38、解析：听力原文1-10There is no doubt that the computer has enlarged mans working capacity as well as his intellectual capacity enormously. Er. but it brings with it dangers to match the benefits. Now by this, I mean danger to physical and mental well-being of the people who work at computer terminals, not t

44、lly, it seems that its not only those who work with computers who are at risk. Er . there is perhaps more danger for people who use computers for interest or pleasure in their own homes. Now, its obviously not possible to impose in the privacy of peoples homes the sort of safeguards that can be appl
45、ied in the working environment.
