A．the thief knew the mobile phone number soon afterwards B．the thief lost his luck before long C．the thief forgot the mobile phone number a moment later D．someone dialed the mobile phone number at that time C How might you drag a good writer’s work down to the level of a scribe ? Try the spell-check button . A study at the University of Pittsburgh indicates spell-check soft-ware may level the playing field between people with differing levels of language skills , hampering the work of writers and editors who place too much trust in the software . In the study , 33 undergraduate students were asked to proofreada one-page business letter-half of them using Microsoft Word with red and green lines underlining potential errors. The other half did it the old-fashioned way , using only their heads . Without grammar or spelling software , students with higher SAT scores made , on average , 5 errors , compared with 12.3 errors for students with lower scores . Using the software , students with higher scores reading the same page made , on average , 16 errors , compared with 17 errors for students with lower scores . Dennis Galletta , a professor of information systems at the Katz Business School , said spell-check software is so sophisticated that some have come to trust it too thoroughly . “It’s not a software problem , it’s a behavior problem, he said . Microsoft technical specialist Tim Pash said grammar and spelling technology is meant to help writers and editors , not solve all their problems . The study found the software helped students find and correct errors in the letter , but in some cases they also changed phrases or sentences marked by the software as grammatically suspicious , even though they were correct . 【查看更多】
