B they must turn off their phones to keep their homes quiet.
D they are too busy to make phone calls.
A could help store messages.
C could tell when it is wise to interrupt you.

A to control the sensors and the camera.
C to compare their behaviors with others.

B the computer was not busy
D people were not good at statistics.
36 A 該題問的是：當今人們面臨的一個大的問題是什麼?文章第～句就給出了答案，人們太忙了，不能被連續不斷的電話騷擾。要麼關閉手機。
38 D 本題題乾的意思是在Camegie Mellon大學的科學家試圖找出?答案在第三段最後一句，第四段第一句也給出了部分答案。
40 c 本題和倒數第二段第一句有關，說的是實驗中電腦比人表現得好，問原因是什麼?這段最後一句說了，people doing the interrupting are inevitably biased，即人有偏見，故c為答案。
