Cathy is a tetraplegic. She has not been able to move her arms, legs or speak since suffering a stroke(中风)nearly fifteen years ago. Recently, she learned how to control a robotic arm using her thoughts. She now can use brain activity to serve herself a drink.
The American woman is one of two people who took part in a research project known as BrainGate2. The researchers have spent years studying how to help people who are disabled regain movement in their arms and legs.
John Donoghue is a neuroscientist with Brown University and also was part of the project. He said, “People like Cathy have their brain disconnected from their body. So they are not able to go out and do everyday things that you and I can do, like reach for a glass of water or scratch your nose. Our idea is to avoid that damaged nervous system and go directly from the brain to the outside world, so the brain signals can, not control muscles, but control machines or devices like a computer or a robotic arm.”
The two disabled people had small sensors connected to the part of the brain that controls movement. The devices measured brain activity and sent that information to a computer. The computer has special software that turns the information into digital commands for operating other devices. The researchers used a highly developed robotic arm to recreate human actions.
The BrainGate team had its first success in 2006. A tetraplegic stabbing victim was able to use the brain—computer system to control a computer mouse. John says the latest development using robotic arms is a major victory.
A video of the latest experiment shows Cathy using the robotic arm to pick up a cup of coffee. She guides the cup toward her mouth, moves it forward and drinks through a straw.
Lead researcher Leigh Hochberg said the first time she did it was a magic moment.
The research team carried out almost 200 tests with two different robotic arms, which were able to pick up their target objects 43% to 66%of the time.
The researchers are calling the information very promising. But they say it will take years to fully develop the technology for everyday use.
1.What kind of symptoms may a tetraplegic have?
A. He/She may suffer from amnesia and a loss of concentration.
B. His /Her part of body may become sore and swollen.
C. He/She may get frequent headaches or backaches.
D. He/She can’t move his/her arms or legs and has no ability to speak.
2.How does the robotic arm work?
A. brain signals small sensors muscle a robot arm
B. brain signals the nervous system musclea robot arm
C. brain signals small sensors a computer a robot arm
D. brain signals the nervous system a computer a robot arm
3.What can we know from this passage?
A.The technology had been put into use before 2006.
B.It won’t be long before the technology comes into daily use.
C.The two robotic arms couldn't pick up their target objects.
D. Quite a few experiments have been conducted for the technology.
4.What's the purpose of the research project?
A.To help the disabled people to move and speak.
B.To help the brain-computer system to control a computer mouse.
C.To help the disabled people use brain activity to serve themselves a drink.
D.To help the disabled people to get movement like having their arms and legs again.

Ever walked to the shops only to find, once there, you’ve completely forgotten what you went for? Or struggled to remember the name of an old friend? For years we’ve accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of aging as wrinkles and gray hair. But now a new book suggests that we’ve got it all wrong.
According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s — much later than previously thought.
Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we keep them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years it’s been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise.
This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive (认知的) tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically, older people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words you can remember) and problem solving. Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual speed — how fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.
Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with aging. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when we’re younger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get older we’ve learned our lessons and are aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy.
1.Barbara Strauch probably agrees that ______.
A. people’s brains work best between their 40s and 60s
B. the young are better at handling important things
C. aging leads to the decline of the function of the brain
D. wrinkles and gray hair are the only symbols of aging
2.The continuing research has found older people perform better on ______.
A. perceptual speed B. vocabulary tests
C. number ability D. body balance
3.People are happier with aging because ______.
A. they know how to share feelings
B. they learn to value the time left
C. they cannot focus on negative aspects
D. they do not realize the possible dangers
4.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. People get happier with age.
B. People get more self-aware with age.
C. People get wiser with age.
D. People get more forgetful with age.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
California is dry. The sunny state is suffering from a four-year drought — a serious and unusual lack of rainfall. The effects of the drought can be seen most clearly in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains. Much of the state’s water supply comes from the deep snow that falls in these mountains. That snow melts in the spring and fills the state’s rivers, lakes, and underground bodies of water. 1. .As a result, experts are now warning that California currently has only a one-year supply of usable water. Today we are standing on dry grass where there should be five feet of snow.
2. .That means people will have to limit their water use at home. They can do this by not watering lawns and reducing how much water they use for cleaning and cooking. 3. Places like golf courses currently use a lot of water to keep lawns green. They’ll need to find solutions for this problem that require less water.
California’s water crisis has been caused mainly by a lack of rain and snowfall over the past few years. 4. . Today, California is home to nearly 40 million people. This is double the number who lived there in 1960.
California simply has too many people for its natural resources. 5. . Many people have moved to the state because of its natural beauty and pleasant weather. And several major businesses are based in California, including Hollywood movie companies such as Warner Bros. and technology giants like Apple.
The drought is not likely to destroy California’s businesses, but the state will have to rethink how it grows and does things.
A. People can benefit a lot from this terrible drought.
B. This serious drought needs immediate action.
C. Nature has prepared so much for people.
D. Mother Nature didn’t intend for so many people.
E. But the snow hasn’t been falling.
F. But another big problem is its growing population.
G. Some public places will need to make big changes.
