　　A small group of people around the world have started implanting( 移植)microchips to link the body and the computer．

　　Mr．Donelson and three friends-who had driven 100 miles from their homes in Loockport, New York, to have the implants put in by Dr Jesse Villemaire, whom they had persuaded to do the work, are part of a small group-about 30 people around the world, who have independently put in microchips-into their bodies-according to Web-based reports．

　　At a shop Williarn Donelson was having a four-millimeter-wide needle put into his left hand．”I’m set-” he said with a deep breath．He watched as the needle pierced〔刺穿)the fleshy webbing between his thumb and forefinger and a microchip was set under his skin．At last he wou1d be ab1e to do what he had long imagined：strengthen his body’s powers through technology．

　　By putting the chip inside--a radio frequency identification device(RFID)－Mr．Donelson would have at his fingertips the same magic that makes safety gates open with a knock of a card-and bridge and tunnel traffic flow smoothly with an E-ZPass．With a wave of his hand he plans to connect with his computer-open doors and unlock his car．

　　Implanting the chip was a relatively simple task but very meaningful to Mr．Donelson-a 21-year-old computer networking student so interested in the link between technology and the body that he has data-input jacks(数据输入插空)inside his body．They might lead to an imagined future when people can be connected directly into computer．His new chip is enclosed in a glass container no bigger than a piece of rice and has a small memory where he has stored the words“Technology”．

　　Some doctors have done the piercing in people’s homes-and others have implanted chips in their offices after patients signed forms showing the fact that long term studies have not been done on their safety．Piercers treat the implants much like any other medical operation steps, instructing people to keep the site dry, and advising them that swelling(肿)and redness should last a week．

　　When people get bad toothaches, they often have to eat soft, easily chewed food．When lions get bad toothaches, they eat people? That' s the conclusion of a zoologist at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago and a dentist who works on carnivores(食肉动物),Lions don’t normally prey on people．Every once in a while, however, a lion will go on a human-eating diet．The most famous such tragedy happened in 1898, when two lions killed and ate 135 railway workers in Kenya．

　　Examining the preserved skulls(骷髅)of the two big cats, zoologist Bruce Patterson and dentist Ellis Neiburger found that both animals had been suffering from several dental and |aw problems．One lion had three missing teeth and a loose, unsteady lower canine that was probably useless．Canines are pointed teeth that hunting animals use for gripping and piercing prey(刺穿猎物))．

　　The two lions might have been so badly disabled that they couldn’t bite down forcefully, say the researchers．Consequently, the lions might have abandoned their normal, more difficult prey and turned to humans．"Humans are easy preys, " said Patterson．"We're very slow, we don’t hear very well, and we don* t see very well in the darkness．"

　　The research calls their idea the Infirmity Theory．It was inspired partly by the work of Jim Corbett, a tiger hunter in India in the 1930s．Corbett was regularly called in to hunt tigers that had been dining on Indian villagers．Time after time, Patterson discovered that the killer tigers were suffering from some ill-healthy conditions．
