Text：Computers
Imagine that it is a few years in the future.
You are studying English in a small town in a foreign country.
The newspaper rarely has news about your country.
In fact,it has very little international news,
but this does not bother you at all.
You sit comfortably in your apartment,turn on your computer,
and ask for the international news.
The screen is immediately filled with news from all over the world.
The computer is a wonderful machine.
It is the most important invention since the type of engine used in cars.
These days it has a great effect on science,industry,and business.
We are using it more and more and its use has become very common in educationand medicine.
By theend of this century it will touch on everyone's life,
even the lives of the people in distant villages.
It is a revolutionary invention.
Today most computers are stored-program computers;
that is,they have a memory.
The computer has become smaller and smaller in size
and it works faster and faster:the results of advancements in science.
Computers can do all kinds of work,including controlling people and making war.
Will we use them to improve our lives?
The students of today will ha to decide how to use the computers of tomorrow.
