A man had seven sons, who were always quarreling. They left their studies and work, to quarrel among themselves. Some bad men were looking forward to the death of their father, to cheat them out of their property(财产) by making them quarrel about it.

The good old man, one day, called his sons around him. He laid before them seven sticks, which were tied together. He said, “I will pay a hundred dollars to the one who can break this bundle(捆).”

Each one tried their best to break the bundle. After a long but useless efforts, they all said that it could not be done.

“And yet, my boys,” said the father, “nothing is easier to do.” He then untied the bundle, and broke the sticks, one by one, with perfect ease.

“Ah!” said his sons, “It is easy enough to do it so; anybody could do it in that way.”

Their father replied, “As it is with these sticks, so it is with you, my sons. So long as you hold fast together and help each other, you will be much richer, and none can harm you.

“But if the brotherhood bundle is broken, it will happen to you just as it has to these sticks, which lie there broken on the ground.”

Scientists have created a way to control a robot with signals from human brain.By generating the proper brainwaves—picked up by a cap with electrodes (电极) that sense the signals and reflect a person’s instructions—scientists can instruct a humanoid(类人的) robot to move to specific locations and pick up certain objects.

The commands are limited to moving forward,picking up one of two objects and bringing it to one of two locations.The researchers have achieved 94 percent accuracy between the thought commands and the robot’s movements.

“This is really a proof?of?concept demonstration,” said Rajesh Rao,a researcher from the University of Washington who leads the project.“It suggests that one day we might be able to use semi?autonomous robots for such jobs as helping disabled people or performing routine tasks in a person’s home.”

The person wearing the electrode cap watches the robot’s movements on a computer screen through two cameras installed on and above the robot.

When the robot’s cameras see the objects that are to be picked up they pass on the information to the user’s computer screen.Each object lights up randomly on the computer screen.When a person wants something picked up and it happens to light up,the brain registers surprise and sends this brain activity to the computer and then to the robot.The robot then proceeds to pick up the object.

A similar algorithm(计算程序) is used to decide where the robot will go.

“One of the important things about this demonstration is that we’re using a ‘noisy’ brain signal to control the robot,” Rao said.“That means we can only obtain brain signals indirectly from sensors on the surface of the head,not where they are generated deep in the brain.As a result,the user can only generate high?level commands such as indicating which object to pick up or which location to go to,and the robot needs to be autonomous enough to be able to execute such commands.”

In the future,the researchers hope to make the robots more adaptive to the environment by having them carry out more complex commands.

1.What is special about the robot introduced in the passage?

2.Which of the following is TRUE about the robot?

B.It can move forward,pick up both objects and bring them to either location.

C.It can only move forward,pick up one object and put it in one location.

D.It can read all human thought demands and do as instructed.

3.What Rao said suggests that the new robot________.

A.is still at its early stage of development

B.will be widely used in our daily routine soon

C.is autonomous enough to complete complex commands

D.is only limited to doing routine work at home

4.The sixth paragraph mainly describes ________.

A.how the robot reacts to a person’s instructions

B.how the robot picks up the right object

C.the functions of the computer
