The Future of Technology

William, a businessman, arrives in a foreign airport. He doesn’t show his passport. Instead, a machine in the wall reads the computer chip（芯片）in his arm. This contains information about him: his name, age, and I.D number. He exits the airport, and a car door opens when it “sees” him. The car takes him to his hotel. His room “knows” he has entered the building and it “reads” his body. He is cold, so the room becomes warmer. William then watches a business presentation on a video wall. When he takes a bath, the presentation “follows him and continues ”on the bathroom wall. Finally, the room plays music to help him sleep. It turns off the music when it “sees” him sleeping.

William doesn’t exist, and none of this is real. But it might be soon. “In five to ten years, computing and communications are going to be free and everywhere, in your walls, in your car, on your body,” says Victor Zue, leader of Project Oxygen.

Project Oxygen has one big idea: to create better relationships between machines and people. The dream is that computer will learn to understand what people want.

So, what changes will there be at work? Firstly, the building will know where everyone is, all the time. You want to talk to someone? Type the person’s name on the nearest computer. It will show you a map of the building and exactly where this person is. You then call this person, who picks up the nearest telephone, also shown on the computer. If he or she is busy with a client（客户）or in a meeting, the computer will tell you.

Is all this really possible? Visit the Siebel Center, Illinois and see for yourself: computers in the doors and walls, cameras everywhere, the technology of the future, but here today.

1.William doesn’t show his passport because ________.

A. his information can be read by a machine

B. he doesn’t need a passport in that airport

C. he is not required to show his passport

D. only a man from foreign country needs to show his passport

2.The computer chip in William’s arm contains his information except ________.

A. his name B. his age

C. his job D. his I.D. number

3.The dream of Project Oxygen is that computers will ________.

A. show you where the person is you are calling

B. let you pick up the nearest telephone

C. show you a map of every building

D. learn to understand what people want

4.In the Siebel Center, Illinois, ________.

A. computers are everywhere

B. the technology of the future is there today

C. there are cameras in the doors and walls

D. the future technology will be there in 5-10 years

Philo Farnsworth is not a name most people know. But his work changed the way we learn, the way we live, and even the way we think. Philo Farnsworth is responsible for one of the 20th century: television.

Philo Farnsworth was born in America in 1906. He was interested in science and technology at an early age. When he was twelve years old, he built an electric motor for his family’s washing machine. When he was fourteen, he was already giving a lot of thought to electrons（电子）. As he was driving the family’s horse-drawn plowing machine, he noticed the evenly spaced rows of the potato fields. This sight gave him the idea that electrons could scan（扫描） an image one row at a time—an idea that was the key to electronic television.

By the time he was twenty-one years old, Farnsworth had started his own company and had managed to build the world’s first electronic television. It was a very simple device（设备）. But after years of hard work, Farnsworth was able to introduce the kind of television we now use.

Farnsworth was a great inventor, but lived an unhappy life. He had a legal battle with the company, Radio Corporation of America (RCA) over who the real inventor of the TV was. He won the case, but the government stopped companies from making TVs during the war, so Farnsworth didn’t make much money from the invention.

When Farnsworth was young, he imagined television as a convenient way for distant audiences to enjoy lectures by famous professors, or entertainment by the best symphonies（交响乐） and ballets. When he was older, television became much more popular, but he was very disappointed in the silly programs on TV. He even told his own son, “There’s nothing on it worthwhile, and we’re not going to watch it in this household.”

1.What can we learn about Philo Farnsworth?

A. He had a strong physical advantage.

B. He had strong powers of observation.

C. He had a strong interest in journalism.

D. He had a strong sense of responsibility.

2.The underlined sentence showed Farnsworth was legally recognized as ________.

A. the real founder of RCA

B. the real inventor of the TV

C. the greatest inventor of his time

D. the organizer of the battle with RCA

3.The last paragraph mainly tells us that Farnsworth ________.

A. didn’t like to watch TV programs

B. couldn’t afford to buy a TV set

C. couldn’t listen to famous lectures

D. didn’t like what television became

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. How did Philo Farnsworth invent television?

