2.Work in groups to discuss and finish the exercise
- Question:Do you think there are both advantages
- and disadvantage of new technology?
- Should we fight new technology?
- Robots will be doing most of our jobs, from building homes to teaching students. They can clean floors and pump gas. In the future they will be more complex and useful. Unfortunately,with robots taking all the jobs, unemployment will be high.
- Mind-reading technology will allow us to send thoughts to each other without speaking a word. We will also be able to send thoughts to objects around us.(instead of pressing “start” on the microwave, you could just think “start”.)Meanwhile, chips implanted(植入)in our brains will improve memory and intelligence.
- Future cars will drive themselves. These electric cars will communicate with other cars on the road to travel safely in close formation at high speeds. So one hundred years from now, accidents will be a thing of the past.

- 3) Why did the author decide to write about the topic?

- in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world.
- 句中的made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily属于“动词+it+ adj./n.(宾语补足语)+to do/that从句”结构。该结构中,it做形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的不定式, 动名词或that从句。常用于此结构中的动词除了make还有think, find, consider, feel, hate等。
- 2. Nevertheless, I will always look on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it.
- 句中的rather than连接了两个并列的动宾结构accept it和 resist it。rather than做连接词,一般连接两个并列的成分,如名词、代词、形容词、介宾短语、不定式等,但要注意rather than 连接两个名词或代词做主语时,谓语动词应与rather than 前面的名词或代词在人称和数上保持一致。
