一个可编制程序的机器。计算机的二种主要特性是:它响应一个具体的指令为一个明确定义的方式.现代计算机是电子和数字化的。现有机器--电线，晶体管和电路--被称为硬件；指令和数据被称为软件。 所有通用计算机要求以下硬件元件:物理内存：使计算机,至少临时地,存放数据和节目。,一个可编制程序的机器。计算机的二种大容量存储器设备:允许计算机永久地保存很多数据。大容量存储器设备普遍包括驱动器和磁盘驱动器。 输入设备:通常是键盘鼠标,输入设备是数据和指令进入计算机的途径。 输出设备:显示器、打印机,或其他可以让您看到计算机完成了什么的设备。中央处理单元(CPU):计算机的心脏部分，是实际上执行指令的部件。,除了这些部件,使得许多其他的基本部件一起实现高效率地工作成为可能。例如,要求一个巴士传送一个计算机上的一部分数据到另外的巴士上去.电脑根据体积和重量大致分类如下,虽然有有可能的交叉：个人计算机（PC机）:一个小的、单用户的电脑微处理器.除微处理器之外,一台个人计算机有一个键盘用来输入数据,一个显示器用来显示信息,还有存贮设备用来保存数据。,工作站:一个强大的、单用户计算机.就是一台个人计算机,但它有个更强大的微处理器和更优质的显示器。·小型机:多用户电脑，可支持10到上百用户同步.·主机:一个强大的多用户电脑，可支持多用户或成百上千的用户同步.·大型机:一个非常快的计算机，能每秒响应亿万个指令.,Discusstogetherandthendecidewhichkindofcomputeryouwouldliketobuyforyourschool.Discussion,A:Lookatthiscomputer.Ithasbeengivenasmallermonitor.B:That’sgoodbecausewecanthenhavemorecomputersintheschool.DoesithavetheInternetaswell?Sampledialogue:,A:Youcanhaveitfittedbutitisnotincludedintheprice.Nowlookatthisone.Bothasmallmonitorandaflatscreenhavebeenincluded.ItcanbejoinedtotheInternetstraightawayandithasbeengivenalargeharddisccapacity.That’sgoodofcourse.,B:Doyouthinkweshouldbuylaptopcomputersforourschool?Theyaremoreusefulbecausetheycanbemovedfromroomtoroom.Theschoolwouldnotneedtoprovideaspecialroomforcomputers.Theyarealsosmallerandcanbestoredawaymoreeasily.Buttheyhaveprovedtobemuchmoreexpensivethanapersonalcomputer.,A:Yes,thatiswhytheprincipaltoldmewecouldnotbuythem.Hewouldnotbeabletoaffordenoughfortheschoolsowehadbetterlookatthepersonalcomputers.Thisoneisveryfastandusesdiscswhichcanstoremoreinformation.Alsoitisneithertoolargenortooexpensive.,Let’sseewhatit’smadeof.Whyit’sperfect!It’smadefromrecycledmaterialssoourheadmasterwillbeverypleased.Hewillhavekilledtwobirdswithonestone!Theschoolwillhavenewcomputersandhavesavedtheearth’smaterialsaswell.B:Let’schoosethisone,OK?A:Ithinkitisagooddecision.,Writeareporttoyourschooltogiveyourviewout.Writing,Welookedatmanydifferentcomputers.TheonewehavechosenisthePEPpersonalcomputer.Oneofthemainreasonsisthatitissuitableforschools.Wefoundthatithasbeenbuiltwithasmallermonitorandaflatscreen.Wethinkthesethingswillsavespacesothattheschoolcanfindroomformorecomputers.Example,Thiscomputeralsohasbeenfittedwithanimproveddisc.Thestudentswillbeabletoputmoreinformationononedisc.Thiscomputerisalsogoodbecauseithasbeenmadefromrecycledmaterials.BothmypartnerandIsuggesttheschoolshouldbuythiscomputer.
