Unit 1 Living with technology 与科技同行 没有刹车线的自行车，你见过吗？如果遇到紧急情况，它又是怎样刹车的呢？ 　　Computer scientists at Saarland University, Germany, have developed a wireless bicycle brake which they say could revolutionize control systems. 　　The brake does away with the cable that would usually be found running down the fork holding the bicycle’s front wheel. It works like a wireless mouse. The rider simply squeezes the pressure-sensitive handle to brake and the electronics do the rest. 　　The more tightly the handle is clenched, the harder the disk brake on the front wheel works. 　　The scientists say their calculations have proved the brake system’s reliability is so good that it could be used to control systems in aircraft, trains and factories. 　　The sender is fixed in a blue plastic box which is the size of a cigarette packet and is attached to the handle. Its radio signals are sent to a receiver attached at the end of the bicycle’s fork. 　　The receiver sends the signal to an actuator, transforming the radio signal into the mechanical power by which the brake is done. 　　To be more reliable, there are more senders attached to the bicycle all repeatedly sending the same signal. 1. revolutionize vt. 彻底改革 2. squeeze vt. 榨, 挤, 压, 拧 3. attach vt. 装上, 贴上, 系上 4. actuator n. 驱动器 写一封提出建议的邮件 本单元的写作要求是写一封建议信，即在信中发表建议与看法。建议信除了遵循书信的格式外，还要求在信中针对别人的提问，给出你的观点及解决办法。在写建议信的时候应做到：1. 注意格式；2. 客观地提出建议；3. 针对对方的问题给出你的观点；4. 语言要委婉、精练，表达清楚。 (2012·双鸭山高二检测) 假如你是李明。你的班里来了一位英国交换生Paul。他在和你的交谈中表示在学习中压力很大。请你给他写封信，给他提一些建议。主要包括以下内容： 1. 请求老师和同学的帮助； 2. 不要总想着考试成绩，要多想自己的进步； 3. 多做运动。 注意：1. 词数: 100左右； 2. 可适当加入细节，以使行文连贯； 3. 信的开头已为你写好(不计入总词数)。 Dear Paul， I quite sympathize with you and understand the great trouble you are suffering from. __________________________________ ______________________________________________________ Best wishes!
