21、Microsoft has developed a new smart phone app that identify eye signals and translates them into letters, allowing people with motor neurone disease (运动神经元症) to communicate with others from a phone.
The GazeSpeak app combines a smartphone’s camera with artificial intelligence to recognize eye movements immediately and change them into letters, words and sentences.
For people suffering from ALS (渐冻症) , also known as motor neurone disease, eye movement can be the only way they are able to communicate.
“Current eye-tracking input systems for people with ALS are expensive, not strong under sunlight, and require frequent re-adjustment and material, relatively steady setups,” said Xiaoyi Zhang, a researcher at Microsoft who developed the technology.
“To ease off the disadvantages, we created GazeSpeak, an eye-gesture communication system that runs on a smartphone, and is designed to be low-cost, strong, portable and easy to learn.”
The app is used by the listener by pointing their smartphone at the speaker. A chart that can be stuck to the back of the smartphone is then used by the speaker to determine which eye movements to make in order to communicate.
The sticker shows four grids of letters, which each is equal to a different eye movement. By looking up, down, left or right, the speaker selects which grids the letters they want belong to. The artificial intelligence is then able to predict the word or sentence they are trying to say.
Zhang’s research, Smartphone-Based Gaze Gesture Communication for People with Motor Disabilities, is set to be presented at the Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems in May. (265)

C. They turn to the listeners to speak out the letters for them.
D. They look in the four directions to choose the grid of letters.
【4】Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A. People Suffering From ALS Needs Help

22、One of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to have friends, you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school?
Listen — Listen when they are talking. Don’t say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes it’s not necessary for you to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.
Help them — If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you don’t do everything they want you to do. Try to take an extra (额外的) pencil or pen with you to classes in case (以防) they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need.
Be there for them — Try to make something for your friend to help make them feel better in hard times. Making cards and encouraging them are among the nicest things you can do for a friend. Marilyn Monroe, a famous U.S. actor, once said, “I often make mistakes. Sometimes I am out of control. But if you can’t stay with me at my worst, you are sure not to deserve (值得) to be with me at my best.”
Make plans — Try to make plans with your friends. Go shopping, go for ice cream, have a party, go to a movie and so on. Take time to know each other even better by doing something you both enjoy. By planning things together, you both can have a good time. And you’ll remember these things when you’re all old!

24、When it comes to the history of snow skiing, there is the early history and the modern history. The modern history is tied to the Scandinavian countries. Scandinavian farmers and hunters used skis regularly during the Middle Ages. By the 17th century, the Swedish Amy was competing (竞争) on skis and using them for battle purposes as well.
The history of skiing is complicated (复杂的), and there’s no telling no how many people had their hands in the development of skis over the years. Interestingly enough, skis were used in the Sierra Nevada Mountains during the gold rush, and downhill races were organized by mining camps. By the late 1800s, people all over the world were experimenting with skis and using them for all kinds of purposes.
In 1888, for example, a Norwegian man named Frigidity Nansen crossed Greenland on skis. Nansen kept a journal of this trip, and when this journal was published in 1890, it brought great interest in skiing in both Europe and the United States. This is one of the most important moments in the history of snow skiing.
The history of skiing sees the activity, or sport if you prefer, really taking off around the tur of the 20th century. People started taking on all kinds of skiing challenges in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and the technology continued to get better. The first package ski vacations were offered in and around 1903.
The Winter Olympics only helped the sport become popular. In 1932, both ski jumping and cross-country skiing were events that were featured in the Winter Olympics at Lake Placid. After first featuring as a demonstration (演示) sport a the 1988 Calgary Games, freestyle skiing was introduced to the Winter Olympic programme in 1992. There were 13 events in freestyle skiing at Beijing 2022.
