7.For a sight of an evolving technology that promises to shake video gaming to its foundation,check out"Throw Trucks With Your Mind".Unlike most video games,it doesn't rely solely on a mouse.Instead,its players also put on a headset that enables them to throw trucks or other virtual objects simply by thinking.
And that's just for starters.Advocates of so-called neurogaming(交感神经游戏)say the concept in a few years will combine a wide variety of physiological factors,from a player's heart rate and hand gestures to pupil dilation(瞳孔扩张) and emotions.Moreover,they imagine many such games being developed to improve the health,brainpower and skills of those playing them.
The electroencephalography(脑电波仪),or EEG,headset used to throw trucks and other objects onto enemies was made by San Jose,California.-based NeuroSky.It measures separate brainwave frequencies that reflect how focused the player is and how calm they are,according to Lat Ware of Emeryville,California.,who developed the game.The game,which can be purchased at www.throwtrucks.com,costs 25,or99with the headset.
Ware,29,said it's possible to move a pear or other small virtual object if the player is calm,but not focused,or vice versa.But he said both mental states are essential to flatten an enemy with a huge truck,which takes considerable concentration.
Although only a few neurogames have been introduced so far and their action tends to be fairly limited,the games are expected to become far more challenging-and multipurpose-as the software and related technology improves.
One concept being explored is to develop games that adjust their action according to the player's changing emotions.These are measured by such factors as their facial expressions,eye movement and skin-conductance(皮肤导电) levels.Another approach is to make games that influence how the player thinks and feels.
Consider Los Angeles-based Melon,which,like"Throw Trucks With Your Mind,"was recently launched via the online fundraising site Kickstarter.Melon officials say their first game--which challenges players to fold origami(折纸) with their mind,using NeuroSky's EEG headset--helps people"learn how to focus,relax and meditate better."
78.According to this article,what is the purpose of developing the new kind of gamesTo improvethehealth,brainpowerandskillsofthoseplayingthem?
79.The function of brainwave frequencies measured by EEG made by San Jose is toreflect how focused the player is and how calm they are..
80.According to Ware,if you want to throw something such as a truck,you must beboth calm and focused.
81.What is the new idea being studied to develop more challenging and multipurpose gamesDeveloping games adjusting players'action according to their changing emotions?

分析 本文是一篇介绍视频游戏中的新产品的科技说明文,文章介绍了新款游戏"Throw Trucks With Your Mind",以及会给我们带来哪些好处.
解答 78.To improve the health,brainpower and skills of those playing them.根据第三段最后一句"they imagine many such games being developed to improve the health,brainpower and skills of those playing them.(他们设想这样的正在研发中的游戏能改善健康、智能和技巧"可知研发的目的.由此判断答案.
79.reflect how focused the player is and how calm they are.根据第四段中"It measures separate brainwave frequencies that reflect how focused the player is and how calm they are"可知脑电波仪测量反应游戏者注意力集中和平静程度的脑电波的频率,由此得出答案.
80.both calm and focused.根据文章第五段可知,一个人平静但注意力不集中时或在注意力集中但不平静的情况下可以移动一个梨或小的虚拟物品;但是要移动巨大的卡车两种精神状态(平静和注意力集中)都是非常根本的,由此判断"移动大的卡车,平静和注意力集中都需要".
81.Developing games adjusting players'action according to their changing emotions.根据文章倒数第二段中"One concept being explored is to develop games that adjust their action according to the player's changing emotions.一个正在研究中的概念是开发随着游戏者情绪改变而调整动作的游戏;"可知答案.
