BI just hope that our brains wont crash(死机). Are you working on your typing skills to make you a more efficient worker? That may be all for nothing as Intel believes that well be able to control our computers with our brains by 2020. Intel and its research partners are studying how brain acts when it thinks. For example, scientists have found that peoples brains react in a similar manner when asked to think of a bear. Through sensors(感应器)that can find this sort of brain activity, Intel thinks that it will be able to read and translate this into an input system thanks to a chip in the brain. “Were trying to prove you can do interesting things with brain waves. ”Intel research scientist Dean Pomerleau told Computerworld. “Eventually people may be willing to be, more devoted to brain implants(植入物). Imagine being able to surf the Web with the Power of your thoughts. ”Even if thinking about a bear isnt enough to show that you want to copy and paste something. Intel still thinks that theres a future in using your brain instead of the keyboard. “If we can get to the point where you can accurately find specific words, you could mentally type, ”he added. “You could compose characters or words by thinking about letters flashing on the screen or typing whole words rather than their individual characters. ”While this may all sound impractical for present time, Intel thinks that its possible and something well all want. “I think human beings are unusually adaptive(适应的), ”said Andrew Chien, vice president of research and director of future technologies research at Intel Labs. “If you told people 20 years ago that they would be carrying computers all the time, they would have said, I dont want that. I dont need that. Now you cant get them to stop carrying devices. There are a lot of things that have to be done first but I think implanting chips into human brains is well within the scope of possibility. ”Make good use of your favorite mouse and keyboard set-up before theyre old-fashioned. 54. What are Intel and its partners doing at present? A. Controlling our computers with our brains. B. Working on typing skills to improve efficiency. C. Studying how the brain behaves when it thinks. D. Finding how the brain reacts when it thinks of a bear. 55. According to Dean Pomerleau, we can learn that. A. brain implants will not be accepted B. he holds negative attitude to the researchC. mentally typing will be possible in the futureD. people need a period of time to accept the new idea56. Computers were taken for example by Andrew Chien (in the last but one paragraph) to prove_. A. nothing is impossible B. mankind has great powerC. society is always changing D. human beings can adapt very well57. In the last paragraph, the author probably means that. A. there will be no mouse or keyboard any moreB. new kinds of mouse and keyboard will appearC. human brains will replace the present computersD. the mouse and keyboard should be used to the fullCA popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, thats not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesnt matter if the words come from someones else or ourselves - the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometimes. Were usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldnt be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh（刻薄的）and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesnt pass this test, then its better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem（自尊）and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.58. The main idea of the first paragraph is that _.A. not sticks and stones but words will hurt us B. inspiring words give us confidenceC. negative words may let us down D. words have a lasting effect on us59. There is no sense for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because _.A. almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselvesB. we can benefit from talking to ourselvesC. talking to ourselves always gives us courageD. it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone60. The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely _A. praise ourselves B. remind ourselvesC. make ourselves relaxed D. give ourselves amusement61. The author would probably hold the view that _A. encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offersB. negative words may stimulate us to make more progressC. people tend to remember friendly wordsD. it is better to think twice before talking to othersDSomething that has always interested me about Abraham Lincoln is, not surprisingly, his sense of humor. As far as I can tell, hes the first American President to have one. Thats because the term “sense of humor” really wasnt in common usage until the eighteen sixties and seventies. In the eighteen forties and fifties, it was called “the sense of the ridiculous”, and didnt have the positive connotations(隐含意义) that “sense of humor” has today. Back then, what was ridiculous was what invited ridicule(讥笑). Funni
