It’s reported that a company called MicroCHIPS has developed a wirelessly controlled device(装置). The device is put under the skin and can supply a drug directly into the patient’s body. People give the name “microchips” to it.

Doctors will program the device before putting it under the skin, and the device has the ability to release(释放) a dose (剂量) at a given time, every single day. One microchip can hold a full year’s worth of medicine.

Suppose you are reading a book. Suppose you suddenly close your eyes, can you still see the book? "Of course not." you will say. But can you tell why? You would p__【小题1】 say, "When I close my eyes, my e__【小题2】___ cannot get out of my eyes to get to the book." Many others might give an explanation(解释) very much like the above . But this explanation is w__【小题3】___.
