novel b. report c. website d. storycin a book called magnificent obsession, by lloyd c. douglas, a description is given of people helping others but doing it secretly. when difficult problems worried a person, friends nearby would meet to discuss possible solution without the person knowing their actions. when a solution was agreed upon, one or two of the friends would carry out the plan and solve the problem secretly, to the great delight of the worried person. the helpers would stand by privately, content with their success. no reward was given to the problem solvers, not even a sincere “thank you”, because they were never known.this idea is popular today but in a different way. the phrase “pay it forward” is now used when one person helps another. however, the person helped may not be able to repay the person or group that helped them. so rather than return the favor to their helpers, they are supposed to help someone else in the future, which means they pay it forward. it is a sense of responsibility(责任) which makes us want to give back in equal measure to the one who has helped us. but, in this case, the responsibility turns to helping someone in the future.suppose your elderly grandmother pays part of your schooling. she may tell you there is no need to repay her because it is a gift from someone who loves you very much. nothing would please her more than to have you use her money to get a good education.you may never be able to repay her for such a gift. however, she not only gave you some money, but she provided you with an example that you should also help other people who need it.people with serious needs are everywhere. many are children who need better clothes, more books and even better schools. some are elderly people who cant afford their medicine or a doctors care. consider how you can “pay it forward” rather than pay money back to your grandmother.33. the helpers in the book “magnificent obsession” were not rewarded because _. a. they hadnt

to “pay it forward” d. nowadays many people help others without being repaid dsince the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to connect the brain with computers. braincomputer interface(bci) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines. recently, two scientists, jose millan and michele tavella from the federal polytehnic school in lausanne, switzerland, show a small robotic wheelchair directed by a persons 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 body cells(细胞). these send signals through the spinal cord(脊髓) to the body part to give us the ability to move. but spinal cord injuries(脊柱受伤) or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the body part.” tavella says. “our system allows disabled people to communicate with outer world and also to control machines.” the scientists 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 finds meanings of the signals and commands the wheelchair with an engine. the wheelchair also has two cameras that tell 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 finds meanings of brain signals and turns them into simple commands.” the practical possibilities that bci technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two kinds: communication, and controlling objects. 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 get advantages from. and the other is sure that they can use the technology for long.37. bci is a technology that can_.a. help to make computer systems more modernb.
