SMART HOMES TO MAKE LIFE EASIER
Have you ever forgotten to lock the door of your house? Or, have you ever forgotten to switch off① the TV or computer? These kinds of things happen to us all the time, waste resources, and can sometimes lead to② problems. However, in the not-too-distant③ future, we will be living in smart homes that will lock the door for us when we are away and remember to switch off the TV when we forget. These smart homes will keep us secure④, save us energy, and provide a more comfortable environment to live in.

原文
Intelligent Controls
Today, we have to use switches for our lights, knobs⑤ for our appliances⑥, and remote⑦ controls for our TVs and air conditioners⑧. In the future, we will be using advanced technology⑨ every day for automatic⑩control of just about everything in our home. The future home will use integrated⑪ sensors⑫ to tell when you leave home each morning, and then go into an energyefficient⑬ mode⑭ all by itself. You will no longer have to think about turning switches on and off yourself.Your home will also learn

原文
your daily routine⑮ and preferences⑯, so everything will be ready for you when you get home each evening. Your lights will come on the instant⑰ you enter the door along with⑱ your favourite music or TV programmes, and you will find your dinner already prepared for you. All controls will respond to voice commands⑲, so if you want to change your routine, you just say aloud what you want and the home system will obey⑳.

原文
Regular Health Checks
In addition㉑, your smart home will be monitoring your health for you every day. Your bed, for example, will record how well you sleep every night. It will also be checking your body weight. If you start to have sleep or weight problems, it will send a warning㉒to your phone. It will also give you suggestions on a healthier diet and how to sleep better. Smart toilets will be keeping constant㉓ track of your health as well. They can warn you early on㉔ if there is something abnormal㉕or if you have a critical㉖ illness, such as cancer㉗, and potentially㉘ save your life.
Ⅳ.课文理解关
原文
No More Disasters
Smart homes will be able to prevent serious damage from accidents. For example, if a water pipe starts leaking㉙, or if there is a short in the electrical㉚ wiring㉛, your smart home will detect㉜it and provide you with the relevant㉝ information. This way, you will be able to fix the problem before your home becomes flooded or catches fire㉞.

This smart technology is not a fantasy㉟. Many of these new innovations㊱ are already available㊲ and being used in some homes. In this sense㊳, the home of tomorrow is already the home of today. Nevertheless㊴, it will take some years before most new homes begin to use this new technology.

译文
智能家居让生活更轻松
你曾忘记锁门吗?或者,你曾经忘记关电视或电脑吗?这种事情经常发生在我们身上,浪费资源,有时还会导致问题产生。然而,在不远的将来,我们将生活在智能家中,当我们外出时,智能家居会为我们锁门;当我们忘记关电视时,智能家居会记得关掉它。这些智能家居将保障我们的安全,为我们节省能源,并提供一个更舒适的居住环境。
Ⅳ.课文理解关
译文
智能控制
今天,我们必须使用电灯的开关,电器的旋钮,电视和空调的遥控器。在未来,我们每天都会使用先进的技术对家中几乎所有东西进行自动化控制。未来的家将使用集成传感器来判断你每天早上什么时候离开家,然后自己进入节能模式。你将不再需要考虑自己打开和关闭开关。你的家也会了解你的日常习惯和偏好,所以当你每天晚上回家时,一切都会为你准备好。你一进家门,灯就会亮起,还有你最喜欢的音乐或电视节目(会自动播放),并且你会发现晚餐已为你准备好了。所有的控制(操纵装置)都会响应语音指令,因此如果你想改变你的习惯,你只要大声说出你想要什么,家庭系统就会服从。
Ⅳ.课文理解关
译文
定期健康检查
此外,你的智能家每天都会监测你的健康状况。例如:你的床会记录你每晚的睡眠质量。它也会检查你的体重。如果你开始有睡眠或体重问题,它会向你的手机发送警告。它还会为你提供更健康的饮食和如何睡得更好的建议。智能马桶也会持续记录你的健康状况。如果有什么不正常的情况,或者你有严重的疾病,比如癌症,它们可以提前警告你,并可能挽救你的生命。
Ⅳ.课文理解关
译文
没有更多的灾难
智能家将能够防止事故造成的严重损害。例如,如果水管漏水或发生电线短路,你的智能家居将会探测出来,并给你提供相关的信息。这样,你就能在房子被淹或着火之前解决这个问题。
这种智能技术不是幻想。许多这样的新发明已经可用并正在一些家庭中使用。从这种意义上来讲,明天的家已经是今天的家了。然而,要让大多数新家庭开始使用这项新技术还需要几年的时间。
