It has been used as a meeting point since 1934 and today you will find hundreds of people waiting there for their friends to arrive.Hachiko, an Akita dog, was born in 1923 and brought to Tokyo in 1924. His owner,Professor Eisaburo Uyeno and he were inseparable friends right from the start. Each day Hachiko would accompany his owner, a professor at the Imperial University, to Shibuya train station when he left for work. When he came back, the professor would always find the dog patiently waiting for him. Sadly, the professordied suddenly at work in 1925 before he could return home.Although Hachiko was still a young dog, the bond between him and his owner was very strong and he continued to wait at the station every day. Sometimes,he would stay there for days at a time, though some believe that he keptreturning because of the food he was given by street vendors. He became afamiliar sight to commuters over time. In 1934, a statue of him was put outsidethe station. In 1935, Hachiko died at the place he last saw his friend alive.QuestionsQ1 The statue of Hachiko is small.A.RightB.WrongC.Doesn't sayA.RightB.WrongC.Doesn't sayA.RightB.WrongC.Doesn't sayA.RightB.WrongC.

What’s the percentage of students in business and management?9. In terms of academic levels, in which level do we find the smallest number?10. In summary, what did the speaker talk about?TapescriptFor those of you who are either already studying in the United States or plan to one day, it might be interesting to know something about the foreign student population in the United States. For the academic year 1995/96 there was atotal of approximately 344,000 foreign students studying inthe United States. This figure of 344,000 may seem like avery large number until you compare it with the total population of 241,000,000. The foreign student population has been growing for a number of years and is still growing, but the rate of increase has dropped sharply during the 1990s. During the 1980s, the population grew quite rapidly. For example, between 1985 and 1990, the average yearly increase was 12.5%. However, the picture in the 1990s is quite different. The rate of increase has declined quite noticeably.In fact, the rate of increase between 1994/95 and 1995/96 was only .5%, or one-half of one percent. Although the overallrate of increase has dropped to only .5%, the number of students from some parts of the world is increasing while the number of students from other areas is decreasing. For example, during this same time period, that is between the academic years 94/95 and 95/96, there was a decrease in the number of students from the Middle East, while the number of students from South and East Asia increased. These changes in the number of students coming from different parts of theworld no doubt reflected changing economic and political situations. I’m sure you are aware of many of these changes, and perhaps we can discuss them at our next meeting. Fortoday let’s confine our talk to first, a discussion of th e origin of these students, or, in other words, where they come from; second, the kinds of studies they pursue; and, finally, the academic levels they are found in. If we have a littletime left, we might quickly discuss in which geographic areas most of them go to school.Let’s discuss the origins of the foreign student population in the United States for the academic year 1995/96. Let’s discuss it in order from those areas sending the most students to those areas sending the fewest students. If welook at the figures provided by the annual census of foreign students in the United States for the year 1995/96, we seethat most of the foreign students studying in the UnitedStates during this year were from South and East Asia. Thisis a rather large geographical area which includes such countries as China, Korea, Pakistan, India, Malaysia, and Indonesia. The total number of students from this area, Southand East Asia was 156,830. In other words, roughly 2 out of every 5 foreign students come from South and East Asia. Almost 24,000 of this total were from China. Malaysia was close behind with just a little over 23,000 students. The next largest number of students came from the Middle East. The number of students from the Middle East came to aboutone-third the number from South and East Asia. The fourth largest number came from South America. Next came Europe, Africa, North America, and Oceania. Let’s recapitulate what we’ve said. The largest number of students studying in the United States during the academic year 1995/96 were from South and East Asia, followed by the Middle East, South America, Europe, Africa, North America, and Oceania.What fields are these large numbers of foreign students studying in? It probably won’t surprise you to learn that the largest number are in the field of engineering. In fact, 21.7% of the total number are studying engineering. Business and management is close behind, however, with a total of18.9%. The third most popular field was mathematics and computer sciences with 10.3%. As you can see, engineering with 21.7%, business and management with 18.9%, and mathematics and computer sciences with 10.3% comprise about one half of the total number of foreign students.Let’s talk about which academic levels these students can be found in. Foreign students can be found studying atall levels of higher education. As you might expect, the greatest number of them are studying at the undergraduate level ? approximately 158,000. The second largest group study at the graduate level and that number is just under 122,000. The rest study at junior colleges or in non-degree programs.It is at the graduate level that foreign students have the most impact. While foreign students comprise only 2.7% of the total U.S. student population, they account for 8.7% of all the graduate students studying at U. S. institutions. Let me give you those percentages again so you can get a better feel for the overall picture. Foreign students make up only 2.75 of the total U. S. student population, but they make up 8.7% of the total graduate student population.Well, I see that’s all the time we have today. We’ll have to leave discussions of the geographic areas these students study in until another time.Now you are going to hear the talk a second time.REPEAT THE TEXTYou now have 3 minutes to check your answers to Questions 1 - 10.That is the end of Part C.

