Kuala Lumpur is a capital city in Malaysia. Here are the top 4 budget hotels:

The Chinatown Inn (About $30 per night)

Just a block from the railway station, located in Chinatown’s open market. It has clean beds, central air

conditioning, hot water forcoffee and tea, and a hall with a big screen TV. Wi-Fi is good except Floor 5. The guests’

complaint is that the air condition is too cold, so make sure you get a room with a window. You can open it to let

some warmth in.

Ancasa Express (About $45 per night).

The hotel is above the sky-train station. That makes it convenient to get to other parts of the city. From the station,

take the elevator to the 5th floor to reach the hotellobby(大厅). The rooms are clean and nice. There is a flat

screen TV, the strongest Wi-Fi, and a very hot rainfall shower. The guests’ complaint is that the cafe is only open

for breakfast and dinner, and not 24 hours.

Central Hotel (About $35 per night)

This hotel is just two blocks from the Central Station, which is the heart of all transportation in the city. From

Central you can walk 2 blocks to the beautiful Central Hotel, in which rooms are small but clean, and have

common Wi-Fi.

Ocean 77 (About $25 per night)

On Petaling Street in Chinatown, this brand new hotel is most spotlessly clean. There is a flat screen TV and good

Wi-Fi in each room. The location is good, in the heart of the Petaling Street market. No cafe in the hotel, but many

on the street.

Imagine that youare a superhero. Your superpowers are activated by a special suit. The suit communicates

with your brain. It allows you to do amazing things with only a thought. By concentrating on strength, for example,

you can kick a soccer ball across a field. By focusing on swift actions, you can jump to the top of a tree.

Such a connection between mind and machine may sound like a fantasy. To scientists, though, it is a very real

goal. They are creating machines that let disabled monkeys walk. These machines may soon help disabled humans

do the same. Unlike other bionic devices, these robotic “super suits” do not communicate with muscles and

nerves. Instead, they have a direct line to the brain.

In 2005, doctors drilled a hole in the skull of Hutchinson, who had lost her right arm in an accident. Then they

inserted a sensor onto her motor cortex (大脑皮层运动区). Wires connected the sensor to a receiver on her head.

After she recovered, researchers pluggedHutchinson’s receiver into a cable that relayed signals from her brain to

computers. Then they connected a robotic arm to the computers. The computerscould interpretHutchinson’s brain

signals to move the arm.

Soon,Hutchinson, the computer, and the robotic arm became a team.Hutchinsonwas even able to lift her

hand and drink from a cup. “She smiled when she put down that drink—that’s everything.” says Donoghue, a brain

scientist.

Today other scientists are building on that success. One of those scientists is Dr. Miguel Nicolelis, who

designed a whole-body bionic equipment. In 2014, a disabled former athlete kicked the first ball of the World Cup

Games wearing one of Miguel’s full-body exoskeletons.

The exoskeleton was connected to brain signal sensors in the man’s cap. By thinking about kicking, he sent

signals to a computer on his back. The computer then translated the signal into an exoskeleton-aided kick. Such

designs may become common as scientists keep merging mind and machine.

4.Which can best describe the tone of paragraph 1? A. Narrative and serious.

B. Persuasive and critical.

C. Informative and objective.

D. Descriptive and imaginative.

5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?

A. Reason of the experiment. B. Results of the experiment.

C. Process of the experiment. D. Significance of the experiment.

6. Why is Dr. Miguel’s exoskeleton special?

A. It can be used on animals.

B. It can move the whole body.
