Ⅰ. 阅读理解
Virtual (虚拟的) reality, or VR, is a powerful, new technology.
VR software programmes are being used in many video games. But others have been developed for education, to train doctors and in military (军事的) training.
VR gives the people who use it an interactive threedimensional (三维的) experience. They can see realistic pictures and hear sounds that are almost like those one experiences in real life.
Khora Virtual Reality opened earlier this year in Denmark's capital, Copenhagen. It may be the first virtual reality store in the world. It is a place where people can learn about virtual reality and create and play it. The Greek philosopher Plato used the word “Khora” to describe a place between reality and fantasy.
In the company's VR game “Cityscape Repairman”, players must operate a huge urban infrastructure (基础建设). Each person must take care of the city's roads and public services to continue playing. Simon Lajboschitz is the CEO of Khora. He says the company's developers do more than creating games.
“We work with artists in New York. We work with the main city hospital here. We work with dementia (痴呆). We work with businesses to tell a new way of telling stories ...”
Morten Haulik is the company's event manager.
“It's super important to give people the experience of actually walking around in the world, interacting with stuff. It could be the Great Wall of China or the space station or things like that, but if you really need to learn something about it, you actually need to see it, touch it and interact with it in real life.”
Khora's leaders believe helping students get interested in this technology might persuade some of them to work in the industry, and gain a share in the future market.
