A
The most frightening words in the English language are “Our computer is down”. You hear it more and more
when you are on business.
The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I'm
sorry, I can't sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.”
“If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”
“I can't write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.”
I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the
black screen. Then I asked her, “What do all your people do？”
“We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”
“So when it goes down, you go down with it.”
“That's right, sir.”
“How long will the computer be down？” I wanted to know.
“I have no idea. Sometimes it's down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There's no way we can find out
without asking the computer, and since it's down it won't answer us.”
After the girl told me they had no backup (备用) computer, I said, “Let's forget the computer. What about your
planes? They're still flying, aren't they？”
“I couldn't tell without asking the computer.”
“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he's flying to Washington，” I suggested.
“I wouldn't know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn't take you if

“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours？”
“I wouldn't know，” she said, pointing at the dark screen. “Only ‘IT’ knows. ‘IT’ can't tell me.”
By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that the
computer was down. Some people went white; some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.

Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and
hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to
their classrooms.
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork
anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1,500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops
are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110yearold college. The students with laptops will
also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use email to “speak” with their teachers, their
classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able
to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fastfood restaurant or under
the trees — anywhere at all!
Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and
universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In
addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources.
State highereducation officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop
programs at other universities, too.
At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to

giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.”

A．use for their schoolwork
B．access the Internet
C．work at home
D．connect them to libraries
5．A window on the world in the last paragraph means that students can ________.
A．attend lectures on information technology
B．travel around the world
C．get information from around the world
D．have free laptops
6．What can we infer from the passage?

B．The program is not workable.
C．The program is too expensive.
D．We don't know the result yet.
