Unit 3 Who am I Over time I have been changed quite a lot. I began as a calculating machine in France in 1642. Although I was young I could simplify difficult sums. I developed very slowly and it took nearly two hundred years before I was built as an analytical machine by Charles Babbage. After I was programmed by an operator who used cards with holes, I could “” logically and proce an answer quicker than any person. At that time it was considered a technological revolution and the start of my “artificial intelligence”. In 1936 my real father, Alan Turing, wrote a book about how I could be made to work as a “universal machine” to solve any difficult mathematical problem. From then on, I grew rapidly both in size and in brainpower. By the 1940s I had grown as large as a room, and I wondered if I would grow any larger. However, this reality also worried my designers. As time went by, I was made smaller. First as a PC(personal computer) and then as a laptop, I have been used in offices and homes since the 1970s. These changes only became possible as my memory improved. First it was stored in tubes, then on transistors and later on very small chips. As a result I totally changed my shape. As I have grown older I have also grown smaller. Over time my memory has developed so much that, like an elephant, I never forget anything I have been told! And my memory became so large that even I couldn’t believe it! But I was always so lonely standing there by myself, until in the early 1960s they gave me a family connected by a network. I was able to share my knowledge with others through the World Wide Web. Since the 1970s many new applications have been found for me. I have become very important in communication, finance and trade. I have also been put in robots and used to make mobile phones as well as help with medical operations. I have even been put into space rockets and sent to explore the Moon and Mars. Anyhow, my goal is to provide humans with a life of high quality. I am now truly filled with happiness that I am a devoted friend and helper of the human race! Andy- the android …… My first football competition was in Nagoya, Japan several years ago. Last year our team went to Seattle, Washington in the USA. We won second place. Personally, I think the team that won first place cheated. They had developed a new type of program just before the competition. So we need to encourage our programmer to improve our intelligence too. We are determined to create an even better system. In a way our programmer is like our coach. She programs us with all the possible moves she has seen while watching human games. Then she prepares reliable moves to use if a new situation arises. In this way I can make up new moves using “my artificial intelligence”. I would really like to play against a human team, for I have been programmed to act just like them. After all, with the help of my electronic brain which never forgets anything, using my intelligence is what I’m all about!

HOW DAISY LEARNED TO HELP WILDLIFE是人教版高一必修二第四单元的课文，翻译如下：

戴茜是如何学会保护野生动物的

戴茜一直以来都渴望帮助那些灭绝的野生动植物。一天她醒来，发现床边有一块飞毯。飞毯问：“你想去哪儿？”

戴茜立刻回答道：“我想去看看濒临美绝的野生动物。请带我到遥远的地方，在那里我可以发现为制作这件毛衣而提供毛绒的那种动物。”

飞毯立刻开始起飞了，带她到了中国的西藏。在那里，戴茜看到一只藏羚羊面带忧郁的神色。

它说：“为了取得我们肚皮底下的羊毛，我们正在被屠杀。我们的毛被用来为像你一样的人们制作毛衣。因此，我们现在濒临灭绝了。”

听了这话，戴茜哭了：“我很抱歉，我过去不知道还有这回事儿。我不知道为了帮助你们正在采取什么措施。飞毯啊，请把我带到一个有野生动植物保护的地方去，好吗？”

飞毯飞行得如此之快，以致于一转眼他们就来到了津巴布韦。戴茜转过身去，看到一头大象正望着她。大象问道：“你是来给我拍照的吗？”

戴茜如释重负，突然笑了起来。“不要笑了，”大象说道，“我们过去是濒危动物，农民们总是惨无人道地捕杀我们。他们说，我们破坏了他们的农田，而旅游者的钱过去都流进了大型旅游公司。

于是政府决定出面提供帮助。如果游客付给农民钱的话，他们允许游客来猎取一定数量的动物。如今农民高兴了，我们的数量也在增加。因此，为了拯救当地的野生动植物，他们也在做一些好事。”

