　　Conversation 1

　　Two fathers are talking about reducing children’s burden.Mr.Black：Mr.Brown，I feel our children are excessively burdened by school work.

　　Mr.Brown：I think you are right there.The more homework they are given，the less play they enjoy.To make it worse，many parents always expect their children to be the best.

　　Mr.Black：As a result，teachers at school put more pressure on their children.But really，it’s not good for children’s growth.More importantly，it’s not good for developing their comprehensive ability.

　　Mr.Brown：I can’t agree more.Children are deprived of childhood pleasures.

　　Mr.Black：I feel happy when I was told that schools may disappear in the future.

　　Mr.Brown：Disappear？What do you mean？

　　Mr.Black：I mean they will be replaced by home computer teachers.

　　Mr.Brown：It sounds good.In that way，children may have great fun while learning.

　　Mr.Black：That’s what I am thinking.Home��

　　work will be done on computer.It’s rather playful.

　　Mr.Brown：But at the same time，I have some worries.What about children’s personality development？I mean computer teachers are not good for children’s personality development.

　　Mr.Black：That’s not a problem.You see，technology is developing so fast.All types of human personality can be programmed to help children grow.

　　Mr.Brown：That’s better. I hope that day will come very soon.

　　Conversation 2

　　One student is asking his teacher for some information.Tom：Professor Wang，I hope I’m not interrupting.But I have some questions.

　　Professor：Not at all.What is it about？

　　Tom：In class，we have learned so many terms.My first impulse is to ask：“What’s new in electronics？”I suppose that would be silly.

　　Professor：No，the question is all right.You know，there’s something new in electronics almost every day.Where do I start？

　　Tom：What about the term “microelectronics”？Does it mean miniaturization？

　　Professor：No，it’s a step further into the sphere of micro�瞞iniaturization.To me it’s the most exciting field，particularly the mini�瞔omputer.

　　Tom：How “mini” can it be，can you tell me？

　　Professor：Well，it’s already possible to have one hundred and forty distinct circuits on a one�瞚nch disc of silicon.

　　Tom：I see.Then we can make an apparatus smaller in size and lighter in weight.

　　Professor：The cost of production can be decreased too.

　　Tom：The author says this micro�瞞iniaturization can lead itself to greater safety in another way.How do you think of it？

　　Professor：Of course，it’s true.In duplicate systems，for example，if one electronic device fails，a relay would automatically switch on a duplicate.And at the same time，the possibility of a failure is also decreased.

　　Tom：But how？

　　Professor：These micro�瞞iniaturized devices have no bit of wire soldered here and there.There is no broken joints.

　　Tom：But what if a fault does occur？How do you repair it？

　　Professor：Using test equipment，of course.You locate the faulty circuit，then simply withdraw it，throw it away and plug in a new one.

　　Tom：It’s really wonderful.
