1.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."

Watching a 3D movie can more than double the concentration powers and the cognitive(认知的)process of children,new re-search claims.

A study by visual technology firm Read and led by child psychologist Dr Richard Woolfson and associate lecturer at Goldsmiths Patrick Fagan suggests that children aged between 7 and 14 experienced twice the cognitive processing speed and performed better in tests after watching 20 minutes of a 3D film.

This suggests that children's attention spans have shortened in the last decade due to unlimited access to entertainment,including on-demand TV,gaming and social media.

A 2015 study claimed that watching 3D content had a similar effect to brain-training exercises.

Consumer psychologist Mr Fagan said that the increased stimulation found in watching something in 3D "exercised" the brain and improved performance in the short term.

3D films can play the role of brain-training "games and help to make children 'smarter' in the short term," he said. "The response speed after watching 3D was almost three times as quick as that gained from watching 2D; in other words,3D helps children process aspects of their environment more quickly.This is likely because 3D is a mentally exciting experience which 'gets the brain's juices flowing'."

1.How do we know the benefits of watching a 3D film?

A. Through introduction. B. By taking an exam.

C. Through research. D. By watching TV shows.

2.What's the meaning of the underlined word "stimulation" ?

A. Excitement. B. Contents.

C. Cost. D. Time.

3.Why does 3D have an advantage over 2D?

A. The time of watching 3D is short.

B. 3D can increase the reaction speed.

C. 3D can make children adapt the surroundings more quickly.

D. 3D can make more brain's power

4.What may be the best title for the text?

A. How 3D forms B. What are 3D films

C. A study on 3D films D. 3D films benefit children
