21、Putting a microchip（芯片）into one’s brain brings the world a super hero, which is common in sci-fi movies. However, we may find it possible in reality.
Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX and co-founder of electric car maker Tesla—has been working on this technology. On Aug 28, Musk gave a livestream demonstration of the chip, which was implanted into the head of a pig named Gertrude.
The chip, developed by Musk’s company, is the size of a coin. But don’t let its size fool you. The tiny chip has over 3, 000 electrodes（电极）attached to flexible threads, which can monitor about 1, 000 neurons（神经元）. It collects neural signals from an area of the brain, and then transmits those signals wirelessly to nearby computers. In the livestream, Gertrude could be seen walking around sniffing the ground while a monitor showed her brain activity.
Though the technology is still in its early stage, it is encouraging for humans. This technology “would solve a lot of brain injuries”, which allows the human brain to combine with an artificial intelligence, Musk said.
When the device can be applied to humans, its main goal will be to help those who have mobility issues, such as those suffering from paralysis. Musk hopes this technology could also be used to help those with hearing and eyesight issues and one day lead to a cure for epilepsy（癫痫）.
Although such a device could, in principle, repair those problems, putting it into practice is by no means a piece of cake. Currently, the device can transmit signals from about 500 neurons in the pig’s brain. Compared to 80 billion neurons in a human brain, this number is tiny. And to cover the whole human brain also means the electrodes have to be much smaller. Also, implanting the chip into the brain poses a potential danger. There is a possibility of the immune system attacking this foreign body.
Right now, the hope of controlling the brain via controlling a few neurons seems overly optimistic. “There are many technological challenges...to overcome before Neuralink can put its devices to the purposes,” Yuan Lanfeng, an associate professor at the University of Science and Technology of China, told China Daily.
【1】What do we know about Elon Musk’s microchip according to the first three paragraphs？
A．It is able to collect wireless signals.
B．It was inspired by sci-fi movie plots.
C．It is tiny in size but powerful in function.
D．It has no more than 1, 000 electrodes.
【2】What is the major goal of the microchip in human applications？
A．To develop a cure for epilepsy.
B．To monitor animals’ brain activity.
C．To contribute to the research in Al technologies.
D．To help people with difficult in moving freely.
【3】What do paragraphs 6 mainly talk about？
A．Key differences between pigs’ and humans’ brains.
B．Hidden challenges and risks in practice.
C．Implanting the chip costs a lot.
D．The immune system is the major problem to the implant.
【4】How does Yuan Lanfeng feel about implanting the chip into the human brain？
A．Excited.
B．Cautious.
C．Optimistic.
D．Worried.
22、Obviously!
Until Descartes came along in the seventeenth century, everyone assumed that we exited. Obviously. The fact seemed so mind-blowing obvious that it wasn’t really discussed. We could see ourselves in the mirror, we could feel pain and pleasure, we could think thoughts for ourselves and, more importantly, perhaps, all the world’s main religions assumed that we do exist. So we exist.
No you don’t it!
You don’t exist. That’s because it’s impossible to show once and for all that you do. There’s no proof. You might think you exist-that you are sitting at a table reading this book, for instance-but how could you show with 100 percent certainty that this is true? There’s no experiment that could prove it. Although Descartes said just you could prove your own existence by the fact that you are able to think, this isn’t actually, according to the British philosopher A. J. Ayer. Just because we know that we are thinking, this doesn’t mean that there is a “you” doing the thinking. It just shows that the thoughts are happening, not that anyone is having them. Thoughts exists, “You” don’t.
_____________!
What a waste of time this question is. Although you can argue until the end of time whether you exist or not, it doesn’t get you anywhere. Unless you forget about this unanswerable question, you’ll be stuck thinking about it forever, and that isn’t of any use to anyone. Move on. Think about something more important! This very roughly, is the view of almost all philosophers, who prefer to answer other, apparently more useful, questions.
Yes, but…
You exist, but not in the way you might think. According to the great French philosopher Ren Descartes, you can’t show that anything exists—apart from your own self. The existence of the entire world can be doubted in one way or another, but the facts you’re having thoughts shows that there might be something (that’s you) having them. This let Descartes to write the famous philosophical phrase, “ I think before I am”.
【1】Which of the following can be the missing heading?
A. Forget about it B. What a ridiculous point
C. Think about it D. What a pointless question
【2】This passage is anything but a(n)___________.
A. comment B. discussion
C. argument D. debate
【3】The famous answer to the question “Do I exist?” is ___________.
A. No, you don’t exist.
B. I think, therefore, I am.
C. Yes, you do exist.
D. It won’t get you anywhere
