Read the following article and answer the question. Article: Since the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to connect the brain with computers. Braincomputer interface(BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines. Recently, two scientists, Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytehnic School in Lausanne, Switzerland, show a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person's thoughts. In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts. "Our brain has billions of body cells . These send signals through the spinal cord to the body part to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the body part." Tavella says. "Our system allows disabled people to communicate with outer world and also to control machines." The scientists designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp and sends them to a computer. The computer finds meanings of the signals and commands the wheelchair with an engine. The wheelchair also has two cameras that tell objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain. Prof. Millan , the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that finds meanings of brain signals and turns them into simple commands." The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two kinds: communication, and controlling objects. One example is this wheelchair." He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can get advantages from. And the other is sure that they can use the technology for long. Question: The team will test with real patients to _ . Answer:
****
A: prove the technology useful to them

Read the following article and answer the question. Article: Dear Sir, I am writing to you about my stay at your hotel. My wife and I arrived on Saturday, May 15thand stayed for a week. Though we were treated well and found the service excellent, we think there are one or two things we should bring your attention. 1. We hoped for a nice holiday from our busy work lives, and your ad said "comfortable and quiet". We want to have a chance to enjoy ourselves. However, we were always waken up by the noise every morning. Is it really necessary for the workers to start their repair work so early? 2. We hoped to swim in your "wonderful pool". To our disappointment , we found that it was closed for the whole time of our stay. I hope you do not mind my writing to you about these things, but I would be happy if you could give me some explanation . As I said at the start, it is a pity, and your service is so good in other places. I hope to hear from you soon. Yours sincerely Tom Green Question: What did Mr Green think about the swimming pool?

Question: Read the following article and answer the question. Article: Saying "thank you" is probably the first thing most of us learn to do in a foreign language. After all, we're brought up to be kind and polite. So, what exactly are you supposed to say when "thank you" is only the 20thmost popular way to express gratitude ? According to a recent report, 19 other ways of expressing gratitude finished ahead of "thank you" in a poll of 3,000 people. Pollsters found almost half those asked preferred the more informal "cheers", while others liked to use such expressions as "ta", "great" and "nice one". So, just what is the right form of words to express your thanks? Luckily, the answer is in the language itself. "Cheers" is considered an informal way to say thank you. For example, when going for a drink with friends, a smile and a "cheers" by way of thanks is not only acceptable to the situation, it is also culturally _ . "Ta" was the second-most popular expression of thanks, and is also commonly used in informal situations, along with phrases such as "nice one", and "wonderful". Interestingly, one word that didn't make it into the top 20 was "thanks". But "thanks" can be useful, as it is able to bridge the divide between "thank you" and the downright relaxed "cheers". Certain words can double as an expression of thanks as well as delight. For example, words like "awesome", "brilliant" and "you star" can tell both your pleasure at someone's action, as well as serving to express your thanks. If you are on the receiving end of a "new" thank you, you can reply with a simple "no problem", or "sure". Of course, a simple wave, nod or smile may be all right. For example, if a car driver slows down to let you cross the road, simply raising your hand is enough to show that you are thankful for the driver's consideration. Sometimes, formality is necessary, and "thank you" is still the best choice in such situations. But students should not worry about when exactly to use certain expressions. Many people in western countries are worried that good manners are in decline . People are... Question: Which of the following can express gratitude as well as pleasure? Answer:
