If you come to school one day and all your friends are talking to their computers, don’t worry.There’s nothing wrong with them, and there’s nothing wrong with you.They are all just using a new kind of programme, which can listen to your voice and remember who you are.Talking computers are now new.People were very interested in them twenty years ago, but they never worked very well.They only knew about 1,000 words, and you need 10,000 words to carry out most activities.Most programmes now know 30,000 words.
Everybody is using voice programmes today.If you make a telephone call about a product or a service or if you make plane or car booking, you may find you are talking to computer.Soon we’ll be able to send messages with our voices, and give instructions to our computers.A big computer will keep 50 numbers, so when you want to call your travel agent Maria, you simply pick up the phone and say “Maria”, and Maria answers the phone.In some large companies the computer can let you talk to any person you want.Many banks and stores are interested in developing these programmes.
There are even some new programmes which can remember 50,000 words.They are useful for people who need to put large amounts of text into computers.This is a good thing for people like doctors and writers because it is very quick.They can just talk straight into the computer.
We all speak in a different way, so how does the machine know what we are saying?You need to teach it to remember the way speak by reading lists of words slowly into the machine.People who like talking into the computer say that it is much better and cheaper than using a keyboard.This means that they have more time to do more important and more interesting things.
1.If you make a phone call on a talking computer, you say the person’s ___________ instead of his or her telephone number.
2.___________would like to talk to computers in order to do their work quickly.
3.We need to teach our computer to remember our voice because everybody has ___________.

Welcome to the energy science exhibition, Journey of Harmonious(和諧的)Energy.It opened on March 20th in Beijing.In this cool place, you can learn about different types of energy, how to use energy and how to protect our environment.Let's take a look.
When you walk your dog, you use energy.When you do your homework, you also use energy.When you listen to music on the radio, you are using energy again.
Energy is the ability(能力)to do work, and it's everywhere.
Energy has many different forms.Every time you watch television or turn on a light, you are using electrical energy.The food you eat has chemical energy.The energy you use to move is called motion.
Our bodies also use energy.Do you want to know how much energy you use every day? A special machine at the exhibition can tell you.Type in some information about your weight, height, age and job.Then the machine gives you your answer.According to the exhibition, a person usually uses 9.3 liters(升)of oil worth of energy a day.
Visitors can also learn about some advanced technologies(高科技)for getting energy.For example, they can use some technology for exploring the deep sea and finding oil.