B. What caused Philo Farnsworth to invent television?

C. Philo Farnsworth: the unhappy father of television

D. Philo Farnsworth: a well-known scientist and inventor

New Zealand will create one of the largest marine protected areas in the world, spanning an area of 620,000 sq km.

The Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary (保护区) will be one of the world’s most significant fully protected ecosystems, the prime minister of New Zealand, John Key, told the UN General Assembly in New York.

The sanctuary is in the South Pacific Ocean, about 1,000 km north-east of New Zealand, and expands a marine reserve that surrounds some small islands. The area is considered important in terms of biodiversity, featuring nearly 35 species of whales and dolphins, 150 types of fish and three of the world’s seven sea turtle species. It is also geologically significant, including the world’s longest chain of underwater volcanoes and the second deepest ocean trench, into 10 km underwater — deeper than Mount Everest’s height. The scale of the sanctuary will dwarf (矮化) any previous New Zealand’s protected area, spanning twice the size of the country’s mainland. It will cover 15% of New Zealand’s economic zone.

Commercial and recreational fishing will be completely banned, as will oil, gas and mineral prospecting (勘探), exploration and mining. Key’s government aims to pass legislation establishing the sanctuary next year.

"The sanctuary is a world-class, unspoiled marine environment and New Zealand is proud to protect it for future generations,"Key said."New Zealanders value our coasts and oceans, which are an important part of our culture, economy and environment and we are committed to managing them sustainably. Creating protected areas will support not only our own fisheries, but those of our Pacific neighbors, adding to New Zealand’s efforts to help grow Pacific economies through the responsible management of their ocean resources."

Nick Smith, New Zealand’s environment minister, said the sanctuary might impose a cost upon the mining industry but that it is important to protect the ocean before exploration takes place."New Zealand needs to use its vast ocean resources for jobs and exports in industries like fishing, aquaculture, minerals and energy, but we also need to set aside special areas where nature comes first and marine life is fully protected," Smith said.

New Zealand will monitor the area via its navy and satellite technology. The Kermadec region will join three other key areas in the Pacific protected by the US, the UK and Australia.

Matt Rand, director of the Pew Charitable Trusts’ Global Ocean Legacy (遗产) campaign, welcomed Key’s announcement."New Zealand will create the gold standard of conservation areas in the sanctuary, preserving one of the few relatively unspoiled areas of ocean on Earth," he said. "This commitment is an exciting step toward meeting global goals to safeguard at least 30% of the ocean through fully protected marine reserves."

1.Why is the Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary important in biodiversity?

A.It has a superior geographical location.

B.It has many different kinds of sea animals.

C.Its environment is suitable for the growth of marine life.

D.It is the only unspoiled area of ocean remained on Earth.

2.Which of the following will Key probably agree on?

A.People are allowed to fish for fun in the sanctuary.

B.All Pacific countries should be responsible for ocean resources.

C.New Zealanders attach great importance to protecting the sanctuary.

D.New Zealand has made great achievement in creating protected areas.

3.What can we infer from what Nick Smith said?

A.New Zealand should develop its marine industry in special areas.

B.The Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary may affect New Zealand’s mining industry.

C.New Zealand hasn’t figured out how to make full use of its ocean resources.

D.Measures should be taken immediately to protect the ocean after explorations.

I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg last night, a distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I was clinching (紧握）my fists with impatience.

At one point along an open highway, I came to a crossroads with the traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I approached the light, it turned red and I braked to stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.

I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being arrested，because there were obviously no police around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.

Much later that night, the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it's part of an agreement we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it's an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we don't go through red lights.

It's amazing that we ever trust each other to do the right thing, isn't it? And we do, too. Trust is our first tendency. We have to make a deliberate decision to mistrust someone or to be suspicious or skeptical. Those attitudes don't come naturally to us.

It's a very good thing too，because the whole structure of our society depends on mutual trust, not distrust. This whole thing around us would fall apart if we didn't trust each other most of the time. We do what we say we'll do; we show up when we say we'11 show up;we deliver when we say we'll deliver;and we pay when we say we'11 pay. We trust each other in these matters, and when we don't do what we've promised, it's far from the normal. It happens often that we don't act in good faith and in a trustworthy manner, but we still consider it unusual, and we're angry or disappointed with those badly-behaved people. Anyway I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.

