24、Virtual (虚拟的) reality is a way to create a computer-made environment that brings the user into a virtual world. If you ever have put on a VR headset, you would know exactly what I am talking about. From an experiential view we do understand the idea, but what about the technical backend that goes into making it all possible? In this blog, we will understand the technology behind virtual reality and the basic terms about the development of a virtual ecosystem for a VR headset.

The primary subject of virtual reality is simulating (模拟) the vision. Every headset is to perfect their method to create an immersive (浸入式) 3D environment. Each VR headset puts up a screen or two in front of eyes, keeping the user away from any interaction with the real world. Two autofocus lenses (自动对焦镜片) are generally placed between the screen and the eyes that change based on eye movement and positioning. The vision appears on the screen either by using a mobile phone or HDMI line connected to a PC.

To create a truly immersive virtual reality, there are certain requirements — a frame rate (帧率) of at least 60 fps, a refresh rate and at least 100-degree field of view ( though 180 degrees is perfect). If either of these doesn’t work according to the standards, the user will experience too big of a time difference between their actions and the response from the screen. We need the response to be less than 20 ms ( 1/1000 second) to fool the brain which is achieved by joining all the above in the right proportion (比例). Another matter that needs to be looked at here is to prevent netsickness because of the differences between the frame rate and refresh rate.

Apart from the image, there are certain other things that go into creating an immersive VR experience, holding the user’s attention completely in the virtual environment. For example, sound effects, when put with the image, can create very attractive effects. By using a headphone and 3D sound effects, the user can totally believe in the virtual environment. While perfecting sound effects, proper care needs to be taken about the consistency (一致) between the pictures and the sound. If you start playing frightening music in the background of a happy scene, it will just put the user off.

In future, we will see rapid progress in creating a truly immersive digital experience. With leading players like Google, Microsoft, Oculus, and HTC making great efforts to improve the capabilities (性能), we are not far from achieving a virtual reality that would feel so much better than the real world. If you would like to develop a VR app for your business, then feel free to get in touch. With over 10 years of experience in mobile technologies, we can make every dream a reality.

【1】A VR headset helps the user _________.

A. create the vision on the screen

B. understand the technical backend

C. better experience a 3D environment

D. keep interaction with the real world

【2】The words "put the user off" in Paragraph 4 probably mean "__________".

A. take the user’s attention away

B. get the user interested

C. hold the user’s imagination back

D. help the user understand

【3】What is the main purpose of writing this passage?

A. To give a short introduction of VR.

B. To do business with certain readers.

C. To predict the bright future of VR.

D. To share experiences with readers.

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A. The lower degree field of view, the better images.

B. Sound effects are more important than the image for VR.

C. Some big companies may create a VR better than the real world soon.

D. The brain can tell the time difference when the response is more than 20 ms.

25、

Many of us have had this experience: We lie down in a bed other than our own, perhaps at a friend’s house or in a hotel room, and find it difficult or impossible to fall asleep. Is it because the bed is uncomfortable? Maybe, but perhaps there can be other reasons.

According to a new study published in Current Biology, an important reason is what the scientists call “first night effect”. They believe that one side of the brain acts as a “night watch” to warn us about potential（潜在的） dangers. It forces us to stay awake on the first night in a new environment.

For the study, 35 young volunteers were asked to sleep in a sleep lab for several days. Meanwhile, researchers watched their brain activities.

According to the researchers, on their first night, the left brains were more active than the right brains and people had a hard time sleeping. However, left-brain activity decreased as days went by, falling even to the point of complete quietness. So, the volunteers got an increasingly better sleep experience.

The findings suggest that the different rhythms（节奏） of the sides of the brain influence our sleep. When the two sides work differently, the balance between them is broken. And the brain can’t relax, just as it is in the daytime.

US professor Jerome Siegel told Smithsonian magazine, “If something unusual happens—if a door opens or you hear a key in a lock—you can be alert（警惕的）, even though the sound is quite low.” It works to protect us in a dangerous environment.

More surprisingly, this situation is similar to the way some animals sleep. Whales, dolphins, and many birds can sleep with half of their brain while the other half stays awake, with its one eye staying open.

If you have ever had what you think is “first night effect”, researchers suggest that you bring your own pillow（枕头） or sleep in a room similar to your bedroom next time you sleep away from home.

【1】The cause of “first night effect” is that_____________ .

A.the left brains begin to relax B.the right brains have a hard time

C.one side of the brains is more active D.two sides of the brains need more rest

【2】Researchers find that “first night effect”_____________ .

A.protects people from danger B.helps animals sleep better

C.affects less in the daytime D.causes something unusual

【3】To solve the problem of “first night effect”, we’re advised to_____________ .

A.study the pictures of more animals B.learn from the way animals sleep

C.lie in a more comfortable bed D.get used to new environments

【4】The passage might be taken from a part of a_____________ .

A.travel poster B.news report

C.science magazine D.school notice

26、Ma Baoli is a pilot with the Dalian branch of China Southern Airlines, in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province. He has won the name “poetic captain” for his passion for poems.

While flying over the Yellow River, he thinks of this verse (诗) :“① Do you not see the Yellow River come from the sky, rush into the sea, and never come back?” Above the Yangtze River, he recites (吟诵) : “② Wave after wave, the Yangtze River roars east, sweeping away with it all our heroes.”

The poets of ancient China could not have flown to such heights, and yet they wrote poems that perfectly described the beauty of nature, ” says Ma.

His father, who worked hard to feed the family through farming and fishing, used to paint on the white walls of their house and write poems to match the paintings. “I enjoyed watching my father do these things and listening to him recite poems.
