4.The first part of a new science-fiction series (系列剧)was shown on NBC last night.Star Trek is about a spacecraft(宇宙飞船)which travels faster than the speed of light.The show is developed from three ideas about the 22nd century.First,we'll find other life forms great tools which will make amazing things possible.
Let's think about these predictions.If we find life forms on other planets,will they be intelligent?I hope so.But we human beings might not be friendly-I don't think we'll believe in the idea o fpeace one hundred years from now.But this is science fiction,so we can be optimistic!And Star Trek's idea of life in the future is‘communicators'.And we will be ablt to have conversatins with people who are on because you'll have an electronic notebook.And if you get ill,the doctor won't have to examine you-a machine will‘read'your body.The strangest manchine includes a‘teleport'which will take people to a different placein a second!
The ideas are interesting,and in my opinion there's only one problem with star trek:the acting.The TV company (公司)will have to get better actors.If they do that,the show might be a success.If the acting doesn't improve,Star Trek won't last for more than one series.Of course,my prediction may be wrong.I can't see into the future!

分析 这是一篇说明文.
第一部科幻系列剧昨晚在NBC上映.《星际迷航》是关于一个比光还要快的宇宙飞船.电视是根据22世纪的三个想法拍摄的.首先,我们会发现令人惊奇的其他生命形式.让我们想一下这些预言.如果寻找其他星球上的生命形式,它们会聪明吗?我希望是.但是我们人类可能不友好.我认为我们不会相信一百年和平这个想法.但是这是科幻小说,所以我们可以保持乐观!和《星际迷航》的生命是交流器.我们将能跟有交流器的人交流,因为你有一个电子笔记本.如果你生病,医生不用检查就可以"读"到你的身体.瞬间移动的机器可以在一秒之内把人带到另一个地方.想法是有趣的,在我看来难题只有一个--就是《星际迷航》的演技.电视公司将不得不用更好的演员.如果他们这样做,这个节目可能成功.如果演技不改善,《星际迷航》不会持续超过一个系列.当然,我的预言可能是错的,我看不到未来!
