The sentence “The Computers are very versatile.” means ______.

Which of the following statements is not true?

Passage 2Computers are very versatile. They can do many things such as teaching, playing games, or helping with a business, so choosing a computer is not an easy, simple job. But if you follow these steps, you will find it easier.First and foremost, decide on the main reasons why you want a computer. Is this computer very useful for you? Is it the most important reason to play games or to help with your business or to help with your schoolwork? Second, look carefully at the programs the computer can use. Some people also write their own programs. If you want to write your own, it is important to look at the computer language. Is it easy to learn?Third, decide the smallest, or the least needs you have for your computer. What are the characteristics you would like to have? For example, do you want a typewriter keyboard? Is a color display important to you? Your use of the computer will help you decide which characteristics are necessary, which are nice, and which are unnecessary.Fourth, when you have limited your choices to a few computers, look at the secondary uses and programs. For example, if your main reason for buying a home computer is to play games, you may take computer A instead of computer B because computer A can also be used as a word processor.Fifth, think of the price. There are prices to think about. The first price is the price you must pay to take the computer home. The second is the price of additional programs and possible additions that you might want to buy at a later date.Be sure to try out the computer before you buy it. Sales people at computer shops are happy to help you choose the computer that will best fit your needs and cost you least.

Passage 1A Nobel Prize is considered by most people one of the highest international honors a person can receive. As you know, the prizes were started by a Swede called Alfred Nobel. Alfred Nobel was born in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, and lived from 1833 to 1896.Alfred Nobel was a chemist and inventor. He made two important inventions, so he became very rich. Although he was rich, Nobel was not a happy man. He never married or had children. Also, he was a sick man a large part of his life. Nobel died at the age of sixty-three. When he died, he left a fund of $ 9,000,000. The money was to be used in giving prizes to those who made outstanding achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and the promotion of the world peace.The first Nobel’s Prizes were given on December 10, 1901, five years after Nobel’s death. Many famous people all over the world have been given Nobel Prizes for their achievements. Albert Einstein was one of them. Each prize has three parts. The first part is a gold medal. Second, a winner of a Nobel Prize is given a diploma saying that he has been given the prize. The third part of the prize is a large amount of money - about $ 40,000.Often a prize is given to just one person, but not always. Sometimes a prize is shared. It might be given to two or more people who have worked together. It is also sometimes true that a prize is not given at all if there is no outstanding achievement. In 1972, for example， not a Nobel Peace Prize was given. It is the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm that decides whether to give the prize or not.
