SHOULD WE FIGHT NEW TECHNOLOGY?

This morning, I saw the shocking① headline：“Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mode”．In the article, various②people said that the public should oppose③ the idea of developing driverless cars.They said that some advances in technology④ were unnecessary and could even be dangerous. Hence⑤， we should cease⑥ accepting technology just because it is new. The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologised for⑦ the accident, but the families of the deceased⑧ said it was not enough. Nevertheless, the company still claimed⑨ that most people would be travelling in driverless cars one day soon.

　　 1On__the__one__hand⑩，__there__are__many__different__groups__of__people__around__the__world__who__live__happily__in__the__absence⑪of__new__technology. Probably the most well known are the Amish, a group of Christians living in rural⑫ America. They do not own or drive cars, watch TV, or use the Internet.They have lived mainly as farmers since the 18th century, and they will probably be living the same way in the distant future. They advocate⑬ a simple life with an emphasis⑭ on hard work, family, and community.They think that is better than caring about luxuries⑮ or following the lives of⑯ the rich and famous. 2It__could__even__be__argued__that⑰__the__Amish's__quality__of__life__is__better__since__they__live__in__and__appreciate__the__natural__environment__rather__than⑱__living__in__large,__polluted__cities.

On the other hand, new technology has

provided people everywhere with⑲ many benefits over the years. For example, the latest weather­tracking computer programmes give people lots of warnings⑳ about potential natural disasters, which saves many lives. Moreover, the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch㉑easily even if㉒they are on opposite sides of the world. 3It has also made finding opportunities in life much easier, as it allows people to㉓ make larger networks of friends through using social media.

Personally㉔， I have benefited quite a lot from㉕technological advances㉖. I found my career㉗as an AI designer through a social media network.My health monitor, which I wear all the time, has also helped me get into the best shape of my life. Of course, when new technology changes the way we live, it can be a scary prospect㉘. Nevertheless, I will always look on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it.

[课文翻译]

我们应该反对新技术吗？

今天早上，我看到了一个令人震惊的标题：“无人驾驶模式下的车祸导致乘客死亡”。在这篇文章中，很多人说公众应该反对开发无人驾驶汽车的想法。他们说， 一些技术进步是不必要的，甚至可能是危险的。因此，我们应该停止仅仅因为技术是新的就接受它。该报报道称，该汽车公司已经就事故道歉，但死者家属表示这还不够。尽管如此，该公司仍然宣称，不久的将来，大多数人将乘坐无人驾驶汽车出行。

1. 一方面，世界上有许多不同的群体，他们在没有新技术的情况下幸福地生活着。最著名的可能是阿曼门诺派，一群生活在美国农村的基督徒。他们没有汽车也不开车，不看电视， 也不使用互联网。自18世纪以来，他们主要以农民的身份生活，在遥远的将来，他们可能也会以同样的方式生活。他们提倡简单的生活， 强调努力工作、家庭和社区。他们认为这比关心奢侈品或追随富人和名人的生活更好。2. 甚至可以说，阿曼门诺派的生活质量更好，因为他们生活在自然环境中，欣赏自然，而不是生活在污染严重的大城市里。

另一方面， 新技术多年来为各地的人们提供了许多好处。例如，最新的天气跟踪计算机程序给人们提供了许多关于潜在自然灾害的警告，这挽救了许多人的生命。此外，互联网使朋友和家人很容易保持联系，即使他们在世界的两端。3.它还让人们更容易在生活中寻找机会，因为它让人们通过使用社交媒体结交更多的朋友。

就我个人而言，我从技术进步中获益匪浅。我通过一个社交媒体网络找到了我作为人工智能设计师的职业。我一直戴着健康监测器，它也帮助我进入了最佳状态。当然，当新技术改变我们的生活方式时， 这可能是一个可怕的前景。然而，我总是会看到变化积极的一面， 接受它， 而不是抵制它。
