Should we be worried about such developments? I think we should. One concern is that facebook, Google and other social media websites see journalism as a sideline, a way of putting people in front of advertisements. It isn’t their primary function — so if it stops making them lots of money, they're likely to stop doing it.

　　There’s also a concern that computer-written articles are not actually journalism at all, because what a human news team produces is actually quite complex. A well-written news story puts information in context, offers a voice to each side of an argument and brings the public new knowledge.

　　Though economics and speed of delivery mean readers will probably choose a computer-written story over a carefully shaped article — at least for daily news — I don't think the computers will be writing any in-depth articles for a while yet.

　　28. What is the main purpose of the article?

　　A. To report on a new computer service offered by Facebook..

　　B. To advise readers against reading computer-written news.

　　C. To express concern about recent trends in online news.

　　D. To describe the process of online news reporting.

　　29. Computer-written news reports have so far focused on sports and finance because ________.

　　A. these are the most popular topics for online readers

　　B. there are fewer journalists specializing in these areas
