The fridge is considered necessary. It has been so since the 1960s when packaged food listappeared with the label: Store in the refrigerator.
In my fridgeless Fifties childhood, 1 was fed well and healthy. The milkman came every day,the grocer, the butcher (肉商) , the baker, and the ice-cream man delivered two or three timeseach week. The Sunday meat would last until Wednesday and surplus(剩余的) bread and milk becameall kinds of cakes. Nothing was wasted, and we were never troubled by rotten food. Thirty yearson food deliveries have ceased, fresh vegetables are almost unobtainable in the country.The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation.Many well-tried techniques already existed -- natural cooling, drying, smoking, salting,sugaring, bottling. . .
What refrigeration did promote was marketing --- marketing hardware and electricity, marketingsoft drinks, marketing dead bodies of animals around the world in search of a good price.Consequently, most of the world's fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they mightprove useful, but in the rich countries with mild temperatures where they are climaticallyalmost unnecessary. Every winter, millions of fridges hum away continuously, and at vast expense,busily maintaining an artificially-cooled space inside an artificially-heated house -- whileoutside, nature provides the desired temperature free of charge.
The fridge' s effect upon the environment has been evident, while its contribution to humanhappiness has been not important.

It is amazing to note that the Internet is still such a new device， and yet it is one of thefastest and most powerful media tools. But think about it for a moment. On the Internet，abig online company can be run by only two guys in their garage. So it is only reasonable then，that people shopping online would be a little leery of the security levels.
Internet giants such as Microsoft knew consumer confidence was the key to getting virtual(虚拟的) shopping off the ground， and they work hard to make people feel safe to shop online.Credit card companies， too， quickly saw the potential for online shopping， and have installedthings like online shopping insurance for people.

A brand new _Minecraft_ game will be story-driven.The new series of _Minecraft: Story Mode_ will be set in the world of _Minecraft__, _ but itwill feature an original story that combines new characters with familiar themes. It is drivenby player choice. It will be a separate standalone product.The decision to make the new game community-driven is potentially brilliant. It’ s interestingthat feedback from the community is going to be brought into _Minecraft: Story Mode_. In away, it echoes what _Minecraft_ is. It is a user-generated world.
It’ s likely that there already have been gamers on _Minecraft_ fan blogs. They have come upwith theories as to how the universe was created. There could be lots of contradictory thingsthere. But from a marketing standpoint, it makes all the sense in the world for the communityof you guys are going to write this.
_Minecraft_ first came out in 2009 and is probably due for an evolution of some sort. _StoryMode_ seems like a natural next step. A dedicated fan base has very high expectations. It willbe satisfied with the story it is developing.
There will be challenges, however. _Minecraft_ does not follow what the game industry is usedto working with. It will be a completely different development scenario. It is a world withno story and starting from the beginning. As long as the _Minecraft_ story is popular andsuccessful, that might be OK.

* The new game will be combined with other products. 【F】
* The new game is community-driven. 【T】

You jump into a car, tell it where you want to go then sit back and let a computer take control.It seems a dream in the future. It isn' t.
In many ways such driverless cars are already with us. There is partial automation in manycars, such as intelligent braking, lane departure warning and automatic parking. The systemsare there【B】 cars can pretty much drive themselves. No one noticed the introduction of cruisecontrol. We' ve got collision avoidance, and we' ll soon have automatic lane change.
Improving this technology should make the roads safer. Machines are much better at followingrules than humans. Driveway signs advise drivers to slow down to avoid【A】 jams. They are oftenignored by drivers. But it won' t happen【B】 a computer. Driverless cars could also choose thebest route to avoid traffic jams.
Fewer jams will mean 【C】 stop-start driving. Maintaining smooth and constant speeds will improvefuel efficiency. Computers could also be programmed to take the greenest route, rather thanthe fastest one. Under computer control, cars could also travel much closer together.They can effectively slipstream one another and use less fuel to move themselves forward. Theycan even form multi-car trains going【C】 high speeds. However, with driverless cars on theroads, there will be potential trust issues between people and machines. We could thereforesee guard rails back on the sides of pavements. This would be a backwards step.

The other man was Hubert Latham. He was half French and half English. He took up flying whenhis doctors told him he had only a year to live. Oh, well, he said, if I' m going to die soon,I think I shall have a dangerous and interesting life now.
Latham was the first to try the flight across the Channel. Ten kilometres from the French coast,his plane had some trouble. It fell down into the water and began to sink under the water.A boat reached Latham just in time. He was sitting calmly on the wing and was coolly lightinga cigarette. Bleriot took off six days later. He flew into some very bad weather and very lowcloud. He somehow got to the English side and landed in a farmer' s field.

Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea hasserved the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travelto many parts of the world. Today, nearly two—thirds of the world' s population live within80 kilometers of the sea coast.
In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive.Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supplymany of man' s needs.
The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man's technology is impressive. Oil andgas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals existon the ocean floor ready to be mined (开采) .
Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture offish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental people.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warmtemperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents(水流) and waves offer possible use as a source of energy.
Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong,new materials has made this possible.
The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2000the problems that prevent us from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy sources ofthe sea will be largely solved.
