Soon the benefits may

28、be more widespread. A 25-year-old man unable to move from the neck down recently did what many assumed impossible. After a knife attack that had left him paralyzed, all he could move was his head, which he used to push a switch and call for a nurse. And he could turn his wheelchair by blowing into a

29、 straw near his face. That was it.Then last June, a Foxborough (Mass.) company called CyberKinetics opened the mans skull and inserted a special chip no larger than a baby aspirin. That insert has given him a few additional and precious abilities. When connected to a special computer via a cable, th

30、e chip translates the young mans thoughts into commands that let him move a cursor across a PC screen and open e-mail. He can draw a circle with a computer painting program. And he can use a robotic hook(钩) to perform simple tasks like picking up a candy and sliding it across a table. All he has to

31、do is to think. Several new studies have begun or been completed in the past year. In fact, more than half of the scientific papers in this field, called brain-to-computer interaction (BCI), have been published in the past two years, notes Jonathan Wolpaw, a research physician at Wadsworth Center, t

32、he New York State Health Dept.s research laboratory. Brain surgeries (手术) are no longer rare: Thousands of Parkinsons disease patients have had special devices inserted in their brains to ease uncontrollable shaking and other symptoms. The inserts themselves have improved, so the body doesnt reject

33、them as furiously(猛烈地). And significant development has been achieved in software used to interpret the brains signals and change them into commands understood by computers. But increased demand for thought technology remains the biggest reason for the fields progress. Today, 4 million Americans liv

34、e with paralysis according to the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation. Scientists hope that thought technology will reduce the impact of such disabilities. People with spinal-cord injuries, for example, often lose their ability to walk because the communications network between their brain and th

35、eir legs has been interrupted. The brain still commands the leg muscles to move, but they dont hear its orders. Thought technology, scientists hope, will bridge this communications gap. Our goal is for you to see paralyzed people eating at a restaurant and for you not to know that they are paralyzed

36、, says John Donoghue, founder and chief scientific officer at CyberKinetics.56. What was the young mans trouble after a knife attack? A. It was impossible for him to do anything.B.

41、it can affect your family and friends as well as having a serious impact on your own physical and mental well-being.Drug overdoses can be fatal. You can die instantly from misusing substances and drugs that you can buy over the counters.Signs of drug abuse and misuseThere is not a common list of sym

42、ptoms that you can use to tell if you or someone you know is misusing drugs.

52、 you normally sleep. Even though you dont know what time it is, your body does. These patterns of daily life are called circadian rhythms, and they are more than just habits. Inside our bodies are several clocklike systems that follow a roughly 24-hour cycle. Throughout the day and night, our intern

53、al clocks direct changes in temperature, body chemicals, hunger, sleepiness and more. Everyones rhythms are unique, which is why you might like to stay up late while your sister always wants to go to bed early. But overall, everyone is programmed to feel tired at night and energetic during the day.

54、Scientists have known for a long time that the light of day and the dark of night play important roles in setting our internal（内部的） clocks. Now, new discoveries are giving scientists insights into how these clocks work. Learning about our body clocks may help scientists understand why problems arise when we act out of step with our circadian rhythms. For example, traveling across time zones can make people wake up in the middle of the night. Regularly staying up late can make kids do wo
