D选项未提及。

本句话出现在第二段的第五句话中，如果每个银行将选择自助服务系统，客户会怎样？

结合下文给的例证可知，结果是银行只能提供客户人工操作的选择，故可推断如果客户只能选择自助服务系统，一旦它出现故障，客户即使离开银行也将无法表达对银行服务的愤怒。

故答案为B。

B.Linguaphonewillgivefreecoursestosecondlanguagelearners

C.secondlanguagelearnersaretoattendcoursesatLinguaphoneLanguageCentre

D.secondlanguagelearnerscanteachthemselvesbyusingLinguaphonematerials

答案解析：

答案为D。

本题为细节推理题。

由第二段“Linguaphonewillprovideyouwitheverythingyouneedtolearnatyourownpace,whereandwhenyouchoose.And,althoughyouaren’tinaclassroom,youcertainlywon’tbeleftallalone.”可知，Linguaphone课程可以让学习者根据自己的节奏、时间和地点学习，哪怕不是在教室，也不会是独自一人。

故可以推断该课程可以让学习者自学，并不是到Linguaphone课程中心去学习。

故C错误，D正确。

尽管第一段最后一句话“Studyaslittleashalfanhouradayandintwelveweeksyoucouldbetalkingconfidentlyinthelanguageofyourchoice.”提到，该课程让学习者12周内可以自信地讲学习的语言，但这毕竟是做广告，广告词不免有夸大的成分，可见A并不能作为合理的推断。

广告以销售产品为目的，不会免费。

故答案B错误。
