{{B}}第一篇{{/B}}

{{B}}? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Looking to the Future—2040{{/B}}
? ?Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room? In 2040 it will not matter. They will turn themselves off—and on again when you return. You will choose the temperature for each room, the lighting and the humidity. A sensor will detect the presence of a human (and, with luck, ignore the dog!) and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.
? ?The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you. They will detect faulty electrical appliances, plugs or switches, isolate them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the fire brigade. It will also call the police should the sensors detect an intruder. This will not be difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic. You will open them using your personal card—the one you use for shopping—maybe using a number known only to you.
? ?It will be impossible to lose the key, and a housebreaker will have to tamper (拨弄) with the lock or with a window. It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer.
? ?The computer will be more than a fireman—policeman—servant. It will be an entertainer, and most of your entertainment will come right into your home. It does now, of course, but by 2040 “entertainment” will mean much more. For one thing, you will be able to take part actively, rather than just watching
According to the author, in 2040, new technology______.

A:will free us from the keys we use today B:will turn everything into sensors C:will make the locks out of date D:will eliminate all crimes

How Ford Turn Out Cars

When it comes to singling out those who have made a difference in all our lives,you cannot overlook Henry Ford. A historian a century from now might well conclude that it was Ford who most influenced all manufacturing, everywhere, even to this day, by introducing a new way to make cars--one, strange to say, that originated in slaughterhouses.
Back in the early 1900’s,slaughterhouses used what could have been called a "disassembly line. "Ford reversed this process to see if it would speed up production of a part of an automobile engine called a magneto. Rather than have each worker completely assemble a magneto, one of its elements was placed on a conveyer, and each worker, as it passed, added another component to it, the same one each time. Professor David of the University of Delaware, an expert on industrial development ,tells what happened:
"The previous day,workers carrying out the entire process had averaged one assembly every 20 minutes. But on that day,on the line,the assembly team averaged one every 13 minutes and 10 seconds per person. "
Within a year,the time had been reduced to five minutes. In 1913,Ford went all the way. Hooked together by ropes, partially assembled vehicles were towed past workers who completed them on piece at a time. It wasn’t long before Ford was turning out several hundred thousand cars a year,a remarkable achievement then. And so efficient and economical was this new system that he cup the price of his cars in half,to $ 260,putting them within reach of all those who, up until that time, could not afford them. Soon, auto makers the world over copied him. In fact, he encouraged them to do so by writing a book about all of his innovations, entitled Today and Tomorrow. The Age of the Automobile has arrived. Today, aided by robots and other forms of automation,everything from toasters to perfumes are made on assembly lines.
It didn’t take long for Henry Ford______

A:to turn out a few hundred cars a year B:to turn out a few thousand cars a year C:to reduce the price of his cars to $ 260 D:to cut the production of his cars by 50%
