【课⽂】 First listen and then answer the following question. 听录⾳，然后回答以下问题。
What does the computer industry thrive on apart from anarchy? Technology trends may push Silicon Valley back to the future. Carver Mead, a pioneer in integrated circuits and a professor of computer science at the California Institute of Technology, notes there are now work-stations that enable engineers to design, test and produce chips right on their desks, much the way an editor creates a newsletter on a Macintosh. As the time and cost of making a chip drop to a few days and a few hundred dollars, engineers may soon be free to let their imaginations soar without being penalized by expensive failures. Mead predicts that inventors will be able to perfect powerful customized chips over a weekend at the office -- spawning a new generation of garage start-ups and giving the U.S. a jump on its foreign rivals in getting new products to market fast. 'We've got more garages with smart people,' Mead observes. 'We really thrive on anarchy.' And on Asians. Already, orientals and Asian Americans constitute the majority of the engineering staffs at many Valley firms. And Chinese, Korean, Filipino and Indian engineers are graduating in droves from California's colleges. As the heads of next-generation start-ups, these Asian innovators can draw on customs and languages to forge tighter links with crucial Pacific Rim markets. For instance, Alex Au, a Stanford Ph.D. from Hong Kong, has set up a Taiwan factory to challenge Japan's near lock on the memory-chip market. India-born N.Damodar Reddy's tiny California company reopened an AT & T chip plant in Kansas City last spring with financing from the state of Missouri. Before it becomes a retirement village, Silicon Valley may prove a classroom for building a global business.

⽆忧考为您整理了“新概念英语第⼆册Lesson10~12课⽂注释”，希望可以帮助到您！新概念英语第⼆册Lesson10课⽂注释 1 we have an old musical instrument.我家有件古乐器。
instrument常⽤的意思是“器械”、“器具”，尤指医疗、机器等⽅⾯的。
但它可以⽤来泛指各种乐器。
2 It is called a clavichord。
被称做古钢琴。
call在这⾥的意思是“把……称为”、“称呼”，既可⽤于主动语态，也可⽤于被动语态: What do you call this? 你们把这称为什么? They call him big Tom. 他们叫他“⼤个⼦汤姆”。
3 It has belonged to our family for a long time.我们家有这件乐器已经很久了。
belong为不及物动词，因此不能⽤于被动语态。
另外，它是⼀个表⽰状态的动词，⽽不是⾏为动词，所以它也不能⽤于进⾏时。
它最常⽤的时态是⼀般现在时和⼀般过去时: This farm belong to me and it belonged to my father before me. 这个农场现在属于我;在此之前它属于我⽗亲。
4 She struck the keys too hard and two of the strings were broken. 她在击琴键时⽤⼒过猛，损坏了两根琴弦。
并列连词and在这⾥的意义相当于so，表⽰后⼀句是前⼀句的结果。
再如: He fell heavily and broke his arm. 他摔得很重，⼿臂都摔断了。
