閱讀C：We lived on the banks of the Tennessee River and we owned the summers when we were girls.we ran here and there wildly through wet summer days that never ended.We floated down rivers of weekdays with no school,no rules,no parents except our fantasies.We were good girls,my sister and I .We had nothing to rebel against.This was just life as we knew it,and we knew the summers to be continued and to be ours.
I liked walking to the mailbox in my bare feet and leaving footprints on the dewy grass.I imagined that feeling the wetness on the bottom of my feet made me a happy poet.I had never read poetry.But I imagined that people who knew of such things would walk to their mailboxes through the morning dew in their bare feet.
One day a thunderstorm blew up forth the Tennessee River.It was one of so many crazy storms in such a season that made the day go dark and the humidity disappear.First it was still and quiet.There was electricity in the air and then a heavy rain poured down as the winds rushed in.We threw open all the doors and windows.
We turned on the radio and let the wind blow through the house.We turned around in the wind and in the music,imagining that we were poets and dancers and scientists.
We imagined that if we could let everything---the thunder,the storm,the wind,the world---into that house on the banks of the Tennessee River,we could live in our summer dreams forever.(答案：ABBC)
閱讀D：Are you working on your typing skills to make you a more efficient worker?That may be all for nothing as Intel believes that we'll be able to control our computers with our brains by 2020.
Intel and its research partners are studying how the brain acts when it thinks.For example,scientists manner when asked to think of a bear.
Through sensors that can discover this sort of brain activity,Intel thinks that it will be able to read and translate this into an input system by a chip in the brain.
"We're trying to prove you can do interesting things with brain waves ,"Intel research scientist Dean Pomerleau said."imagine being able to surf the Web with the power of your thoughts."
Intel thinks that there's a future in using your brain instead of the keyboard."If we can find the relationships between brain waves and specific words, you could mentally type,"he added."You could type whole words rather than their individual characters."
While this may all sound not realistic at the present time,Intel thinks that it's possible and something we'll all want.
"I think human beings are unusually adaptive"said Andrew Chien,vice president of research and director of future technologies research at Intel Labs.
"If you told people 20 years ago that they would be carrying computers all the time,they would have said,'I don't want that.I don't need that.'Now you can't get them to stop carrying computers.There are a lot of things that have to be done first but I think implanting chips into human brains is possible."
So make good use of your favorite mouse and keyboard before they're old-fashioned.(答案：ABC)
