A. Read the passage and answer the questions that follow:
The fact that electronic computers are now used for data processing has led the general public to believe
that it is a mysterious, complicated science and that the computers are giant brains. Both of these ideas are false. A
computer is basically just a high-speed adding machine that performs the functions it is told to. If the input data
are varied even a little, the computer is unable to operate until it is programmed to accept the variations. The
business operations it performs are impressive only because of the extremely high speed of manipulation, but
most of these operations have been used for decades. Unlike man, the computer performs repetitive calculations
without getting tired or bored.
