be able to let your brain experience the sensations of a new place without actual going there. robots and computer simulation（模仿）will enable you to visit remote exotic places without ever leaving home-the wreckage of the titanic, the galapagos island, even the moon.as an oceanographer, ive spent decades developing robots to explore the depths, and now were putting that technology to use in our jason project, a cooperative effort between industry, science, and educators thats designed to be a world classroom for children. in auditoriums throughout the country, we bring kids together and transmit back to them on large screens our live explorations of far-flung areas of the globe. not only are the kids observers, but they truly participate. they have the sensation of really being at the site with us-through the “eyes”, “ears”, and motions of the robot.this year were taking the project to the galapagos islands. the galapagos are an exceedingly fragile environment, so fragile that only 60,000 people are allowed to visit them each year. but with jason we will be able to let some 300,000 children experience those unique islands.i believe advances in robot technology will one day be the key to an entirely new kind of travel. in the next 10 or 15 years i foresee people having rooms in their houses that will be able to simulate other environments. i like to call these rooms “home domes”-miniature theatres with wrap-around screens and sophisticated equipment that can reproduce the sights, sounds, smells, and feel of a desert, or a forest, or a meadow in high mountains.today, much of the worlds population never travels more than 50 or 60 miles from home. and even a person with abundant wealth and time can see only a fraction of the earths sights. but this new era of travel will cost so much less in both time and money that many more people will be exposed to a lot more of the globe. and simulated travel will help protect our planet. you cant take large groups of tourists trooping up to look at dian fosseys gorillas. but a small robot can get very close to a silverback and send the sights, sounds, and smells back to a million people.i like to use this analogy（类比）to compare traditional travel with future travel: riding a horse is wonderful, but i dont need to ride one to work anymore. thats how i feel about traditional travel. sometimes i still might want to hop on a plane and see a place firsthand, but sometimes i may simply want to walk into my home dome and take the trip from there.58. which statement best expresses the main idea of this article?a. protecting fragile environments like the galapagos islands.b. building home domes to meet peoples desire of travellingc. traveling globally without even leaving home in the future.d. owning rooms called “home domes” to be put into reality.59. according to the article, simulated travel _.a. is a piece of equipment made for travelingb. provides virtual access to actual travelingc. has a negative effect on future environmentd. will be available in around fifty years time60. which question is not answered in the article?a. why is the “home dome” designed and produced?b. when might a “home dome” be available to us?c. what will be like in a “home dome” in future?d. how much does a “home dome” probably cost?cboston school officials plan to notify parents at four schools that their children may have drunk water tainted with lead from drinking fountains that were mistakenly turned on before water testing was complete.the fountains were active for as little as several hours to as long as three weeks.boston public schools recently launched a $300,000 project to repair and upgrade plumbing(管道系统) so that fountain water could be restored at six buildings that had been using bottled water.the facilities were selected for the pilot program because prior tests indicated lead levels that were below state and federal standards, school officials said.however, testing conducted in recent months found elevated lead levels in at least one fountain at four of the six schools, namely mather elementary school in dorchester, lee k-8 school in dorchester,curley k-8 school in jamaica plain,another course to college in brighton. lead contamination was also found at a fifth school, but officials dont believe anyone drank from the fountains.school officials had previously told the globe that none of the new fountains had been turned on since being installed. but they had learned in recent days that the fountains had been mistakenly activated, they said wednesday.officials blamed a lack of communication between employees of the school districts facilities department and a third-party contractor.the fountains are now shut off in all six schools. bottled water is being provided there instead, officials said.the four schools where children may have drunk water with high lead levels are: mather elementary school, lee k-8 school, curley k-8 school, and another course to college. “bps is communicating with families at the schools about these circumstances and their options if they are concerned about potential exposure to lead in drinking water,” said a statement from boston public schools.school officials said automated phone calls were to be made to families at the affected schools thursday afternoon and that letters would also be mailed home.in the meantime, school officials continue to investigate why water from the new fountains has high lead levels, a process that may cause the project to run over budget.officials had hoped the new fountains would produce long-term savings by allowing the schools to drop their costly reliance on bottled water. most boston schools use bottled water because of past lead concerns. the city expects to spend $415,000 this school year alone to provide bottled water.four other schools that were still using tap water were recently found to have high lead levels in fountains. the affected fountains were shut off and replaced with bottled water.children are particularly vulnerable when it comes to lead. exposure has been linked to iq deficits, shortened attention spans, behavioral problems, hearing damage, stunted growth, and lowered birth weight.officials said they were also contacting parents at trotter innovation school in dorchester and boston green academy in brighton, the two other schools in the fountain restoration project.at trotter, high lead levels were found, but officials believe no one drank from the fountains. at boston green academy all six fountains tested had lead levels below the
