have sliding glass doors on their patios,with steel bars elegantly built in so no one can pry the doors open.取而代之的是防盗锁、防护链、电子报警系统,以及连接警署或私人保安公司的报警装置。许多郊区家庭内制滑动玻璃门露台与优雅地铁质栅栏所以没人能把门撬开。5.It is not uncommon,in the most pleasant of homes,to see pasted on the windows small notices announcing that the premises are under surveillance by this security force or that guard company.它并不少见,在最舒适的房子,可以看到贴在窗户上的小告示:该房屋被监视安全部队或保护公司所监视。6.The lock is the new symbol of America.Indeed,a recent public-service advertisement by a large insurance company featured not charts showing how much at risk we are,but a picture of a childs bicycle with the now-usual padlock attached to it.锁是美国的新象征。的确,一家大保险公司最近的一则公益广告中没有图表显示有多少危险,但一张孩子的自行车挂锁的照片显示了它。A homesteader(自耕农)is a person who lives a self-reliant lifestyle with major emphasis on home production.While the Industrial Age is being replaced by information and electronics,some people try to seek an escape from the social,environmental,and economic madness of the modern age and begin to consider returning to the country.As this lifestyle is so enjoyable,satisfying and rewarding,more and more people are prepared to quit their job in the city and start a new and more meaningful life on their various farms.For some it has become not only a way of life,but a way of looking at the world.Of course,life in the country can be pretty tough.While it is an enjoyment to be so close to Nature,you may haveto reduce your dependence on fuels by cutting back on your daily consumption.You may also have to prepareyour own meals every day and provide your own low-cost entertainment without the luxuries that are common in cities.On balance,however,living in the country has long been a part of the American Dream.Generations of Americans have considered the country an ideal setting in which to live and raise a family.自耕农(自耕农)是一个人以主要强调家庭生产的自力更生的生活方式。然而工业时代正在被信息和电子产品所取代,有些人试图寻求逃避社会、环境和经济疯狂的现代,开始考虑回到乡下。这样的生活方式是如此令人愉快,令人满意的和有益的,越来越多的人准备辞掉他们在城市里的工作,在他们的各种农场开始一个新的和更有意义的生活。对某些人来说,这已成为不仅是一种生活方式,而是一种看待世界的方式。当然,生活在乡下会相当艰苦。同时也是一种享受接近大自然,你可能不得不通过减少你的日常消费来减少对燃料的依赖,。你也可以每天都要自己做饭,提供自己低成本的娱乐,没有城市中常见的奢侈品。总的来说,生活在乡下长期以来一直是美国梦的一部分。一代又一代的美国人认为乡下是一个理想的生活和抚养家庭的环境。Five years ago a female inmate(犯人)at Rikers Island told Jane Paley that she smelled wonderful.As president of Friendly Visitors,a 50-year-old organization whose mission is“acts of loving kindness thatdon t involve large sums of money or hours of work.”Paley frequently went to the New York Cityjail.That day,though,a spray of perfume went off in her hand.名师资料总结-精品资料欢迎下载-名师精心整理-第 1 页,共 13 页

figured out the perfect way to get the goods.They asked friends to collecthotel soaps,shampoos and lotions when they travel.V olunteers bundle them into goody bags and deliver them to Riler s several times a year,including Christmas and Mothers Day.“These mini-donations make the women feel beautiful,”says Paley.“You can see them turn themselves around a little bit.”So,Paley continues,“If youre lucky enough to afford a vacation,take the soap and shampoos.Bring them to homeless shelters battered women shelters or any organization in need.Its a small act that may mean a great deal.”五年前在瑞克岛上的女性犯人告诉 Jane Paley她闻起来很棒。作为总统的友好访客,一个 50 岁的组织,其使命是“爱的善举:不涉及大笔的钱或工作时间的仁慈的去爱”。佩利经常去纽约城监狱。虽然这一天,她的手喷了香水。她的小组长期捐钱以便在监狱的100 名妇女能够购买食物和零食。那为什么不给他们喜欢的化妆品呢?Paley 和她的组员35 名妇女,想到了拿化妆品的最佳方式。他们让朋友收集酒店的肥皂,洗发水和润肤露在旅行的时候。志愿者们捆绑将它们成礼品袋并且送到瑞克岛,一年好几次,包括圣诞节、母亲节。Paley 说:这些迷你捐赠让女人感到美丽,。你可以看到他们一点点的转变。所以,Paley 继续说,“如果你幸运的有足够的钱度假,带上肥皂和洗发水。把他们送到流浪者避难所、受虐妇女庇护所或者有需要的任何组织。这是一个小小的举动却意味着很多。”Even the automobile industry,which has remained largely unchanged for the last seventy years,is about to feel the effects of the computer revolution.2.The automobile industry ranks as among the most lucrative and powerful industries of the twentieth century.There are presently 500 million cars on earth,or one car for every ten people.Sales of the automobile industry stand at about a trillion dollars,making it the worlds biggest manufacturing industry.3.The car,and the roads it travels on,will be revolutionized in the twenty-first century.The key to tomorrows smart cars will be sensors.Well see vehicles and roads that see and hear and feel and smell and talk and act,predicts Bill Spreitzer,technical director of General Motors Corporations ITS program,which is designing the smart car and road of the future.