Прочитай текст. Tony Redford was a journalist. He wrote articles for a magazine called Business News. He was a
young man, of medium height. He had rather long, dark brown hair and a small moustache.
There was always a very serious look on his face. He looked even more serious that morning. He
was in his boss's office. His boss was called Liz Davis and she was the editor of Business News.
«Well, Tony. Your first article about the electronics industry is going to the printer's this
afternoon. It's very interesting. But what about your second article? Are you sure you can write
two articles about the electronics industry? I mean, isn't one enough? » she asked. «Listen, Liz, I
tell you that the second article is going to be more interesting than the first! Far more interesting!
»
«I am going to get some information this evening about a small company called Shandor
Electronics. The director is probably one of the best electronics engineers in the world. But
nobody knows very much about him. Not even where he comes from. He lives on a yacht. He
never visits his factory in Southampton. Someone goes to the yacht from the factory every
morning in a helicopter. Now... I know an engineer who works at that factory. His name is
Presley, and Presley tells me that Shandor has plans for a new kind of electronic brain. It's much
smaller but far better than any other electronic brains on the market today. I'm going to meet
Presley in Southampton this evening. I am going to use the information I get from him in my
second article. Presley says Shandor is going to make some new kind of robot, too. But he
doesn't know very much about that. It's one of the company's biggest secrets! »
Liz Davis looked more interested than before.
«All right, Tony. Go ahead with your second article. But finish it no later than the end of next
week! Do you understand? I must have it at the end of next week! No later than that! »
