E I’m more of a host than a guest. I like people to stay with me but do not care about staying with them, and usually say I am busy. I think the life without friends is regrettable; the life without quietness is terrible. The only people I ask to stay with me are those 1 like. But I am still more delighted when they go, and the house is ours again. I feel that I may be mistaken in these guests, and this may happen at times. They leave me more room in which to live properly. My mind, like my body, wears its old clothes again. I like to think about life in this world, and it is not easy to do this when talkative people are all over the place. With the guests about, I find myself a solid. I feel uneasy. Often I feel I have nothing meaningful to say. I try my best to think of something interesting and useful to devote them. But usually it seems that no one appreciate what I focus on. Many times I even got angry over what they said, which made them upset. Frankly speaking; I am not used to gathering together with friends chatting, although I’d like them to stay with me. Somehow I feel nervous with them. But as soon as they have gone, I release myself completely. I expand into a gas again. And a gas can have more delight than solid. So goodbye! Guests. It seems to the writer that the most enjoyable part of being a host is ______.
A. having a lot of friends with him
B. showing his guests to the door
C. the arrival of the guests
D. having meals with the friends he likes

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。A In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the earth’s postwar era, there was quite a wide-spread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction. Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong. Questioning and routine double-checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer may provide; it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills. What is the main purpose of this passage
A. To look back to the early days of this passage.
B. To explain what technical problems may occur with computers.
C. To discourage unnecessary investment in computers.
D. To warn against a mentally lazy attitude towards computers.
