After we read article “How Do Computers Work?” we
can found some active voice and passive voice sentence. We ho pe the sentence
that we found are correct. This is some sentence that we found:Active voice1. Thomas
Watson, boss of the giant IBM Corporation, reputedly forecast that the world
would need no more than "about five computers.
2. What
makes computers flexible enough to work in all these different appliances?
3. How come they are so phenomenally useful?
4. how
exactly do they work?
5. What
is a computer?
6. She
is so good that everyone she knows posts their math problems to her
7. she
goes to her letterbox and finds a pile of new math problems waiting for her
attention
9. she
takes a letter off the top of the pile, studies the problem, works out the
solution, and scribbles the answer on the back.
10. She
puts this in an envelope addressed to the person who sent her the original
problem and sticks it in her out tray, ready to post.
11. Then she moves to the next letter in the pile.
You can see that your friend is working just like a computer.
12. What
is a computer program?
13. You
just give it your instructions (called a program) and off it goes, performing a
long and complex series of operations all by itself.
14. What's
the difference between hardware and software?
15. What
is an operating system?
16. the
computer then works through all the
pixels.
17. your
computer probably has an LCD screen capable of displaying high-resolution (very
detailed) graphic.
Passive voice:
1. To be fair to Watson, computers have changed enormously in that time
2. They
are embedded in everything from microwave ovens to cellphones and digital
radios.
3. Her
letterbox is her input; the pile on her desk is her memory; her brain is the
processor that works out the solutions to the problems; and the out tray on her
desk is her output.
4. if
you wanted a home computer to do almost anything at all, you had to write your
own little program to do it.
5. They're
"soft" in the sense that they are not fixed:
6. and
that's why millions of us can no longer live without them!
7. In
the 1940s, they were giant scientific and military behemoths commissioned by
the government at a cost of millions of dollars apiece
8. They are embedded in everything from microwave
ovens to cellphones and digital radios
9. What makes a computer different from a
calculator is that it can works all by itself.
10. Performing along and complex series of
operations all by itself.
11. By contrast, a computers hardware the bits and
pieces from which it is made (and the peripherals, like the mouse and printer,
you plug into it)
12. Is
usually written by the hardware manufacture
13. the
operating system that definitively made this breakthrough was, of course,
Microsoft Windows, written by Bill Gates.
1. To be fair to Watson, computers have changed enormously in that time
