语篇填空
A smart home is one that 1.integrates (integrate) computers into the structure of the building 2.itself (it).In this way,many of the things that we now do ourselves will become automatic.For example,the smart home could control the air conditioning and lights so that you would no longer have to switch 3.on and off,4.making (make) your home more energy-efficient.Your home will also learn your daily routine and preferences,so everything will be ready for you when you get home each evening.All controls will respond to voice 5.commands (command),so if you want to change your routine,you just say aloud what you want and the home system will obey.
The smart home could also monitor itself to make sure that everything is working as it should,and send you a 6.warning (warn) if there is a problem.Such smart homes could even 7.be programmed (programme) to detect your health problems,and then give you relevant advice as to the food you should eat 8.or if you should see a doctor.So,in 9.a sense,smart homes will lead us to 10.living (live) smarter lives.
