Will the computer replace the human being? It seems likely that computer programs will reproduce more clever programs, such programs will assist, rather than replace, humans. Reasoning assistants will enable human minds to turn to deeper and far more complex ideas, which will be partially prepared and then checked for reasoning flaws by a reasoning program. Many errors will be avoided.

Can computer reason? Reasoning requires the individual to take a given set of facts and draw correct conclusions. Unfortunately, errors frequently occur. Now, or at least soon, computers will be able to do logical reasoning in a variety of areas without making errors. The key to avoiding errors is to use a computer program that relies on the recent research in this field. AURA (Automated Reasoning Assistant) is the program that is the best example of this use of the computer.
AURA solves a program by drawing conclusions from a given set of facts about the problem. The program reaches logical conclusions perfectly as it uses various types of reasoning and solves almost all problems by using advanced techniques to find a contradiction(矛盾)．
One generally starts with a set of assumptions and adds a statement that the goal is unreachable. For example, if the problem is to test safety system that automatically(自动地)
shuts down a nuclear reactor when instruments indicate a problem, AURA is told that the system will not shut the reactor down under those circumstances. If AURA finds a contradiction between the statement and the system's design
assumptions, then this aspect of the reactor's design has been proved satisfactory.
This strategy lets AURA concentrate on the problem at hand and avoid many fruitless steps.
The chief use for AURA at this time is for electronic circuit(电路) design check, but a number of other uses will arise. For example, there already exist “expert systems” that are special purpose programs designed to automate reasoning in a specific area such as medical diagnosis. These expert systems continue to improve and have an endless life.
Moreover, they can be reproduced just for pennies. A human who can expertly predict where to drill for oil is in great demand. A program that can predict equally well would be invaluable and could be reproduced any number of times.
The reason＋forsth. doing sth.＋is/was that... ＋why...＋is/was that... ＋that/which＋定语从句＋is/was that... The reason for the party is that it's Rita's birthday. 这次聚会是为了庆祝丽塔的生日。 The reason which he explained to us is that he hadn't read it before. 他给我们解释的理由是他之前没有读过。
(2)That's because...表示“那是因为……”，because引导表语从句，that是不确指的代词，指上文中出现的某件事情。 (3)That's why...表示“那就是做……的原因”，why引导表语从句。 [解题警示] the reason后是用why, that还是which，取决于其在从句中充当的句子成分，从句缺少主语、宾语、表语时用that/which，缺少状语时用why。
[考试题] ②(江南十校测试)My consideration is ________ the financial crisis(危机) in the USA will heavily influence China. A．which
B．if C．what
D．why 答案与解析：D why引导表语从句且在从句中表示原因，作状语。A、C两项引导名词性从句时需在其中作成分，if与语义不符。 随 堂 检 测 Ⅰ.单词拼写 1．The book in the library are c__________ according to subjects. 2．Mr. White s_____________ to People magazine every year.
