能看、能听、有知觉、具嗅觉、会说话的智能汽车？还能自动驾驶？这听起来或许像是在做梦，但计算机革命正致力于把这一切变为现实。
智能汽车1 Even the automobile industry, which has remained largely unchanged for the last seventy years, is about to feel the effects of the computer revolution.即便是过去70年间基本上没有多少变化的汽车工业，也将感受到计算机革命的影响。
2 The automobile industry ranks as among the most lucrative and powerful industries of the twentieth century. There are presently 500 million cars on earth, or one car for every ten people. Sales of the automobile industry stand at about a trillion dollars, making it the world's biggest manufacturing industry.汽车工业是20世纪最赚钱、最有影响力的产业之一。
目前世界上有5亿辆车，或者说每10人就有1辆车。
汽车工业的销售额达一万亿美元左右，从而成为世界上最大的制造业。
3 The car, and the roads it travels on, will be revolutionized in the twenty-first century. The key to tomorrow's "smart cars" will be sensors. "We'll see vehicles and roads that see and hear and feel and smell and talk and act," predicts Bill Spreitzer, technical director of General Motors Corporation's ITS program, which is designing the smart car and road of the future.汽车及其行驶的道路，将在21世纪发生重大变革。

大学英语教材unit2Unit 2: College LifeIntroduction:The focus of this unit is college life, which plays a significant role in shaping students' academic and personal growth. This article will discuss various aspects of college life, including academic pursuits, social activities, personal development, and future career prospects.1. Academic Pursuits:In college, academic pursuits are at the forefront of students' lives. The curriculum is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in their chosen field of study. Professors present engaging lectures, encourage critical thinking, and assign homework and projects to enhance students' understanding and practical skills. Additionally, students are exposed to various learning resources such as textbooks, online databases, and libraries to foster independent research and study.2. Classroom Dynamics:The classroom dynamics in college differ from those in high school. Students are encouraged to actively participate in discussions, ask questions, and express their opinions. This interactive learning environment promotes student engagement and enhances their understanding of the subject matter. It also allows them to develop important communication and presentation skills.3. Social Activities:Apart from their academic commitments, college students engage in various social activities. These activities create opportunities for students to form friendships, develop social networks, and experience personal growth. Student clubs, cultural events, sports teams, and volunteer activities are popular choices for students to actively participate in their college community.4. Personal Development:College life offers a platform for personal growth and self-discovery.

A Language Teacher's Personal Opinion 一名语言教师的个人看法Will Pidcroft 威尔·皮德克罗夫特Para.1 Every day I see advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses claiming that it is easy to learn English. According to these advertisements, with very little effort on the student's part, he will be able to speak the language fluently in three months or even ten days. There is often a reference to William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens to encourage him even more. When I see advertisements like this, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. If it were as easy to learn English as they say, I would have to look for another job, because very few qualified teachers would be needed. But a large number of people must believe these ridiculous claims, or else the advertisements would not appear.我每天都会在报纸上、公共汽车上看到各种广告，声称轻轻松松就能学好英语。
