18．In 2001，Matt Nagle was a 25-year-old football star．Then one night he had a bad accident．He was badly hurt．He could not do anything alone from then on．Matt couldn't even breathe by himself．Doctors kept working to make better equipment（设备）for people like Matt to stay alive．Science labs kept doing research to try and find answers．They were trying to make machines to help paralyzed（瘫痪的） patients．A company that does research on brains was searching for ways to use brain waves．They chose Matt as the first person to try a new experiment．They wanted to use machines to work from inside the brain．
In June 2004，the doctors implanted a chip（芯片） in Matt's brain．This chip could run machines with his thoughts．Matt was supposed to be able to send simple messages to a computer with this chip，and he was able to change channels on the TV，play computer games and turn lights on and off．He could do all of these things just by thinking about them．
Matt worked for months to get the messages to move from his brain to the computer．It was very hard．The doctors were worried that the chip might injure Matt．Matt kept trying．He wanted to fight to make things better for himself and other people like himself．

17．It may be possible to enjoy a higher standard （标准） of living if you have a small family．There are clear advantages to having a small family．H（86）owever，there can also be serious disadvantages if it is a small family．The parents have big responsibilities （责任） of raising children by themselves if they have no help from other family m（87）embers．Today，it is quite common for both parents to work full time in order to pay for the basic cost of living of family．When the parents come home，they are often very t（88）ired from a hard day at work．Still，they have to take care of the children，cook，clean，wash clothes，shop，etc．
When there is only one parent，of course the responsibilities of looking after the children are much h（89）arder for him or her．They have to work out all the things by themselves．They just hope that everything goes right every day．More and more，people in small families have been trying to create their own extended families （大家庭） to meet their needs．They often try to develop a net-work of friends and neighbors to be part of their self-created extended family．For example，small families may celebrate holidays t（90）ogether and，if there are children，they may share responsibilities of child raising．Your child might go to a neighbor's h（91）ouse or apartment after school on certain days，and then you would do something in e（92）xchange to help your neighbor out．Many of these arrangements are very successful and helpful for those families．
