Brain-computer Interface（BCI）technology could help people with disabilities（残疾） send orders to machines（机器）.Recently, two researchers, Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne, Switzerland, showed a small robotic wheelchair（机器轮椅） directed by a persons thoughts.In the laboratory（实验室）, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand. He could even talk as he watched the wheelchair and guided it with his thoughts.“Our brain has billions of nerve cells（神经细胞）. these send signals（信号） through the spinal cord（脊髓）to the muscles（肌肉）to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord in juries（受伤） or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with outside world and also to control the machine.”The researchers 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 understands the signals and directs the motorized（机械化的） wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that recognize objects in its path. They help the computer react to orders from the brain.Prof. Millan,the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that understands brain signals and turns them into simple orders. “The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be divided into two kinds: communication, and controlling the machine. One example is this wheelchair.”He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients（病人）, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to ensure that they can use the technology over long periods of time.（ ）28. How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?A. By controlling his muscles. B. By talking to the machine.C. By moving his hand. D. By using his mind.（ ）29. Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?A. scalpcomputercapwheelchair B. computercapscalpwheelchairC. scalpcapcomputerwheelchair D. capcomputerscalpwheelchair（ ）30. The team will test with real patients to .A. make profits form them B. prove the technology useful to themC. make them live longer D. learn about their physical condition（ ）31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Switzerland, the BCI Research C B. New Findings About How the Human Brain WorksC. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the DisabledD. Computer Technology Could Help to Cure Brain InjuriesDHome to me means a sense of familiarity（熟悉） and nostalgia（怀旧）. Its fun to come home. It looks the same. Youll realize whats changed is you. Home is where we can remember pain（痛）, love and some other experiences: We parted here; My parents met here; I won three championships（冠军称号） here.If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding low glass-top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first bedroom. Its empty（空的）, but its where my earliest memories are.There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays and where I cried on Halloweenwhen I didnt want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the house, my parents room. It is simple: a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone（区域）. I can jump on it anytime waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement（宣告） that cannot wait until the morning.Im lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart, on a physical property（住宅）on West 64th Street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof I lived, I grew, and I learned.Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know its where Ill find my family, my dogs, and my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know Ill be blamed by Mom. But I dont mind, because I want to hear her say my name, which reminds me Im home.（ ）32.
