听力原文： Today I would like to talk about automated home facilities. Current advances in home automation offer homeowners comfort, convenience, security and energy saving. In a fully automated house, you would be able to pick up phone, call your house and instruct it to stop the security system, turn on lights, turn on the compact disc player and start cooking the food in the oven, etC., all while you were away from homE.These and other advances in home automation are fast becoming available to people nowadays, thanks to the ongoing efforts of scores of consumer electronics companies. During the last decade, consumers have readily accepted such technological wonders as microwave ovens, fax machines and cellular phones. Cars are computerized, automated teller machines are widely used in banks and many people have access to personal computers. The interest in home automation, however, is not born of a desire to create a space-age homE.It stems from a genuine interest in finding new ways to make a house safe, energy-efficient and comfortablE.Take security for examplE.If there is a fire, an automated house will detect it, turn off the gas, turn on the lights, unlock the doors, set off an alarm and call the fire department. If someone tries to enter your home, a triggered motion detector can turn on floodlights in the yard and instruct your stereo set to produce the sound of a barking dog in order to frighten the person away. If you want to avoid unwelcome guests, you can mount a video camera at the front door, and view visitors on a TV screen. If the caller is someone with a clipboard and a hopeful expression, you can skip that trip to the door. But if it is a friend, you could tap a couple of buttons on the remote control, unlock the door and welcome him in. With home manager, one of several automation systems being sold on the market, you can warm up the master bedroom, kitchen and bathroom in the morning before the alarm goes ofF.Or you can program it to keep your childrens room at a constant temperaturE.In midsummer, you can even instruct sensors in the house to open skylights, turn on the ceiling fans and close the curtains when the house reaches a certain temperaturE.The increase of working couples and single people living alone means there is less time for and interest in menial tasks. Why not automate these tasks whenever possible? Home control systems also offer a lot of conveniences. First of all, you can program your house to do certain things at different times of the day or for different scenarios. A 'wake-up mode', for instance, might turn off the security alarm, turn on the kitchen lights, turn up the furnace, heat water and start the coffee pot. A 'romantic mode' might allow you, with the flip of a switch, to dim the lights, play romantic music and light the fireplacE.And an 'unoccupied mode' will arm the security system and randomly turn lights on and off in different rooms. All of these functions can be controlled while in the house or remotely from a phone or computer. In addition, home automation offers tremendous lifestylE.improvements for elderly and disabled peoplE.For those who cant push a button or flip a switch, a voice command can be used to activate security cameras, turn on the stereo volume or drop the room temperature a few degrees. The click of remote control could turn on the oven, close the window or open the door. So, what is home automation exactly? In short, it is actually a combination of several things including microprocessors, enhanced power line transmission, computer chips, telephone and cable wiring, infrared sensors and radio frequency waves.Narrator Listen to a talk on home automation in a mechanical engineering class. Now get ready to answer the questions. You may use your notes to help you answer.What is the talk mainly about?A.The differences between traditional and automated houses.B.The advantages of automated houses.C.The tendency of home automation.D.The history of automation technology.

听力原文：Student Professor King, we learnt something about the Myth of the Paperless Office last week, but I missed your lesson because my mum was badly ill. So I came here today to ask you some questions. Professor King You are welcomE.What would you like to ask? Student Since I have read the article in our textbook, I want to know some background information about the paperless officE.Professor King Well, here is a piece of paper and you can have a look at it first. Student Oh, in the spring of 1979, a model office opened in Washington, D.C., touting itself as a world without paper—a workplace filled with the best technology and the promise of more sophisticated automation to comE.But a quarter century later, all the advances of the information age have only ushered in the use of more and more paper—not less. Professor King Right, in fact that was just the very beginning. The amount of paper shipped by U. S. producers almost doubled from 1980 to 1995, from 16.1 million tons to almost 30 million tons, according to the American Forest and Paper Association. Copier paper alone rose by 500000 tons in just a year, from 1996 to 1997. Eliminating paper in business certainly is a desirable goal. But, unfortunately, its not currently realistic, since paper plays important psychological, aesthetic and legal functions in todays business worlD.Student I see now, and there are many advantages of hard copies over electronic documents, including better reader comprehension, less eyestrain, greater mobility, superior flexibility and an enhanced comfort level among workers. In addition, the U. S. and foreign countries vary considerably with regard to the legality of electronic documents and signatures, am I right? Professor King Precisely. Some of your points are mentioned in our texts and some are your own opinions, but they are all very exact, it seems you are interested in this topiC.Student Yes, I am. I have read another article on the Internet, and it introduces some other hidden advantages over computers, especially in three aspect—reading, writing and personal satisfaction in delivery. However, that author analyzes two activities—air-traffic control and writing up police reports, and in the end he concludes computers cant replace paper completely. He suggests two reasons for such a chimera as paperless office, and finally, states that at least for now paperless office looks both unlikely and pointless. Professor King Very gooD.I plan to continue this topic next Monday in our class, and would you like to prepare a presentation about what you know on this topic? Im sure it will be very interesting and gooD.At the same time you can make up what you missed during the preparation. Student Thank you very much, professor King. I think for the time being its best to combine some use of paper with electronic or digital information systems. This approach can substantially reduce, although certainly not eradicate, the reliance on paper in peoples lifE.Professor King Well, if you have any questions, you can call mE.Student Thank you very much, professor.Narrator Listen to part of a conversation between a student and a professor.