2.The author stopped at the traffic light because ________.

A. there were passers-by crossing the road

A. The social system would be thrown into disorder.

B. All the things would run normally.

C. The social traditions would be abandoned.

D. Strict rules and laws would be made.

4.What is the theme of the passage?

A. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.

B. Mutual Trust is the best policy.

C. Actions speak louder than words.

D. Among the blind the one-eyed is the king.

Valerie Jarrett, 58, is serving as a top adviser to President Obama and has been close to the first family since the early 1990s. Joe Heim from WashingtonPost had an interview with her.

Joe Heim: What do you think of a reporter who interviews you for 25 minutes, then later finds out his recorder stopped working and asks you to do the interview again?

Valerie Jarrett: That he's human. You could have just tried to pretend that it didn't happen.

Joe Heim: You're considered the president's closest adviser. Have you ever given him bad advice since he became president?

Valerie Jarrett: I'm sure that I have. I think one of the reasons why the president's management style is very effective is because all of his advisers feel very comfortable being open about their advice. Finally, there's only one decision-maker. And that's the president.

Joe Heim: What misunderstandings are there of you?

Valerie Jarrett: A little-known fact is that I started my life very shy and remained very shy well into adulthood. Painfully shy, I would call it. And I often share this, particularly with young people, because it's something I really had to work hard to overcome. And for all the shy people out there I say, you, too, can overcome it. But it took a lot of hard work on my part, and I discovered along the way that just because you're nervous and you have butterflies in your stomach doesn't mean that it has to show. My point in sharing it with you is that part of life is pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone (舒适区). And if you're going to grow, you have to learn how to take on new challenges that you might not be good at.

Joe Heim: Will you stay until the end of his term?

Valerie Jarrett: I serve at the pleasure of the president. If he wants me to stay, I will.

1.From the underlined words “That he's human”, we can learn Valerie Jarrett is _____.

A. warm-hearted B. broad-minded

C. well-educated D. strong-willed

2.Why does Valerie Jarrett share her shyness?

A. To show her hard way to success.

B. To prove shy people can also be great.

C. To show it is easy to overcome shyness.

D. To ask people to face challenges bravely.

3.In which part of a newspaper could we find this text?

A. People. B. Society. C. World. D. Culture.

In the early 1980s, one of our neighbors asked my mom if she would make a few gift baskets for her to give as gifts for the holidays. My mom agreed and news of the unique gift baskets my mum was making spread like wildfire throughout the neighborhood. My mum was busy throughout the holiday season, so she asked a friend to help her. When the orders continued after the holiday season for baby gifts, birthday gifts and more, it occurred to them that maybe this job could be turned into a business and they did it.

My mum went into her business because she had a creative idea. She got orders and filled orders. But there was no purpose and no real strategy(策略). In 1991, my mum' s partner got into financial trouble and there was not enough money to support either my mum or her partner.

So if you are led by your creativity or enthusiasm, make sure you ask yourself what you want out of your business. If you don't set goals, how will you know what direction to go in? Do you want to create jobs and growth in the economy? Are you looking for a hobby? You can't keep scores if you don' t know what game you are playing.

After my mom's partner gave up, she had to abandon(抛弃) her business to support herself. She swore（发誓）she would run a business again and do it differently the next time. However, there wasn't a "next time" for her. She passed away just after her 51st birthday. She never had someone tell her how important having a goal was. She never had an opportunity to be everything that she could be.

There are no right or wrong goals, only the ones that matter to you. Set them so that you can make progress and achieve success, whatever that may mean to you.

1.The author's mum started her own business after she ________.

A. got continuous orders with her friend

B. cooperated with one of her neighbors

C. advertised her products in the neighborhood

D. designed unique gift baskets for the holidays

2.Which of the following can best describe the author' s mum?

A. Ambitious.B. Imaginative.C. Poor.D. Innocent(天真的).

3.After the author' s mum failed in her business, she _________.

A. hoped to restart it after her 51st birthday

B. wanted to find a different partner

C. reflected on her failure

D. didn' t work any more

4.The author writes the text to stress the importance of _________.

A. creativityB. opportunitiesC. goalsD. partners