戴茜笑道：“这可是个好消息。这体现了野生动植物保护的重要性，不过，我还是想按照世界自然基金会（WWF）的建议来帮助你们。

”飞毯再次升起，几乎一转眼他们就到了茂密的热带雨林。一只猴子一边擦着身体，一边望着他们。

戴茜问它：“你在干什么呢？”它回答说：“我这样做可以防止蚊虫叮咬。当我发现一种千足虫，便把它擦在身上。

它含有一种强效的药物可以防止蚊虫叮咬。你们应该多加关注我的生活的热带雨林，并且懂得热带雨林的动物是如何在一起生活的。没有雨林，就没有动物，也就没有药物了。”

戴茜很惊讶。“飞毯，请带我回家去，我可以告诉世界自然基金会，我们可以开始生产这种新药。猴子，请跟我回去帮忙吧。”猴子同意了，毯子飞回了家。

当他们着地时，一切就开始消失了。两分钟后，什么都没了——猴子也没了。这样，戴茜就不能制造新药了。

但是，这是一次多么奇妙的经历呀！她学会了那么多东西！而且，还有世界自然基金会呢……

HOW DAISY LEARNED TO HELP WILDLIFE英语原文如下：

Daisy had always longed to help endangered species of wildlife.

One day she woke up and found a flying carpet by her bed."Where do you want to go?"

It asked.Daisy responded immediately."I'd like to see some endangered wildlife," she said."

Please take me to a distant land where I can find the animal that gave fur to make this sweater."

At once the carpet flew away and took her to Tibet.There Daisy saw an antelope looking sad.

It said,"We' re being killed for the wool beneath our stomachs.Our fur is being used to make sweaters for people like you.

As a result,we are now an endangered species." At that Daisy cried,"I'm sorry I didn' t know that.I wonder what is being done to help you.

Flying carpet,please show me a place where there' s some wildlife protection."

The flying carpet travelled so fast that next minute they were in Zimbabwe.

Daisy turned around and found that she was being watched by an elephant.

"Have you come to take my photo?"it asked.In relief Daisy burst into laughter.

" Don' t laugh," said the elephant," We used to be an endangered species.Farmers hunted us without mercy.

They said we destroyed their farms,and money from tourists only went to the large tour companies." So the government decided to help.

They allowed tourists to hunt only a certain number of animals if they paid the farmers.

Now the farmers are happy and our numbers are increasing.So good things are being done here to save local wildlife".

Daisy smiled." That' s good news.It shows the importance of wildlife protection,but I' d like to help as the WWF suggests."

The carpet rose again and almost at once they were in a thick rainforest.

A monkey watched them as it rubbed it self." What are you doing?" asked Daisy."I'm protecting myself from mosquitoes," it replied.

"When I find a millipede insect,I rub it over my body.It contains a powerful drug which affects mosquitoes.

You should pay more attention to the rainforest where I live and appreciate how the animals live together.No rainforest,no animals,no drugs."

Daisy was amazed."Flying carpet,please take me home so I can tell WWF and we can begin procing this new drug.

Monkey,please come and help." The monkey agreed.The carpet flew home.As they landed,things began to disappear.

Two minutes later everything had gone - the monkey,too.

So Daisy was not able to make her new drug.But what an experience!She had learned so much!And there was always WWF...

文章中多次出现的WWF是World Wide Fund For Nature的缩写，指的是世界自然基金会。在全球享有盛誉的、最大的独立性非政府环境保护组织之一，

WWF”起初代表“World Wildlife Fund”（世界野生动植物基金会）。

1986年，WWF认识到这个名字不能完全反映组织的活动，于是改名为“World Wide Fund For Nature”（世界自然基金会）。不过美国和加拿大仍然保留了原来的名字。

