How Do Computers Work? (RAMPAGE)

After we read article “How Do Computers Work?” we can found some active voice and passive voice sentence. We ho pe the sentence that we found are correct. This is some sentence that we found:Active voice1.      Thomas Watson, boss of the giant IBM Corporation, reputedly forecast that the world would need no more than "about five computers.
2.      What makes computers flexible enough to work in all these different appliances?
3.      How  come they are so phenomenally useful?
4.      how exactly do they work?
5.      What is a computer?
6.      She is so good that everyone she knows posts their math problems to her
7.      she goes to her letterbox and finds a pile of new math problems waiting for her attention
9.      she takes a letter off the top of the pile, studies the problem, works out the solution, and scribbles the answer on the back.
10.  She puts this in an envelope addressed to the person who sent her the original problem and sticks it in her out tray, ready to post.
11.   Then she moves to the next letter in the pile. You can see that your friend is working just like a computer.
12.  What is a computer program?
13.  You just give it your instructions (called a program) and off it goes, performing a long and complex series of operations all by itself.
14.  What's the difference between hardware and software?
15.  What is an operating system?
16.  the computer  then works through all the pixels.
17.  your computer probably has an LCD screen capable of displaying high-resolution (very detailed) graphic.
Passive voice:
1.      To be fair to Watson, computers have changed enormously in that time
2.      They are embedded in everything from microwave ovens to cellphones and digital radios.
3.      Her letterbox is her input; the pile on her desk is her memory; her brain is the processor that works out the solutions to the problems; and the out tray on her desk is her output.
4.      if you wanted a home computer to do almost anything at all, you had to write your own little program to do it.
5.      They're "soft" in the sense that they are not fixed:
6.      and that's why millions of us can no longer live without them!
7.      In the 1940s, they were giant scientific and military behemoths commissioned by the government at a cost of millions of dollars apiece
8.       They are embedded in everything from microwave ovens to cellphones and digital radios
9.       What makes a computer different from a calculator is that it can works all by itself.
10.   Performing along and complex series of operations all by itself.
11.   By contrast, a computers hardware the bits and pieces from which it is made (and the peripherals, like the mouse and printer, you plug into it)
12.  Is usually written by the hardware manufacture
13.  the operating system that definitively made this breakthrough was, of course, Microsoft Windows, written by Bill Gates.
