25、Why Do People Blink (眨眼) Their Eyes?
People blink their eyes tens of thousands of times every day. Scientists have long believed blinking was an involuntary movement and served mainly to keep the eyeballs wet. But a new study suggests it has a more important purpose.
An international team of scientists from the University of California at Berkeley studied the blinking of human eyelids. The journal Current Biology published their findings. The team said they found that blinking “repositions our eyeballs so we can stay focused” on what we are seeing. They said that when we blink our eyelids, the eyes roll back into their sockets—the bony area that surrounds and protects the eyes. However, the researchers found the eyes don’t always return to the same position (位置). They said this causes the brain to tell the eye muscles (肌肉) to reorganize our eyesight.
Gerrit Maus is the lead writer of the report. He serves as an assistant professor of psychology at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Maus said, “Our eye muscles are quite sluggish (迟缓的) and imprecise (不精确的), so the brain needs to constantly adapt (改编) its motor signals to make sure our eyes are pointing where they should be. Our findings suggested that the brain measures the difference in what we see before and after a blink, and orders the eye muscles to make the needed corrections.” The researchers said that without such corrections our surroundings would appear unclear and even jumpy. They said the movement acts “like a steadicam (摄影稳定器) of the mind.”
The researchers said they asked volunteers to sit in a dark room while storing at a small dot on a flat surface. They used special cameras to follow the volunteer’s blinks and eye movements. After each blink, the dot was moved one centimeter to the right. The volunteers did not notice this, but the brain did. It followed the movement and directed the eye muscles to refocus on the dot. After the dot was moved in this way 30 times, the volunteers’ eyes changed their focus to the place where they predicted it would be.
Professor Maus said. “Even though the volunteers did not consciously register that the dot had moved, their brains did, and adjusted (调整)with the corrective eye movements. These findings add to our understanding of how the brain constantly adapts to (适应) changes directing our eye muscles to correct for errors in our bodies’ own hardware.”
【1】According to the new study, blinking eyes can ________.
A.serve keep the eyeballs wet B.reposition eyeballs to stay focused
C.consciously correct eye movements D.make our eyes adapt to motor signals
【2】From the experiment, we can learn that ________.
A.the brain directed the eye muscles to refocus on the dot
B.volunteers could see the moving dot with special cameras
C.the eyeballs could stay in the place as they were predicted
D.volunteers were aware of the dot’s movements to the right
【3】The underlined word “register” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A.reason B.refocus C.realize D.reserve
【4】This passage shows that ________.
A.eye muscles are quite inactive and imprecise
B.the research is of great value in the eye movement
C.the brain plays an important role in seeing things clearly
D.volunteers control their blinks to follow the changes of the dots
26、
OH no, not again! I’ve forgotten my password. We all have trouble remembering all those passwords we need to get on our favorite websites. But, if you could take a pill every day that remembers all of your passwords, would you take it?
Well, now there’s a smart pill that can store all of personal details, so when you have to type your password, the electronic device will connect to the pill without you doing anything! The new technology comes from Proteus Digital Health, a company from California, US.
How does it work? The pill has a tiny chip that stores all your online data. It works by the acid in the user’s stomach. Then your smartphones or computers can read the data on the chip when you are near. So remembering your passwords may soon be a problem of the past! However, you’ll have to take the pill everyday.
The average person types in 39 passwords per day, according to Proteus Digital Health. That’s over 14000 times per year! So it could save a lot of time for busy people. As well as being convenient, the pill could also protect us against identity theft.
The smart pill has been approved by both the US and EU food and drug regulators. So everybody may get it soon. The company also has plans to create electronic tattoos that can store data, just like the smart pill. Could we soon be wearing digital information?
【1】According to the first two paragraphs, the smart pill can ________.
A.make you remember your passwords
B.help you look through any website
C.help you type on the computer
D.make you forget your passwords
【2】The underlined word “approved” in the last paragraph means “________”.
A.批准
B.反对
C.生产
D.销售
【3】According to Paragraph 3, which of the following is TRUE?
A.A small chip in the pill stores your memory.
B.The pill works by the acid from your stomach.
C.Only phones can read the data on the chip
D.The pill solves all of your problems.
【4】Paragraph 4 mainly talks about________.
A.why people type in passwords so often
