Using Language
PART 01
Listening and speaking
Look at the pictures and discuss the questions in pairs.
1. What jobs are these robots doing What are the pros and cons of robots doing these jobs
2. What kinds of robots or AI developments do you hope for
1
① serving in a restaurant
② playing the piano
③ playing musical instruments
④ playing ball
⑤ working in a factory
Warming Up
Can robots really replace the people who do these jobs Why
What AI developments do you expect Why
1. What jobs are these robots doing What are the pros and cons of robots doing these jobs
Left: Two robots are serving food at a café; Pros: May be cheaper and faster; Cons: Communications difficulties; No human touch.
Top centre: A robot is playing the piano; pros: The robot can play anything perfectly; Cons: No creativity or emotion involved.
Bottom centre: A robotic arm works at a factory; Pros: Simple, repetitive tasks are done at higher speeds more cheaply and accurately; Cons: Humans end up out of work; No added skill or creativity.
Top rigt: A robot band is performing; Pros: More live music will be available more cheaply; Playlists will be limitless; Cons: It really isn’t live music; it is more like listening to a record, without any of the excitement and emotion of watching humans perform.
Bottom right: Several robots are playing soccer; Pros: Promotes learning and enjoyment of AI and robotics to a wider audience; Cons: the robot players don’t even know they are in a contest and have no desire to win or lose, so there is no emotional content to the match; no physical skill or talent is involved either.
2. What kinds of robots or AI developments do you hope for
I hope for an educating robot because I can ask any questions when I have troubles in learning.
Listen to an interview and put these statements in the correct order.

PART 02
Reading and Writing
Can you name some films about time travelling
Terminator终结者
Hi ,Mom你好，李焕英
Lead-in
If you could take a time travel like Jia ling , which time would you like to go Who would you like to meet
The film Hi,Mom is about a daughter who went back to the 1980s and met her mother ,who had died in an accident.
Background Knowledge
The Time Machine
The film, The Time Machine was adapted from a novel of the same name, written by H. G. Wells.
Reading
H.G. Wells
(1866–1946)
Well’s contribution was the idea that all of the details in the story should be as closely grounded in reality as possible, with the exception of one element which was fantastical. By having everything else grounded in reality, audiences are more willing to accept the fantastical element as true.
H.G. Wells (1866-1946) is — along with Jules Verne — most often credited with being the inventor of the science fiction genre. He was born in Kent, England.

1. How does the Time Traveller first know he has travelled through time
He saw the clock indicate a time in the future.
[1]It was at ten o'clock today that the first of all Time Machines began its career.I gave it a last check, and sat myself in the leather seat. I pushed the starting lever on the main panel forwards an inch then immediately backwards again.Looking around, I saw my laboratory exactly as before.Had anything happened I thought my mind had tricked me.Then I saw the clock.A moment before, it was a minute or so past ten; now it was nearly half past three!
[2]I drew a breath, gripped the lever and pushed it forwards. The laboratory went hazy around me.My niece came in to fetch something, maybe her handkerchief, apparently without seeing me. It probably took her a minute, but to me she moved like a rocket! I pushed the lever further.Night came as if a lamp was being turned out, and in another moment came the day.Tomorrow night came, then skipped to day, again and again, faster and faster still.
2. How does the Time Traveller feel when travelling through time What rhetorical devices does the writer use to describe his feelings.
It felt strange and unpleasant. The writer uses all kinds of rhetorical devices, such as simile and overstatement.
[3]It is hard to explain the strange and unpleasant feeling of time travelling.It felt like I was being driven fast on a winding road.As my pace grew faster, the walls of the laboratory fell away, and I was left in the open air.The sun and moon looked as if they were being thrown across the sky, but soon there was division between night and day.Around me I saw trees growing like puffs of smoke; they grew, spread, and died in moments.I saw huge buildings rise up, then disappear like in a dream.The whole surface of the earth was being changed, melting and flowing before my eyes.I calculated that I was being pushed through time at hundreds of years a minute.
3. Why is the Time Traveller worried about stopping the machine
If he stopped and the same space was being occupied by something else, they would be forced together and explode like a bomb.
[4]I had a strong urge to look at the random things that were being flashed before my eyes！I had thought about the risk of stopping the Time Machine many times.So long as I travelled at maximum speed, it didn't matter.But if I stopped and the same space was being occupied by something else, we would be forced together and explode like a bomb! Like an impatient fool, I pulled the lever backwards hard.With a sudden jolt, the Time Machine was flipped on its side, and I was thrown through the air.
4. Where does the Time Machine arrive when the man finally stops it
In the rain in some mud next to the machine.
[5]I was stunned for a moment, and then heard the sound of thunder.I was sitting in the rain in some mud next to the machine.“A fine welcome，” I said，“for a man who has travelled thousands of years to be here！
Think and Discuss
What date do you think it is when the Time Traveller finally stops
What do you think is different about that time from the time he left
Who or what do you think the Time Traveller will meet
What adventures do you think he will have in the future
Do you think he will ever return to his own time
What might happen next in the story