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1In recent years, there has been a steady assault on salt from the doctors： salt is bad for you ? regardless of your health. Politicians also got on board. "There is a direct relationship," US congressman Neal Smith noted, "between the amount of sodium a person consumes and heart disease, circulatory disorders, stroke and even earlydeath."Frightening, if true! But many doctors and medical researchers are now beginning to feel the salt scare has gone too far. "All this hue and cry about eating salt is unnecessary," Dr. Dustan insists. "For most of us it probably doesn’t make much difference how much salt we eat." Dustan’s most recent short-term study of 150 people showed that those with normal blood pressure experienced no change at all when placed on an extremely low-salt diet, or later when salt wasreintroduced. Of the hypertensive subjects, however, half of those on the low-salt diet did experience a drop in blood pressure, which returned to its previous level when salt was reintroduced."An adequate to somewhat excessive salt intake has probably saved many more lives than it has cost in the general population," notes Dr. John H. Laragh. "So a recommendation that the whole population should avoid salt makes no sense."Medical experts agree that everyone should practice reasonable "moderation" in salt consumption. For the average person, a moderate amount might run from four to ten grams a day, or roughly 1/2 to 1/3 of a teaspoon. The equivalent of one to two grams of this salt allowance would come from the natural sodium in food. The rest would be added in processing, preparation or at the table.Those with kidney, liver or heart problems may have to limit dietary salt, if their doctor advises. But even the very vocal "low salt" exponent, Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes, Jr. admits that "we do not know whether increased sodium consumption causes hypertension." In fact, there is growing scientific evidence that other factors may be involved： deficiencies in calcium, potassium, perhaps magnesium; obesity (much more dangerousthan sodium); genetic predisposition; stress."It is not your enemy," says Dr. Laragh. "Salt is the No. 1 natural component of all human tissue, and the idea that you don't need it is wrong. Unless your doctor has proven that you have a salt-related health problem, there is no reason to give it up."1. According to some doctors and politicians, the amount of salt consumed[A] exhibits as an aggravating factor to people in poor health.[B] cures diseases such as stroke and circulatory disorders.[C] correlates highly with some diseases.[D] is irrelevant to people suffering from heart disease.2. From Dr. Dustan's study we can infer that[A] a low-salt diet may be prescribed for some people.[B] the amount of salt intake has nothing to do with one's blood pressure.[C] the reduction of salt intake can cure a hypertensivepatient.[D] an extremely low-salt diet makes no difference to anyone.3. In the third paragraph, Dr. Laragh implies that[A] people should not be afraid of taking excessive salt.[B] doctors should not advise people to avoid salt.[C] an adequate to excessive salt intake is recommended for peoplein disease.[D] excessive salt intake has claimed some victims in the general population.4. The phrase "vocal ... exponent" (line 2, para. 4) most probably refers to[A] eloquent doctor.[B] articulate opponent.[C] loud speaker.[D] strong advocate.5. What is the main message of this text?[A] That thesalt scare is not justified.[B] That the cause ofhypertension is now understood.[C] That the moderate use of salt is recommended.[D] That salt consumption is to be promoted.Part BIn the following article some paragraphs have been removed. For Questions 1 - 5, choose the most suitable paragraph from the list A - F to fit into each of the numbered gaps. There is one paragraph which does not fit in any of the gaps.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.From her vantage point she watched the main doors swing open and the first arrivals pour in. Those who had been at the head of the line paused momentarily on entry, looked around curiously, then quickly moved forward as others behind pressed in. Within moments the central public area of the big branch bank was filled with a chattering, noisy crowd. The building, relatively quiet less than a minute earlier, had become a Babel. Edwina saw a tall heavyset black man wave some dollar bills and declare loudly, "I want to put my money in the bank"1It seemed as if the report about everyone having come to open an account had been accurate after all.Edwina could see the big man leaning back expansively, still holding his dollar bills. His voice cut across the noise of other conversations and she heard him proclaim, "I'm in no hurry. There's something I'd like you to explain."Two other desks were quickly manned by other clerks. With equal speed, long wide lines of people formed in front ofthem.Normally, three members of staff were ample to handlenew account business, but obviously were inadequate now. Edwina could see Tottenhoe on the far side of the bank and called him on the intercom. She instructed, "Use more desks for new accounts and take all the staff you can spare to man them."2Tottenhoe grumbled in reply, "You realize we can't possibly process all these people today, and however many we do will tie us up completely.""I've an idea," Edwina said, "that's what someone has in mind. Just hurry the processing