Life in the future李仕才Unit 3Life in the future【高考试一试】阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。The world we live in is always changing. Technologies and ideas are quickly advancing to keep up with the changing lives of humans. Most people dont even notice the change but over time, the language is always changing with the world around to either help the understanding of certain situations or make things easier to say while still getting the point across.Certain words are now being introduced to the English language. These words are seen as teenage slang (俚语) by many adults of the past generations because this new vocabulary is used mainly by younger people. In a new book, John McWhorter talks about new words such as lol, haha, slash, and btw that younger people tend to use when texting. Words such as lol and haha, he says, are used just to give sentences a certain mood. But people of older generations do not use these terms because they are just being developed and added to the English language.In Mother Tongue by Amy Tan, she describes how she talks in certain ways to certain people. This is just a mechanism (机制) made by her brain for whatever makes things the easiest to communicate. Even when talking to her mom, she speaks in broken English because its the easiest way to speak with her mom. This shows that humans will adapt to the language around them and use the easiest form of the language to communicate. So when new, easier styles are being introduced, humans will automatically start using these methods to speak with each other.Language is always changing. With the fast-paced world, language takes the characteristics of the people using it. So as new generations start to take shape, they bring all sorts of new language to the public that change the language forever. So as the everyday life of the average human changes, so does the language that they use to communicate._文章大意：Paragraph 1：我们生活的世界在不断地变化着，我们所使用的语言亦是如此。Paragraph 2：一些新的词汇正在被引入到英语中，年轻人喜欢使用这些被称为青少年俚语的词汇与他人交流，以传达一定的感情色彩，但老一代的人却不会使用这些词汇，他们觉得这些词汇是新出现的，还正处于发展变化之中。Paragraph 3：生活中，人们逐渐适应了所使用的语言，并采用最简单的方式来进行交流。Paragraph 4：随着世界的快速发展和语言使用者日常生活的变化，语言不断呈现出新的面貌。 话题单词1environment n环境2construction n. 建筑3condition n. 情况，状态；条件4quality n. 质量5convenient adj. 方便的6predict v. 预测7comfortable adj. 舒适的8automatic adj. 自动的9harmonious adj. 和谐的10communication n. 通讯；交流11realize v. 实现，意识到12expansion n. 扩张13unavoidable adj. 不可避免的14effect n. 影响，结果15furthermore adv. 而且；再者【高考试一试】假设你叫李华，你所在的城市要为明年暑假招聘英语导游，你打算应聘。请根据下列提示，用英语写一篇面试稿。1. 对英语有浓厚的兴趣，口语熟练，经常与英国网友(net-pal)聊天；2. 性格开朗，思维敏捷，善于与人沟通；3. 本地人，熟悉所在城市的历史与文化。注意：1. 词数100左右（开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数）； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。Hello!
