While the computer revolution is unlikely to cure these problems, it will have a positive impact.Sensors in your car tuned to radio signals from orbiting satellites can locate your car precisely at any moment and warn of traffic jams.We already have twenty-four Navstar satellites orbiting the earth, making up what is called the Global Positioning System. They make it possible to determine your location on the earth to within about a hundred feet.At any given time, there are several GPS satellites orbiting overhead at a distance of about 11,000 miles. Each satellite contains four atomic clocks, which vibrate at a precise frequency, according to the laws of the quantum theory. As a satellite passes overhead, it sends out a radio signal that can be detected by a receiver in a cars computer. The cars computer can then calculate how far the satellite is by measuring how long it took for the signal to arrive.Since the speed of light is well known, any delay in receiving the satellites signal can be converted into a distance. 開車最頭疼的兩大麻煩是迷路和交通堵塞。雖然計(jì)算機(jī)革命不可能徹底解決這兩個(gè)問題，但卻會(huì)帶來積極的影響。你汽車上與繞軌道運(yùn)行的衛(wèi)星發(fā)出的無線電信號(hào)調(diào)諧的傳感器能隨時(shí)精確地確定你汽車的方位，并告知交通阻塞情況。我們已經(jīng)有24顆環(huán)繞地球運(yùn)行的導(dǎo)航衛(wèi)星，組成了人們所說的全球衛(wèi)星定位系統(tǒng)。 通過這些衛(wèi)星我們有可能以小于100英尺的誤差確定你在地球上的方位。在任何一個(gè)特定時(shí)間，總有若干顆全球定位系統(tǒng)的衛(wèi)星在11000英里的高空繞地球運(yùn)行。每顆衛(wèi)星都裝有4個(gè)“原子鐘”，它們根據(jù)量子理論法則，以精確的頻率振動(dòng)。 衛(wèi)星從高空經(jīng)過時(shí)發(fā)出能被汽車上計(jì)算機(jī)里的接收器辨認(rèn)的無線電信號(hào)。汽車上的計(jì)算機(jī)就會(huì)根據(jù)信號(hào)傳來所花的時(shí)間計(jì)算出衛(wèi)星有多遠(yuǎn)。由于光速為人熟知，接收衛(wèi)星信號(hào)時(shí)的任何時(shí)間遲緩都能折算出距離的遠(yuǎn)近。Unit 3 Had he checked with his university to see if there were any graduates working at Mackay whom he could interview? Had he asked any friends to grill him in a mock interview? Did he go to the library to find newspaper clippings on us? Did he write a letter beforehand to tell us about himself, what he was doing to prepare for the interview and why hed be right for the job? Was he planning to follow up the interview with another letter indicating his eagerness to join us? Would the letter be in our hands within 24 hours of the meeting, possibly even hand-delivered? The answer to every question was the same: no. That left me with only one other question: How well prepared would this person be if he were to call on a prospective customer for us? I already knew the answer. 他可曾在就讀的大學(xué)里查問過有沒有校友在本公司就職，以便向他們了解一些情況?他可曾請(qǐng)朋友向他提問，對(duì)他進(jìn)行模擬面試？他可曾去圖書館查找過有關(guān)本公司的剪報(bào)？ 他事先有沒有寫封信來介紹自己，告訴我們自己為這次面試在做哪些準(zhǔn)備，自己何以能勝任此項(xiàng)工作？面試之后他是否打算再寫一封信，表明自己加盟本公司的誠意？這封信會(huì)不會(huì)在面試后的24小時(shí)之內(nèi)送到我們手上，也許甚至是親自送來？他對(duì)上述每一個(gè)問題的回答全都一樣：沒有。這樣我就只剩一個(gè)問題要問了：如果此人代表本公司去見可能成為我們客戶的人，他準(zhǔn)備工作會(huì)做得怎樣？答案不言自明。Unit 5I think the chief thing that struck me about Burton was his kindliness. There was something very pleasing in his mild blue eyes. His voice was gentle; you could not imagine that he could possibly raise it in anger; his smile was benign.Here was a man who attracted you because you felt in him a real love for his fellows.At the same time he liked his game of cards and his cocktail, he could tell with point a good and spicy story, and in his youth he had been something of an athlete. He was a rich man and he had made every penny himself. I suppose one thing that made you like him was that he was so small and frail; he aroused your instincts of protection. You felt that he could not bear to hurt a fly.我想，伯頓當(dāng)時(shí)給我印象最深的主要還是他這個(gè)人和善。他那雙溫和的藍(lán)眼睛有種令人愉快的神情。 他說話的聲音輕柔；你無法想象他會(huì)提高嗓門大發(fā)雷霆；他的笑容和藹可親。這個(gè)人吸引你，是因?yàn)槟銖乃砩细械剿麑?duì)別人的真正的愛。同時(shí)他也喜歡玩牌，喝雞尾酒，他能繪聲繪色地講個(gè)來勁兒的段子什么的，他年輕時(shí)多少還是個(gè)運(yùn)動(dòng)員呢。他是個(gè)闊佬，但他的每一個(gè)便士都是自己掙來的。我想，人們喜歡他還有一個(gè)原因，那就是他非常瘦小、脆弱，容易引起人們的惻隱之心。你覺得他甚至連只螞蟻都不忍傷害。