目前，最初的缩写“WWF”是我们唯一且全球使用的名字。该缩写从1961年以来已被大部分人认知。

使命

WWF的使命是遏止地球自然环境的恶化，创造人类与自然和谐相处的美好未来。为此我们致力于：

保护世界生物多样性；

确保可再生自然资源的可持续利用；

推动降低污染和减少浪费性消费的行动。

课文标题是In search of the amber room 【原文】
Frederick William I, the King of Prussia, could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history. This gift was the Amber Room, which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it. The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey. The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days. It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels, which took the country' s best artists about ten years to make.
In fact, the room was not made to be a gift. It was designed for the palace of Frederick I. However, the next King of Prussia, Frederick William I, to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. In return, the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room became part of the Czar' s winter palace in St Petersburg. About four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors.
Later, Catherine Ⅱhad the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details to it. In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted. Almost six hundred candles lit the room, and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold. Sadly, although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world,it is now missing.
In September 1941 , the Nazi army was near St Petersburg. This was a time when the two countries were at war. Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace, the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small art objects from the Amber Room. However, some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself. In less than two days 100,000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven wooden boxes. There is no doubt that the boxes were then put on a train for Konigsberg, which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea. After that,what happened to the Amber Room remain a mystery.
Recently, the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the summer palace. By studying old photos of the former Amber Room, they have made the new one look like the old one. In 2003 it was ready for the people of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city.

                                                                      寻找琥珀屋
普鲁士国王威廉一世决不可能想到他送给俄罗斯人民的厚礼会有这样一段令人惊讶的历史。这件礼物就是琥珀屋，它之所以有这个名字，是因为造这间房子用了好几吨的琥珀。选出来的琥珀色彩艳丽，呈现蜂蜜一样的黄褐色。琥珀屋的设计采用了当时流行的别致的建筑式样。它也是用金银珠宝装饰起来的珍品。一批国家最优秀的艺术用了大约十年的时间才把它完成。
事实上，这个琥珀屋并不是作为礼物来建造的。它是为腓特烈一世的宫殿设计（制作）的。然而，下一位普鲁士国王，腓特烈·威廉一世，这个琥珀屋的主人却决定不要它了。在1716年，他把琥珀屋送给了彼得大帝。作为回赠，沙皇则送给他一队自己最好的士兵。这样，琥珀屋就成了沙皇在圣彼得堡冬宫的一部分。这间琥珀屋长约四米，被用作待重要宾的小型会客室。
后来，叶卡捷琳娜二世派人把琥珀屋搬到圣彼得堡郊外她避暑的宫殿中。她叫她的工匠在原来设计的基础上增添了更多精细的装饰。1770年，这间琥珀屋按照她的要求完成了。将近600支蜡烛照亮了这个房间，里面的镜子和图画就像金子一样闪闪发光，可悲的是，尽管琥珀屋被认为是是世界上的一大奇迹之一，可是现在它却消失了。
1941年9月，纳粹德国的军队逼近圣彼得堡。这是在两国交战的时期。在纳粹分子到达夏宫之前，俄罗斯人只能把琥珀屋里的一些家具和小件艺术饰品搬走。可是琥珀屋本身却被一些纳粹分子偷偷地运走了。在不到两天的时间里，10万个部件装进了27个木箱。毫无疑问，这些想在后来被装上火车运往哥尼斯堡，当时德国在波罗的海边的一个城市。从那以后，琥珀屋的去处便成了一个迷。
近来，俄罗斯人和德国人已经在夏宫建起了一个新的琥珀屋，通过研究琥珀屋原来的照片，他们建造的新琥珀屋样子和旧的看起来非常像。2003年春，圣彼得堡人民就用它来庆祝该市建成300周年。

Reading and listening
事实还是看法?
什么是事实呢?是不是人们所相信的就是事实呢?不是。事实是可以证实的信息。举例来说,中国人口比世界上任何其他国家的人口都多,这是可以得到证实的,这就是事实。
那么,什么是看法呢?看法是人们相信是真实的但是未经证实。因此在审判中,看法不是强有力的证据。举例来说,如果你说:“猫作为宠物比狗好。”这就是看法,这个看法可能是正确的,但是它难以被证实。有些人可能不同意这种看法。但是他们也不能证明他们是正确的。
在审判中,法官必须断定哪些证人可以相信,哪些证人不能相信。法官并不考虑证人的长相如何,也不考虑这个人住在哪里,在哪儿工作。他(她)关心的只是目击者是否提供了真实的信息,这些信息必须是事实而不是个人观点或看法。这种信息就叫做证据。
