单选题A computer is a machine designed to perform work mathematically and to store and select in-formation that has been fed into it. It is run by either mechanical or electronic means. These ma-chines can do a great deal of complicated work in a very short time. A large computer, for exam-ple, can add or subtract nine thousand times a second, multiply a thousand times a second, or di-vide five hundred times a second. Its percentage of error is about one in a billion digits. It has been estimated that human beings making calculations average about one mistake per two hundred digits. The heart of an electronic computer lies in its vacuum tubes, or transistors. Its electronic circuits work a thousand times faster than the nerve ceils in the human brain. A problem that might take a human being two years to solve can be solved by a computer in one minute, but in order to work properly, a computer must be given instructions—it must be programmed. Computers can be designed for many specialized purposes, they can be used to prepare pay-rolls, guide airplane flights, direct traffic, even to play chess. Computers play an essential role in modern automation in many plants and factories throughout the world.

单选题Putting a bunch of college students in charge of a $300,000 Dance Marathon, fundraiser surely sounds a bit risky. When you consider the fact that the money is supposed to be given to children in need of medical care, you might call the idea crazy. Most student leaders don"t want to spend a large amount of time on something they care little about, said 22-year-old University of Florida student Darren Heitner. He was the Dance Marathon"s operations officer for two years. Yvonne Fangmeyer, director of the student organization office at the University of Wisconsin, conducted a survey in February of students involved in campus organizations. She said the desire for friendship was the most frequently cited reason for joining. At large universities like Fangmeyer"s, which has more than 40,000 students, the students, first of all, want to find a way to "belong in their own comer of campus". Katie Rowley, a Wisconsin senior, confirms the survey"s findings. "I wanted to make the campus feel smaller by joining an organization where I could not only get involved on campus but also find a group of friends." All of this talk of friendship, however, does not mean that students aren"t thinking about their resumes. "I think that a lot of people do join to " fatten up their resume"," said Heitner. "At the beginning of my college career, I joined a few of these organizations, hoping to get a start in my leadership roles." But without passion student leaders can have a difficult time trying to weather the storms that come. For example, in April, several student organizations at Wisconsin teamed up for an event designed to educate students about homelessness and poverty. Student leaders had to face the problem of solving disagreements, moving the event because of rainy weather, and dealing with the university"s complicated bureaucracy. "Outside-of the classroom learning really makes a big difference," Fangmeyer said.
