14、, because theres no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut. With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble. This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a

15、 drum kit成套设备 and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child. It wasnt long before Brenda Bongos came very famous. Many people came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of t

16、he bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band. Years later, when asked how she had achieved a

21、people shrink, we dont mean they become tiny enough to fit in your pocket! We just mean that its common for older people to become a little shorter over time.

22、ity (that force that keeps your feet on the ground) , cushions between the bones in the spine (脊骨), get compressed压缩, which makes a person lose a little height and become shorter. Another reason why some older people shrink is because of osteoporosis (骨质疏松). Osteoporosis occurs when bone is broken d

23、own and not enough new bone material is made. Over time, bone is said to be lost because its not being replaced. Bones become smaller and weaker and can easily break if someone with osteoporosis is injured. Older people especially women, who generally have smaller and lighter bones to begin with are

24、 more likely to develop osteoporosis. As years go by, a person with osteoporosis can get small breaks in bones that are called compression fractures. These breaks cause collapse of the spine and over time the person with osteoporosis can become hunched over (驼背). Did you know that every day you shri

25、nk a little, too? You arent as tall at the end of the day as you are at the beginning. Thats because as the day goes on, water in the disks of the spine gets compressed due to gravity, making you just a tiny bit shorter. Dont worry, though. Once you get a good nights rest, your body recovers, and th

31、 should stop talking.The glasses have a built-in camera which monitors the other persons facial expressions and matches them up with 24 known features which convey emotions.

32、le system, a red light means negative, yellow means they are a bit interested and green means your date is happy. The glasses are under development at present by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technologys Media Lab.They say that wearing them during a conversation with another person i

33、s like having an extra sense that they are bored or losing interest.The eyewear was developed for people suffering from autism孤独症who have much difficulty interacting with others, but now the team behind it has seen wider applications.

34、put into the glasses frame and connected via a wire to a small computer which can be attached to the users body. The camera monitors how long and how often 24 feature points appear on the subjects faces which are then analyzed by software developed by the MIT team.This data is then compared with a b

35、ank of expressions and the computer tells the wearer what is going on via the earpiece and the traffic light system.So far the glasses are still a job in progress and have been accurate just 64 per cent of the time, a figure which is expected to improve with further tests.66.
