But one more has just been added - a communications blackout caused by solar storms. After a period of calm within the Sun, scientists have detected the signs of a flesh cycle of sunspots that could peak in 2012, just in time for the arrival of the Olympic torch in London. Now scientists believe that this peak could result in vast solar explosions that could throw billions of tons of charged matter towards the Earth, causing strong solar storms that could jam the telecommunications satellites and interact links sending five Olympic broadcast from London. "The Sun's activity has a strong influence on the Earth. The Olympics could be in the middle of the next solar maximum which could affect the functions of communications satellites," said Professor Richard Harrison, head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire. At the peak of the cycle, violent outbursts called coronal mass ejections occur in the Sun's atmosphere, throwing out great quantities of electrically-charged matter. " A coronal mass ejection can carry a billion tons of solar material into space at over a million kilometres per hour. Such events can expose astronauts to a deadly amount, can disable satellites, cause power failures on Earth and disturb communications," Professor Harrison added. The risk is greatest during a solar maximum when there is the greatest number of sunspots. Next week in America, NASA is scheduled to launch a satellite for monitoring solar activity called the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which will take images of the Sun that are 10 times clearer than the most advanced televisions available. The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory helped to make the high-tech cameras that will capture images of the solar flares and explosions as they occur. Professor Richard Hold away, the lab's director, said that the SDO should be able to provide early warning of a solar flare or explosion big enough to affect satellite communications on Earth "If we have advance warning, we'll be able to reduce the damage. What you don't want is things switching off for a week with no idea of what's caused the problem," he said.

His new idea is not only in the battery’s size, but also in its semiconductor (半导体). Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.

“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure (晶格结构) of the solid semiconductor,” Kwon said. “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”

Together with J. David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery. In the future, they hope to increase the battery’s power, shrink its size and try with various other materials. Kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.

61. Which of the following is TRUE of Jae Kwon?

A. He teaches chemistry at MU.         

B. He developed a chemical battery.

C. He is working on a nuclear energy source.

D. He made a breakthrough in computer engineering.

62. Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4 ______.

A. to show chemical batteries are widely applied

B. to indicate nuclear batteries can be safely used

C. to describe a nuclear-powered system

D. to introduce various energy sources

63. Liquid semiconductor is used to ______.

A. get rid of the radioactive waste

B. test the power of nuclear batteries

C. decrease the size of nuclear batteries

D. reduce the damage to lattice structure

64. According to Jae Kwon, his nuclear battery ______.

A. uses a solid semiconductor               B. will soon replace the present ones

C. could be extremely thin                  D. has passed the final test

  A man sits on a chair, with rubber pads(垫)tied to his head.Someone is going to fire an electric current through his brain.

  Sounds like a horror movie?Actually, the man is Telegraph journalist.Nick Collins.He is getting ready to test the newly-invented“electric thinking cap”.

  Professor Johansen Berg, a neurologist at Oxford University, has discovered that firing a tiny electrical current to part of the brain can help people learn faster.

  “It'S completely safe.The electric current is one thousand times lower than anvthing that could cause damage,”Kadosh,a researcher at Oxford University, told the Daily凇反Z eadier this year.

  In a test, 15 volunteers were taught to press a set of buttons in three different, orders.Just like playing the piano.Electricity was fired into the area of their brains that eontrols movement.It ran from the front part of the head to a point above the ear.The electricitv was kept on for 10 minutes while the volunteers completed a task.

  When the electric current ran in one diieetion, researchers found that volunteers leamed things 10 times more quickly.But if the current was sent the other way, their brain cells slowed down.

  The cⅡrf每ijIf畜药}:ects the movement area of the brain.This means the method can onlv improve people'S learning skills that have some.thing to d.o with that muscle, such as rowing a boat or playing the piano.But scientists say it could be used in other areas of learning, or even(中风).help people who have suffered a stroke(中风).

  The effects can last for about half an hour after the current is stopped.However, the researchers say that daily treatment could have a good, long-lasting effect.Electric caps could be produced SO that people could receive the treatment in clinics or even at home.

  “I'm sure there are lots of people who would like to raise their normal abilities,”

  Kadosh says.‘‘But should people be allowed to do this?It is all up for debate.''

Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. University of Missouri (MU) researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.

“To provide enough power, we need certain methods with energy density (密度),” said Jae kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU. “The radioisotope (放射性同位素) battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries.”

Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, recently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro/nano-electromechanical systems (M/NEWS). Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe.

“People hear the word ‘nuclear’ and think of something very dangerous,” he said. “However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems.”

His new idea is not only in the battery’s size, but also in its semiconductor (半导体). Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.

“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure (晶格结构) of the solid semiconductor, ” Kwon said. “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”
