There was a time when parents who wanted an educational present for their children would buy a typewriter, a globe or an encyclopedia set.

Now those 【21】______ seem hopelessly old-fashioned: this Christmas, there were a lot of 【22】______ computers under the tree. 【23】______ that computers are their key to success, parents are also frantically insisting that children 【24】______ taught to use them on school—as early as possible. The problem for schools is that when it 【25】______ computers, parents don’t always know best. Many schools are 【26】______ parental impatience and are purchasing hardware without 【27】______ educational planning, so they can say, OK, we've moved into the computer age. Teachers 【28】______ themselves caught in the middle of the problem — between parent pressure and 【29】______ educational decisions.

Educators do not even agree 【30】______ how computers should be used. A lot of money is going for computerized educational materials 【31】______ research has shown can be taught 【32】______ with pencil and paper. Even those who believe that all children should 【33】______ to computer warn of potential 【34】______ to the very young.

The temptation remains strong largely because young children 【35】______ so well to computers. First graders have been 【36】______ willing to work for two hours on math skills. Some have an attention span of 20 minutes.

【37】______ school, however, can afford to go into computing, and that creates 【38】______ another problem: a division between the have’s and havenot’s. Very few parents ask 【39】______ computer instruction in poor school districts, 【40】______ there may be barely enough money to pay the reading teacher.

People in the US can now carry an artificial intelligence (AI) around in their pocket, where it waits patiently to be told what to do.
Siri, an iPhone application that understands spoken commands and uses the web to carry them out,is a byproduct from a US military project to develop an artificially intelligent assistant.
Many people's experience of a "virtual assistant" may be limited to Microsoft's annoying classic Mr. Clippy. But in the week we spent together, my AI assistant has performed admirably in finding me restaurants, or the location of the nearest coffee shop. It wasn't even stumped when I asked "do I need my umbrella today？" coming straight back with the local weather forecast.
A typical command might be: "Reserve a table for two at a good French restaurant in San Francisco." Siri responds by presenting a list of top-rated restaurants that can be booked on OpenTable.com. If you say which time you want, it can book you a table without your lifting a finger.
In some ways Siri is just a fancy front-end to the 35 sites it can connect to, from taxi booking sites to movie review databases. But what's new is the way it can interpret the intentions of its master or mistress and use those sites to put them into action.
Doing that requires the ability to actually understand the meaning of words you use, not just passing on keywords blindly, says Siri co-founder Adam Cheyer.
"Book a four-star restaurant in Boston seems pretty straightforward," says Cheyer, "until you realise that Book is a city in the US, and Star is also a city in the US, and there are 13 Bostons, and Star is also the name of a restaurant."
To cut through what Cheyer calls the "combined explosion of interpretations", Siri uses your location, and the history of the commands you've given. It knows that "book" is most likely a command verb, unless you happen to be near the city of Book.
Siri attaches probabilities to the interpretation of each word and cross-reference(参照) with your location and other data, some of which you must provide yourself.
According to the passage, Siri is most probably ______.
A．still at its experimental stage
B．very popular with iPhone users
C．a US military assistant software
D．an artificial intelligence software
