22、in France in 1642. Although I was young I could simplify difficult sums. I developed very slowly and it took nearly two hundred years before I was built as an analytical machine by Charles Babbage. After I was programmed by an operator who used cards with holes, I could "think" logically a

23、nd produce an answer quicker than any person. At that time it was considered a technological revolution and the start of my "artificial intelligence". In 1936 my real father, Alan Turing, wrote a book about how I could be made to work as a "universal machine" to solve any difficu

24、lt mathematical problem. From then on, I grew rapidly both in size and in brainpower. By the 1940s I had grown as large as a room, and I wondered if I would grow any larger. However, this reality also worried my designers. As time went by, I was made smaller. First as a PC (personal computer) and th

25、en as a laptop, I have been used in offices and homes since the 1970s.    These changes only became possible as my memory improved. First it was stored in tubes, then on transistors and later on very small chips. As a result I totally changed my shape. As I have grown older I hav

26、e also grown smaller. Over time my memory has developed so much that, like an elephant, I never forget anything I have been told! And my memory became so large that even I couldn't believe it! But I was always so lonely standing there by myself, until in the early 1960s they gave me a family con

27、nected by a network. I was able to share my knowledge with others through the World Wide Web.     Since the 1970s many new applications have been found for me. I have become very important in communication, finance and trade. I have also been put into robots and used to make mobi

28、le phones as well as help with medical operations. I have even been put into space rockets and sent to explore the Moon and Mars. Anyhow, my goal is to provide humans with a life of high quality. I am now truly filled with happiness that I am a devoted friend and helper of the human race!我是谁长期以来,我已经

29、改变很多。我刚开始的时候只是一个机器在法国1642年的计算。虽然我年轻的时候,我能够简化困难的总结。我养成了非常缓慢,它花了近两百年以前,我建造机器,作为一种分析查尔斯?巴贝奇。我由操作员可使用卡片上,我可以“思考”的答案,并且产生一个合乎逻辑的速度比任何人。那时,人们认为技术革命,开始准备我的“人工智能”。1936年我真正的父亲,艾伦?图灵,写了一本关于我怎么能够正常运做“通用机器”来解决任何困难的数学问题。从那以后,我保持快速增长无论大小和智力。在1940年代我成长一样大的房间,我怀疑是否能有更大的增长。然而,这个实相也担心我的设计师。随着时间的推移,我叫小。首先作为一个PC(个人电脑),

30、然后又成为了一名笔记本电脑,我被使用在20世纪70年代以来,办公室和家庭。这些变化是有可能的,因为我的记忆中提高。首先是储存在管,然后在晶体管和后来非常小的芯片。结果完全改变了我的形状。随着我的年龄增长我也变得渺小。随着时间的推移,我的记忆中进展得如此之多,就像大象,我永远都不会忘记告诉我该做的事情!和我的记忆变得如此大,即使我真不敢相信!不过我还是太孤独了站在那里我自己,直到20世纪60年代初他们给了我一个家庭网络连接。我能分享我的知识与另一些是通过万维网上。20世纪70年代以来,许多新的应用了我。我成了非常重要的通信、金融和贸易。我也被推到机器人和用于制造手机以及帮助与医疗操作。我也被向太

31、空发射火箭和派去探索月球和火星。总之,我的目标是给人类提供了高质量的生活。我现在真正充满幸福的,我是一个忠实的朋友和帮手人类!Unit4HOW  DAISY  LEARNED  TO HELP  WLDLIFE      Daisy had always longed to help endangered species of wildlife. One day she woke up and found a flying carpet by her bed. "Where do yo

32、u want to go?" it asked. Daisy responded immediately. "I'd like to see some endangered wildlife," she said. "Please take me to a distant land where I can find the animal that gave fur to make this sweater." At once the carpet flew away and took her to Tibet. There Daisy

33、saw an antelope looking sad. It said, "We're being killed for the wool beneath our stomachs. Our fur is being used to make sweaters for people like you. As a result, we are now an endangered species." At that Daisy cried, "I'm sorry I didn't know that. I wonder what is bei

34、ng done to help you. Flying carpet, please show me a place where there's some wildlife protection."    The flying carpet travelled so fast that next minute they were in Zimbabwe. Daisy turned around and found that she was being watched by an elephant. "Have you come to t

35、ake my photo?" it asked.In relief Daisy burst into laughter. "Don't laugh,"said the elephant, "We used to be an endangered species. Farmers hunted us without mercy. They said we destroyed their farms, and money from tourists only went to the large tour companies.So the govern

36、ment decided to help. They allowed tourists to hunt only a certain number of animals if they paid the farmers. Now the farmers are happy and our numbers are increasing. So good things are being done here to save local wildlife."    Daisy smiled. "That's good news. It sho

37、ws the importance of wildlife protection, but I'd like to help as the WWF suggests." The carpet rose again and almost at once they were in a thick rainforest. A monkey watched them as it rubbed itself. "What are you doing?" asked Daisy. ” Im protecting myself from mosquitoes,"

38、; it replied. "When I find a millipede insect, I rub it over my body. It contains a powerful drug which affects mosquitoes. You should pay more attention to the rainforest where I live and appreciate how the animals live together. No rainforest, no animals, no drugs."    Dai

39、sy was amazed. "Flying carpet, please take me home so I can tell WWF and we can begin producing this new drug. Monkey, please come and help." The monkey agreed. The carpet flew home. As they landed, things began to disappear. Two minutes later everything had gone - the monkey, too. So Dais

40、y was not able to make her new drug. But what an experience! She had learned so much! And there was always WWF .戴西学会了如何帮助野生动植物戴西一直渴望帮助种濒临绝种的野生动物。有一天,她醒来时,发现一飞行的地毯上被她的床上,“你想去哪里?”这问。戴西回答。“我想立刻喜欢看一些濒危野生动物。”她说。“请载我到遥远的地方我在哪里可以找到动物让皮毛上,让这件毛衣。“在一旦地毯飞走,并带她到西藏去。戴西有看到羚羊面带愁容。它说,“我们被杀死在我们独羊毛胃。我们的毛皮是被用于制造件毛衣像你这

44、u sing karaoke and pretend you are a famous singer like Song Zuying or Liu Huan? To be honest, a lot of people attach great importance to becoming rich and famous. But just how do people form a band?    Many musicians meet and form a band because they like to write and play their own

45、music. They may start as a group of high-school students, for whom practicing their music in someone's house is the first step to fame. Sometimes they may play to passers-by in the street or subway so that they can earn some extra money for themselves or to pay for their instruments. Later they

46、may give performances in pubs or clubs, for which they are paid in cash. Of course they hope to make records in a studio and sell millions of copies to become millionaires!    However, there was one band that started in a different way. It was called the Monkees and began as a TV show

47、. The musicians were to play jokes on each other as well as play music, most of which was based loosely on the Beatles. The TV organizers had planned to find four musicians who could act as well as sing. They put an advertisement in a newspaper looking for rock musicians, but they could only find one who was good enough. They had to use actors for the other three members of the band.     As some of these actors could not sing well enough, they had to rely on ot
