42、nformation given in the passage you have just read.（A）If you could be anybody in the world, who would it be? Your neighbour or a super star? A few people have eperienced what it might be lie to step into the sin of another person, thans to an unusual virtual reality （虚拟 现实）device. Rie Wahl, an actre

43、ss, model and artist, was one of the participants in a body swapping eperiment at the Be Another lab, a project developed by a group of artists based in Barcelona. She swapped with her partner, an actor, using a machine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily became a man. "As I looed

44、down, I saw my whole body as a man, dressed in my partner's pants," she said. "That's the picture I remember best."The set-up is relatively simple. Both users wear a virtual reality headset with a camera on the top. The video from each camera is sent to the other person, so wh

45、at you see is the eact view of your partner. If she moves her arm, you see it. If you move your arm, she sees it.To get used to seeing another person's body without actually having control of it, participants start by raising their arms and legs very slowly, so that the other can follow along. E

46、ventually, this ind of slow synchronised （同步的） movement becomes comfortable, and participants really start to feel as though they are living in another person's body.Using such technology promises to alter people's behaviour afterwards-potentially for the better. Studies have shown that virt

47、ual reality can be effective in fighting racism-the bias （偏见）that humans have againstthose who don't loo or sound lie them. Researchers at the University of Barcelona gave people a questionnaire called the Implicit Association Test, which measures the strength of people's associations betwee

48、n, for instance, blac people and adjectives such as good, bad, athletic or awward. Then they ased them to control the body of a dar sinned digital character using virtual reality glasses, before taing the test again. This time, the participants' bias scores were lower. The idea is that once you&

49、#39;ve "put yourself in another's shoes" you're less liely to thin ill of them, because your brain has internalised the feeling of being that person.The creators of The Machine to Be Another hope to achieve a similar result. "At the end of body swapping, people feel lie holdin
