Here’s my simple test for a product of
today’s technology: I go to the bookstore and check the shelves for remedial
books. The more books, the more my suspicions are raised. If
computers and computer programs supposedly are getting easier to use, why are so
many companies still making a nice living publishing books on how to use
them
Computers manipulate information, but information is
invisible. There’s nothing to see or touch. The programmer decides what you see
on the screen. Computers don’t have knobs like old radios. They don’t have
buttons, not real buttons. Instead, more and more programs display
pictures of buttons, moving even further into abstraction and arbitrariness.
I like computers, but I hope they will disappear, that they will seem as
strange to our descendents as the technologies of our grandparents appear to us.
Today’s computers are
A. computers should be designed to adjust to the needs of human beings
B. errors result in people’s conformity to computer’s unnatural behavior
C. computers should imitate human’s ability to observe, communicate and innovate
D. tomorrow’s computers will shorten the distance for people’s communication

The intelligence test used most often today are based on the work of a Frenchman, Alfred Binet. In 1905, Binet was asked by the French Ministry of Education to develop a way to identify those children in French schools who were too "mentally deficient(不足的)" to benefit from ordinary schooling and who needed special education. The tests had to distinguish those who were merely behind in school from those who were actually mentally deficient.
The items that Binet and his colleague Theophile Simon included on the test were chosen on the basis of their ideas about intelligence. Binet and Simon believed intelligence includes such abilities as understanding the meaning of words; solving problems, and making commonsense judgements. Two other important assumptions also shaped Binet’s and Simon’s work: (1) that children with more intelligence will do better in school and (2) that older children have a greater ability than younger children.
Binet’
A. To select top students.
B. To know who had received ordinary schooling.
C. To put students in a right order.
D. To make sure who required particular treatment.