即便是过去70 年间基本上没有多少变化的汽车工业,也将感受到计算机革命的影响。汽车工业是20 世纪最赚钱、最有影响力的产业之一。目前世界上有5 亿辆车,或者说每10 人就有 1 辆车。汽车工业的销售额达一万亿美元左右,从而成为世界上最大的制造业。汽车及其行驶的道路,将在21 世纪发生重大变革。未来“智能汽车”的关键在于传感器。“我们会见到能看、能听、有知觉、具嗅觉、会说话并能采取行动的车辆与道路,”正在设计未来智能汽车和智能道路的通用汽车公司ITS 项目的技术主任比尔斯普雷扎预言道。The growing importance of airpower in World War II,combined with its sensitivity to weather,led to an ever 名师资料总结-精品资料欢迎下载-名师精心整理-第 2 页,共 13 页 -资料收集于网络,如有侵权请联系网站删除word 可编辑greater military reliance on accurate forecasts.Knowing the weather was of vital concern to combat commanders of that war.As much an art as it is science,predicting the weather is dependent on the accurate tracking of weather phenomena,particularly storm fronts,from the areas where they originate.Though meteorologists(气象学家)of the 1940s had none of the weather tracking satellites which make that job so much simpler today,they were still able to generate usably accurate forecasts as much as 72 hours in advance-as long as they could get the data they needed.The need for that data gave birth to one of the most interesting and unique campaigns of the Second World War,the so-called“Weather War.”Although it was not a war of major commands and of troops,ships,or aircraft,it had an important impact on the fighting in the Atlantic and European Theatres.It was the weather data secured by this campaign which enabled the planning and execution of such critical operations as the Allied landings at Normandy and the entire strategic bombing campaign against Hitler s empire.The Weather War began with the German invasion of Denmark and Norway in April 1940.prior to that,those nations allowed their arctic weather stations to report the weather in the clear so all countries could use the information.Germany s occupation of much of Scandinavia gave Berlin a monopoly(垄断)over arctic weather data-a development the Allies could not allow.The British,in fact,began planning to seize the weather stations even as the campaign for Norway progressed.Of course,the Germans had plans for those same stations too,but Allied dominance over the sea,coupled with the unexpectedly high German naval losses in the Norwegian invasion,allowed Britain to score the first successes.But the weather itself proved the most serious obstacle to the start of the Weather War s operations,delaying the first moves until August.In fact,throughout the Weather War,both sides found the elements a more formidable(可怕的)foe than the enemy.在二战时逐渐增长的空中力量,加之它对天气的敏感,导致了军事更依赖精确预报。在那场战争中战斗指挥官了解天气是至关重要的。它是科学,更是一门艺术,预测天气是依赖于天气现象,特别是风暴方面从形成地开始的精确跟踪。虽然20 世纪 40 年代的气象学家没有如今便捷的跟踪天气的卫星,只要他们能得到需要的数据,他们仍然能够提前 72 小时给出有效准确的预测。对这些数据的需成为第二次世界大战中的最有趣,最独特的战役之一,即所谓的“天气战争。”虽然这不是军队,船舶,或飞机为主的战争,但它对在大西洋和欧洲战区产生重要影响。它是规划和执行的关键操作,例如,盟军诺曼底登陆和反对希特勒的帝国的整个战略轰炸所保证的天气数据。天气战争与1940 年 4 月德国入侵丹麦和挪威一同开始,在此之前,这些国家允许其北极气象站将清楚的预报提供给所有国家使用。德国对斯堪的纳维亚半岛的大面积占有,使得柏林在极寒天气数据垄断被盟军所不能容许。英国,其实,开始筹划抢占气象站正如挪威的进步运动。当然,德国人对这些气象站也有计划,但盟军具有海上优势,再加上入侵挪威时德国海军出乎意料的高损失,允许英国首先获得成功。但天气本身证明了最大的障碍天气战争的开始,将第一步推迟直到八月。事实上,在整个战争天气中,双方都发现自然比敌人更可怕。名师资料总结-精品资料欢迎下载-名师精心整理-第

Driver and Motor Trend.Every so often,one of those magazines would run an article on the Car of the Future.They featured unconventional styling and things like small nuclear reactors as power sources.Yet,frankly,my car doesnt do anything that my brothers Studebaker didnt do.It goes,it stops,it burns gasoline,it plays music.I still have to steer it,and it still runs into things if I dont steer it carefully.But guess what?All of these things are subject to change in the not-so-distant future.It will still go and stop,but it may not burn gasoline,I may not have to steer it,and it may be a lot better at not running into things.Airbags arent the be-all and end-all in safety.In fact,considering the recent news about people occasionally being killed by their airbags in low-speed collisions(碰撞),they obviously still need some development.But they arent going away,and in fact,you can expect to see