Facebook says it is working on technology to allow us to control computers directly with our brains. It is developing "silent speech" software to allow people to type at a rate of 100 words per minute, it says. The project, in its early stages, will require new technology to detect brainwaves without needing invasive operation. "We are not talking about monitoring your random thoughts," assured Facebook's Regina Dugan. "You have many thoughts, and you choose to share some of them. We're talking about monitoring those words. A silent speech interface(界面) — one with all the speed and flexibility(灵活) of voice. "

Ms Dugan is the company's head of Building 8, the firm's hardware research lab. The company said it intends to build both the hardware and software to achieve its goal, and has employed a team of more than 60 scientists and academics to work on the project.

On his Facebook page, Mark Zuckerberg added, "Our brains produce enough data to stream four HD(高清) movies every second. The problem is that the best way we have to get information out into the world-speech can only send about the same amount of data as a 1980s modem. We're working on a system that will let you type straight from your brain about five times faster than you can type on your phone today. Finally, we want to turn it into a wearable technology that can be produced in quantity. "

Technology is going to have to get a lot more advanced before we can share a pure thought or feeling, but this is a first step. Other ideas detailed at the company's developers conference in San Jose included work to allow people to "hear" through skin. The system, comparable to Braille, uses pressure points on the skin to pass information. "One day, not so far away, it may be possible for me to think in Chinese, and you to feel it instantly in Spanish," Ms Dugan said.

I want to tell you something about my weekend. 1 Saturday morning, I usually get up very early. It is about 8:00 a.m. I often run with my father around my apartment (公寓). After I 2 my breakfast, I often go shopping with my mother. The shopping centre is far from our home, 3 we go there by bus. We spend about 20 minutes 4 there. The shopping centre has a 5 name. It is called Louis Mall. It doesn't have 6 Chinese name.

There are many things there, such as food, meat, clothes, shoes and so on. There 7 lots of people every day. Do you know 8 so many people come here to buy things? Let 9 tell you. The 10 there always smile. How kind they are! If you come to my home, I can take you there and have a look.

Please read the passage carefully. Choose five proper sentences from the six to fill in the gaps. Make sure that the passage is coherent (连贯).

In the 1950s, car culture was very popular across the US. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} This led people to create new businesses that depended on cars-gas stations, auto shops, and not least of all drive-in restaurants. 

{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Instead, you would drive your car to an outdoor "booth"—a parking spot with a menu shown next to it. A waitress would come over (usually on roller skates) and take your order. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Eating in your car is seen as something to be done only when you're in a hurry these days. But back then, it was new experience. Sitting in your brand-new vehicle, drinking delicious milkshakes and eating burgers became a trend. Like all trends, it died out eventually—most drive-ins have been replaced by drive-thrus (驾车通过的快餐厅). 

{#blank#}4{#/blank#} They are McDonald's and KFC． They became popular as the pace of modern life in increased in the 1970s and 1980s. They are not known for the experience that drive-ins once offered. Rather, they offer up speed and convenience, especially for parents and other busy people. 

I remember eating McDonald's for launch in the back seat of my mom's car as we did something on the weekend. The convenience of drive-thrus is nice. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
