READING . Read this text and do Task A and B 5 x 0.2= 1 mark

More than a famous valley

Silicon Valley is probably the most famous valley in the world. Although it is not the place where
the first computer was built, Silicon Valley, near San Francisco, was the birthplace of the modern
computer industry.

A
For the Beach Boys, that meant southern California, where they could sing about surfing and cars;
for the Hippies and radicals, it meant San Francisco, "flower power" and revolutionary new ideas.
The university campuses at Berkeley and Stamford, near San Francisco, were the places where new
ideas, new technology, new culture, and new ways of living started.

B
Today, Silicon Valley is still the home of the computer industry; it is still full of high technology,
but it is not the only center for high-tech in the USA: there are computer firms all over the USA....
and all over the world; but Silicon Valley still has the largest concentration of high-tech
companies and research centers.

C
This industry began in the west of USA. It was in the nineteen-sixties that American "youth culture"
really began. California, of course, already existed; but the Sixties Generation re-discovered it. At
the time there were really two different forms of youth culture; the "Beach Boy" culture on the one
hand, and the anti-establishment hippies and radical students on the other hand; and they all
dreamed of California.

D
When they finished university, many of the best students did not look for jobs with big companies
like Ford or Exxon. Instead, they wanted to be free and run their own operations.... and stay in
California, not far from San Francisco. So Silicon Valley is a group of small towns, including Palo
Alto and San José, a few miles south of San Francisco.
