(某事）發(fā)生在某人身上

在不久的將來智能家居讓生活更輕松你曾經(jīng)有沒有忘記過鎖門?或者，你曾經(jīng)忘記關(guān)掉電視或電腦嗎？這種事情經(jīng)常發(fā)生在我們身上，這會浪費資源，有時還會導(dǎo)致問題。然而，在不遠的將來，我們將生活在智能住宅中。當我們外出時，智能家居會為我們鎖門；當我們忘記關(guān)電視時，智能家居會記得關(guān)掉它。這些智能家居將保證我們的安全，為我們節(jié)省能源，并提供一個更舒適的居住環(huán)境。IntelligentControlsToday,wehavetouseswitchesfor

智能控制今天，我們必須使用電燈的開關(guān)，電器的旋鈕，電視和空調(diào)的遙控器。在未來，我們每天都會使用先進技術(shù)對家中幾乎所有東西進行自動化控制。未來的家庭將使用集成的傳感器來告訴你每天早上什么時候離開家，然后自己進入節(jié)能模式。你將不再需要考慮自己打開和關(guān)閉開關(guān)。你的家也會了解你的日常習慣和偏好，所以當你每天晚上回家時，一切都會為你準備好。你一進家門，燈就會亮起，還有你最喜歡的音樂或電視節(jié)目(會自動播放)，而且你會發(fā)現(xiàn)晚餐已為你準備好了。所有的控制都會響應(yīng)語音指令，所以如果你想改變你的日常行程，你只要大聲說出你想要什么，家庭系統(tǒng)就會服從。RegularHealthChecksInaddition,yoursmarthomewillbemonitoring

盡管如此；不過；然而沒有更多的災(zāi)難智能家居將能夠防止事故造成的嚴重損害。例如，如果水管漏水或發(fā)生電線短路，你的智能家居將會探測出來，并給你提供相關(guān)的信息。這樣，你就能在房子被水淹或著火之前解決這個問題。這種智能技術(shù)不是幻想。許多這樣的新發(fā)明已經(jīng)可以使用，并在一些家庭中使用。從這種意義上來講，明天的家已經(jīng)是今天的家了。然而，要讓大多數(shù)新家庭開始使用這項新技術(shù)還需要幾年的時間。Post-readingWatchavideoandexperiencethedisadvantagesofsmarthomes.Let’streatsmarthomesrationally.Completethesummaryusingthecorrectformsofthewordsfromthetext.Asmarthomeisonethat___________computersintothestructureofthebuildingitself.Inthisway,manyofthethingsthatwenowdoourselveswillbecome___________.Forexample,thesmarthomecouldcontroltheairconditioningandlightssothatyouwouldnolongerhavetoturn_________onandoff,makingyourhomemoreenergy-_________.Thesmarthomecouldalso________itselftomakesurethateverythingisworkingasitshould,andsendyou________ifthereisaproblem.Suchsmarthomescouldevenbeprogra
