Are you ready to experience life as it may be in the future?Here are some interesting points to learn about the future. Artificial intelligence:Many years down the road humans might not even be recognizable because artificial intelligence (also known as AI) will have combined with our natural states.Scientists are learning more about the human brain every day, and they are working toward making smart robots we can use to help us.Some people say that nanobots-supertiny robots-may help us in invisible (看不见的) ways in the future.They say they will be everywhere, outnumbering humans many times over! Nanotechnology:This is the ability to make tools and helpful robots that are a billion times smaller than we can see.Scientists have already made many nanosized tools that they can use.When this science is improved and becomes more common and affordable, it will change everything. Braintocomputer communication:Nanocomputers will probably be linked to your thoughts, voice and emotions, and be able to react to your needs.In the future people will rely on wireless technology and everyone and everything will be linked.Your brain will be able to receive information from computers to fill your head with knowledge or teach you new things.When you want to learn a new skateboarding trick or dance move, nanocomputers will send the information to your brain and allow your body to use the tips and apply them-no studying involved! Virtual reality:You already love virtualreality games-they make imaginary worlds in which you can play. But what if it allows you to have a cool new school?Virtual worlds are being created so computergenerated environments will allow you to learn school lessons with your teacher and your friends seemingly present without actually being there.Technology will give you a 3D image and link it to your brain in a way that makes you actually feel as if you were there. 1. The passage mainly introduces________. A. the use of robots in the future B. the importance of science and technology C. some technology in the future D. some ways to improve communication 2. What can we conclude from the second paragraph? A. The number of robots is greater than the number of humans. B. AI will bring about great changes to people"s lives. C. Nanobots will take the place of humans in some years. D. Scientists won"t stop learning about the human brain until AI is widely used. 3. The fourth paragraph introduces a new way of________. A. delivering and getting information B. school education C. exercising D. entertaining 4. We can most probably read this passage in________. A. a government report B. a scientific magazine C. a news report D. a research paper | |

Researchers from the University of Newcastle are leading a worldfirst study which builds on earlier unpublished research that children are most likely to be guided by their father"s eating and exercise habits. The new study "Healthy Dads,Healthy Kids",led by Associate Professor Philip Morgan from the designed to help fathers promote and demonstrate to their children positive behaviours related to physical activity and healthy eating. "The earlier findings showed that children are more likely to follow the example set by their father than their mother when it comes to eating and exercise," said Morgan. Morgan saw striking results in a previous trial involving 165 overweight children.He found children who lost the most weight had fathers who were engaged in the new eating and exercise plan. "We might think mothers are the main influence on children"s diet and health,but the reality may be different," said Morgan. "The roles of fathers are changing.More families have two parents working and more fathers are involved with food preparation and food shopping than in the past." "Fathers influence the food and physical activity habits in the home through their behaviours,attitudes and approach to food and eating,and act as a role model to their children," said Morgan. Researchers are inviting fathers who would like to reduce their weight to join the "Healthy Dads,Healthy Kids" program.Participation involves attending eight sessions (讲习班) at the University of Newcastle over six months where the men will receive information,have weightrelated measurements recorded and complete questionnaires. Cooking healthy food with the kids and creating a backyard fitness circuit (循环训练场) are among the assignments (课外作业) for fathers taking part in the study. | |
