For.the first time in his life,Pete Peeks was able to use both hands to hang Christmas lights outside his
house-thanks to the help of a high school robotics team.Peeks,38,was born without the full use of his right hand,
and though many may take hanging holiday lights for granted,Peeks said it was beyond his wildest dreams.
Peeks was a client of the Sequoyah High Schooi Robotics Team in Canton,Georgia.The team has designed an
3D-printed prostheses (to send for free to people around the worid who need them.
Daniel McCrobie,the team leader,said that while the clients have said they are benefiting from the products,
they are also benefiting by learning about the challenges other people face and how technology.can make a
difference."Many of the prosthetics people can get the conventonal way are very expensive,and even if you are
fortunate enougn to get coverage,children grow out ofithem like they grow out of shoes,"he said.
The inexpensive production through 3D printing opens up access to more people who need prostheses,and
also means that they can be more customized to the clients'unique bodies and specific needs.Peeks said the team
was able to make educated recommendations for his prosthesis when he met with them."They went beyond
expectations in terms of really assessing the situation and learning what my specific needs were,"he said."They
were able to make some measurements to make sure everything was fitted correctly."And within a couple of weeks,
he said,he had a prototype()ready to try on."Their eagerness to want to help and use technology to really
transform people's lives has been a great example of humans helping humans,"Peeks said.
That practice of giving is something McCrobie hopes will continue when he graduates.The team is currently
working on documenting their processes to pass them on to future classes.

Reading is a complex and crucial skill that impacts the youth's ability to perform as students.Therefore,it's
important to develop reading skills during chiidhood.A team of researchers focused on the effect of whole-body
learning in instruction,known as embodied learning.
The research included 149 children,aged 5 to 6,who had just started school.They were divided into three
groups:one that stood up aud used their whole bodies to shape letter sounds;a seated group that shaped letter
sounds with their hands and arms;and a control group that received traditional,seated instruction during which
they wrote letters by hand.
"Our research showed that children who used their whoie bodies to shape the sounds of letters became twice
as proficient at letter sounds that are more difficult to leam as those who received traditional instruction,"
says PhD student Linn Damsgaard of UCPH's Department of Nutrition,Exercise and Sports.
With regard to difficult letter sounds,she adds,"There are many difficult letter sounds in Danish.These
sounds are particularly important because once children become proficient at them,they will be better readers."
Assoctate professor Jacob Wienecke,who ied the study,explains,"The primary goal is to learn more about
which methods can be used to give beginner readers a good start.The idea is that if,through play and movement,
we can iearn where their strengths truly lie,we'll create a form of learning that combines reading with play,and
that's truly positive."
Previously,the researchers showed that the children felt more motivated by teaching methods which included
physical movement.Jacob Wienecke hopes this will provide an opportunity to inspire teachers and school
managers to prioritize moyement across subjects.
The study also investigated whether a direct effect of embodied learning could be found on children's reading
of individual words.This was not possible,which might be due to the fact that the children were at such an eariy

stage of their literacy development that they could not yet use their knowledge of letter sounds to read words.
46.What were the participants required to do in the study?
A.To pick out difficult letter sounds in Danish.
B To learn new letters through repeated writing.
C.To learn letter sounds using different approaches.
D.To memorize some letter sounds as soon as possible.
17.How can embodied learning get children actively involved?
A.By combining learning with games.
B.By offering them chances to cooperate.
C.By inspiring them to overcome difficulties.
D.By cxplaining instructions to them patiently.
48.What does Jacob expect of the:esearch finding?
A.Promoting harmonious teacher-student relationships.
B.Urging schools to pay attention to physical exercise.
C.Enabling researchers to carry out further studies.
D.Encouraging edueators to apply it to teaching.
49.What does the last paragranh intend to tell us?
A.Children prefer learning step by step.
B.Children are too little to use their knowledge smartly
C.Children lack enough practice to get fully improved.

People are being lured onto Facebook with the promise of a fun,free service,and don't realize that they're
paying for it by giving up loads of personal information.Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their
data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.Most Facebook users don't realize this is happening.Even
if they know what the company is up io,they still have no idea what they're paying for Facebook,because people
don't really know what their personal details are worth.
The biggest problem,however,is that the company keeps changing the rules.Early on,you could keep
everything private.That was the great thing about racebook-you could create your own little private network.
Last year,the company changed its privacy rules so that many things-your city,your photo,your friends'names
-were set,by default,to be shared with everyone on the Internet.
According to Facebook's vice president Elliot Schrage,the company is simply making changes to improve its
service,and if people don't share information,they have a"less satisfying experience."
DSome critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money.Its original business model,
which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page,totally failed.Who wants to look at ads when
they're online connecting with their friends?
第6页/共7页
The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington.InApril,Senator Charles Schumer
called on Facebook to change its privacy policy.He also urged the Commission to set guidelines for
social-networking sites."I think the senators rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new
products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,"Schrage admits.
I suspect that whatever Facebook has dore so far to invade our privacy,it's only the beginning,which is why
I'm considering deactivating my accoum.Facebook is a handy site,but I'm upset by the idea that my information is
in the hands of people I don't trust.That is too high a price to pay.
51.What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?
A.It is a website that sends messages to targeted users
B.It makes money by putting on advertisements.
C.It earns money by selling its user's personal data
D.It provides a lot of information to its users
52.What does the author say about most Facebook users?
A.They don't know their personal data enriches Facebook
B.They are unwilring to give up their personal information
C.They don't identify themselves when using website
D.They care very little about their personal informaticn
53.Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?
A:To help its users make more friends
B.To obey the Federal guidelines
C.To make money by attracting more users
D.To offer better service to its users
54.What does Senator Charles Schumer argue for?
A.Setting guidelines for adverusing on websites
B.Setting rules for social-networking sites
C.Stopping sharing user's personal information
D.Removing ads from all social-networking sites
55.Why does the author plan to stop using his Facebook account?
A.He is dissatisfied with its service.
B.He finds many of its users untrustworthy.
C.He doesn't want his personal data abused.
D.He is upset by its frequent rule changes.
