Unit 2 　 Looking into the Future 　 Future coworker model debuts Have you seen any movies about the future? The answer must be“yes”. But have you ever imagined yourself in the future? Or, because of certain lifestyle habits, your appearance will change a lot? Look, your future coworker model debuts. A report named The Work Colleague Of The Future showed that more than 90% of UK office workers suffering from work-related health issues have more difficulty doing their job. Based on surveys of more than 3, 000 workers in France, Germany and the UK, a team led by behavioral futurist William Higham predicted how offices might change the human body over the next 20 years. They created a life-size model named “Emma” to illustrate how the setup of a work station can lead to office workers physically and visually changing. The model developed a permanently bent back caused by sitting for hours in a bad position, varicose veins from poor blood flow, a round stomach caused by a sedentary position, dry and red eyes from long hours staring at a computer screen and pale skin for spending years trapped under the glare of artificial light. Higham said: The study highlights the need to “act now” and make “radical changes” to the way we work. The report shows that employers and workers really need to act now and address the problem of poor workplace health. “Unless we make entire changes to our working lives, such as moving more, addressing our posture at our desks, taking regular walking breaks or considering improving our work station setup, our offices are going to make us very sick. ” 　　 Well, guess it’s time to make great changes to your lifestyle if you don’t want to look like Emma. 未来的上班族模型曝光 　　你看过有关未来的电影吗 ? 答案肯定是“ yes” 。但是你有没有想象过未来自己的模样 ? 或者说 , 因为某些生活习惯 , 你的外貌会发生很大的变化吗 ? 看吧 , 你未来的上班族模型亮相了。 一份名为 《 未来的工作同事 》 的报告显示 , 90% 以上的英国上班族都有与工作相关的健康问题 , 这使得他们工作变得更加困难。 行为未来学家威廉 • 希格姆领导的一个团队在对法国、德国和英国 3000 多名上班族进行调查后 , 预测了未来 20 年办公室将如何改变人的身体形态。 他们做出了一个名叫 “ 艾玛 ” 的真人大小的上班族模型 , 以此阐述工作环境如何让上班族的身体和视力发生改变。 因长时间保持不良坐姿 , 艾玛的背永远是驼的 ; 因血流不畅 , 她患有静脉曲张 ; 因久坐 , 她腹部肥圆 ; 因长时间盯着电脑屏幕 , 她眼睛干红 ; 因常年置身于人造灯光环境中 , 她的肤色蜡黄。 希格姆表示 , 这项研究强调了“现在就采取行动”和“彻底改变”工作方式的必要性。报告显示 , 雇主和工人确实需要立即采取行动 , 解决工作场所健康状况不佳的问题。“除非我们对工作生活进行根本性改变 , 比如多走动、改变在办公桌前的姿势、工作间隙经常散步休息、考虑改善工作环境设施 , 否则我们的办公室会严重伤害我们的身体。” 好吧 , 如果你不想看起来像艾玛 , 那么是时候改变你的生活方式了。 【 导语 】 歌曲 《whatever will be, will be》(《 顺其自然 》) 源自著名导演阿尔弗雷德 · 希区柯克的电影 《 擒凶记 》 。这首歌在当年一举荣获奥斯卡最佳电影插曲金像奖 , 随着时间的流逝 , 它的生命已经超越了电影本身 , 在半个多世纪之后依然给人无穷的力量。   whatever will be, will be 注 : 听音填空 When I was just a little girl I asked my mother what will I be Will I be pretty, will I be rich Here’s 1. _____ she said to me Que sera, sera what 2. _________ will be, will be The future’s not ours 3. _____   Que sera, sera What will be, will be When I grew up and fell in love I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead Will we have rainbows day after day Whatever to see Here’s what my sweetheart said Que Sera, Sera Whatever will be, will be The future is not ours to see Que Sera, Sera What will be, will be Now I have children 4. __ my own of They ask their mother what will I be Will I be handsome, will I be rich I tell them tenderly Que Sera, Sera Whatever will be, will be The future is not ours to see Que Sera, Sera What will be, will be 【 词海拾贝 】 1. grow up 长大成人 2. fall in love 坠入爱河 3. sweetheart n.
