Lego, the inventor of those colorful bricks（积木） that have inspired kids’ imaginations world-wide, has celebrated its 50th anniversary.

On January 28, 1958, a man named Godtfred Kirk Christiansen created the plastic building bricks that can now be found in almost every child’s toy box. The simple building block has become one of the most well-known and popular toys around the world.

“The Lego brick continues to be very attractive, because it allows children, and others, to develop their creativity and imagination,” said Charlotte Simonsen, a spokeswoman of the Danish Lego company.

The company’s building bricks allow an endless number of links. With just two bricks there are 24 different links, and with six, there are 915 million possibilities, according to Lego.

A half-century after its creation, more than 400 million children and adults spend five billion hours a year putting the bricks together and pulling them apart. Also, the bricks made today can still interlock with those made in 1958.

Lego bricks are not just child’s play: they also attract the interest of adults. South Korean adventurer, Heo Young-Ho, who climbed Mount Everest in 1987, left a Lego toy behind in the snow during his climb.

After its great success，Lego experienced a severe crisis at the end of the 1990s, hit hard by fierce competition from electronic games. This so-called “Toy of the Century” then suffered a dark period that lasted several years.

With great efforts, the company began to prosper(繁荣、发展) again, and in 2006 it earned about 1.5 billion dollars in 130 countries. Seven boxes of Lego are now sold every second around the world, and 19 billion bricks are produced each year: enough to encircle the Earth five times！

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 cells. 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 guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.

46. 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

47 .How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?

A. By controlling his muscles.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. By talking to the machine.

C. By moving his hand. D. By using his mind.

48.Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?

A. scalp → computer → cap →wheelchair

B. compute → cap → scalp →wheelchair

C. scalp → cap → computer →wheelchair

D. cap → computer → scalp →wheelchair

49.The team will test with real patients to ________.

A. make profits from them B. prove the technology useful to them

C. make them live longer D. learn about their physical condition

50.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

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

A 33-year-old financial analyst in California recently quit his job to devote himself to an unpaid job teaching math on the Internet, and his lessons are reaching almost 100,000 people a month. Salman Khan’s voice is heard every day on the net --- by tens of thousands of students around the world who are hungry for help learning math. He has posted 1,200 lessons on YouTube ... lessons that appear on an electronic blackboard, which range from basic addition to advanced mathematics for science and finance. And they are free.

Khan lives in Silicon Valley, with his wife, a doctor, and their new baby. He got the idea for his “Khan Academy” four years ago, when he taught a young cousin how to convert kilograms to grams. With Khan’s help, the cousin got good at math, and Khan began a new career.

Now, Khan records his lessons himself, but he never goes on camera. “It feels like my voice in their head. You’re looking at it and it feels like someone’s over your shoulder talking in your ear, as opposed to someone at the blackboard, which is distant from you,” he said.

When Springfield High School in Palo Alto, California invited Khan to speak in person --- he immediately connected to the students there.

The idea of short lessons that can be played over and over again attracted high school senior Bridget Meaney. She says she had trouble with math in the seventh grade. “I think the teachers are good, but they can’t teach at a speed that’s perfect for everyone,” she said. “I like the idea of learning something in class but then going back and pressing pause or rewind and actually getting a deeper understanding of it.”

Originally, Khan kept his lessons short because of YouTube restrictions. Now, he thinks short is better. “Education researchers now tell me that 10 minutes is how long someone can have a high level of concentration. And anything beyond that and your brain switches off,” he said.

For Khan, teaching math, science, and finance is just the beginning. He says he’s ready to expand his YouTube site to include other subjects as well.

41. What gave Khan the idea of teaching math online?

A. His success in helping his cousin learn math.

B. His discovery that many students found learning math difficult.

C. A suggestion made to him at a local high school.

D. His interest in Internet teaching.

42. Why does Khan never go on camera?

A. He’s too shy to show his face on camera.

B. It’s restricted by YouTube for education videos.

C. He wants to keep distance from the viewers.

D. He wants to create a more relaxed learning atmosphere（气氛）.

43. From the passage, we know that ________.

A. Khan travels to many schools to promote his lessons

B. Khan plans to include more subjects in the future

C. Khan gives live math lessons every day for free

D. Khan set up the Khan Academy with his wife

44. Why does Bridget Meaney like Khan’s lessons?

A. Khan teaches seventh grade math better than her teacher.

B. The lessons can be watched repeatedly until fully understood.

C. She can perfectly follow the pace of Khan’s teaching.

D. She cannot concentrate when learning in class.

45. What does Khan mean by “short is better” in the 6^th paragraph?

A. Keeping the lessons short can ensure better concentration.

B. YouTube recommends short lessons for its site.

C. Short lessons encourage students to return to the website.

D. Students enjoy short mathematics lessons more.

Since I started high school, there have been many misundertandings between my parents and me. They think I am in puppy love (早恋).

They secretly check my text messages and listen in on my phone conversations. They also talk with my class teacher and keep telling me how bad puppy love is. What my parents have done drives me so crazy that I have had several violent quarrels with them. I know they are trying to protect me from being hurt, but I just feel they are ignoring my need for privacy and independence.

I don't want this to go on, so I have decided to take some action. I on purpose leave my text message and diaries about for them to read. I stay in their sight while I am talking on the phone and avoid joking with boys. I spend more time at home studying than hanging out and trying my best to improve my school performance.

Gradually, my parents have started to calm down. They hardly ever check my messages any more and allow me to talk with male classmates. I am happy that they are beginning to trust me.

In our life, misunderstandings happen at times and bother us. But if we can put our feet into other’s shoes and take positive action, a misunderstanding can be a chance to achieve better understanding.
