Since the 1970s,scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Braincomputer interface (BCD technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.
Recently,two researchers,Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne,Switzerland,demonstrated (展示) a small robotic wheelchair by a person's thoughts.
"Our brain has billions of nerve cells. They send signals through the spinal cord (脊髓) to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can pre?vent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles," Tavella says. "Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices."
The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp (頭皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify 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 re?ceives brain signals and turns them into simple commands. "The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped into two categories,communication and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair."
He says his team set two goals. One is testing with real patients,so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technolo?gy over long periods of time.
( ) 5. BCI is a technology that can .
A. help to update computer systems B. link the human brain with computer
C. help the disabled to recover D. control a person's thoughts
( ) 6. 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.
( ) 7. Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 4?
A. scalp—computer—cap—wheelchair B. computer—cap—scalp—wheelchair
C. scalp—cap—computer—wheelchair D. cap—computer—scalp—wheelchair
( ) 8. The team will test with real patients to .
A. make profits from them B. prove the technology useful to them
C. make them live longer D. learn about their physical condition
( ) 9. Which of the following would be the best title for the test?
A. Switzerland,the BCI Research Center

C. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the Disabled
D. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries

The very last topic any parent wants to discuss is cancer. In fact,wouldn't it be wonderful if the topic never had to be broached? Unfortunately,few among us haven't been touched,in some way,by the disease.
One teacher at Howell's,Land O'Pines School decided last year to make a learning experience out of cancer awareness,and with the help of his fellow teachers,has succeeded in taking a terrible subject and turning it into something that allows the children to make a difference while helping others.
The Hats on Day project began a decade ago in Missouri when a fifthgrade class wanted to raise money to help a fellow classmate battling cancer. The children wanted to raise awareness about the effects of chemotherapy (化療) and decided to wear hats to show their support for people who lose their hair while undergoing treatment for cancer.
During the 10 years since the first Hats on Day,the project has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for children with cancer. Raymond Gredder,a fifthgrade teacher at Land O'Pines,heads up the program locally. As part of the project,Land O'Pines students are asked to bring in monetary donations this week that will be contributed to the Foundation for Children with Cancer.
This is the second year Land O'Pines is participating in the Hats on Day project. Last year the Student Council organized the weeklong collection and raised more than $2,000. This year Gredder is running the program through the fifth grade health curriculum. He believes it is extremely important for children to be involved in events such as Hats on Day that promote an awareness and understanding of people in need.
