Passage 3
There is Ho denying that students should learn something about how computers work, just as we expect them at least to understand that the internal-combustion engine has something to do with burning fuel,expanding gases and pi伽ns being driven. For people should have some basic idea of how the things that they use do what they do. Further,students might be helped by a course that considers the computer s impact on society. But that is not what is meant by computer literacy. For computer literacy is not a form of literacy ;it is a trade skill that should not be taught as a liberal art.
Learning how to use a computer and learning how to program one are two distinct activities. A case might be made that the competent citizens of tomorrow should free themselves from their fear of computers. But this is quite different from saying that all ought to know how to program one. Leave that to,people who have chosen programming as a career. While programming can be lots of fun,and while our society needs some people who are experts at it, the same is true of auto repair and violin-making.
Learning how to use a computer is not that difficult, and it gets easier all the time as programs become more user-friendly ? Let us assume that in the future everyone is going to have to know how to use a computer to be a competent citizen. What does the phrase learning to use a computer mean? It sounds like learning to drive a car , that is,it sounds as if there is some set of definite skills that,once
acquired,enable one to use a computer.
In fact, .learning to use a computeris much more like learning to play a game,but learning the rules of one game may not help you play a second game,whose rules may not be the same. There is no such a thing as teaching someone how to use a computer. One can only teach people to use this or that program and generally that is easily accomplished.
4. To be the competent citizens of tomorrow,people should ?
A. try to lay a solid foundation in computer science
B. be aware of how the things that they use do what they do
C. learn to use a computer by acquiring a certain set of skills
D. understand that programming a computer is more essential than repairing a car
讲解答案:
C 何要能成为未来称职的公民,人们应怎样做。根据文章第二段的意思,学习使用计算机和学习用计算机编程是两回事,明确指出未来称职的公民不该对计算机有恐惧感,只要学会如何使用计算机就可以了,因此选C。
