16、o take me to the Boston airport for a flight home for the holidays. As I slid into the back seat of the car, the warm intonations（语调）of the drivers accent washed over me in a familiar way.I learned that he was a recent West African immigrant with a few young children, working hard to provide for his

17、 family. I could relate: I am the daughter of two Ethiopian immigrants who made their share of sacrifices to ensure my success. I told him I was on a college break and headed home to visit my parents. Thats how he found out I go to Harvard. An approving eye glinted（闪烁）at me in the rearview window, a

18、nd quickly, we crossed the boundaries of rider and driver. I became his daughter, all grown up the product of his sacrifice.And then came the fateful question: “What do you study?” I answered “history and literature” and the pride in his voice faded, as I knew it might.

19、African-American studies” before he cut in, his voice thick with disappointment. “All that work to get into Harvard, and you study history?”Here I was, his daughter, squandering the biggest opportunity of her life.

The unspoken demand, made across generations, which my Uber driver laid out plainly, is simple: Fulfill your role in the narrative（故事）of upward mobility so your children can do the same.I used to feel

21、 anxious and backed into a corner by the questioning, but now as a junior in college, Im grateful for their support more than anything.

25、computer interface (BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.Recently, two researchers, Jose Milan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated (展示) a small robotic wheelchair directed by a persons thoughts.In the

26、 laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.“Our brain has billions of nerve cells. These send signals through the spinal cord (脊髓) to the muscles to give us the abilit

27、y to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This hea

28、d cover picks up the signals from the scalp (头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain.Prof. Milan, the te

29、am leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. “The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. One example is this

30、wheelchair.”He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.28. BCI is technology that can .A. help to update computer syste

34、t of Mount Everest measuring about 5 and a half miles above sea level. The Mariana Trench is home to a variety of sea life. Coral reefs and underwater volcanoes are all found there. But because very few humans have been able to go far into the trench, scientists know very little about it.Now they ar

35、e working to change that. Recently, theOkeanos Explorerhas been on an expedition there. Its very dark, so the animals living there must use many other senses other than sight to understand their surroundings, find food, and escape from enemies. The water is also very cold slightly above freezing and

36、 its pressure is extremely high. That means only certain animals can live there, like shrimp, crabs, and starfish.Scientists hope this expedition will help them unlock the mysteries of the Mariana Trench. They will learn about the deep-sea animals and plants found there. They will also study its uni

37、que features, including underwater mountains, mud volcanoes, andhot springsproduced by underwater volcanoes.They say that this knowledge will also help scientists better understand how the deepest part of the ocean affects the rest of the world. “The ocean plays a role in the air we breathe, the foo

38、d we eat, and the transportation of the goods we buy not to mention weather and climate change,” a scientist said. “The deep sea may also hold cures to diseases.
