In a few years, you might be able to speak Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French, and English
— and all at the same time. This sounds incredible, but Alex Waibel, a computer science professor at US's Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and Germany's University of Karlsruhe, announced last week that it may soon be reality. He and his team have invented software and hardware that could make it far easier for people who speak different languages to understand each other.?
One application, called Lecture Translation, can easily translate a speech from one language into another. Current translation technologies typically limit speakers to certain topics or a limited vocabulary. Users also have to be trained how to use the programme.?
Another prototype(雏形机) can send translations of a speech to different listeners depending on what language they speak. “It is like having a simultaneous translator right next to you but without disturbing the person next to you,” Waibel said.?
Prefer to read? So-called Translation Glasses transcribe(转录) the translations on a tiny liquid-crystal(液晶) display(LCD) screen.?
Then there’s the Muscle Translator. Electrodes capture the electrical signals from facial muscle movements made naturally when a person is mouthing words. The signals are then translated into speech. The electrodes could be replaced with wireless chips implanted in a person's face, according to researchers.?
During a demonstration held last Thursday in CMU's Pittsburgh campus, a Chinese student named Stan Jou had 11 tiny electrodes attached to the muscles of his cheeks, neck and throat. Then he mouthed — without speaking aloud — a few words in Mandarin(普通话) to the audience. A few seconds later, the phrase was displayed on a computer screen and spoken out by the computer in English and Spanish: “Let me introduce our new prototype.”?
This particular gadget(器械),when fully developed, might allow anyone to speak in any number of languages or, as Waibel put it, “to switch your mouth to a foreign language”. “The idea behind the university's prototypes is to create ‘good enough’ bridges for cross-cultural exchanges that are becoming more common in the world,” Waibel said.?
With spontaneous(自发的) translators, foreign drivers in Germany could listen to traffic warnings on the radio, tourists in China could read all the signs and talk with local people, and leaders of different countries could have secret talks without any interpreters there.?
Which of the following statements is not TRUE?
A. A lecture translation can translate what you said into other languages easily.?
B. There is no Muscle Translator in the world now.?
C. Muscle Translators can translate what you think into speech if you just move your mouth.?
D. The spontaneous translators will help us a lot.
What kind of equipment is NOT mentioned in this passage?
A. Lecture Translation.
B. Muscle Translator.?
C. Multiple Translator.
D. Translation Prototype.
What’s the final destination of inventing the language translators??
A. To make cultural exchanges between different countries easier.?
B. To help students learn foreign languages more easily.?
C. To make people live in foreign countries more comfortably.?
D. To help people learn more foreign languages in the future.
What can be inferred from the seventh paragraph?
A. The translator is so good that it can translate any language into the very language you need.?
B. The translator is becoming more and more common in the world as a bridge.?
C. With the help of the translator, you only need to open your mouth when you want to say something without saying the exact words at all.?
D. The translator needs to be improved before being put into market.
Where can this passage probably be excerpted from?
A. A newspaper.
B. A magazine on science.?
C. A fairy tale.
D. A scientific fantasy book.

Gmail tmned five years old this week．It's somewhat amazing to think we've only had it since 2004; Gmail changed the webmail game forever by offering features we now take for granted: a streamlined interface （界面]） , powerful search, pioneering use ofAjax and a then-huge 1 GB of mailbox space． “You'll never need to delete another message " was how Google described it at the time．
Back then, I was still making do with Hotmail．But its clumsy interface and tiny amount of storage space made the decision to move on an easy one．Getting an account made all the difference in the world to my email experience．Suddenly I was freed from having to delete emails every few days to make space in my mailbox．And the app（application） was smooth and responsive, like a desktop client （客户端程序）—and pretty fast in comparison to Hotmail．" Conversation view" and using labels instead of folders took a little getting used to, but in all Gmail felt far more professional and made me much more productive．
Gmail is a favorite app of ours ever on WebWorkerDaily, and with good reason．It's still the best webmail client for web workers as it lets us access our email whenever and wherever we need to, on any device, with minimum effort．And Google hasn't spent the five years sitting on its Gmail success, either, but has introduced improvements to the service that include Gmail Tasks, chat, video chat and voice chat, combined with Google Calendar and Docs, Google Apps for Domains, and, of course, even more storage．We've recently covered the many features found in Gmail Labs: a way to "undo" seat messages, using canned responses for smart autoresponders, offline support using Gears and how to customize the way you．view your mailbox using multiple inboxes．

科目：高中英语 来源：2011山西省介休市高三模拟考试英语试题 题型：阅读理解
Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will learn a musical instrument or ballet or other classes which will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is , the better it is. So the parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education . Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.
Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack (缺乏) self-respect and self-confidence.
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents aren’t teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident , happy and clever.
Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing housework.
Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It’s an enjoyable but difficult experiment. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually to finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.
Some old machines , such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your children to play with will make him curious (好奇) and arouse his interest He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities aren’t merely teaching a child to read a book , but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.
1..
Parents in China, according to this passage,_________.
A. are too strict with their children

A. come from their parents

A. the parents’ idea of educating their children