all you can."3First, an application form called for details of residence, employment, social security, and family matters. A specimen signature was obtained. Then proof of identity was needed. After that, the new accounts clerk would take all documents to an officer of the bank for approval and initialing. Finally, a savings passbook was made out or a temporary checkbook issued.Therefore the most new accounts that any bank employee could open in an hour were five, so the three clerks presently working might handle a total of ninety in one business day, if they kept going at top speed, which was unlikely.4Still the noise within the bank increased. It had become an uproar.A further problem was that the growing mass of arrivalsin the central public area of the bank was preventing accessto tellers' counters by other customers. Edwina could see afew of them outside, regarding the milling scene with consternation. While she watched, several gave up and walked away.Inside the bank some of the newcomers were engagingtellers in conversation and the tellers, having nothing elseto do because of the melee, chatted back. Two assistant managers had gone to the central floor area and were tryingto regulate the flood of people so as to clear some space at counters. They were having small success.She decided it was time for her own intervention.Edwina left the platform and a railed-off staff area and, with difficulty, made her way through the milling crowd tothe main front door.A. Yet she knew however much they hurried it would still take ten to fifteen minutes to open any single new account.It always did. The paperwork required that time.B. But still no hostility was evident. Everyone in thenow jam-packed bank who was spoken to by members of the staff answered politely and with a smile. It seemed, Edwina thought, as if all who were here had been briefed to be on best behavior.C. A security guard directed him, "Over there for new accounts." The guard pointed to a desk where a clerk ? ayoung girl ? sat waiting. She appeared nervous. The big man walked toward her, smiled reassuringly, and sat down.Immediately a press of others moved into a ragged line behind him, waiting for their turn.D. Even leaning close to the intercom, it was hard to hear above the noise.E. Even tripling the present complement of clerks would permit very few more than two hundred and fifty accounts to be opened in a day, yet already, in the first few minutes of business, the bank was crammed with at least four hundred people, with still more flooding in, and the line outside, which Edwina rose to check, appeared as long as ever.F. Obviously someone had alerted the press in advance, which explained the presence of the TV camera crew outside. Edwina wondered who had done it.Part CAnswer questions 1-10 by referring to the comments on 3 different cars in the following magazine article.Note：Answer each question by choosing A, B or C and mark it on ANSWER SHEET 1. Some choices may be required more than once.A=Audi A3 B=Honda Civic C=Rover 216Which car...has a driver seat that can be adjusted to suit most people? 1. ____offers a poor view even when the mirrors are used? 2. ____gives the most space for tall passengers in the back? 3. ____has a convenient way to extend the space for suitcases? 4. ____is most likely to suffer damage to the petrol supply in the case of frontal collision? 5. ____offers the most easily tuned radio? 6. ____would remain silent in the event of theft? 7. ____allows easy access to the backseats? 8. ____has the best engine design in terms of saving money? 9. ____has its handbook criticised? 10. ____Audi A3Most of our drivers said the A3 was their clear favourite in this group. They described it as refined and comfortable with good handling characteristics and light, precise steering.All the seats were comfortable and the front ones were easy to adjust. Most drivers liked the driving position, helped by a good range of steering wheel and seat height adjustments. The main instruments were clear and dashboard controls were well positioned.Mirror coverage was very good but our drivers complained that the view out of the rear was badly hindered by the high rear window line andthick pillars.Getting into the back seats was easy, thanks to a clever seat mechanism, which moves the seat up and forward as well as tilting the backrest. Rear legroom was reasonable but the rear seat was only barely wide enough for three adults.Luggage space was average for this class of car but you have to remove the rear head restraints to fold the rear seat. There were plenty of useful interior stowage spaces.All A3s come with an alarm and immobiliser as standard. Our'thief' got in through the doors in 20 seconds, But the radio was a non-standard fit, which is likely to deter thieves.The hinges of the rear seats could release in an accident, allowing luggage to crash through into the passenger compartment. Also, the driver's knees could be damaged bystiff structures under the dash.Some parts of the fuel system and electrics would be vulnerable to damage in a frontal collision.Honda CivicHonda says its special VTEC engine has a winning combination of economy and performance, but ourdrivers found it a bit of a curate's egg. It was the most economical of the cars on test, but drivers found it sluggish at low revs, and its acceleration in fifth gear was slow, so overtaking normally meant having to shift down to fourth gear.The driving position was acceptable, but our panel criticised the restricted