We see with our eyes and taste with our tongues (舌
头).Ears are for hearing, skin is for feeling and noses are for smelling. Would anyone say that ears can smell, or that tongues can see? Actually,yes. Paul Bach-y-Rita, a scientist at the University of Wisconsin, believes that the senses can be changeable. For example, a tongue can be used for seeing. The brain, as we know, is a complex organ( 复杂的器官) . Even when part of it is hurt, it will try to carry out the same function by sending the function to another area of the brain.
A college student was asked to take part in an experiment. In the experiment, his eyes were covered with a small video camera. The camera was connected to a long plastic line which went into his mouth. A computer would change the video's picture. The picture would travel through the plastic line as an electric current ( 电流) , reaching the electrodes ( 电极板) inside the student's mouth. The scientist would roll a ball towards his right side, left side, or centre, and the student would have to catch it. When the scientist rolled the ball; pain passed over the student's tongue. From the position( 位置) of the pain on the tongue, the student reached out his hand and caught the ball.
If the brain can see a ball through a camera and a wet tongue, blindness and deafness can be overcome(克服). ( )1. How many senses are talked about in the first paragraph?
A. 4 B. 5 C. 3 D. 2
( )2. What was done with the student's eyes in the experiment ? His eyes were_________.
A. badly hurt B. hit blind by others
C. covered with dark glasses D. covered with a video camera ( )3. In the experiment, a computer was used to_________.
A. change the video's picture B. surf the Internet C. send e-mails D. collect data
( )4. What is the right order according to(根据) the experiment?
① The scientist rolled a ball. ② The student caught the ball.
③The student felt pain on his tongue.
④The scientist connected the camera to a long plastic line. A. ①②③④ B. ②①④③ c. ④①③② D.④③①② ( )5. What could be the best title for the passage? A. Senses Are Important B. An Interesting Experiment C. A Famous Scientist D. Senses Are Changeable
四、任务型阅读 （每空一词）(10’)
Good morning, boys and girl. Today I’ll talk about going online.
We know that there are too many net bars around us. The Internet can make our lives interesting and enjoyable. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer. We can learn English and read some newspapers and magazines to know more around us. It can make us clever in playing computer games. Also when we can send e-mails to our friends they can get them at once. It can help us contact people from all over the world.
But some students spend too much time in playing computer games and some stay in the net bars all day and all night. Some girls even get to have boyfriends or some boys get to have girlfriends online. They write too many letters to each other. It takes them too much time to chat online so they do worse in their lessons and they don’t study well any more. I think we mustn’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. I think we should get online with our teachers or parents.
At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some activities after class. We usually have activities from 4：50 to 5：50 in the afternoon . You can play basket ball or football. We also have some interest groups in school, such as drawing, singing and dancing. We can go to the English corner on Monday afternoon. We hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet.
