Experts predict that more and more people will be wearing microcomputers，connected to the Internet，in the futurePeople will have microchips in various parts of their body，which will connect them to a wide variety of gadgets (小装置)Perhaps we should not exaggerate(夸大)the importance of technology，but one wonders whether，in years to come，we will still be falling in love，and whether we will still feel painWho knows? 31 Kismet is different from traditional robots because A it thinks for itself B It is not like science fiction C it can look after twoyear-old D it seems to have human feelings 32 What makes Cog special?

A It is too large B It is toot hick C It cant be used in online transactions D It doesnt have a loudspeaker 38 Which of the following statements about the earlier card is true? A Its owner can change the ID code freely B Its user does not need to key in the ID number C It can record its users spoken password D It still can be used by someone else after being stolen 39 What is the advantage of the new voice card? A It recognizes only its owners spoken password B It doesnt need to work with an online server C It requires less ID information D It has a playback function 40 What can we learn from the last paragraph about the voice card?
