Computers, just like any new technology, have a negative side. As more and more

computers are used in production lines, many jobs are being taken over by computer-controlled machines. As a result, many workers are finding themselves jobless.

This constitutes a threat to social security. Another problem is computer crimes. For

example, some people are finding ways to break into the bank computer systems and

transfer large sums of money to their own accounts. There have been many reports like

this. One more negative effect of computers is that they bring about health problems.

Sitting in front of computers all day undoubtedly affects people’s health. Back pain, wrist

pain, failing eyesight, to name only a few. Section B

Many people place so much emphasis on success that they think any failure is bad.

Failure is never pleasant because it hurts people. But in fact it can make positive

contribution to our life once we learn how to make the best of it. We can learn from a

disastrous party how to give a good one. And we can learn from an ill-chosen first house

what to look for in a second. Even a total failure can give us fresh ideas or a change of

direction. Repeated failures lead to success and prove to be beneficial to us as we

experiment every day to find out the right way of doing things. Section B Reading skills I.
