unit we look at how the forces of nature can play a decisive role in determining the outcome of a war. Severe weather is often considered a cure, but for those facing attack it can come as a blessing, as Russia has found, Her cruel winter has come to her aid in throwing off invaders on more than one occasion, as we see in our first test. Our second text takes us to the preparations for the right moment when the forces of nature could be relied upon to help or at least mot hinder the assault was no easy task for those planning the seaborne invasion. Both stories vividly illustrate the power of nature to shape the course of history.In the past, when you complimented someone on having a “smart” car, chances are you were thinking of its appearance. But soon it will not be so much good looks as cleverness that comes to mind. For, as we see in this unit, cars may soon be able to manage to do on their own much of what drivers now do. Advances in technology are promising to lead to cars that will be able to see, hear, smell, speak and, some would say, think. Smart indeed, but how likely is it to happen and how soon? This unit will give you the resources you need to speculate on questions such as these and to express your opinion on what the future holds for us.This unit looks at the danger of jumping to conclusions about people on the basis of surface appearances without getting to know what they are really like. We all know that sometimes seemingly respectable members of the community are revealed to have been guilty of getting up to no good behind the scenes. Conversely, individuals whose appearance whose appearance makes them look suspicious can turn out to have hearts of gold. The stories you will find in this unit are all about people who are discovered to be quite different from how they seemed at first sight, serving to remind us of the old saying that you cant t judge a book by looking at its cover. 1.
