We are already familiar with puters—puters work for us at home, in offices and in factories. But it is also true that many children today are using puters at schools before they can write. What does this mean for the future? Are these children lucky or not?
Many people who do not know about puters think of them as machines that children play with. They worry that children do not learn from experience but just from pressing a button and that this is not good for them. They think that children are growing not knowing about the real world.
But people who understand more about puters say that puters can be very good for children. A puter can help them to learn about the real world more quickly, to learn what they want to learn and think for themselves. And for the future, don’t we need people who can think clearly, who know how to get information quickly and use it well? What do you think?

(答案→)B
解析：本文主要介绍了对孩子使用电脑的两种不同观点。有人认为电脑对小孩子有害，电脑是小孩子的游戏机，孩子们成长过程中不了解真实的世界；有人认为电脑对小孩子有益，孩子们通过电脑更快地了解真实世界，知道自己想要学什么，会独立思考。
【小题1】推理题，由破折号后的解释“电脑在家里、办公室、工厂都为我们工作”可知我们已经“了解”电脑。“know about”知道，了解。故选B。
【小题2】细节题，阅读文章可知第二段是说不太了解电脑的人认为电脑对小孩子不好，而第三段则说那些懂电脑的人认为电脑对小孩子有益，因此，并不是每个人都认为电脑对小孩子有益。故选B。
【小题3】细节题，根据最后一段中“And for the future, don’t we need people who can think clearly, who know how to get information quickly and use it well?”未来,我们难道不需要那些可以清晰地思考,知道如何快速获取信息并使用它的人吗?故选C。
