★nanotechnology/?n?n??tek'n?l?d?i/ n.納米技術

2045年的生活是什么樣？1歡迎來到未來的生活！當你早上起來，照著鏡子，由于最近做了新的抗衰項目，所以自己看起來只有30歲一樣。許多和你年齡相仿的人現(xiàn)在可以活到120歲，所以你60歲一點也不算老。2科學發(fā)展使得人們找到了保持健康的神奇方法。納米技術可以治療許多疾病，甚至可以治愈癌癥。如果你身體上有任何一個部分出現(xiàn)問題，你可以在實驗室里重新“長”一個。TextA3Whenyougetdressedinthemorning,youmaysoonchooseyourclothesbasedonwhattheycandoratherthanhowtheylook.“smartclothes”ofthefuturewillturnenergyfromthesunintoelectricity.Thispowercouldbeusedtochargeyourphoneorcomputer.Someclothescouldevenbeprogrammed3toheatuportochangecolor.Yousaytoyourshirt,“Turnred.”Anditbecomesred.In2045,“smartclothes”containnanoparticles4

★monitor /'m?n?t?(r)/v.監(jiān)視；檢查；跟蹤調查

3當你早上穿衣服的時候，你可能很快通過功能選擇衣物而不是搭配。未來的“智能衣物”可以把太陽能轉化為電能，可以用來給手機或電腦充電。有些衣服甚至可以通過程序設置進行加熱或變色。你對你的襯衫說“變紅”，它就可以變成紅色。到2045年，“智能衣物”將含有攜帶電的納米顆粒。目前，智能衣物能夠監(jiān)測穿戴者的心率。TextA4Onthewaytothekitchen,youwanttocallafriend.Yourcellphoneisbythewindowbecauseitgetsitsenergyfromthesun.Butyoudon’tneedtopickupthephone.Youcanjusttouchyourjacketsleevetomakethecall.5Thenitisbreakfasttime.Youreachformilk,butavoicesays,“Don’tdrinkthat!”Yourfridgeknowsthemilkisnotfresh,andtellsthesupermarkettoreplace6

4在去廚房的路上，你想給朋友打電話。而你的手機在窗邊，正在通過光照充電。這時，你不需要走過去拿起手機打電話，而是摸一下外套的袖子就可以撥通。5然后到了早餐時間。你伸手去拿牛奶的時候，會有個聲音響起:“不要喝那個!”你的冰箱可以識別到牛奶不新鮮，然后向超市同步，十分鐘后，新鮮牛奶就會由一架無人機送到。TextA6Asyouleaveforwork,thelightsturnoffbythemselves.Yourhomegoesinto“sleep”mode8

★driverless/d'ra?v?rles/adj.無人駕駛的

6當你去上班時，燈會自動熄滅。你的家會自動進入“睡眠”模式以節(jié)省能源。在2045年，汽車可以自行進行自動駕駛，所以你只需要告訴你的車你想去哪里，就可以上路了。7這一切都能實現(xiàn)嗎？也許未來比我們想象的要近得多。TextANewWords1.anti-aging /'?nt?'e?d???/ adj.抗衰老的2.nanotechnology /?n?n??tek'n?l?d?i/ n.納米技術3.program /'pr??gr?m/ v.編寫程序4.nanoparticle /'n?n??pɑ?t?kl/ n.納米顆粒；毫微粒5.monitor /'m?n?t?(r)/ v.監(jiān)視；檢查；跟蹤調查6.replace /r?'ple?s/ v.更換；替換7.drone /dr??n/ n.無人機8.mode /m??d/ n.模式9.driverless /d'ra?v?rles/ adj.無人駕駛的★e.g.Mathsoftwareisusedtoformuladerivationbyprogramming.數學軟件通過編程序進行公式推導.e.g.Thecourtswereaskedtoadoptamoreflexibleapproachtoyoungoffenders.

科技的影響已經到來1從可以從口袋里掏出來的定制電腦到自動駕駛汽車，這一切都因為科技發(fā)展而觸手可及。技術已經進入到我們生活的許多領域，幫助我們獲得更多信息，優(yōu)化交流方式，改變交通方式等等。得到放松很簡單，我們可以輕易的在這些科技進步中獲益，但是我們依然需要保持警醒，意識到這些技術對社會產生的影響。2也許我們還沒制造出會飛的汽車，人工智能還沒有接管整個世界，但技術仍然在影響著整個社會。TextB3Howoftenwhenyouseeabeautifulsunsetdoyoutakeoutyourphoneandsnap7

3當你看到美麗的日落時，你會拿出手機拍幾張照片嗎？有了手機之后，尤其是智能手機，人們就不再活在當下了。當看到我們喜歡或想要記住的東西時，我們會把自己從那一刻抽離，拍下照片并與朋友分享。慢慢地，我們活進了在千百個別人的特殊時刻里面，而不是我們自己的。像這樣的小型技術入侵進我們的生活并不會導致人類滅亡，但這些侵入我們生活的技術正在一點點改變這個社會。TextB4Manypeoplewonderabouthowsocietyandtechnologywillmesh10

4許多人想知道社會和技術是如何進行融合的，尤其是考慮到孩子的時候，這種擔憂更為突出。孩子們在很小的時候就可以看到各種屏幕，在筆記本電腦、電視和其他設備前消耗時間。這改變了孩子們的社交方式?，F(xiàn)在的孩子們可以在網上給朋友發(fā)短信交流，而不是去親自敲門。研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，孩子們花在屏幕前的時間比以往任何時候都多，這有可能會影響了他們的同理心和識別他人情緒的能力。TextB5Technologycanmakeourliveseasier,butwitheachbenefitcomesapotentialcost.Wecanstilladvancetechnologicallywithoutimpactingsocietytooimmensely22byunderstandingthesecostsandminimizing23

5科技可以讓我們的生活更輕松，但科技帶來的每一份好處，都伴隨著潛在的成本。通過了解這些成本并將其最小化，我們仍然可以在技術上取得進步，而不會對社會產生太大的影響。在正確使用科技產品和知道何時應該關掉科技產品之間需要找到平衡。然而，找到這種平衡關鍵在于人，并最終影響到我們的后代所生存的社會上。NewWords1.personalized /'p??s?n?la?zd/ adj.個性化的；個人化的2.pocket /'p?k?t/ n.口袋；衣袋；兜3.fingertip /'f??g?t?p/ n.指尖4.accessible /?k'ses?bl/ adj.可使用的；容易理解的5.advancement /?d'vɑ?nsm?nt/ n.發(fā)展；前進；促進6.blind /bla?nd/ adj.（對某事）視而不見的；未察覺的7.snap /sn?p/ v.拍照；攝影8.invasion /?n've??n/ n.入侵；侵犯9.encroachment /?n'kr??t?m?nt/ n.侵入；侵犯；侵蝕10.mesh /me?/ v.（使）相匹配；相互協(xié)調；吻合11.amplify /'?mpl?fa?/ v.放大；增強12.expose /?k'sp??z/ v.使接觸；暴露★e.g.Createapersonalizedcalendardecoratedwithyourownartorphotos.
