C

Computer people talk lots about the need for other people to become " computer literate " . But

not all experts think it a good idea.

Onepioneer, in particular, who disagrees, is David Debut, the founder of Computer town

UK. Though many people see this as a suc'cessful attempt to bring people closer to the computer,

David does not see it that way. He says that Computer town UK was formed for just the opposite

reason, to bring computers to people and make them "people literate".

David Debut thinks Computer towns are most successful when tied to a computer club but he

thinks 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 want to go to Computer towns

where there are computers for them to operate, with experts to encourage them and answer any

questions they ask. They are not told what to do, they find out. The computer experts have to learn

not to tell people about computers, but have to be able to answer all questions people ask. People needn ' t leam computer terms(术语) . But the experts have to explain in plain language. The computers are becoming " people literate" .

64. Which of the following is David Debut ' s idea on the relationship between people and com-

puters？

[ 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.
