How would you feel if you woke up and found your entire computers—including your photos, your recent documents—no longer【小题1】(access)?   What if you found out that they had been wiped from your computer, 【小题2】(leave) you with nothing but heartache?

Guess what? It happens to people every single day. Every day, people across the country head into their local Apple store in【小题3】 (tear), broken computer in hand, praying as they wait in line that an expensive repair might, just might, recover the priceless, irreplaceable files. A few get lucky. 【小题4】for the rest, there’s nothing anyone can do【小题5】 (help).

Hasn’t it happened to you? If your computer remains unprotected, it will, and it’s only     【小题6】matter of time.   But thanks【小题7】recent breakthroughs in computer backup (备份) technology, you now have a number of options to prepare, and if you’ re smart, when your computer【小题8】 (crash), you shouldn’t have any trouble【小题9】 (get) 100% of your files back that same day. I’m not talking about an external hard drive. I’m talking about an online backup solution that runs【小题10】 (quiet) in the background on your computer. If you have one installed (安装)，when your computer crashes, you’ ll be just one click away from bringing your files back to life.

Technophobes are people who hate modern technology, probably because they don’t understand it, 【小题1】 because they are afraid of doing something wrong and 【小题2】 (ruin) the equipment.

However, this is not a new phenomenon. At the turn of the 20th century, when electricity was set up in many homes, signs 【小题3】 (place) on the wall next to the light-switches advising people who were used to gas lighting not to light the electricity 【小题4】 a match!

There were many cases 【小题5】 people were unaware of how to use new machines, causing embarrassment in the would-be user and 【小题6】 (amuse) in the observer.

When 【小题7】 (video) first came on the market, a woman, who had never seen a video-tape before, took one tape out of the box and began shaking it 【小题8】 (violent). Seeing this, her husband asked her what she 【小题9】 (do). She replied, “Shaking the tape. It says on the tape ‘Shake before use’”. Her husband told her the name of the film was “Shake Before Use”!

Whatever your phobias (恐惧), new technology is here to stay until someone comes along and invents something 【小题10】 (new) than before for us to use.

In real life, we usually forget【小题1】(lock) the door or switch off the lights or the gas,     【小题2】will cause great problems. Besides, we will also meet these things: the water pipe will start 【小题3】(leak), the electrical wiring will short, and even your health will have problems, but you needn't worry about them. In the not-too-【小题4】(distance )future, the smart homes will deal with them.

A smart home is one that【小题5】(integrate) computers into the structure of the building itself. In this way, many of the things that we now do【小题6】(we) will become available. For example, the smart home could control the air conditioning and lights so that you would no longer have to turn switches on and off,【小题7】(make) your home more energy-efficient. The smart home could also monitor itself to make sure that everything is working as it should, 【小题8】 send you warning if there is a problem. Such smart homes could even【小题9】(programme) to detect your health problems, and then give you right advice as to the food you should eat or if you should see a doctor. So, in【小题10】sense, smart homes will lead us to living smarter lives. Luckily, some new technology has been used in our homes.
