Yet we would do well to remind ourselves that technology is a human creation; it does not exist naturally. A spear or a robot is as much a cultural as a physical object. Until humans use a spear to hunt game or a robot to produce machine parts, neither is much more than a solid mass of matter. For a bird looking for an object on which to rest, a spear or robot serves the purpose equally well. The explosion of the Challenger space shuttle(挑战者号航天飞机) and the Russian nuclear accident at Chernobyl drive home the human quality of technology; they provide cases in which well-planned systems suddenly went haywire(变得混乱)and there was no ready hand to set them right. Since technology is a human creation, we are responsible for what is done with it. Pessimists worry that we will use our technology eventually to blow our world and ourselves to pieces. But they have been saying this for decades, and so far we have managed to survive and even flourish. Whether we will continue to do so in the years ahead remains uncertain. Clearly, the impact of technology on our lives deserves a closer examination.
Few technological developments have had a greater impact on our lives than the computer revolution. Scientists and engineers have designed specialized machines that can do the tasks that once only people could do. There are those who assert that the switch to an informationbased economy is in the same camp as other great historical milestones, particularly the Industrial Revolution. Yet when we ask why the Industrial Revolution was a revolution, we find that it was not the machines. The primary reason why it was a revolutionary is that it led to great social change. It gave rise to mass production and, through mass production, to a society in which wealth was not confined to the few.
In somewhat similar fashion, computers promise to revolutionize the structure of American life, particularly as they free the human mind and open new possibilities in knowledge and communication. The industrial Revolution supplemented and replaced the muscles of humans and animals by mechanical methods. The computer extends this development to supplement and replace some aspects of the mind of human beings by electronic methods. It is the capacity of the computer for solving problems and making decisions that represents its greatest potential and that poses the greatest difficulties in predicting the impact on society.
A spear or a robot has the quality of technology only when it ______.
A．is used both as a cultural and a physical object
B．serves different purposes equally well
C．is utilized by man
D．can be of use to both man and animal

Cost as a Factor in Supply
In a purely competitive market, the supplier of goods and services has no control over the market price, because he produces too little to influence market conditions. With no difference between his product and the products (19) his competitors, he will sell nothing if he charges above the market price and he will sell all if he charges at or below the market price. However, in considering the price, be must take cost of production (20) . There are times when he may be willing to sell below his cost. This might happen when prices tumble for (21) a short time. However, no business person can (22) lose money for a prolonged (延长的) period. He must (23) of his costs in relation to the market price if he is to compete successfully and earn a profit.
Many people have the impression that (24) production increases, costs per unit decrease. (25) mass production has made this true in certain industries and at certain levels of production, (26) logic and practical experience have shown that costs per unit begin to rise beyond a certain level of production. Some economists (27) this principle as the law of increasing costs.
The reason why (28) rise as production goes up is complex. However, it is easy to recognize that as production goes up, the need for additional factors of production will also grow, resulting (29) competitive bidding (出价) in the marketplace for the factors of production. If a producer needs (30) skilled labour to produce more, and none of this labour is unemployed, the producer will have to get (31) from other sources. This can be done by (32) higher wages. Higher bidding would also apply to the other factors of production. We must also recognize that not all labour is equally productive, (33) not all land is equally fertile (肥沃的) and not all ore is equally rich in the mineral wanted.

D．on
