By the year 2050,you might actually get your wish-if you are willing to leave your biological body and live in silicon circuits (半导体电路). But long before then, perhaps as early as xx,some measures will begin offering a semblance of immortality (虚的永生). Researchers are confident that the technology will soon be able to track every waking moment of your life? Whatever you see and hear, all that you say and write, can be recorded, analyzed and added to your personal chronicles (履历). By the year 2030, it may be possible to catch your nervous systems through electrical activities, which would also keep your thoughts and emotions. Researchers at the laboratories of British Telemunications have given the name of this idea as Soul Catcher. Small electronic equipment will make preparation for Soul Catcher. It would use a wearable superputer, perhaps in a wristwatch, with wireless links to microseosors under your scalp (头皮) and in the nerves that carry all five sensory signals. So wearing a video camera would no longer be required. At first, the Soul Catchers panion system-the Soul Reader-might have trouble copying your thoughts in plete details. Even in 2030, we may still be struggling to understand how the brain is working inside, so reading your thoughts and understanding your emotions might not be possible. But these signals could be kept for the day when they can be transferred to silicon circuits to revitalize minds everlasting entities (永生实体). Researchers can only wonder what it will be like to wake up one day and find yourself alive inside a machine. For people who choose not to live in silicon, semblance of immortal it would not be as useless as they thought. People would know their lives would not be forgotten, but would be kept a record of the human race forever. And future generations would have a much fuller understanding of the past. History would not be controlled by just the rich and powerful, Hollywood stars, and a few thinkers in the upper society.48. According to this passage, a Soul Catcher will be_ .A. a new machine on which research measures have already been madeB. a new invention in order to catch and keep humans thoughtsC. made by British scientists to offer something that looks like living foreverD. made of silicon circuits which can catch peoples nervous activity49.

Silence may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or, worry.

In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority, persons in Asian culture may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they e across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patients silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.51.

Speech Is Silver; Silence Is GoldDI have a particular lunch bag kept with me for maybe 14 years. But actually it belongs to my daughter, Molly. Soon after she came of school age, she became an enthusiastic participant in packing lunches for herself, her brothers and me. Each bag got a share of sandwiches, apples, milk money and sometimes a note. One morning, Molly handed me two bags, one regular lunch sack(袋子) and the other one with paper clips(纸夹) on it.“Why two bags?”“The other one is something else.”“Whats in it?”“Just some stuffs(东西). Please take it with you.” she replied and then I put both sacks into my briefcase, kissed the child and rushed off.At midday, after having my lunch from one bag, I opened the other one and shook out the contents. Two hair ribbons, three small stones, a plastic dinosaur, a tiny seashell, two animal crackers, a marble, a used lipstick, a small doll, two chocolate kisses and 13 pennies.I thought they were useless, and then threw them into the wastebasket .That evening Molly came to stand beside me while I was reading the paper.“Wheres my bag?”“What bag?”“You know the one I gave you this morning.”“I left it at the office, why?”“I forgot to put this note in it.” She handed over the note, “Besides, I want it back.”“Why?”“Those are my things in the sack, Daddy, the ones I really like. I thought you might be ver y happy to play with them like me, but now I want them back. You didnt lose the bag, did you, Daddy?” Tears welled up in her eyes.“Oh, no. I just forgot to bring it home,” I lied, “Bring it tomorrow. Okay?”As she hugged my neck with relief, I found the words on the note “I love you, Daddy.” I felt moved as well as a little ashamed. I looked at the face of my child for a long time.Molly had given me her treasures all that a 7-year-old considered important. That was “Love” in a paper sack. But not only had I missed it, but also I had thrown it away because “there wasnt anything in there I needed.”The next morning, after kissing my girl, I hurried to my office. I picked up the wastebasket and poured the contents on my desk. I gently washed the musta
