10、ng car! Not all past predictions (预言) have been proven wrong.A few of them have been surprisingly accurate.Some great thinkers predicted the arrival of the credit card, the fax machine and even the Internet years before they happened.But for each prediction that has come true, some others have misse

11、d by a mile.Many of these predictions didnt consider how people would want to use the technology or whether people really needed these high-tech (高科技的) things in their lives or not.Lets look at some predictions from the not-Too-distant past. Robot helpers Wheres the robot in my kitchen？Nowhere, of c

12、ourse.And hes probably not coming anytime soon.Robots do exist today, but mostly in factories and other working environments. Back in the 1950s, however, people said that by now personal robots would be in most peoples homes. So why hasnt it happened ？ Maybe because robots are still too expensive an

13、d clumsy ( 笨 拙的)And probably the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too strange.At home we seem to be doing fine without them. Telephones of tomorrow In 1964 an American company introduced the video telephone.They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video p

14、hone in their homes.But of course the idea hasnt caught_on yet. Why ？ The technology worked fine, but it overlooked something obvious ： people desire for privacy.Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just stepped out of the shower？Probably not it could be uncomfort

15、able！Just because technology doesnt always mean people will want to use it. And finally, how about that crazy prediction of the flying car？Its not so crazy any more！But a flying car remains one of the most wonderful technology ideas to catch our imagination.Keep watching the news or perhaps the sky

16、outside your window to see what the future will bring. 21According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? ATechnology doesnt always mean people want to use it. BPredictions dont need to consider peoples practical use of the technology. CMany of the hightech things people thou

17、ght wed be using by now simply never appeared. DHigh-tech things are not always convenient to peoples life. 22The underlined phrase “caught on” in Paragraph 6 probably means “_” Abecame popular Bbecame enjoyable Ccame into sight Dcame to life 23What does the author think of the flying car? AIt is to

18、o difficult to imagine. BIt is too crazy to realise. CIt is likely to appear in the future. DIt has been the focus of the news. 24The passage mainly deals with _.

19、 is in wide use BThe media provides us with the observations and experiences from which we build up our personal understanding of the world and how it works.Much of our view of reality is based on media messages.The media, to a great extent, gives us our sense of reality. Freedom of the media carrie

20、s with it certain responsibilities of honesty, fairness, accuracy and accountability.The power of the media to create and destroy human values comes with great responsibility. The media is powerful in the political system, having great influence on politics and on forming social change.The power is

21、to decide who will communicate what to whom.Television can greatly influence the election of a national leader on the basis of his or her image. Professional journalists do have a code of ethics (道德标准)Journalists make a judgment about whats safe and appropriate to report, which often involves diffic

22、ult choices.German sociologist Max Weber distinguishes between “ethics of conviction” and “ethics of responsibility”According to the latter (ethics of responsibility), journalists must take into account the foreseeable consequences of their reporting, and the impact it will have on society.The forme

23、r, on the other hand, asks journalists to tell the truth, regardless of the consequences.According to Weber, both ideas of ethics should be considered. Without doubt, information is power, and the big owners of the mass media are very powerful people.Television and radio stations, newspapers, magazi

24、nes, and websites are, largely, owned and controlled by profit-making businesses.It is not strange that their ideas will get promoted at times. It is my view that such power and responsibility should never be left in the hands of a few.I believe it is our responsibility as concerned citizens to make

50、 tell 48 “I cannot dance” or “Im not good at math”? These are _49_ of self-limiting beliefs. You must realize youre _50_ for them.