cars appearing with additional,side-impact airbags,something some European car manufacturers already offer.Better than systems to minimize(使减少到最低限度)injury in the event of an accident,however,are systems that minimize the likelihood of an accident happening in the first place.Future cars may be able to eliminate many of the major causes of accidents,including drunk-driving,tailgating(与前车距离过近)and sleepiness.Cars could be equipped with sensors that can detect alcohol in a drivers system and prevent the car from being started,for example.Many accidents are caused by people following the car in front too closely.As early as next year,youll be able to buy cars with radar-equipped control systems.If the radar determines youre closing too quickly with the car in front,it will ease up on the throttle(油门).For city streets,expect other radar devices that will give advance warning that the car in front of you has slowed abruptly(突然地)and you should step on the brakes-or that may even brake for you.Will cars eventually be able to drive themselves?Theres no reason to think it wont be technically possible,and Mercedes is working on a system that can brake,accelerate and steer a vehicle down a highway on its own.Nobody really expects people to give up all control to their cars,but such systems could be used as failsafe systems to keep cars on the road and bring them safely to a stop even if the driver suddenly became disabled.像其他小男孩一样,我着迷于汽车,尤其是因为我的大哥是一个汽车人,杂志订阅酷的杂志“汽车和司机”和“汽车的趋势”。常常,那些杂志之一会发布文章关于“未来的汽车”。他们的特点是非常规样式和以小型核反应堆作为电源之类。然而,坦率地说,我的车和我哥哥的没什么不一样。它走,它停,它燃烧汽油,它播放音乐。我仍然需要驾驶它,它仍然会撞上东西如果我不小心引导它。但你猜怎么着?所有这些事情都将改变在不远的将来。它仍然会走和停,但它可能不是烧汽油,我可能不需要驾驶它,而且在不撞东西方面它可能会好很多。安全气囊在安全当中不是最要紧的也不是最终目标。事实上,考虑到最近的新闻关于人们偶尔在低速碰撞的时候被安全气囊杀死,它们显然还需要一些发展。但它们不会消失,事实上,你可以看到汽车带有额外的侧面安全气囊,一些欧洲汽车制造商已经提供了。比起让系统在事故中将伤害降到最低限度更好的是首先减少事故发生的可能性。未来的汽车可以消除许多事故的主要原因,包括酒后驾车、与前车距离过近和嗜睡。例如,汽车可以配备检测酒精的传感器在驾驶系统中,防止汽车启动。许多事故都是由于人们离前面的车太近。最早在明年,你将能够购买配备雷达控制系名师资料总结-精品资料欢迎下载-名师精心整理-第

可编辑统的汽车。如果雷达判定你与前面的车太近了,它将缓和油门。城市街道上,其他雷达设备将提前预警,你面前的汽车突然放缓,你应该踩刹车甚至替你刹车。汽车最终能自动驾驶?在技术上没有理由认为这是可行的,奔驰正在致力于一个系统可以沿着高速公路自动刹车加速和驾驶车辆。没有人真正希望人们完全不控制他们的汽车,但是这些系统可以作为失效保护系统,可以让汽车上路,让他们安全地停下即使司机突然没能力的时候。网上的题:1.Why

you want.Therefore,it is important to remember that your objective during the interview may differ from the objective of the potential employer.You want to make yourself stand out as a whole person who has personal strengths,is well qualified,and should be considered the right person for the job.It is encouraging to know that the interviewer s task is not to embarrass you or to trip you up,but to hire the right person for the job.Remember,job hunting is very competitive.Anything you can do to enhance your interview techniques will be to your advantage.The following suggestions may help you land the most important job.Your goal in this interview is to make sure your good points get across.The interviewer won t know them unless you point them out,so try to do this in a factual and sincere manner.Do not make slighting references to former employers or professors.If you have been fired from a job and the interviewer asks about it,be frank in your answer.Show the interviewer that you are interested in the company by asking relevant questions.Ask about responsibilities,working conditions,promotion opportunities and fringe benefits(附加福利)of the job you are interviewing for.If at some point you decide the interview is not going well,do not let your discouragement show.You have nothing to lose by continuing a show of confidence,and you may have much to gain.It may be real,or it may be a test to see how you react to adverse conditions.Some interviewers may bring up salary early in the interview.At this time,you may indicate that you are more interested in a job where you can prove yourself than a specific salary.This politely passes the question back to the interviewer.If the interviewer continues to press,give him a range or suggest the going rate for a particular job.If possible,you should negotiate for salary after you have been offered a job and when you are ready to complete the paperwork.面试是一种重要的事件在就业过程中,因为你花的这与面试官一起的20 或 30
