6.Charles Chaplin,who died in 1977,is considered one of the greatest and funniest actors in the history of the cinema.During his lifetime,he acted in 13films,and he wrote,directed and acted in 69other films.
Chaplin was born in London in 1889.When a poor boy,he was often seen waiting outside the London theaters,hoping to get work in show business.He could sing and dance,and above all,he knew how to make people laugh.But he couldn't get work and therefore wandered about the city streets.Sometimes he was sent away to a home for children who had no parents.
Charlie Chaplin first acted when he was five.He broke into show business because his mother,a music-hall performer,lost her voice during the performance and had to leave the stage,and Charlie went on and sang a well-known song.Halfway through the song a shower of money poured onto the stage.Charlie stopped singing and told the audiences he would pick the money first and then finish the song.The audiences laughed.This was the first of millions of laughs in Charlie Chaplin's fabulous career(神话般的生涯).
Twenty years later the same Chaplin became the greatest and best loved comedian in the world.His dream came true in the end.Chaplin became world-famous and almost a king in the world of the film.
Even people who don't understand English can enjoy Chaplin's films because they are mostly silent.The equipment for adding sound to films had not yet been developed.The development of films with sound became a problem for Chaplin,as he was uncertain about making films with dialogues.Instead,he continued to make films without dialogue,but he added music,which he wrote himself.It isn't what he says that makes us laugh.His comedy doesn't depend on words.It depends on little actions which mean the same thing to people the world over.
Chaplin's later films,however,were not well received.Chaplin lived most of his life in America and the last years in Switzerland,where he was buried at Christmas 1977,at the age of eighty-eight.There was sadness all over the world at the news of his death.
In his book,Chaplin tells us how to succeed in life.He says,"You have to believe in yourself.That's the secret."

25.Chaplin is regarded as king of comedy mainly becauseC.
A.he acted out the common human situations best in his comedy
B.he could sing and dance well
C.he knew how to make people laugh

B.Neither his words nor actions
C.Either his words or his actions
D.Not only his words but also his actions

4.I am an English dictionary.I can still remember the day my ex-owner bought me.He had stood in front of the shelf for around half an hour before finally picking me.Originally,he chose my neighbor.But because she had some ink on the cover,he put her down and chose me instead.
I may sound arrogant (傲慢的).But please forgive me.I am so proud of my vocabulary.With 100,000entries and 300,000examples,I think no scholar can be more knowledgeable than me.My only weakness is that I can't speak.But that is not my fault.I was not designed to speak in the first place.My ex-owner was supposed to read the phonetic symbols (音标) clearly printed beside each word,which were also my selling point.I should have been respected but have ended up lying next to a piece of used toilet paper inside the rubbish bin.
It is all because of the electronic dictionary.He is the bad guy because he takes advantage of my one weakness.And I just don't understand why he can be so slim.He also has about 100,000entries but 450,000examples!But I know this was not the reason why my ex-owner was attracted,for he was not a very diligent (勤奋的) student and seldom read the examples listed.The main reason was that the bad guy had so many games in him.My ex-owner always pretended to be working hard while actually he was playing games.
My ex-owner put me on his bookshelf because of my awesome English name"Advanced English Dictionary".He wanted people to think that he was an advanced learner.I wanted to tell him that it would be better if he hid the comic books standing next to me.But,you know,I can't speak.I stood there for years.I was so bored.So I talked to the comic book next to me.Under normal circumstances,I wouldn't have talked to him because I was educated and he was not.But who else could I choose?He told me that my ex-owner had read him once only and then put him there.I was upset because he had never read me from page one to page 1,000.Was I not a better book than the comic book?I wanted to challenge his honesty but before I did so,he was thrown away.
I give up.My pages are absorbing waste water.There is no way people will use me again.Suddenly,I want to talk to the comic book.Would he talk to me if we met?

Since the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface (界面) (BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.

Recently, two researchers, Jose Milan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic schooling Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated(展示)a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person's thoughts.

In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.

"Our brain has billions of nerve cells. These send signals through the spinal cord(脊髓)to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles," Tavella says.  "Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices."

The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain.
     Prof. Milan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. "The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices.  One example is this wheelchair."

He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.

1.BCI is a technology that can _________________.

A. help to update computer systems

B. link the human brain with computers

C. help the disabled to recover

D. control a person's thoughts

2.How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?

A. By controlling his muscles.

B. By talking to the machine.

C. By moving his hand.

D. By using his mind.

3.The team will test with real patients to                         .

A. make profits from them

B. prove the technology useful to them

C. make them live longer

D. learn about their physical condition

4.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A. Switzerland, the BCI Research Center

B. New Findings About How the Human Brain Works

C. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the Disabled

D. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries
