The Effect of Computers on People
Computers are playing a more and more important role in people's lives. Most people's jobs are likely to be affected by computers in one way or another. Teachers, for example, can use computers in the classroom to help their teaching. Students may also have their computers to use. Students can use computers to ask questions and solve problems.
It is true that computers can help people do a lot of tasks. However, at the moment, there are a lot of things that a computer cannot do. Computers cannot perform an operation. Computers cannot think like the way people can.
Some people are trying to make a program, which will enable computers to think like people. They have got some surprising successes. Some computer programs can play chess much better than the average player. In one game, a computer has beaten the world chess champion. This game is a board game like chess but much simpler.
However, computers are only effective when problems are clearly described in advance. They are next to useless when problems are not clearly described. For example,an airplane can fly automatically most of the time, but there is always a human pilot in it and can check whether something goes wrong. The human can react to those situations which he may not imagine in advance.
Some people say that computers can never have "minds of their own" because they need a program, which is created by a human, to tell them what to do. This is perfectly true. But how do we know that a program giving a computer a mind of its own cannot be written? Researchers are making efforts to write such a program. Despite this, it is still a long way to write such a program.(10 分)

二、阅读选择

On November 19, 1863, Abraham Lincoln went to Gettysburg in Pennsylvania to speak at the National Soldiers Cemetery. The Civil War was still going on. There was much criticism of President Lincoln at the time. He was not at all popular. He had been invited to speak at Gettysburg only out of courtesy. The principal speaker was to be Edward Everett, a famous statesman and speaker of the day. Everett was a handsome man and very popular everywhere.
It is said that Lincoln prepared his speech on the train while going to Gettysburg. Late that night, alone in his hotel room and tired out, he again worked briefly on the speech. The next day Everett spoke first. He spoke for an hour and 57 minutes. His speech was a perfect example of the rich oratory of the day. Then Lincoln rose. The crowd of 15,000 people at first paid little attention to him. He spoke for only nine minutes. At the end there was little applause. Lincoln turned to a friend and remarked, “I have failed again.” On the train back to Washington he commented sadly, “That speech was a flat failure, and the people are disappointed.”
Some newspapers at first criticized the speech. But little by little, as people read the speech, they began to understand better. They began to appreciate its simplicity and its deep meaning. It was a speech which only Abraham Lincoln could have made.
Today, every American school child learns Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address by heart. Now everyone thinks of it as one of the greatest orations ever given in American history.(10 分)
