以Is Stress a Bad Thing?为题写一篇英语短文。要点如下:
1.有的人害怕压力;
2.有的人认为压力并不是一件坏事;
3.我的看法。
注意:词数100左右。
“I can't stand the pressure and
competition,” explained one friend of mine when asked why he decided to quit
his highly-paid but demanding position in his company recently. My friend may
have his own reasons, but I don't think his decision is wise in reality.
Some people are afraid that the stresses and strains of work will rob them of joy and happiness and do them harm both physically and mentally. However, stress isn't the bad thing that is often supposed to be, unless it gets out of control. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and challenge. Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. What we can do is to develop our adaptive abilities to deal with it rather than to escape from it.

Since the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface(BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.
Recently, two researchers, Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated(展示)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 nerve ceils. These send signals through the spinal cord(脊髓)to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”
The researchers 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 interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify 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 interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. “The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. 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 benefit from. And the other is to make sure that they can use the technology over long periods of time.
【小题1】BCI is a technology that can______.
A.help to update computer systems | B.link the human brain with computers |
C.help the disabled to recover | D.control a person's thoughts |
A.By controlling his muscles. | B.By talking to the machine |
C.By moving his hand. | D.By using his mind. |
A.scalp→computer→cap→wheelchair | B.computer→cap→scalp→wheelchair |
C.scalp→cap→computer→wheelchair | D.cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair |
A.make profits from them | B.prove the technology useful to them |
C.make them live longer | D.learn about their physical condition |
A.Switzerland, the BCI Research Center |
B.New Findings About How the Human Brain Works |
C.BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the Disabled |
D.Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries |
