　　Computer people talk a lot about the need for other people to become “computer - literate”.But not all experts (專家) agree that this is a good idea.

　　One pioneer, in particular, who disagrees, is David Tebbutt, the founder of Computertown UK. Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer, David doesn't see it that way. He says that Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers to people and make them “people -literate”.

　　David Tebbutt thinks Computertowns are most successful when tied to a computer club that he insists there is an important difference between the two. The clubs are for people who have some computer knowledge already. This frightens away non-experts, who are happier going to Computertowns where there are computers for them to experiment on, with experts to encourage them and answer any questions they have. The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers, but have to be able to answer all questions people ask. People don't have to learn computer terms, but the experts have to explain in plain language. The computers are becoming “people-literate.”

1．Which of the following is David Tebbutt's idea on the relationship between people and computer?

[　　]

A．Computer learning should be made easier.

B．There should be more computer clubs for experts.

C．People should work harder to master computer use.

D．Computers should be made cheaper so that people can afford them.

2．We can infer from the text that “computer- literate” means ________.

[　　]

A．being able to afford a computer

B．being able to write computer programs

C．working with the computer and finding out its value

D．understanding the computer and knowing how to use it

3．The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to the idea that computertowns ________.

[　　]

A．help to set up more computer clubs

B．bring people to learn to use computers

C．bring more experts to work together

D．help to sell computers to the public

4．David started computertown UK with the purpose of ________.

[　　]

A．making better use of computer experts
B．improving computer programs
C．increasing computer sales
D．popularizing computers

　　Grandpa Nybakken loved life－especially when he could play a trick on somebody．At those times, his large Norwegian frame shook with laughter while he pretended innocent surprise, exclaiming, “Oh, forevermore!” But on a cold Saturday in downtown Chicago, Grandpa felt that God played a trick on him, and grandpa wasn’t laughing．

　　Grandpa worked as a carpenter．On this particular day, he was building some boxes for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage abroad．On his way home, he reached into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone．He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church．His search proved fruitless．

　　Suddenly, he realized what had happened．The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the boxes, which he had nailed shut．His brand new glasses were heading for China!

　　The Great Depression was at its height, and Grandpa had six children．He had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning．

　　“It’s not fair,” he told God as he drove home in frustration．“I’ve been very faithful in giving of my time and money to your work, and now this．”

　　Several months later, the director of the orphanage was on vacation in the United States．He wanted to visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to speak on Sunday night at my grandfather’s small church in Chicago．Grandpa and his family sat in their usual seats among the small congregation(教堂會眾)．

　　“But most of all,” he said, “I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year．”

　　“Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glasses．Along with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day, so my co-workers and I were much in prayer about this．Then your boxes arrived．When my staff removed the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on the top．” After a long pause, he continued, “Folks, when I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been custom-made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”

　　The people listened, happy for the amazing glasses．But the director surely must have confused their church with another, they thought, there were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas．

　　But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way．

　　LOS ANGELES(Reuters)－Onions make you cry, add flavor to food and are talked about a lot for their medicinal benefits．Now the vegetable has another use－powering up green energy．

　　A new system debuts on Friday that changes onion juice into electricity at Gills Onions, the largest fresh onion processor(加工機)in the United States．

　　The Oxnard, California-based company expects its new onion-fueled power to reduce its electric bill by ＄700, 000 a year and cut its annual greenhouse gas releasing by up to 30,000 tons．The happy ending to this green energy tale, however, generated another question：how to get rid of onion waste．“When we peel an onion, 35 to 40 percent of the onion comes off before we have a usable onion．That’s the top, tail and skins around the onion before you get to the meat,” said Steven Gill, co-owner of the 25-year-old company．

　　They used to take the waste to the fields for composting(堆肥)but that became a problem as it cost too much．Ten years ago, Gill started looking at technology for a solution．“We ended up destroying the skins as they come out of the plant and extracting all the juice, which is very high in sugars, and bacteria love it,” Gill said．

　　In the new system, bacteria produce methane gas(沼氣)from the juice．The gas then goes to two 300 kilowatt fuel cells, creating enough power for 460 homes．The company expects to get 35 to 40 percent of its electricity from this new system．

　　The company invested ＄9．5 million in the project and will receive ＄2．7 million from Southern California Gas Co．, a regulated subsidiary of Sempra Energy, as part of a state program to encourage self-contained generation by businesses．In addition to cutting its electric bill, the company will save ＄400,000 in costs of taking the waste to the fields and expects pay-back in six years．

　　The onion grower now has a new goal：to be a zero-waste facility by 2013．

　　“We wanted to follow it all the way through and make the full circle,” Gill said．
