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?
