longer wanted it,you sold it or threw it away.In the digital age,however;ownershiphas become more slippery.Since the coming of smartphones,consumers have been forced to accept that they do notcontrol the software in their devices;they are only licensed to use it.As a digital chain is wrapped ever more tightlyaround more devices,such as cars and thermostats,who owns and who controls which objects is becoming a problem.Buyers should be aware that some of their most basic property rights are under threat.The trend is not always harmful.Manufacturers seeking to restrict what owners do with increasingly complextechnology have good reasons to protect their copyright,ensure that their machines do not break down,supportenvironmental standards and prevent hacking.Sometimes companies use their control over a products software for theowners benefit.When Hurricane Irma hit Florida this month,Tesla remotely updated the software controlling thebatteries of some models to give owners more range to escape the storm.But the more digital strings are attached to goods,the more the balance of control leans towards producers andaway from owners.That can be inconvenient.Picking a car is hard enough,but harder still if you have to dig up theinstructions that tell you how use is limited and what data you must give.If the products are intentionally designed notto last long,it can also be expensive.Already,items from smartphones to washing machines have become extremelyhard to fix,meaning that they are thrown away instead of being repaired.Privacy is also at risk.Users become terrified when iRobot,a robotic vacuum cleaner,not only cleans the floor butalso creates a digital map of the inside of a home that can then be sold to advertisers（though the manufacturer says ithas no intention of doing so）.Cases like this should remind people how jealously they ought to protect their propertyrights and control who uses the data that is collected.Ownership is not about to go away,but its meaning is changing.This requires careful inspection.Devices,by andlarge,are sold on the basis that they enable people to do what they want.To the extent they are controlled by somebodyelse,that freedom is compromised.l What benefit does it bring to customers if companies control the ownership of products?A.It provides them with knowledge to prevent hacking.B.It gives them the chance to be protected from danger.C.It enables them to own the copyright of the products.D.It helps them know more about complex technology.2、The underlined words“that freedom in the last paragraph refer to the freedom to.A.control other peopleB.share the ownershipC.inspect devices at any timeD.use devices as one wishes3、The author may agreeA.customers should buy fewer digital devicesB.producers should control property rightsC.property rights need to be protectedD.better after sales service is required4、Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the

vegetables!When an embryo is in the womb（子宫）,the very first sense it develops is touch.The sense of touch is also the onethat lasts the longestas we get older and our vision and hearing begins to weaken,touch still remains.Humans usetheir touch to protect themselves,to create emotional relationships with other people and to experience pleasure.Canyou imagine life without it?The sense of touch comes from a net work of nerve endings（神经末梢）and special touch receptors on the surface ofthe skin.While there are different kinds of touch receptors,they help us judge pressure,texture and vibrations（震动）.They are located in our fingertips,palms,soles of our feet,face,lips and tongue.When we touch something,the mechano-receptors feel the touch and through a network of nerves send signals tothe brain.This informs the brain about the location of the touch,the amount of force used,and the speed at which it wasused.Several different techniques have been tried in the past few years to create such a robotic handusing three fingers.But this latest design by Soma copies the human hand.The gripper（钳子）is made up of flexible materials which graspthe thing based on its size and shape.Then air pressure is used to control the movement of the robotic fingers to pickobjects safely and without causing damage.The next step would be for the robot to judge how ripe the fruits and vegetables are,and apply pressureaccordingly.Members of the research team are currently working on adding computerized vision to the robots,so thatthey can see what they are grasping.Does all this mean robots can replace people?According to Ocado,it helps improve productivity by removing someof the repetitive tasks done by humans.1、What is focused on in the second paragraph?A.The origin of touch.B The
