There was the widely publicized case of a family man who became so absorbed in his computer that he spent long hours with it. 【B2】Of course, if he was spending long hours with his computer, he was spending less time with his family. And if his wife needed to see him, he was unavailable. She became so upset by this state of affairs that she delivered an ultimatum (最后通牒), declaring that unless he spent fewer hours with the machine and more with her and the family, she was going to divorce him. This issue became so serious that the couple had to go to a doctor to resolve it. 【B3】The fortunate result was that the husband reduced the time he spent with the computer, and the marriage was saved.
【B4】Personal computers may cause people to become isolated from one another since work can be done at home alone. In this case, there may be no need for offices, or for that matter, for any other central gathering place. Universities, or even cities, could be abandoned. Moreover, if what is now recorded on paper is recorded in the computer instead, people will have no reason to use any paper whatsoever: no money, receipts, letters, newspapers, magazines, books, and so on. 【B5】If this happens, there will be no need to go to the bank, the bookstore, or the library. Will people then be isolated in their separate homes-alone with their computers and their families, apart from fellow workers, readers, or students?
This is so because the widespread use of the personal computer is a relatively new phenomenon.
听力原文:M: Is Mr. Cheng in the office?
W: He won't be in the office today. I'm his assistant. Perhaps I can help you.
M: I need an extension for a paper. And my professor said I would have to get special permission from the dean.
W: For what course?
M: World history, Prof. Brown's course.
W: Is this a term paper or a paper written instead of a final exam?
M: It's to take the place of the final exam.
W: So usually, it would be due on the last day of the exam period, which is this Friday. That's two days away. Don't you think you could have the paper finished by then?
M: I haven't even started yet. You see, I've been sick since last Saturday with flu. I just left hospital this morning.
W: So you were in the hospital for 4 days?
M: Yes, from Saturday until today.
W: Generally for this kind of case, we can postpone the exam or the due day of a paper by the number of days the student has been iii, in your case, by 4 days.
M: That means I'll be able to hand in my paper next Tuesday instead of this Friday.
W: That's right. But first you have to fill out this form, writing down the name of the course, your reasons for the extension and so on, then take the request to the hospital to have it signed by the doctor, then bring it back to me today. And I'll have a copy sent to Prof. Brown.
M: Thank you very much. I'll see you late this afternoon with the completed form.
W: See you then.

M: Yeah. The novelist Charles Dickens has been a best selling author for a very long time, in fact since his work appeared a hundred and fifty years ago. It' s here in this house that he completed "The Pickwick Paper". It was here, too, that he wrote "Nicholas Nickleby" and "Oliver Twist". They followed on the success of "The Pickwick Papers" and established his reputation as a leading author.
W: Dickens really was the first great popular novelist, wash' t he?
M: Exactly. He and his publishers had discovered the very useful means of writing in monthly parts so you could buy parts of novels serially, quite cheaply. Dickens' works were absolutely best-sellers and this continued throughout the thirty or forty years of his writing life.
W: Why is he still so popular, when so many writers go out of fashion?
M: I think in the end you put it down to nothing short of genius, that what he was doing was writing for a popular audience in his own time.
