（每小题2分，共10分）Computers can solve different problems and control the machine which is not simple. Many people use small computers called calculators(计算器)to add, minus, multiply and divide numbers quickly.Scientists use large computers to solve many problems at the same time. You can play games with computers and some computers can help you learn languages. The Reading Machine is a special kind of computer. It can read books for blind people.This machine is made of three sections(部分) : a scanner (扫描仪), a computer and a voice synthesizer (合成器). These three parts are like your eyes, your brain, and your voice. The scanner is the “eye” of the machine. It scans, or looks at the words on the page of a book and changes them into signals (信号). The signals then go into the computer, the “brain” of the machine. The computer analyzes (分析) the signals and recognizes the words and then sends information about the words to the voice synthesizer. The voice synthesizer makes the sounds of the words.To use the machine, a blind person simple opens the book and puts it face down on the scanner. The machine “read” the words on the page. When one page is finished, the blind person turns the page and puts the book on the scanner again. The Reading Machine can read in a standard voice or in a special fast voice. It can read the words with small letters, large letters, or italics (斜体)。
