Nowadays, computer is becoming more and more widely used. But people are not that familiar with knowledge of computer. How to operate computers still requires much devotion. Computer people talk a lot about the need for other people to become
" computer-literate"
, in other words, to learn to understand computers and what makes them tick. Not all experts agree, however, that this is a good idea.
One pioneer, in particular, David Tebbutt, is the founder of Computertown in 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 said that Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers to the people and make them "people-literate".
David first got the idea when he visited one of America’ s best-known computer "guru" figures, Bob Albrecht, Albrecht, in the small university town of Palo Alto in Northern California. Albrecht had started a project called Computertown USA in the local library, and the local children used to call round every Wednesday to borrow some time on the computer there, instead of borrowing library books. Albrecht was always on hand to answer any questions and to help the children discover about computers in their own way.
Over here, in Britain, Computertowns have taken off in a big way, and there are now about 40 scattered over the country. David Tebbutt thinks they are most successful when tied to a computer club. He insists that there be a vast and important difference between the two, although they complement each other. The clubs
cater for
the enthusiasts, who have been with some computer knowledge already, who get together and eventually from an expert computer group. This frightens away non-experts, who are happier going to Computertowns where there are computers available for them to experiment on, with experts available to encourage them and answer any questions. They are not told what to do, how to operate, and they find out.
David Tebbutt finds it interesting to see the two different approaches working side by side. The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about the operating principle of computers, but they have to be able to explain the answers to the questions that people really want to know. In some Computertowns there are question sessions, rather like radio phone-ins, where the experts listen to a lot of questions and then try to work out some structure to answer them. People do not have to learn computer jargons, even to be "computer-literate", but the experts have to translate computer mysteries into easily understood terms; then computers will be easier for people to operate, and the computers will become "people literate".
What does "computer-literate"(Line 4, Para. 1)mean?
选项
A、Everyone is necessary to have a computer.
B、People know much knowledge about computers.
C、Knowledge about computers is hard to absorb.
D、Computers are becoming more and more widely used.
答案
B
解析
推断题。literate意为“受过教育的”,那么computer-literate意为“受过电脑方面的知识教育的”,也就是“有电脑文化的”,B项符合。也可以通过上下文推测,根据其后语句“in other words,to learn to understand computers and what makes themtick”.电脑人士就其他人想要转变成有电脑文化的人的要求展开了许多讨论。换句话说,就是他们想要学习了解电脑以及电脑运行的奥妙。computer-literate指的是人们了解电脑方面的知识。