rear visibility ? the rear window was quite small. Drivers found the back rest supportive butit was not possible to make fine adjustments to the angle. The ride comfort was acceptable, but it wasn't as good as the Audi's or Rover's.The driver's seat didn't slide forward when it was tilted, making rear access awkward from this side. In the back, headroom and legroom was excellent but testersdidn't find the seats particularly comfortable.The luggage space was small for this class of car, especially with the rear seats in place. However, folding the rear seat to increase luggage space was easy.Other points identified by our panel included well-placed minor controls, good mirror coverage, but fiddly radio controls.All Civics come with an immobiliser but no alarm. You may want to consider paying extra for an alarm, as our 'thief' broke into through the doors in 13 seconds, and into the engine bay in just five seconds.There were stiff structures under the dash which could damage the driver's knees in an accident, though there was no problem on the passenger's side. The handbook (like the Audi's) provided advice on using child restraints.Rover 216The 1.6-litre engine had good power delivery at both high and low revs but some drivers complained that it was noisy at high revs. The brakes didn't have very good progression, but drivers like their positive feel.Ride comfort and the handling were praised. But drivers found itdifficult to achieve a comfortable driving position. The driver's seat was not height-adjustable, and there was only limited space to rest your clutch foot. Some testers also found the seat backrest uncomfortable. Visibility was marred by the small mirrors. The rear view was also restricted by thick pillars and the small rear window.Getting into the back was tricky because the front seats did not slide forward when tilted. Once in the back, legroom and headroom were poor, and testers complained that their rear seat base was unsupportive.Luggage space was smaller than average for this class of car ? this was compounded by a high boot sill and difficulties in folding the rear seat. But there were large pockets in the doors and rear side panels.The main radio controls were more convenient; they were mounted on the steering wheel so drivers didn't have to take their hands off the wheel to use them.Our Rover 200s came with an alarm, though this isn't standard on all versions. Our 'thief' broke in through the doors in 15 seconds.Some of the electrics would be vulnerable in a frontal impact. The rear seat hinges could release in an accident, allowing luggage to crash through into the passenger compartment. Also, information in the handbook on using child restraints was inadequate.SECTION IV： WritingYou have read an article in a magazine with the following statement in it.

You have been a strong advocator for teacher and student rights. You wrote about the politics of education in"Testing is not teaching*1 in 2002. How have things changed since you first wrote about writing in the 1970s?W: In my report to the Ford Foundation in 1976,1 documented how the government founded no research in the teac ofwriting. It was a polling how little opportunity there was to research writing. I actually got the first grant from thigovernment in 1978 for my study in Atkinson, New Hampshire. There was also a cover story by News Week with i"Why Johnny cant' that was around 1977, as I recalled. So there was a burst of advantage for writing in the early 8 Thenational writing project expanded dramatically and there was more research money for studying and writing. E RonaldReagon allowed funds to go to writing and its improvement, I was on his panel for excellence. Fve learned 1 Americaneducators and the government can maintain focus on the subject area for only so long. In the early 90s an continuing tothe present, testing and accountability have become a major focus. They have become almost like curriculum in theirown rights. They steal the focus from learning and, more particularly from writing.M: What impact have federal decisions had on our schools? What has this meant for the teaching and writing?W: Testing and the emphasis on reading have stolen large blocks of time from writing. Writing requires human pov andtime to evaluate whatever is admitted. Reading on the other hand is much cheaper to assess. The No Child Left BehindAct is all about reading. The authors of the bill didn't realize just how much writing creates a different readt Writing is the making of reading. People who construct things know far better how to take those things apart. The fedendecisions want us to believe that it is much more important to find out if children are good receivers of information thangood senders of information. In short, we don't want their ideas but we do want to know if we can get the right answersabout the information they should understand. In sum, for our political stand point, wc don't really want to if they canwrite with a voice that has ideas and facts just to support those ideas.M: What can teachers do when they find they have less time for writing?W: Teacher should band together asking lots of questions both orally and in a writing. They need to ask questions s HHow important is writing in relation to reading?'1, " Do you think writing is a medium for learning to think? Why whynot?" To show how important the medium of writing is, we should put our questions in writing, then call for aiappointment to have good dialogue with administrators and policy makers.

