　　On the first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know.I looked round when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.I turned around to find a wrinkled，little old lady with a smile.She said，“Hi，handsome.My name is Rose.I’m eighty­seven years old.Can I give you a hug？”I laughed and enthusiastically responded，“Of course you may！” She gave a giant squeeze.“Why are you in college at such a young，innocent age？”I asked.“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one！”she told me.After class we walked to the Student Union building and shared a chocolate milkshake.We became instant friends.

　　Every day of the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop.I was always listening to this ?time machine? as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.Over the course of the year，Rose became a campus icon(偶像) and she easily made friends wherever she went.At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football dinner.I’ll never forget what she taught us.“We do not stop playing because we are old；we grow old because we stop playing.There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.Anybody can grow older.That doesn’t take any talent or ability.The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunities in change.Have no regrets.The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did，but rather for things we did not do.The only people who fear death are those with regrets.” She concluded her speech by courageously singing “The Rose”．She challenged each of us to study the lyrics(歌词) and live them out in our daily life.At the year’s end she finished the college degree she had begun all those years.One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.

　　(2016·江西南昌三中高三月考)

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

　　Recently，two researchers，Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic School in 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.Millan，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.

　　5．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

　　6．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.

　　7．Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?

　　A．Scalp→computer→cap→wheelchair.

　　B．Computer→cap→scalp→wheelchair.

　　C．Scalp→cap→computer→wheelchair.

　　D．Cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair.

　　8．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

　　Ⅱ.七选五

　　On holidays you’re likely to eat and overeat between family gatherings，office parties and celebrating with friends.

　　9

　　Here are some tips to help you enjoy holiday food without completely changing your diet：

　　1．Switch to small plates.

　　Not only do smaller dishes fill up faster，but the same size helping looks like more food when it’s on a small dish.

　　10

　　But whatever the size of your plate，it’s most important to remember to keep it balanced：half for vegetables，a quarter for grains and a quarter for lean meat.

　　2．Measure out snakes.

　　Your favorite holiday movie is on.Take a minute to check the nutrition label(标签)and measure out a serving to keep calories in check.Take one popular brand of buttered microwave popcorn for example.

　　11

　　But the bag contains 2.5 servings.Eat the whole thing on your own，and you’ll have eaten 425 calories.

　　3．Split an entree(主菜)．

　　Many restaurants serve far more food than one person needs in a single meal.

　　12

　　Or pack half your entree to go as soon as it’s served.Or choose a small­size option，if available

　　4．Stop eating when you feel satisfied.

　　You don’t have to feel too full，or force yourself to clean your plate，before putting down your fork.

　　13

　　When you’re satisfied，save the rest for leftovers.

　　A．Share a main dish with a friend.

　　B．It’s important for you to eat more on holidays.

　　C．Eat slowly and pay attention to feelings of hunger.

　　D．Studies show we tend to put on a few pounds this time of year.

　　E．Enjoy an entree slowly by yourself.

　　F．So you’ll be likely to serve yourself less.

　　G．One serving is about 4 cups popped with 170 calories.
