Reading comprehension Choose the best answers according to the following passage. (11-15) The competition among producers of personal computers is essentially a race to get the best and most innovative products to the marketplace. Apple Computer, Inc. has introduced two new, faster personal computers, the Macintosh II and Macintosh SE, before the introduction of a new PC by HP, one of Apple’s major competitors. Apple’s new computer, the improved Macintosh, is able to run programs that previously were impossible to run on an Apple PC, including IBM-compatible(兼容的) program. This compatibility feature makes Apple computers capable of running IBM programs and thus more popular in the office, where Apple hopes to increase sales. The new computers represent a big improvement over past models, but they also cost much more. Company officials do not think the higher price will slow down buyers who want a more powerful computer. Apple wants to stay in the high-price end of the personal computer market to finance research even faster, more sophisticated computers. Even though Apple and HP are major competitors, both companies realize that their competitor’s computers have certain features that their own models do not. The Apple line has always been popular for its beautiful color graphics, whereas the HP machines have always been favored in offices. In the future, there will probably be more compatibility between the two companies’ products, which no doubt will that both Apple and HP change marketing strategies. 11.
