So why do manufacturer keep on designing and producing VCRs that are awkward to use if the problems are so obvious？ First, the problems we notice are not obvious to technically minded designers with years of experience and trained to understand how appliances work. Secondly, designers tend to add one or two features at a time to each model, whereas you or I face all a machine's features at once. Thirdly, although finding problems in a finished product is easy, it is too late by then to do anything about the design. Finally, if manufacturers can get away with selling products that are difficult to use, it is not worth the effort of any one of them to make improvements.
Some manufacturers say they concentrate on providing a wide range of features rather than on making the machines easy to use. But that gives rise to the question, "Why can't you have features that are easy use？" The answer is you can.
Good design practice is a mixture of specific procedures and general principles. For a start, designers should build an original model of the machine and try it out on typical members of the public—not on colleagues in the development laboratory. Simple public trials would quickly reveal many design mistakes. In an ideal world, there would be some ways of controlling quality such as that the VCR must be redesigned repeatedly until, say, 90 percent of users can work 90 per cent of the features correctly 90 per cent of the time.
The author had trouble operating his VCR because______.
A．he had neglected the importance of using the timer
B．the machine had far more technical features than necessary
C．he had set about using it without proper training
D．its operation was far more difficult than the designer intended it to be

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
Video recorders and photocopiers(复印机), even ticket machines on the railways, often seem unnecessarily difficult to use. Last December I bought myself a Video cassette recorder (VCR) described as "simple to use". In the first three weeks I failed repeatedly to program the machine to record from the YV, and after months of practice l still made mistakes. I am not alone. According to a survey last year by Ferguson, the British manufacturer, more than one in four VCR owners never use the timer on their machines to record a programme: they don't use it because they've found it far too hard to operate. So why do manufacturers keep on designing and producing VCRs that are awkward to use if the problems are so obvious？

Accurate Timer (精确记时器)
These days timing is everything．Between meetings and appointments, deadlines and conference calls, my schedule requires that I know the time down to the minute．Even on weekends, I have a football team to coach, shows to tape, and planes to catch．If I'm late, I'm sunk．The problem is that it's hard if my clocks aren't correct．Even the digital clocks can display time inaccurately．Dead batteries, time changes, "" any of these can cause a clock to be inaccurate．Now there is no need to worry, because advanced radio technology has produced a clock which gets the time directly from the U．S．Atomic Clock in Fort Collins, Colorado, the standard for time-keeping all over the world．The Atomic Clock by Acron is the most accurate, reliable and convenient timepiece you can have.
Every morning at 1:00 a.m, this "smart" clock in Colorado automatically resets itself to the exact hour, minute and second．The U．S．Atomic Clock is accurate to ten billionths of a second per day．This means that the clock deviates less than one second over a one-million-year period．The Atomic Clock even adjusts automatically for daylight saving time,so you don't have to remember to "spring forward" or "fall back"．The desktop clock model is the only atomic clock that will not lose time with low power or when you change its batteries.
The most accurate clock in the world is of no use if it is difficult to operate．The Acron Atomic Clock is engineered in Germany using the latest scientific technology．It comes in two styles, the wall clock and the desktop model．Both are designed to be functional and easy to use．The desk clock's display features the exact time (in hours, minutes and seconds) , month and date, or you can choose to display any two U．S．or world time zones．It weighs only eight ounces, and is the perfect travel clock．It also has dual alarms,perfect for couples．Both the desktop and the wall models have an internal antenna for good reception without unattractive wires.
第 41 题 What is the passage mainly about？
A．The importance of timing.
B．The working principle of an ordinary clock.
C．The features of the U.S．Atomic Clock.
D．The manufacturer of the U.S．Atomic Clock.
