Throughout the ages people have tried to predict what life in the 21 century would be like. Many science fiction writers did manage to predict the influence the computer would have on our world. Some even imagine that it would take over our lives. One constant prediction was that, thanks to computers and machines, the time 6devoted to labour would disappear. In 1971, in his book Future Shock, Alvin Toffler noted that time at work had been cut in half since 1900s, but wrongly predicted that it would be cut in half again by 2000.However, our gadgetfilled homes do meet the various vision of the future: the microwave ovens, freezers, video monitors, dishwashers, washing machines, personal computers, and wireless connections. These may no longer be considered cuttingedge but they have matched visions of how we would live. The domestic robots never quite happened, but if you can phone ahead to set the heating, they may as well be redundant(多余的). The car, of course, has failed to live up to our expectations. It has been given turboengines, DVD players and automatic windows, but its tyres stick stubbornly to the road. Why doesn't it take off? The past promised us a flying car in various forms, yet none of those ideas has been transformed into a commercially available vehicle.At least communication technology in this digital age hasn't let us down. Even in the most distant areas people have access to some form of communication device. The introduction of the telephone last century changed our world, but today's mobile phones and the virtual world of the Internet have revolutionised it. 24.

What can we infer about the cars from the passage?A. There has been little improvement in the car industry.B. The cars nowadays are exactly the ones people wanted in the past.C. People created flying cars in various forms in the past. 7D. There are no flying cars purchasable yet. 26. Communication technology didn't let us down because _A. cheap communication devices are accessible to all peopleB. communication devices are available for people living in remote areas C. smart phones play an important role in domestic livesD. multifunctional phones today provide great entertainment27. What is probably the best title for the passage?A. What is technology like in the 21st century?B. Will flying cars be commercially available in the future?C. How does technology change our world?D. Does technology today meet predictions of the past? C CIf you are in Dubai you may notice a robot police officer sharing the street with you. Your first thought might be, “Have I walked into a movie set？”The answer is no. That robot is Dubai's newest police officer. The robot has a touch screen instead of a weapon.

But it can recognize faces and compare them to photographs on a criminal database. It can also sense emotions. People can use the robot's touch screen to do things like reporting a crime, paying fines and reporting lost or found things. They can also ask how to get somewhere. The 8robot can salute and shake hands with people. So far, the robot can speak Arabic and English. It soon will learn other languages such as Russian, Chinese, French and Spanish. In addition to having a touch screen, the robot has a camera that can livestream video to a police command center.Dubai has plans to add other kinds of robots to its police force. Within two years, the city plans to use a threemetertall robot that can run up to 80 kilometers an hour. The Dubai government says the machine would be the world's largest robot.

But they are also a global company with 2800 branches around the world and products in more than 120 countries.New Balance shoes come in a variety of widths, from extra narrow to extra wide. This is uncommon for athletic shoes and shows the idea of serving a wide range of everyday athletes. New Balance running shoes are built on two different models to fit different shapes of feet.
