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".
Which of the following is not the difference between computertown and computer club?
选项
A、There are computer fans with some computer knowledge in the club.
B、There are experts in computertowns available to answer any questions.
C、The computertown develops faster than computer club.
D、The computer club may develop into an expert computer group.
答案
C
解析
细节题。根据题干中的“the difference between computertown and computerclub”可定位至第四段。根据第四段第四句“The clubs cater for the enthusiasts,with some computer knowledge already,who get together and eventually from an expertcomputer group.”可知,A、D正确,根据第四段末句“This frightens away non-experts,who are happier going to Computertowns where…,with experts available to encouragethem and answer any questions,…”可知,B项正确,C项意为“电脑城比电脑俱乐部发展更快”,文章并没有提到,故不能构成二者的不同之处。
