I wanted to try something that was very different from Australia in culture. In Australia everything was different, but I soon got used to it.

Have you heard of depression(抑郁症)? It's a mental illness. People who have it may feel轮sad all the time or do something to hurt themselves. Now, doctors can put a"happy switch(开关)" in their heads to help them. The "happy switch" is a kind of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI, 脑机接口). It works like a bridge— it connects your brain to a computer. Some BCIs can influence people's brain activities. Some can let people control the computer with their thoughts.

Doctors at Shanghai Ruijin Hospital helped a patient called Wu Xiaotian. Wu, 31, has had depression since he was 15years old.

The doctors did a surgery on Wu. They put two long lines of electrodes(电极) inside his brain. The 16 electrodes are used to let out electricity on different parts of the brain, which can change the patient's feelings. The electrodes are connected to a small "box"—the power source(电源)—inside Wu's body.

Wu can control the"happy switch"remotely via an app on his phone. When feeling down,Wu turns on the switch and the electrodes start working. He is soon cheered up. "It feels like there is power rising from the inside of my body," Wu said.

"The hospital has tested the switch on 26 patients since 2020. Up to now , it has helped cut down a patient's sad feelings by 60 percent," said the hospital.

But is the switch safe enough? Although patients like Wu feel great using it, the implant surgery is actually a dangerous one. Also, doctors have to make sure that patients don't rely on it. Healthy people shouldn't use it, or it may be like a kind of addiction(瘾) for them.

 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。

①Some people think creativity is making something completely new, so they do not think they are creative. But others believe creativity is just showing themselves through everyday acts and they are born creative. The truth is we all have the ability to show creativity.

②Are you someone who loves to read comics (漫画)? Perhaps it is time you create one of your own. Don't worry if you cannot draw very well or feel that you cannot write humorously. Nobody says this is an exam! You only have to please yourself to get the satisfaction. And of course you can share it with your loved ones, or post it on social media.

③Are you someone who likes making videos? Try a vlog, "video blog". In your vlog, you can share your daily life, your travel adventures, your hobbies and skills and many more. The vlog provides you with a platform to create something new every day.

④Are you someone who likes to be alone? Find a small place in your room where you can spend time with yourself. You can pick up a guitar if you like to play instruments, or a few storybooks if you love reading. You may like flowers, candles or pretty things. Decorate your room with them. If you feel bored with them, you can change, add or remove something.

⑤Take every chance to inspire your creativity, no matter how small it is. You might be surprised by what you can create! Start creating and enjoy the wonderful journey.
