问题    In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the earth’s postwar era, there was quite a widespread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction(失误).
   Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but- people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong.
   Questioning and routine double- checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre- computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the warning: for all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.
选项 A、To look back to the early days of computers.
B、To explain what technical problems may occur with computers.
C、To discourage unnecessary investment in computers.
D、To warn against a mentally lazy attitude towards computers.
答案D
解析 本题为概括题。由于计算机越来越多地减少人们的日常公务和日常生活中的琐事，人们往往过分地信鞭它，不愿意挑战其权威性，甚至也懒得去想是否按错了一个键或计算机是否出了点毛病。为了解决这些问题，文章中提到每台计算机应提醒用户：尽管计算机能提供各种帮助，但绝不能把它看作是替代你思考和推理的工具，言外之意是告诫人们不要抱有懈惰的依赖心理。
