　　 　b: i am going for a walk. are you coming with me?

　　 　a: yes, i am just coming. wait for me.

　　　 i am going to book a ticket.

　　　 另一意义是表示“预见”，即现在已有迹象表明将要发生或即将发生某种情况。

　　　 george is putting on weight, he is going to be quite fat.

　　3. 用will/ shall do表示将来：

　　 　主要意义，一是表示预见。

　　　 do you think it will rain?

　　 　二是表示意图.

　　 　i will not lend the book to you.

　　 　take it easy, i will not do it any longer.

　　 　基本结构：

　　iii、阅读练习

catv

　　catv is a short way saying “community antenna (公用天线) television”. but “cable　television” is the name most people use. cable television allows viewers(观众) to receive tv  programs that they can not pick up with their ordinary antenna.

　　television signals (信号) do not follow the curve(曲线) of the earth. they travel in straight lines in all directions. signals from a tv station move towards the horizon(水平线) and then go into space. if you live only a few miles from a tv station, you may get a good picture on your set. but if you live more than 50 miles from a station, you may not get any pictures at all.

　　catv began in 1948. people in places far from tv stations had to pay for putting up high antennas. a community antenna was usually placed on a hill, a mountain or on a high tower. the antenna picked up tv signals and fed them into a small local(当地的) station. from the station, thick wires called cable ran out to nearby homes. each person using the cable paid a monthly charge(费用).

　　catv worked well, and soon new uses were found for it. local stations could feed programs into empty channels that were not in use. people along the cable could have local news, weather report, and farm and school news at no extra charge.

　　today, cable television has moved into cities. it brings in extra programs that city viewers with ordinary antenna can not see. it is also used in many classrooms throughout the country.
