【正确答案】{{B}} The Fight Against Y2K Bug Is Necessary{{/B}}
Right after the New Year' s eve of 2000, even before dawn, the Y2K critics were sharpening their knives. To them the lack of havoc was the proof that the Y2K bug was just an illusion. Some even say the "bug" has been "magnified to an elephant". Therefore they contend that the money spent on it was unnecessary. But their argument does not hold up for examination.
To begin with, Y2K has always been a question mark. The possibility that it would cause disasters to the world was remote, but even a slim chance for failure required contingency plans. Nobody would consider the risk that missiles shoot off their silos as fireworks in the sky. So every penny spent on it is worthwhile.
Further more, even now, only a few Y2K managers are willing at this early date to pronounce the Y2K operation a success. It is way too soon to signal an all-clear. Since the bug did cause in Europe some auto-banks to stop working, we can say every effort of ours on it is necessary. We can never be too cautious on the issue.
In addition, we avoided chaos because programmers and managers around the world did their best to solve this potential problem before it became a reality. Of course, some projections were inaccurate, falling on both the low and high sides of reality. But Y2K bug is an issue man has never encountered before. We were actually on something brand new to us.
In a word, in order to ensure a peaceful and secure world, the fight against the Y2K bug is absolutely necessary.
