问题     In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the earth’s postwar era, there was quite a wide-spread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction.
    Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong.
    Questioning and routine double-checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the warning: For all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.
The passage recommends those dealing with computers to_________.
选项 A、be reasonably doubtful about them
B、check all their answers
C、substitute them for basic thinking
D、use them for business purposes only
答案A
解析 根据第二段“…but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong．”可知，零篇文章建议到，当感到有什么不对的地方时一定要复查，也就是说要对计算机保持理性的怀疑，故选A。
