21、 Seventeen-year-old Lindsey Stoefen loves to play tennis, softball and run until last October when a rare disorder paralyzed her legs and left her in a wheelchair. But in late April after becoming an in-patient at Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital in Chicago, the teen climbed into a specially designed exoskeleton (外骨骼) which supported her body and moved her legs.
“Yes, I'm gonna be a robot! And I was scared at first. Am I gonna like it? Is it gonna be okay? And then once I got into it, I loved it." Lauren Bularzik, Lindsey s physical therapist, says the exo robots help to accelerate the recovery process.
For someone who takes a lot of energy to only walk a few feet, exo can get them up and get them moving. Besides speeding up recovery time, these robotic skeletons are especially helpful for those with paralysis, from spinal cord injuries and strokes.
Using the machine can help some patients rewire their brains to use secondary muscles, so they can eventually walk again without the device. But Patrick Wensing, assistant professor at the University of Notre Dame says exoskeletons have one big drawback. While existing exoskeletons are very powerful, right now they don t understand what the user wants to do. So in order to switch between activities in daily life, you often have to press a button interface to tell the exoskeleton “I would like to stand up now".
Wensing and his team are cooperating with Ekso Bionics, a leading developer of wearable robots, to create a machine that can understand what its user wants to do without implanted sensors and complicated control panels.
Taylor Gambon has spent the last year analyzing data from exoskeleton users and comparing them to models of everyday walking. Later this year, the team will travel to Ekso Bionics' California headquarters, where they will work directly with exoskeletons to design programs that interact with users of various disabilities, so that more people like Lindsey Stoefen can get back on their feet again.
【1】What's the purpose of the story about Stoefen in the first paragraph?
A.To prove Stoefen's bravery against disability.
B.To explain Stoefen's misfortune in life.
C.To introduce advanced medical skills in Chicago.
D.To introduce the topic of robotic skeleton.
【2】How does Patrick Wensing find the robotic skeletons?
A.They can improve the recovery speed.
B.They can replace the real person.
C.They can't understand the intention of users.
D.They can help patients do everything in life.
【3】What's the attitude of Taylor Gambon and his team towards the development of exo robots?
A.Disappointed. B.Critical.
C.Indifferent. D.Optimistic.
【4】Where is the text probably taken?
A.An advertisement. B.A science fiction.
C.A product handbook. D.A popular science magazine.

23、As medical science develops rapidly with technologies, what is left for the doctor to do?
For medical humanist Dr. Abraham Verghese, the answer is simple: Spend more time getting to know your patients as people. Take the time to read a poem and other literature. Do your part to bridge the gap between the two cultures of science and the humanities.
It takes a doctor who knows a patient’s life history to make the best use of these tools, Verghese said. And that means having insight into human character.
Verghese said machines “have gone beyond human beings in their capacity to care for the patient,” that is, in diagnosing illnesses and indicating the best treatment.
But doctors can awaken the human spirit, the knowledge of human beings and their motivations, which can pull together a life picture of a patient and understand them as more than a collection of symptoms.
Case history: A 64-year-old man admitted to the hospital after repeated falls, pains, and the loss of two teeth that just fell out, with no apparent cause. What was wrong? Was it his medicine? Was it alcohol abuse?
The man rapidly improved after being hospitalized. It turned out he had “bachelor scurvy”, a disease among old men who lives alone, which results from a lack of nutrition.
“He was surviving on no fruits or vegetables, just alcohol and processed meats, I would guess,” Verghese said. “My point here is that this diagnosis, as clever as it was, also might have been made much earlier had we had a good relationship with this patient and had some sense of who that person was, as an individual.”
【1】What should doctors do according to Verghese?
A.Use machines less frequently.
B.Know more about patients as people.
C.Try to make an early diagnosis of patients.
D.Keep up with the development of technology.
【2】What does Verghese think of medical equipment?
A.It needs to be improved greatly.
B.It will replace doctors sooner or later.
C.It may give patients incorrect treatment.
D.It is of great help in diagnosing illnesses.
【3】Which statement is NOT true about the 64-year-old man mentioned in the text?
A.He lived on his own.
B.He lived a healthy lifestyle.
C.He suffered from a rare disease.
D.He always ate processed meats.
【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To introduce some medical tools.
B.To advise doctors to get to know patients better.
C.To describe the development of medical science.
D.To show the importance of machines in medical operations.
24、 Psychopaths, by definition, have problems understanding the emotions of other people, which partly explains why they are so selfish and why they commit violent crimes at up to three times the rate of other people.
But curiously, they seem to have no difficulty in understanding what other people think, want, or believe."Their behavior seems to suggest that they don't consider the thoughts of others," says ArielleBaskin-Sommers from Yale University, but their performance on experiments suggests otherwise. When they hear a story and are asked to say what a character is thinking, they can.
On the face of it, this makes sense: Here are people who can understand what their victims are thinking but just don't care. Hence their actions. But Baskin-Sommers found that there's more to their minds than it seems.
Bakin-Sommers managed to persuade a maximum-security prison in Connecticut to let her work with their prisoners. First, Baskin-Sommers administered a standard test to 106 male prisoners from the Connecticut prison to assess psychopathy. Of them, 22 proved to be psychopaths, 28 were not, and the rest fell in a gray zone.
After assessing the 106 volunteers, she then gave them a computer-based task. They saw a picture of a human avatar (化身) in prison uniforms, standing in a room and facing either right or left. There were either two red dots on the wall in front of the avatar, or one dot in front of it and one dot behind it, The prisoners’ job was to figure out how many dots either they or the avatar could see.
Normally, people can accurately say how many dots the avatar sees, but they're slower if there are dots behind the avatar. Thar's because what they see (two dots) affects their ability to see through the avatar's eyes(one dot), This is called egocentric interference. But they're also slower to say how many dots they can see if that number differs from the avatar's count. People are automatically affected by the avatar's perspective, even when it hurts their own performance. This is called altercentic interference.
Baskin-Sommers found that the psychopathic prisoners showed the usual level of egocentric interference-that is, their own perspective was muscling in on the avatar's, But they showed much less altercentric interference than the other prisoners- the avatar's perspective wasn't messing with their own, as it would for most other people.
Of course, not all psychopaths are the same, and they vary considerably in their behavior. But Baskin-Sommers also found fhat the higher their score on the psychopathy assessment test, the less they were affected by what the avatar saw. And the less affected they were, the more charges they had on their record.
To her, the results show that psychopaths do not automatically take the perspective of other people. That helps to explain why they behave so cruelly and even violently.
【1】What does "otherwise" (in paragraph 2) refer to ?
A.Pychopaths' behavior is not worth studying
B.Psychopaths can understand others' thoughts
C.Psychopaths have trouble knowing about others.
D.Psychopaths' perfomance on experiments is unbelievable
【2】Baskin-Sommers's research with the prisoners involved.
A.asking them to say the number of the dots they or the avatar could see
B.reading their medical records to see whether they were psychopaths.
C.requiring them to figure out which avatar messed in with them
D.decreasing the effect of the avatar on their performance
【3】What can be inferred from the results of Baskin Sommers's work the prisoners?
A.It's more difficult for psychopaths to work out what they themselves are thinking about.
B.Egocentric interference are more related to criminal acts than altercentric imerference.
C.People showing more altercentric interference are less likely to be psychopaths.
D.Psychopaths tend to be affected by the avatar to the same degree.
【4】Which of the following might be the best title of this passage?
A.Varieties of Psychopaths
B.How Psychopaths See the World
C.Psychopaths and Their Perspectives
D.Why Psychopaths Need More Understanding
