     Imagine having a bedroom that interacts with you. If you're sad, it will arrange for some of your friends
to come over to cheer you up. If you're happy, it might respond by playing your favorite game with you.
     Does it sound like something out of a science-fiction movie? Well, it's really something out of the Georgia
Institute of Technology. Irfan Essa works at the computer lab there. He has developed a computer system
that can look at you and recognize your mood. He calls it the "expression recognition system." Essa says, "We
are trying to get computers to act like a human brain. But the human brain is not like one computer, it is like
many working together."
     In Essa's system, many computers work together. First, a camera in the bedroom takes a picture of your
face. The camera feeds the image to a computer. In the computer's memory, there are pictures showing how
the muscles of your face move when you are in different moods. For example, cheek muscles move in one
way when you are happy and smiling and in another way when you are nervous and tense. The computer
compares your picture to the face-muscle images stored in its memory. It tries to find the best match.
That's how it figures out your mood! Then the computer sends messages to other computers in the system.
If you look happy, a computer may put on lively music. If you look tired and discouraged, a different
computer may turn on the TV for you.
     How could the "expression recognition system" help us in important ways? Essa thinks that the system
can help us create computers that are better teachers. Many people learn new skills through computer
programs. "When I teach, I look at people's faces," Essa explains. "If my students look confused, I know
they didn't understand. With this technology, a computer canal-so know if a student is learning."
     Today, this new technology can be found only in labs, but Essa predicts we'll see it out of the lab in a
few years. So get ready. One day, you might walk into a room that will soon become your best friend.

閱讀短文，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容回答問(wèn)題。
These days, many Chinese people are happy about a piece of news. What is it? China may become the second largest economy (經(jīng)濟(jì)體) in the world. It’s only behind the US.
But is China the second richest country, too?
No. The economy is like a cake. The US, Japan and China each makes one. China makes the second biggest cake. But lots of people have to eat it. Why? There are 1.3 billion people in China. And there are only 300 million people in the US and 127 million in Japan. So, in China, each person only gets a very, very small piece of cake. But people in the US and Japan have bigger pieces.
China is not as rich as the US and Japan. For example, in the US, in every 100 people, 75 can surf the Internet; in Japan it is 74 in 100. But in China, only 26 people in 100 use the Internet.
China’s large economy brings good things. People in China have more jobs and money. We also have more influence (影響) in the world.
【小題1】China is the second largest economy in the world, isn’t it?
                                                     
【小題2】Why isn’t China as rich as the US and Japan?
                                                     
【小題3】How many people in 100 can use the Internet in China?
                                                     
【小題4】Who can get bigger pieces of cake, Chinese or Americans?
