问题    There was a time when parents who wanted an educational present for their children would buy a typewriter, a globe or an encyclopedia set.
   Now those  【21】______  seem hopelessly old-fashioned: this Christmas, there were a lot of  【22】______  computers under the tree.  【23】______  that computers are their key to success, parents are also frantically insisting that children  【24】______  taught to use them on school—as early as possible. The problem for schools is that when it  【25】______  computers, parents don’t always know best. Many schools are  【26】______  parental impatience and are purchasing hardware without  【27】______  educational planning, so they can say, OK, we’ve moved into the computer age.  Teachers  【28】______  themselves caught in the middle of the problem — between parent pressure and  【29】______  educational decisions.

Very few parents ask  【39】______  computer  instruction in poor school districts,  【40】______  there may be barely enough money to pay the reading teacher.