Unit 6 A more successful remedy may lie in understanding the problem rather than evading it. Before the industrial revolution, people lived in small communities with limited communications. Within the confines of their village, they could reasonably expect to know everything that was to be known, see everything that was to be seen, and do everything that was to be done. Today, being curious by nature, we are still trying to do the same. But the global village is a world of limitless possibilities, and we can never achieve our aim. It is not more time we need: it is fewer desires. We need to switch off the cell-phone and leave the children to play by themselves. We need to buy less, read less and travel less. We need to set boundaries for ourselves, or be doomed to mounting despair. 更有效的解決方式或許在于去理解這一問題，而不是回避這一問題。 工業(yè)革命前，人們居住在交通聯(lián)系不方便的小社區(qū)里。在本村范圍內(nèi)，人們自然而然地期望了解該了解的一切，見到該見的一切，做該做的一切。 如今，生性好奇的我們?nèi)栽噲D這么做。然而，地球村是一個(gè)有著無限可能的世界，我們永遠(yuǎn)無法實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的目標(biāo)。我們需要的不是更多的時(shí)間：是更少的欲望。我們定要關(guān)掉手機(jī)，讓孩子們自己玩耍。我們定要少購物，少閱讀，少出游。我們定要在有所為、有所不為方面給自己設(shè)定界限，不然則注定會(huì)越來越感到絕望。Unit One1.多爾蒂先生和他的家人目前正在農(nóng)場忙于秋收。Mr. Doherty and his family are currently engaged in getting the autumn harvest in on the farm.2.我們不能低估敵人，他們裝備了最先進(jìn)的武器。We must not underestimate the enemy. They are equipped with the most sophisticated/advanced weapons.3.菲爾已三個(gè)月沒有找到工作了，正變得越來越絕望。Having been out of a job(unemployed)/Not having had a job for 3 months, Phil is getting increasingly desperate.4.作為項(xiàng)目經(jīng)理，山姆辦事果斷，工作效率高，且判斷準(zhǔn)確。Sam, as the project manager, is decisive, efficient, and accurate in his judgement(judgment也可）.5. 既然已證實(shí)這家化工廠是污染源，村委會(huì)決定將其關(guān)閉，為此損失了一百個(gè)工作崗位。Since the chemical plant was identified as the source of pollution(Now that the chemical factory is proved to be the pollution source), the village neighborhood committee decided to close it down at the cost of 100 jobs. UNIT 21.空氣中有一種不尋常的寂靜，只有遠(yuǎn)處響著大炮的聲音。There was an unusual quietness in the air, except for the sound of artillery in the distance. 2.在某些非洲國家城市的擴(kuò)展已引起生活水平相當(dāng)大的下降和社會(huì)問題的增多。The expansion of urban areas in some African countries has been causing a significant fall in living standards and an increase in social problem. 3.研究表明大氣中的二氧化碳的含量與全球溫度密切相關(guān)。3) The research shows that atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are closely correlated with global temperatures.4.最近公共汽車的車輛行駛頻率已有改善，從15分鐘縮短到12分鐘一班。The frequency of the bus service has been improved from 15 to 12 minutes recently. 5.那位跳水運(yùn)動(dòng)員立在跳水板邊沿，只等教練發(fā)出信號(hào)便會(huì)立刻跳下。The diver stood on the edge of the diving board, poised to jump at the signal from the coach. Unit Three1.盡管在此次緊急迫降中，飛機(jī)跑道不夠長，但經(jīng)驗(yàn)老到的飛行員還是讓飛機(jī)滑行了一段時(shí)間后就停了下來。Despite the inadequate length of the airstrip in this emergency landing, the veteran pilot managed to stop the plane after taxiing for only a short while. 2.在記者反復(fù)追問下，該影星終于說漏了嘴，承認(rèn)自己做過兩次整容手術(shù)。Grilled by the reporters, the movie star eventually blurted (out) that she had undergone two plastic surgeries. 3.我們有技術(shù)，我們的合伙人有資金。一起干，我們就掌握了未來。We have the technology and our partner has the capital. Working together, well have the future in our hands. 4.要是我事先知道你會(huì)帶這么多朋友回家，我會(huì)好好準(zhǔn)備的。你看，我現(xiàn)有的食品和飲料連小吃一頓都不大夠。If I had known beforehand that you would bring so many friends home, I would have made better preparations. You see, I have barely enough food and drinks for a snack.5.當(dāng)人們得知地震災(zāi)區(qū)將要建造結(jié)構(gòu)更牢固的新校舍時(shí)，紛紛慷慨解囊。People gave generously upon learning that new school rooms with stronger structures were to be built in the earthquake-stricken area. Unit Five1.我的直覺是亨利會(huì)設(shè)法參加這次探險(xiǎn)，因?yàn)樗幸稽c(diǎn)冒險(xiǎn)家的氣質(zhì)。I have an instinct that Henry will seek to join the expedition, because he is something of an adventurer.2.即使置身于一個(gè)嘈雜的環(huán)境中，他也能堅(jiān)持做手頭的工作。He is capable of sticking to the task at hand, even if he is exposed to noises.3.這個(gè)商標(biāo)是依據(jù)迄今有效的法律注冊(cè)的。The trademark was registered in accordance with the laws hitherto in force.4.奇怪的是，許多人自愿幫助組織會(huì)議，但是只有少數(shù)幾人到場Oddly enough, many people volunteered to help organize the meeting, but only a few turned up.5.老師那充滿關(guān)愛的話語，以及坦誠的評(píng)價(jià)改變了邁克對(duì)于社會(huì)和他自己的看法。The teachers
