Lesson 91

    Computers

    Computers are becoming a part of our everyday life. In fact, they are almost every- where. In many countries, more and more companies are replacing people with comput- ers. Telephone companies are no exception¹. When making a long-distance call on a pay phone in America, you will no longer talk to an operator². Instead, a computer will answer.

    它会告诉你该怎么做。难怪有人说电子计算机正渐渐接管世界。