What was his background?M: Frederick Selous was bom in 1851 to a London Stock Exchange official and a poet who loved adventure. From early age, he had a fascination with David Livingstone, the great British explorer, who had made his name explorin Lualaba river in Southern Africa. At the age of 9, he was said to have been found sleeping in the nightshirt on the fl his boarding school, Rugby, and when asked what he was doing there, he replied, "One day, I'm going to be a hunte Africa, and Fm just hardening myself to sleep on the ground*1. Selous first visited Southern Africa in 1871 and then the next twenty yetirs exploring and hunting between Transvaal and Cango Basin.W: Why is he famous?M: As one of the few white men, the travel in the Africa interior at the time, Selous was instrumental in opening up Southern Africa for Ceil Rhodes and British, negotiating with many of the great indigenous leaders. He documentec progress of gold industry of Zimbabwe and invited US president Theodore Roosevelt on the hunting expedition. Th was to effectively kick-start these foreign industries for travelers who want to follow in Roosevelt's foot steps.W: What did he contribute to geography as a discipline?M: Selous was a typical example of the Victorian image of a great white hunter. However, he was also an enthusias naturalist and conservationist at the time when such interests were considered unfashionable. While his fellow hunt-rested during the afternoon heat, Selous would be out with a net catching butterflies and taking detailed notes. His f observations provided a valuable, historical record. And today, the British Museum houses hundreds of specimens. 11. What did Selous want to be when he was young?A. A hunter.B ・ A poet.C.An official.D. A rugby player.正确答案：A12.What did Selous do with regard to the development of Zimbabwe's gold industry?A.He opened it up.B ・ He took records of it.C.He provided instruments for it.D.He negotiated with local leaders about it.正确答案：B13.What arc kept in the British Museum today?A.His notes.B.His diaries.C.His collection.D.His records.正确答案：C听力原文：W: Why they move into industry?M: I got lo the stage where I wanted lo apply my research io actually treating diseases. As an academic, the only wz do that is to set up your own bio-tech company or to move to a pharmaceutical center. Also, although Cancer Resea UK was an excellent place to work, it was a vciy flat structure and you ran a lab. That was it. I wanted to do someth more than that before 1 retired.W: What were your first impressions?M: It is a cultural shock. No question! The main difference is the share size. A large pharmaceutical company may over 1(), ()0() people in R&D. This means you have to fit into a larger R&D process. I have to interact with many otl parts of the organization. You have to have a team mentality to be able to wave a project goodbye in giving up to ar department. In academic research institutes, you are much more isolationist. Your success depends on what is your CV but not on other people's. Another difference is that the goal is more short-term in industry. You have clear time and if you do not meet mem, you have to explain why. You don'i have a less solved important topic even if it lakes years, type of scenario. These are only surface differences. Both centers are driven by first-class science. Innovative science would be the keys to success in pharmaceutical companies.W: What about the financial side?M: In industry, there are excellent levels of funding. The salary packages available are good. Then, we don r t know anyone who says salary was a main driver to move from academia. It wasn't for me. Today, institutes like Cancer Research UK pay scientists pretty well. In industry, financial rewards are often achievement-based. The better you i the better you are rewarded, 14. Why did Owen want to change his job?A.To put his research results into practice.B ・ To find a better working environment.C.To do something meaningful when retired.D.To set up his own pharmaceutical company.正确答案：A15.Which of the following can best describe the working style of academic research institutes?A.People form project teams.B.People interact much with each other.C.People have a strong sense of collaboration.D.People depend on themselves for success. 正确答案：D16.How does the research management in industry differ from that in institutes?A.It has more short-term goals to achieve.B ・ It has more projects based on first-class science.C.Its emphasis is on long-term planning.D.Its emphasis is on key research topics.正确答案：A听力原文：W: Immanuel Kant was born in the east of Prussia in 1724. His parents hoped he would study theology however his interest was towards the classics and he was recognized as one of the most promising classical scholar college. In 1740, Kant entered the University of Konigsberg and studied primarily with the philosophy faculty. His died in 1746 and for the next nine years, Kant etimed his living as a private tutor. In 1756, he gained professorship : supplemented his income by working as an assistant librarian and through lecturing. Around this time, he introduce series of popular lectures on physical geography. That regularly attracted audiences about fifty freshmen. Although was a philosopher, he had a great impact on geography by helping to secure its places among university disciplines, also played an important role in freeing geography from its previous close relationship with theology. Kant propose human knowledge could be organized in three ways, by classifying facts according to the type of objects studied, b： exampling the temporal dimension and looking at things in terms of their histoiy and by understanding facts relativi spatial relationships. This last represents the field of knowledge commonly known as geography. He taught geograp for thirty years and began each term by clarifying the position of geography among the many fields of learning. He believed that geography represented the differentiation of places and that was fundamental to Kants understanding world. He also saw a clear distinction between the fields of history and geography. In contrast to his numerous philosophical writings, little is left of Kants geographical writings. Most of what we know was based on his lecture Kant believed that the human element was an entangled part of geography. He claimed that physical geography wm summary of nature and the basis of history and all the other possible geographies. 17.

