control the speed of the car and there wont be any accidents.today，many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are.by 2050，the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination.in the domain of technology，robots will have replaced people in factories.many factories already use robots.big companies prefer robotsthey do not ask for pay rises or go on strike，and they work 24 hours a day.by 2050，we will see robots everywherein factories，schools，offices，hospitals，shops and homes.last but not least，medicine technology will have conquered many diseases.today

recognize their unique worth. imitation appears attractive: to those who know their strength. imitation is unacceptable.in the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. when i first learned to cook, i used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes. but soon i grew bored. why follow someone elses way of cooking when i could create my own? imitating role models is like using training wheels on a childs bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.in daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. if, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. if you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.in the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. those stars look great on screen. but when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. if you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. they touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. the world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. creative people have an endless resource of ideas. the problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.syudy your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not server. then you can say,” i stand on the shoulders of my ancestors” tragedies and tory, and know that they are cheering on.( ) 1.imitation proves useful when you .a. know you are uniqueb. lose the balance of lifec. begin to learn something newd. get tired of routine practice( ) 2. to avoid the bad result of imitation, we should_.a. forget daily fear and painb. choose the right examplec. ask others for decisionsd. stay away from stars( ) 3.acording to the author. the world moves on because of those who are .a. desperate to intruence others with their knowledge b. ready to turn their original ideas into realityc. eager to discover what their ancestors didd. willing to accept others ideas( ) 4.the trouble a creator faces is .a. the lack of strong motivationb. the absence of practical ideas c. how to search for more materialsd. how to use imagination creatively( ) 5. what is the authors purpose in writing this passage?a. to highlight
