　　One pioneer, in particular, who disagrees is David Tebbutt, the founder of Computertown UK. Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer, David does not see it that way. He says that Computer town UK was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers to people and make them “people-literate?

　　David Tebbutt thinks Computertowns are most successful when tied to a computer club but he insists there is an important difference between the two. The clubs are for people who have some computer knowledge already. This frightens away non-experts, who are happier going to Computertowns where there are computers for them to experiment on, with experts to encourage them and answer any questions they have. They are not told what to do. They find out. The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers, but have to be able to answer all questions people ask. People don’t have to learn computer terms(术语), but the experts have to explain in plain language. The computers are becoming “people-literate?(www.nmet168.com)

　　1. Which of the following is David Tebbutt’s idea on the relationship between people and computers?

　　A. Computer learning should be made easier.

　　B. There should be more computer clubs for experts.

　　C. People should work harder to master computer use.

　　D. Computers should be made cheaper so that people can afford them.

　　2. We can infer from the text that “computer-liberate” means ________.

　　A. being able to afford a computer

　　B. being able to write computer programs

　　C. working with the computer and finding out its value

　　D. understanding the computer and knowing how to use it

　　3. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to the idea that Computertowns ________.

　　A. help to set up more computer clubs

　　B. bring people to learn to use computers

　　C. bring more experts to work together

　　D. help to sell computers to the public

　　4. David Tebbutt started Computertown UK with the purpose of _______.

　　A. making better use of computer experts

　　B. improving computer programs

　　C. increasing computer sales

　　D. popularizing computers

　　【答案与解析】本文提出普通人应该了解有关计算机本身的知识还是应学会运用计算机来解决实际问题，作者倾向于后一观点。

　　1. A。文中第1段和第2段开头已经告诉读者，David Tebbutt 不同意普通人要学会电脑本身的有关知识。后文中还提及他的观点是 ...bring computer to people and make them people-literate 以及让 experts have to explain in plain language 等，可知 A 为正确答案。

　　2. D。文章最后一段是解释 people-literate 的含义。

　　3. B。文章第2段说 David Tebbutt 不主张人向电脑靠拢，而主张电脑向人靠拢，这种人文观念正好说明正确答案为 B。

　　4. D。文章第3段主要叙述：进电脑俱乐部的人一般都有一些电脑知识，这会把那些想在电脑上试试身手，且有专家鼓励他们提问的非专业人士吓跑;而在电脑城里，电脑专家只需回答人们的提问，不必讲授一些电脑术语，而只用浅显的语言讲解电脑的使用知识，由此可见，电脑城是为普及电脑知识而开设的。

　　A

　　Papa’s jaw dropped when Mama told him that Sister had cheated on her final exams―not to succeed but to fail. “It’s unbelievable!” he said. “Sister has always been so proud of her good grades!”

　　“Yes, she has,” said Mama. “But it’s not unbelievable. It just shows how badly she wanted off the swimming team.”

　　“Wanted off the swimming team?” said Papa. “She never said anything about that to me.”

　　“Of course she didn’t,” said Mama. “She was afraid you’d blow your top. You already had her getting a swimming scholarship to college and winning gold medals at the Olympics. Can you imagine how much pressure she must have felt? For her, being on the team couldn’t have been much fun.”

　　“Oh, my gosh!” Papa said, clapping a hand to his forehead. “I’ve been so stupid! I just thought she’d want to be a champion swimmer because she’s so good at it.”

　　“It’s like anything else, dear,” said Mama. “No matter how good at it you are, if it stops being fun, you won’t want to do it anymore.”

　　Papa put his head in his hands.

　　“She must be really mad at me,” he mumbled. “Maybe I should say sorry to her.”

　　Sister’s footsteps could be heard on the stairs. She came into the kitchen and looked hopefully up at her parents.

　　“Honey,” said Mama with a smile, “your papa and I have decided that there’s no reason for you to be on the swimming team if you don’t want to.”

　　Sister’s face lit up like a Christmas tree. “Yippee!” she cried.

　　“And,” added Papa, “there’s no need for any more drills. I’m sure you’ll bring your grades back up all by yourself.”

　　Sister ran to Papa and jumped into his arms. She gave him a big hug. “I’m going to go p lay cards with Lizzy!” she said. “See you later!”[

　　From the kitchen window, Mama and Papa watched their daughter run down the sunny road toward Lizzy’s house.

　　“It’s good to see her happy again,” said Mama.

　　“It sure is,” Papa agreed. “As for the swimming team, there’s always next year.”

　　“If?” Mama prompted him.

　　“Oh, right,” said Papa. “If she wants to.”

　　Mama smiled. “At least you’re learning, dear,” she said. She kissed him.

　　“Well, you know what they say,” Papa said. “Better late than never.”

　　A. she was not as good at swimming as ever before

　　Exactly As Described Feb 15, 2010

　　Product arrived quickly. The description said there was a tear on the cover of the book. I was pleased that it was just a small tear and otherwise the book was in very good condition. This seller was honest and did not try to overplay the condition in order to make a sale.

　　Some good information Feb 06, 2010

　　This book does have some good information, but it does not talk at all about eating organic food, grass fed beef, free-range eggs, etc. The poisonous pesticides (杀虫剂) and artificial hormones (激素) in our society have a huge effect on our health and some illnesses probably wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for them.