This's why I'm very excited to fin< that at last youYc writing a book to give readers the first-time description of how robotics has been developing and ' it is going. And what prompt you to write the book now?M: There is a confluence of three things happening in robotics right now then I thought what it was worth describin the world. First, the old version of robots is now being refined and developed in cooperated research labs. So that th starting to pick the consumer market. Now the first generation of home robots, robot toys, lawn mowers and floor cleaners are starting to be sold through retail outlets. Second, more recent work in university research labs has led robots that they were able to interact with humans in such life-like ways that they illuminate the question of whethe are anything more than machines and whether we will soon be able to build Sandia machines. And third, robotic technology is now being implanted in people to compensate for losses caused by diseases. We find ourselves on the thresh-hold of roboticizing on our own bodies. Since I've been involved in the aspects of all these developments, I thought I had some interesting perspectives to share with our readers.W: I have lo say I've been especially interested in the notion of embodiment and how that relates to the ideas of rob learning and evolving, and ways came to biologically evolution. I also enjoyed your discussion of the possibility of machines such as these becoming conscious in some point.M: Well, I think this is a question we will need to address in the future. I think well have some marginally simpler ethical issues to deal with in the shorter term over the next 10 to 20 years. We will be building robots much simpler humans but perhaps ifs complex in some ways of insects. Under what condition should we extend our ethical treatr in such animals to those robots? What will it take to convince us that they are alive? Concurrently, with that issue w also be adopting more and more technology into our bodies. What sorts of technology will be fair and what sorts an unfair?W: When I was at the MIT lab, I had the opportunity to spend some time with Corgan, Kitsman. I managed to get C to hold my hand. And when I was playing with Kitsman, his current graduate students thanked me for keeping him entertained. I told her a story about how when I was living in an apartment I have packed Furby to one of the boxes think the move was already sole to disturb when there's a tiny voice to start protesting "Tm bored". I started to get tf vision of robots who need a less of attention from us. Well programs need to consider how much time people will s; with their robots when creating these interacting machines.M: I've been involved in developing robotic toys --------- i Robot cooperation. We developed my real baby. It has an emotional system that makes for interesting play experiences for children. The toy responds differently to the same source of stimulus depending on what mode ifs in. It is of course interesting to design such systems as toys. But me interesting question is whether more complex robots will have emotional lives not for their entertainments or play v But it is a way of providing regulation of their activities. Animals and humans have involved with emotional systen playing just such roles. We may end up building our emotional systems into our robots, so the people can both understand them and influence the robots in the same way they influence each other.W: You can conclude in your book that technology seems to be heading and the direction of incorporating machine elements senses into human bodies. Do you anticipate that this will happen so gradually? The society, when we realbeware that we are returning into cyborgs until the significant percentage of the population, is already part machine M: That is exactly what I think will happen, like many technologies, this one is going to sneak upon us. Wc all kno1 people with hip replacements and we may know people who would have implants. More and more people are goin<: get implants to handle more and more diseases, ranging from Parkinson to Blindness. And more and more people v have prospected devices to compensate for stroke damage. Before too long, people are going to start having implan ornament themselves not just repair damage. More and more people will be part flesh and part machine.
