A growing number of educators in the United States have begun to question just how beneficial computers are in the classroom.

Statistics shows that 26 percent of American schoolchildren aged 5 to 9 years old use computers at school. Yet little research has been conducted to examine what impact computers have on children's cognitive and emotional development. Our concern is that this is very powerful technology, the effects of which we don't really know.

【答案解析】[听力原文]
This morning I'm going to talk briefly about consumer price changes in five major countries. Let's look at the United States figures. As you can see, the annual change in consumer prices rose from around 4% in 2002 to just under 6% in 2004. At present the United States has the highest rate of inflation of the five countries considered. Now turning to France, we can see that consumer prices rose less quickly than those in Britain and the United States. Inflation rose to over 3% in 2005. By 2006, the inflation rate in France had fallen below that in Germany and was now equal to that in Japan.
