(A)
I just hope that our brains won’t crash(死机). Are you working on your typing skills to make you a more efficient worker? That may be all for nothing as Intel believes that we’ll be able to control our computers with our brains by 2024.
Intel and its research partners are studying how brain acts when it thinks. For example, scientists have found that people’s brains react in a similar manner when asked to think of a bear.
Through sensors(感应器)that can find this sort of brain activity, Intel thinks that it will be able to read and translate this into an input system thanks to a chip in the brain.
“We’re trying to prove you can do interesting things with brain waves. ” Intel research scientist Dean Pomerleau told Computerworld. “Eventually people may be willing to be more devoted to brain implants(植入物). Imagine being able to surf the Web with the power of your thoughts. ”
Even if thinking about a bear isn’t enough to show that you want to copy and paste something. Intel still thinks that there’s a future in using your brain instead of the keyboard.
“If we can get to the point where you can accurately find specific words, you could mentally type, ” he added. “You could compose characters or words by thinking about letters flashing on the screen or typing whole words rather than their individual characters. ”
While this may all sound impractical for present time, Intel thinks that it’s possible and something we’ll all want.
“I think human beings are unusually adaptive, ” said Andrew Chien, vice president of research and director of future technologies research at Intel Labs. “If you told people 20 years ago that they would be carrying computers all the time, they would have said, ‘I don’t want that. I don’t need that. ’Now you can’t get them to stop carrying devices. There are a lot of things that have to be done first, but I think implanting chips into human brains is well within the scope of possibility. ”
Make good use of your favorite mouse and keyboard set-up before they’re old-fashioned. (427W)

A. brain implants will not be accepted

(B)
(原创)A bicycle made almost entirely of cardboard has the potential to change transportation habits from the world’s most crowded cities to the poorest reaches of Africa, its Israeli inventor says.
Izhar Gafni, 50, is an expert in designing automated mass-production lines. He is an amateur cycling enthusiast who for years considered an idea of making a bicycle from cardboard.
After much trial and error(反复实验), his latest model has now proven itself and mass production will begin in a few months.
“I was always fascinated by applying uncommon technologies to materials and I did this on several occasions. I worked for four years to get rid of the cardboard’s weak structural points, ” Gafni said.
“Making a cardboard box is easy and it can be very strong and durable(耐用的), but to make a bicycle was extremely difficult and I had to find the right way to fold the cardboard in several different directions. It took a year and a half, with lots of testing and failure until I got it right, ” he said.
Once the shape has been formed and cut, the cardboard is treated with a secret mixture made of organic materials to give it its waterproof(防水的)and fireproof qualities. In the final stage, it is coated with paint for appearance.
In testing the durability of the treated cardboard, Gafni said he dipped a cross-section(横截面)in the water
for several months and it kept all its hardened characteristics.
Once ready for production, the bicycle will include no metal parts, even the brake mechanism and the wheel and pedal bearings will be made of recycled substances.
Gafni owns several top-of-the-range bicycles which he said are worth thousands of dollars each, but when his own creation reaches mass production, it should cost no more than about $20 to buy. The costs of materials used are estimated at $9 per unit. (295W)
6. The bicycle mentioned in the passage .
A. is made completely of cardboard
B. is made by a professional designer
C. will only change transportation habits of the people in the cities
D. will be mass-produced within a year

A. was crazy about putting some technologies to use
B. worked for four years before he could fold the cardboard in several directions
C. made a cardboard bicycle as easily as a box
D. took a year and a half to remove the cardboard’s weak structural points
8. Izhar Gafni dipped a cross-section in the water for several months to test whether it was .
A. water-proofing B. fire-proofing
C. durable
D. foldable
