Section Ⅳ　Reading for Writing, Assessing Your Progress&Video Time SHOULD WE FIGHT NEW TECHNOLOGY? This morning, I saw the shocking headline: “Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mode”. In the article, various people said that the public should oppose the idea of developing driverless cars. They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous. Hence, we should cease accepting technology just because it is new. The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologised for the accident, but the families of the deceased said it was not enough. Nevertheless, the company still claimed that most people would be travelling in driverless cars one day soon. On the one hand, there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily in the absence of new technology. Probably the most well known are the Amish, a group of Christians living in rural America.　 [1] They do not own or drive cars, watch TV, or use the Internet. They have lived mainly as farmers since the 18th century, and they will probably be living the same way in the distant future. They advocate a simple life with an emphasis on hard work, family, and community. They think that is better than caring about luxuries or following the lives of the rich and famous. It could even be argued that the Amish's quality of life is better since they live in and appreciate the natural environment rather than living in large, polluted cities.　[2] [1]本句是表语提前引起的倒装结构：a group of Christians living in rural America 作the Amish 的同位语，其中现在分词短语living in rural America作后置定语，修饰a group of Christians。 [2]It could even be argued that...表示“甚至可以说……”，It 是形式主语，that 引导的从句是真正的主语。that引导的从句中又包含一个since引导的原因状语从句。 On the other hand, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years. For example, the latest weather­tracking computer programmes give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters, which saves many lives. Moreover, the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world.　[3]It has also made finding opportunities in life much easier, as it allows people to make larger networks of friends through using social media.　 [4] Personally, I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances. I found my career as an AI designer through a social media network. My health monitor, which I wear all the time, has also helped me get into the best shape of my life. Of course, when new technology changes the way we live, it can be a scary prospect. Nevertheless, I will always look on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it. [3]主句是一个主从复合句，其中even if 引导让步状语从句。主句中的it是形式宾语，真正的宾语是不定式短语to keep in touch easily, 介词for引出动词不定式的逻辑主语。 [4]本句是一个主从复合句，其中as 引导原因状语从句。made finding opportunities in life much easier 属于“make ＋宾语＋宾补”结构，宾语为finding opportunities in life, 宾补为much easier。 我们应该反对新科技吗？ 今天早晨，我看到了一个令人震惊的(报道)标题：“无人驾驶模式出车祸造成乘客死亡”。在这篇报道中，很多人说公众应该反对研制无人驾驶汽车的想法。他们说一些科技进步是没必要的，甚至可能是危险的。因此，我们不应该仅仅因为科技是新的就接受它。该报报道说，汽车公司已经就这起事故道歉，但死者家属说这还不够。尽管如此，该公司仍然声称，不久的一天，大多数人将乘坐无人驾驶汽车出行。 一方面，世界上有许多不同的群体在没有新科技的情况下幸福地生活。最为人所熟知的也许是阿米什人， 他们是一群生活在美国农村的基督教徒。他们没有汽车也不驾驶汽车，不看电视也不使用互联网。18世纪以来，他们主要从事农业生产，并且在遥远的将来，他们可能会以同样的方式生活。他们提倡简单的生活，着重努力工作、家庭和团体。他们认为这比关注奢侈品或追随富人和名人的生活要好。甚至可以说，阿米什人的生活质量更好，因为他们生活在自然环境中，欣赏自然环境，而不是生活在被污染的大城市。 另一方面， 多年来新科技为(世界)各地的人们提供了许多好处。例如，最新的气象追踪计算机程序向人们发出了许多潜在自然灾害的警告，从而拯救了许多生命。此外，即使身处世界的两端，互联网使(我们同)朋友和家人能很容易地保持联系。它也使(人们)更容易在生活中寻找机会，因为它使人们通过使用社交媒体结交更多的朋友。 就我个人而言，科技进步使我受益匪浅。我通过社交媒体网络找到了我的人工智能设计师的职业。我一直戴着的健康监护仪也帮助我的身体处于最佳状态。当然，当新科技改变我们的生活方式时，这可能是一个可怕的前景。尽管如此，我总会看到变化积极的一面，接受它而不是抵制它。 [重点单词] 1．　artificial　 adj.人工的；人造的；假的 2．　forecast　 vi.& n. 预测；预报 3．　cease　 vt. & vi.
