Recently, scientists have developed a wireless brainmachine interface that help restore communication to people who can no longer speak by reading brainwaves using electrodes(电极) stuck on their heads. Unfortunately, these have proved very slow, at roughly one word typed per minute, making normal conversations and social interactions virtually impossible.

    Scientist Frank Guenther and his colleagues reveal a brainmachine interface that uses electrodes implanted directly into the brain for research into real time speech.

"It should soon be possible for extremely paralysed individuals who are incapable of speaking to produce speech through a laptop computer, " said Guenther.

The scientists worked with a 26-year- old male volunteer who experience near-total paralysis due to a stroke he suffered when he was 16. They implanted an electrode that had two wires into a part of the brain that help plan and execute movements related to speech. The electrode recorded brain signals when the volunteer attempted to talk and the wires spread them across the scalp(头皮)to help drive a speech synthesizer (合成器). The delay between brain activity and sound output was just 50 milliseconds on average, roughly the same with regular speech.

"He was quite excited, particularly on the first few days we used the system, as he got used to its properties, " Guenther recalled." I am sure the work proceeds slowly from his perspective, as it does from ours. Nonetheless, he was very excited about getting real-time audio feedback of his intended speech and happy to work very hard with us throughout the experiments."

"The current system uses data from just two wires. Within a year it will be possible to implant a system with 16 times as many." Guenther said." This will allow us to tap into neurons(神经元),which in the end means better control over a synthesizer and thus better speech."

In the study of Guenther, electrodes are _______.

fixed on the heads                  B. put into the heads

C. tied to the heads                        D. separated from the heads

   The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 4 refers to _______.

movements           B. wires        C. brain signals        D. Scientists

   What might be the best title for the passage?

 Wireless Device Are Used to Read Words in the Brain.

 New Equipment Helps you read others’ mind.

 Virtual tongue can make you speak fluently.

 It is no secret what you are thinking in mind.

 Easy isn’t a word the disabled use very much. Nothing is easy when you’re in a wheelchair or when you’re blind. But Karen Mitchell knows legs aren’t needed to walk the waves. “I forget about my disability, ”Mitchell says about sailing. And Janice Bartleson doesn’t need eyes to see the wind.

     US Olympic gold medalist Magnus Liljedahl says sailing is one of the few sports where the disabled can leave their disability on the dock and be as good as anyone else. “The first half of my life, I was mainly concerned about myself, ” Liljedahl says. “But when we leave we can’t take anything with us, so it’s important to give back to the community. ”

    Working in partnership with Miami’s non-profit Shake-a-Leg Foundation, more than 3, 000 disabled people every year are getting a chance to forget their disabilities and feel spray (浪花)in their faces.

     Liljedahl believes the reward is in the journey. And for him, this journey has been a rich one. “I’ve really learned to appreciate life by seeing what they’ve got to deal with, ”he says. And he’s also become a better sailor. It’s a story you often hear from volunteers. Helping others often helps them more. It reawakens senses dulled over time because the able-bodied take those senses for granted.

    At the dock, all seem to enjoy the chance to get their feet wet. “It gives me a feeling of independence and freedom, ”Manuela Hoyos says, “I feel free from my wheelchair. ”

56. Which of the following is TRUE about Shake-a-Leg Foundation?

A. It helps the disabled make money.

D. Manuela Hoyos is a volunteer at the dock

Youth volunteers from Beijing University visited Songtang Hospital,a care clinic for the aged and dying patients,during the second Global Youth Service Day on April 21.

Thirty student volunteers from the university’s School of International Studies sat at the beds of the patients in their specially-decorated “careful huts”.They talked with them and gave massages to patients kept in their beds.

“I felt sorry that I could not offer more to these people than talking with them and trying to cheer them up,”said Deng Yetao,20,a third-year student.“But it occurred to me that they need more care and love than babies.They are afraid of the coming death.Their loneliness is worse than physical pains.”

“Even though they are suffering a lot,the majority of the elderly people want to talk to us.Each of them has a lot of life experiences and philosophies to share.Instead of doing them a favor,I felt I was gaining a valuable lesson,”said Mao Xiaohua,another third-year student.

The fact that most of the patients in the 80-room clinic are aged people with diseases which will lead to death soon made the volunteers hearts heavy.

Ninety-one percent of the patients will spend the last days of their lives in the clinic,according to a survey by the hospital.“For people at this stage of their lives,loneliness is even more dreadful than death itself,”said Li Wei,president of the hospital.

Daily visits and services by social workers and youth volunteers are a very important part of their programme.A total of 330 000 Beijing students from 119 universities and colleges have visited the hospital.Many continue to offer services in their spare time.Some of them volunteer to hold the hands of dying patients during the last minutes of their lives.

Yin Hang,a student from Beijing Medical College,said he felt “the glory of life”as he saw the fading smile on the face of the old man who passed into a deep unconsciousness while he was holding his hands.

Inside the pleasingly fragrant cafe, So All May Eat(SAME) in downtown Denver ,t

he spirit of generosity is  instantly noticeable: donation box stands in place of

a cash register customers here pay only what they can afford, no questions asked.

A risky business plan, perhaps, but SAME Café has done one unchangeable thing i

n the MileHigh City for six years: Open only at midday, the restaurant allows p

oor local customers who cannot pay to work as volunteers instead. They can act as

waitersandwaitresses,anddishwashers, or look after the buildings and equipment

for the cafe.It’s based on trust, and it’s working all right”, says co-owne

h menu changs daily and most food materials are natural and grown by local farm

ers. The café now averages 65 to 70 customers (and eight volunteers) a day. And

the spirit of generosity behind the project appears to be spreading. In early 

2007,one volunteer who hadcleared snow for his meals during the long winter sai

d goodbye to the Birkys.He said he was going to New Orleans to help with the hu

rricane clearing up,” says Birky.
