Computer people talk a lot about the need for other people to become “computer-literate.” But not all experts (专家) agree that this is a good idea.

One pioneer, in particular, who disagrees is David Tebbutt, the founder of Computertown UK. Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer. David does not see it that way. He says that Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers to people and make them “people-literate.” David Tebbutt thinks Computertowns are most successful when tied to a computer club but he insists 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 are happier going to Computertowns where there are computers for them to experiment on, with experts to encourage them and answer any questions they have. 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 don’t have to learn computer terms(术语), but the experts have to explain in plain language. The computers are becoming “people-literate.”

56 Which of the following is David Tebbutt’s ides on the relationship between people and computers?

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.

57We can infer from the text that “computer-lilerate” means_______.

A. being able to afford a computer

B. being able to write computer programs

C. working with the computer and finding out its value

D. understanding the computer and knowing how to use it

58 The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to the idea that Computertowns ___.

A.help to set up more computer clubs

B.bring people to learn to use computers

C. bring more experts to work together

D. help to sell computers to the public

59 David Tebbutt started Computertown UK with the purpose of______.

A. making better use of computer experts????? B. improving computer programs

C.increasing omputersales????????????D. popularising computers

Depression(抑郁症)is a serious problem today．Depression causes workers to be unproductive，causing companies and countries to lose billions of dollars．One expert says that depression is like cancer because it is “widespread，costly and deadly”．Depression hits one person in five around the world．

??Although people have believed depression to be a problem among the rich and educated，studies show that depression is a problem among everyone。Over any six-month period，between five to seven percent of the world's population will be suffering from a serious depression．

? uicide(自杀)rates among people suffering from the disease in its extreme，or clinical form were 80 percent higher than in the population at large，and sufferers were four times more likely to have heart attacks. People who suffer from depression often have problems sleeping，getting up on time，and doing work productively．

?Depression，which researchers agree has its origin in the genes(基因)，brings loss of confidence and ability to concentrate-making it impossible for employees and managers to work efficient
