28、In science, advances are a daily occurrence, but true breakthroughs are rare. What does it take to achieve world-changing scientific breakthroughs? Some are the result of a lucky accident, combined with curiosity. Scientists traveling down one road suddenly find reason to switch to another road, one they never planned to travel — a road that may well lead nowhere.

【1】 One day, usually early in their career, they get an idea they can’t stop thinking about. It’s crazy, they say to themselves, but is it really impossible? They talk to respected colleagues who often remind them of all the reasons their idea might not work, and how damaging this could be for their career. Yet, the idea won’t die and they are determined to travel that road — a road that may well lead nowhere.【2】

Whichever road scientists who achieve lifesaving breakthroughs travel, they often endure disinterest, like Fleming, who discovered penicillin due to lucky accidents and curiosity, or repeated skepticism and rejection, like Karikó, who made all mRNA vaccines possible with 20 years of persistence and resilience. By bringing their dreams to life, they were rewarded with fame and wealth and something even more valuable. 【3】

Of course, the obsession (执念) with an unlikely dream fails to pay off for many scientists. 【4】 Nature doesn’t turn out to operate the way they predicted. In the end, their beautiful theory is murdered by brutal facts. For those dreamers on the right track, they would have achieved their dream — if only they had done the experiment a little differently, if only they had persisted a little longer, or if only the support for their work had not run out.

Ultimately, scientific breakthroughs are possible only if a society is willing to invest in dreamers, recognizing that not all investments will lead to major breakthroughs. 【5】 More importantly, the investments prevent suffering and death and change the world.

A．Some scientists are addicted to their crazy ideas.

B．Their ideas, though brilliant, in the end are proved wrong.

C．But they refuse to give in and struggle to find more financial support.

D．Because of them, millions of people around the world never got sick or died.

E．Other major breakthroughs originate from scientists pursuing a specific idea.

F．But sometimes the road leads to major breakthroughs like X-ray and vaccines.

G．However, the investments leading to breakthroughs bring a greater economic return.

29、How can humans become immortal(永生的)? You might have only seen the idea of uploading the human brain to a digital cloud in science fiction movies. Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, has already done so. The secret was revealed when a question posted on Twitter caught his attention.

“If you could upload your brain to the cloud, and talk to a virtual version of yourself, would you be buddies?” Musk replied on July 19, “Already did it.” The reply indicated that Musk’s brain-computer interface(接口) company, Neuralink, had already realized the technology, according to Xinhua.

Neuralink was founded by Musk in 2016. The company focuses on brain-computer interface technology which is used to connect the brain to a digital network. It is developing devices for the treatment of patients with neurological disorders(神经障碍). In other words, the company aims to create links between mind and machine, according to Psychology Today.

So how do brain-computer interfaces work? Computers designed to learn the patterns of neural activity are used to extract information from human brains. For example, if a person imagines picking up a book, the computer would then learn to identify how the brain gives that command. Next, the computer would send the signal to the machine, which would then move a robotic arm to reach for the book.

Uploading a brain is only part of Musk’s plan. He revealed to Insider that his goal is to download human consciousness into robots. Just like how our memories are stored in mobile phones through pictures and videos, Musk imagines that our brains—not only how we think, but also our personalities and habits—can be transferred into robots. In this way, even after our bodies decay(腐朽), our brains are preserved. Some experts believe that this could be achievable one day, but the timeline is unclear. “The most wildly optimistic predictions place mind uploading within a few decades, but I would not be surprised if it took centuries,” wrote Michael S. A. Graziano, a professor at Princeton University, in a Wall Street Journal essay.

【1】What does Neuralink focus on?

A．Studying how to connect the brain to computers.

B．Offering a new means of communication.

C．Revealing secrets concerning brains.

D．Helping people live forever.

【2】What does the underlined word extract in paragraph 4 mean?

A．Send.

B．Identify.

C．Get.

D．Extend.

【3】What do we know about the brain-computer interface technology?

A．It has been widely used in the treatment of patients with neurological disorders.

B．It would soon be able to download human consciousness into robots.

C．It was inspired by a tough question posted on Twitter.

D．It allows users to move objects with their minds.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．An advanced technology.

B．An outstanding inventor.

C．A shocking news story.

D．A scientific study.
