27、Tetraplegic paticnts (those who can’t move their upper or lower body) are prisoners of their own bodies. Now a robot arm is to help them interact with their world.This research was completed by researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL). Professor Aude Billard and Jose del R. Millan worked together to create a computer program that can control a robot using electrical signals from a patient’s brain.

First, the user wears an EEG cap to have their electrical signals inside their brain scanned(扫 描)effectively, which are then interpreted by the machine-learning algorithm (算法).The computer then sends signals to the robot arm to determine how it moves. As the robot arm performs a motion,the algorithm is looking to get feedback from the user when it makes a mistake: perhaps it moved too fast, or too violently. The end goal is that the robot can learn the right movements for a task in a given context. For example, you might want the arm to use a bit of force to throw a paper ball, but you might want it to be gentler when putting glass bottles.

In the team’s research, they trained the robot arm to pick up a glass. The arm would move towards the glass and the user’s brain would decide if they felt it was too close or too far away. The process is repeated until the robot understands the optimal route for the individual’s preference - not too close to be a risk but not so far away to waste movement.

“Training an algorithm to read brain waves in a consistent fashion was the most challenging part, because the brain is not only focused on the hand but also processing many other things,” said Millan. “This means our algorithm will never be 100 % accurate.”

The researchers hope to eventually use their algorithm to control wheelchairs, which would allow people in wheelchairs to have greater control over their movements, speeds and general safety. However, this does require contirtency.over time frour the algorithm.

【1】Which paragraph mentions the working process?

A．Paragraph 1.

B．Paragraph 2.

C．Paragraph 3.

D．Paragraph 4.

【2】What does the underlined word “optimal” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Indirect.

B．Best.

C．Regular.

D．Alternative.

【3】How can the accuracy of reading brain waves be improved?

A．By controlling people’s brain.

B．By ensuring general safety.

C．By processing other information.

D．By gaining data continuously.

【4】What could be the best title of the text?

A．This robot arm can read your mind.

B．Robot arms control your movement.

C．Algorithm finds cure for the disabled.

D．Machine-learning algorithm can train robots.

28、How to Enjoy Life As a Teen

The “best years of your life”? Maybe not, but you can learn to make the most of your high school days.

【1】 Whether it’s having a computer, having friends, having a good supply of food, or simply being born in this world. Remember that the point of life is for you to enjoy it. And these are the last few years you will be able to enjoy yourself without having a worry about the responsibility and never want to go back.

Choose your friends wisely. 【2】 In fact, many of the “friends” you have when you are hot are not true friends. Try to have friends that like you for who you are, not just because you are wearing a certain brand of shoes or something like that.

Be sociable. Participating in clubs, activities, and sports increases your chances of meeting new friends. 【3】 Participating gives you something to do instead of sitting bored at home and wallowing(沉溺于)in self-pity.

Develop interests you enjoy. Video games, for example, are good if you’re the type who can get into that kind of thing. 【4】You can either volunteer to gain useful skills for college challenges or learn something in the creative field like painting or dance. 【5】

A．Learn to appreciate small things.

B．Enjoy the pleasure before it’s too late.

C．Therefore, be happy, and life will reward you.

D．You should also find a hobby that is meaningful or practical.

E．You don’t have to be popular and have a troop of friends to be happy.

F．This is the time to start developing and uncovering passions that might otherwise lie still.

G．While you only need 4 or 5 close friends, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to meet new people.

The meaning of silence varies among cultural group. Silence may be 【1】, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every 【2】 with conversation.

In these culture, silence is a call for 【5】.

Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with 【6】 among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show 【7】between parties about the topic under discussion.
