Unit 2 Looking into the future
语境记单词
I have to persuade myself to use these words and phrases to describe
my daily routine in the future.If I forget to switch off my electrical
appliances like my air conditioners and I’m in a distant place ，
my integrated sensors in my smart home system will do it for me instead
of remote controls
and automatic knobs. These sensors are very efficient and give instant
commands. The home system will obey and give constant warnings until
the appliances enter the safety mode. This will keep my home secure. In
addition ， my smart home can warn me early on if there is something
abnormal
or if I have a critical illness,such as cancer,and potentially save my life. If
the electrical wire starts leaking electricity,my smart home will detect it and
provide me with the relevant information. In this sense,I will fix the problem
before my home catches fire. Nevertheless,this smart technology is not
a fantasy. Many of these innovations are already available and being used in
some homes.
我必须说服自己用这些单词和短语来描述我未来的日常生活。如果我忘记
关掉我的电器比如空调，而且我在很远的地方，我的智能家居系统中的集成传
感器会帮我做这件事，而不用遥控器和自动旋钮。这些传感器非常高效，可以
发出即时指令。家居系统将服从并持续发出警告，直到电器进入安全模式。这
将确保我家的安全。此外，要是有异常情况，或者我患有癌症等严重疾病，我
的智能家居能够在初期便提醒我，并有可能挽救我的生命。如果电线开始漏电，
我的智能家居会检测到并向我提供相关信息。从这个意义上说，我会在我的房
子着火之前解决这个问题。然而，这种智能技术并非空想。许多这样的新发明
已经可用，而且一些家庭正在使用。
Artificial intelligence can be used to guard against potential crimes and gain a
sense of security.For example,the librarian advocates combining monitors into
the structure of the library building. Hence,no one is opposed to this suggestion.
They are a necessity，but not a luxury. Now let’s change the subject，and talk
about our future occupations and careers. We should learn to predict or
make a prediction about the future,because we can’t resist the development of
society. So we must keep in touch with the latest technology,and place emphasis on
these new technologies,such as cloning ， nanobots and satellite
weather forecast. Each of us is required to write an essay with several paragraphs to
give an accurate description of our future careers. I think
the prospect of rural development is very attractive. There can’t be
an absence of rural talents. My preference is farming. Even if I encounter
resistance,I will never cease to go and work there.
人工智能可以用来防范潜在的犯罪并获得安全感。例如，图书馆馆长倡导
将监控器安装到图书馆建筑的结构中。因此，没有人反对这个建议。它们是必
需品，而不是奢侈品。现在让我们换个话题，谈谈我们未来的职业和事业吧。
我们应当学会预料或对未来做出预测，因为我们无法抗拒社会的发展。因此，
资料整理【淘宝店铺：向阳百分百】我们必须了解最新的科技，并把重点放在这些新技术上，比如克隆技术，纳米
机器人和卫星天气预报等。我们每个人都被要求写一篇文章，用几段话来准确
描述我们未来的职业。我认为农村的发展前景非常诱人。农村人才不能缺位。
我的爱好是务农，即使我遇到 阻力，我也不会停止去那里工作。
美文诵读
Dear Future Me,
Happy 30th birthday! It’s me, your 20-year-old self. Do you still remember
the day when you wrote this e-mail?
The other day, Rachel was having her 30th birthday, and she was stressed
out thinking that she had achieved nothing. It reminded me that I should make
resolutions about what I want to achieve before my 30th.
This idea got me to consider my future. Before, my life was marked with the
only theme — college. Now, looking ahead, there will be people I have to get
along with though I may hate them, and things I have to deal with which I used
to regard as worthless. The way to get through is not cold war or stubbornness
(固执) but compromise and communication.
What I am going to face is a society, not a locked classroom. So what are
you doing? Do you still lock yourself up when you have trouble with people
around?
I know I am shy and only focus my attention on study. But I sincerely hope
that you are not like me, a mind easily affected by the outside world. After
years of experience, hopefully you have risen out of that small world and hold a
place of your own.
However, there are also things that I don’t want you to change. Are you
still the guy who believes in his judgment and has faith in life? Remember: try
to find something cheerful in spite of difficulties.
I hope you are the way I want to be. But no matter what you are doing or
what your life is like, I’ll always encourage you. Just be happy and healthy.
That’s all I asked for.
Yours,
Present Me

话题写作
I often imagine what my life will be like in the future. I think my life will
be very different in ten years. I will be twenty-eight years old by then. I will
have my own family, probably with a lovely child. I hope I will work in a
computer company as a program designer. I’ll enjoy my work and get along
well with my colleagues. I’ll do a good job in whatever I do. In my free time,
I’ll continue to take regular exercise, such as swimming, running and various
ball games. On my holiday, I’ll travel around the world. In a word, my life will
be much richer and more colorful.