Ladies and gentlemen,
Thank you for attending our company’s news conference. With the development of the economy, people have to face various pressures, who don’t have enough time to attend to the elderly in their family, leading to a serious social problem.
To tackle this problem, we bring out the household robot designed to take care of old people. Not only can it cook meals at a fixed time, but it can also accompany old people to kill boring times, such as chatting with them. Moreover, it can deal with emergencies.
I do believe that it would be a great help for you to own such a robot.
Thank you.
Version 1
Ladies and gentlemen,
Thank you for attending our company’s news conference. The rapid development of the economy has witnessed people under pressure, who lack of time to attend to the elderly in their family, leading to a prominent social problem.
To tackle it, we bring out the household robot customised for the old. Not only can it fix meals at a fixed time, but it can also accompany old people to kill boring times, such as interacting with them. Moreover, it will play its part should any emergencies arise.
I do believe that it would be a great help for you to possess such a robot.
Thank you.

Words and Phrases
1 It was at ten o’clock today that the first of all Time Machines began its
career.
译文：上午十点，所有时间机器中的第一台启动了其运转之旅。
分析：该句是强调句式，强调开启时间机器之旅的时间。强调句式结构为
“It is (was)+被强调部分(主语、宾语或状语)+who (that)+其他部分...”。
长难句
2 I pushed the starting lever on the main panel forwards an inch then
immediately backwards again.
译文：我把主面板上的启动杆往前推了一英寸，然后又立刻向后拉。
分析：该句描述的是时间旅行者第一次开启时光机器的场景。the starting
lever意为“启动杆”，push forwards表示“启动”，push backwards
表示“制动”。
长难句
3 Night came as if a lamp was being turned out, and in another moment came
the day.
译文：夜幕降临了，仿佛一盏灯正在熄灭，转眼间，白昼就来临了。
分析：该句描述的是时间旅行昼夜交替的快速。本句用了比喻的修辞手法，
将夜晚的到来之快与熄灯这一动作进行类比，突出说明时间旅行中夜
晚降临之快。and后面的句子是倒装句。谓语动词came前置。
长难句
4 If I stopped and the same space was being occupied by something else, we
would be forced together and explode like a bomb!
译文：如果我停下来，同一空间被别的东西占据，我们就会被挤在一起，然
后像炸弹一样爆炸！
分析：该句if引导的条件状语从句，从句用一般过去时，根据主将从现的原
则，主句用过去将来时。

To tackle this problem, we bring out the household robot designed to take care of old people. Not only can it cook meals at a fixed time, but it can also accompany old people to kill boring times, such as chatting with them. Moreover, it can deal with emergencies.
I do believe that it would be a great help for you to own such a robot.
Thank you.

译文：我把主面板上的启动杆往前推了一英寸，然后又立刻向后拉。

3 Night came as if a lamp was being turned out, and in another moment came
the day.
译文：夜幕降临了，仿佛一盏灯正在熄灭，转眼间，白昼就来临了。
分析：该句描述的是时间旅行昼夜交替的快速。本句用了比喻的修辞手法，
将夜晚的到来之快与熄灯这一动作进行类比，突出说明时间旅行中夜
晚降临之快。and后面的句子是倒装句。谓语动词came前置。
长难句

would be forced together and explode like a bomb!
译文：如果我停下来，同一空间被别的东西占据，我们就会被挤在一起，然
后像炸弹一样爆炸！
分析：该句if引导的条件状语从句，从句用一般过去时，根据主将从现的原
则，主句用过去将来时。
