【题目】Since the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to connect the brain with computers. Brain-computer Interface (BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.
Recently, two scientists, Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytehnic School in Lausanne, Switzerland, showed a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person’s thoughts. In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.
“Our brain has billions of body cells(细胞). These send signals through the spinal cord(脊髓) to the body part to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the body part.” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with outer world and also to control machines.”
The scientists designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer finds meanings of the signals and commands the wheelchair with an engine. The wheelchair also has two cameras that tell objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain.
Prof. Millan, the team leader, says “Scientists keep improving the computer software that finds meanings of brain signals and turns them into simple commands. The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two kinds: communication, and controlling objects. One example is this wheelchair.
He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can get advantages from. And the other is to ensure that they can use the technology over a long period of time.
【1】BCI is a technology that can _______.
A. help to update computer systems B. control a person’s thoughts
C. help the disabled to recover D. connect the human brain with computers
【2】How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?
A. By controlling his muscles. B. By using his mind.
C. By moving his hand. D. By talking to the machine.
【3】Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 4?
A. scalp→cap→computer→wheelchair B. computer→cap→scalp→wheelchair
C. scalp→computer→cap→wheelchair D. cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair
【4】The team will test with real patients to_______.
A. make money from them B. prove the technology useful to them
C. make them live longer D. learn about their physical condition
【5】Which of the following statements is FALSE?
A. Scientists have been looking for ways to link the brain with computers.
B. The wheelchair designed by Millan and Tavella is directed by a person’s thoughts.
C. Spinal cord injuries can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the body part.
D. The wheelchair has been put in use and benefited real patients.

【题目】 Check off the Four Corners
Arizona,Utah,Colorado and New Mexico are not simply the only four American states that meet at a single point, but they also host the US's greatest concentration of national parks.
This is the place to come for that classic scene of the lonely desert road extending to the horizon. On your way,take in such sights as the Monument Valley and the mysterious remains of centuries-old civilizations in Colorado’s Mesa Verde.
Find beauty in the desert
With many miles of excellent roads,a self-drive trip in Namibia makes total sense. Plan a route north from capital Windhoek to wildlife-rich Etosha National Park,before crossing Damaraland to reach the Skeleton Coast. The most impressive desert views are in the Namib-Naulduft National Park to the south. At Sossusvlei,the landscape takes on the quality of a surrealist painting.
Cross half a continent
The 1,761-mile-long Stuart Highway runs north to south through Australia’s Red Centre. It is not a road where every turn shows new wonders ; the reward of this trip comes in the gradual change in your surroundings, from red soils’ in Australia’s outback to the tropical (热带的) leaves of the Indian Ocean coast.
Take the high road
Among all the crashing of continental plates that raised up the Canadian Rockies, a 144-mile route was left more or less clear at their center. The Icefields Parkway now passes through this amazing scenery; with the access it brings to icy lakes, waterfalls and icefields, the section between Banff and Jasper has a good claim to being the most scenic in the world.

A.In Australia's Red Centre.
B.In the Canadian Rockies.
