Read the following passage and then choose the most suitable heading from this list for each paragraph of the passage．Note that there is one extra heading．
1．_________
Medical scientists are already putting computer chips directly into the brain to help people with Parkinson’s disease, but in what other ways might computer technology be able to help us? Ray Kurzweil is the author of the successful book The Age of Intelligent Machines and is one of the world’s best computer research scientists．He is researching the possibilities．
2．_________
Kurzweil gets computers to recognize voices．An example of this is Ramona, the virtual hostess of Kurzweil’s homepage, who is programmed to understand what you say．Visitors to the site can have their own conversations with her, and Ramona also dances and sings．
3．_________
Kurzweil uses this technology to help people with physical disabilities．One of his ideas is a “seeing machine”．This will be “l(fā)ike a friend that could describe what is going on in the visible world”, he explains．Blind people will use a visual sensor which will probably be built into a pair of sunglasses．This sensor will describe to the people everything it sees．
4．_________
Another idea, which is likely to help deaf people, is the “l(fā)istening machine”．This invention will recognize millions of words and understand any speaker．This listening machine will also be able to translate into other languages, so even people without hearing problems are likely to be interested in using it．
5．_________
But it is not just about helping people with disabilities．Looking further into the future, Kurzweil sees a time when we will be able to download our entire consciousness onto a computer．This technology probably won’t be ready for at least 50 years, but when it arrives, it means our minds will be able to live forever．

Directions：Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph．These is one extra heading which you do not need．
Effective reading should adopt a correct way, and then you can get more by paying less．Here are some hints for reading effectively．
1．
Don’t choose a rather difficult book or a too easy one for yourself to read．A book full of new words will make you feel discouraged quickly．To understand those new words, you have to turn to the dictionary quite often．It seems that you are not reading the book but the dictionary．It has no fun at all!On the contrary, a too easy one will only waste your time and cannot do any help．The two extremes may at last make you give up reading．So it’s better for you to find a proper book with no more than five new words on each page．
2．
If you come across a new word, do not look it up in a dictionary as quickly as possible．Leave it alone and guess the meaning of it based on the content of the text．This ability is quite necessary in reading．If you know your guess is right later, you will be highly excited at your“success”, and your interest in reading is well stimulated．If a word really hinders you from understanding the whole passage, turn to the dictionary by then．I am sure you can remember this word very well, as it has left you such a deep impression for its“troublesome image”．
3．
To comprehend what you are reading, you should think while you are reading, then form your own ideas on some special issues．Try to scribble some lines – a very short journal, to express your ideas．Your writing does not need to be quite formal but expressive．This practice can make you communicate with the original English authors．Day by day, your way of thinking in English will turn into a native way, which is quite important for English writing．
4．
Language has its own beauty, no matter Chinese or English．Don’t merely take English as a“test”．Take it as an“entertainment”instead and you will enjoy it through learning．
Maybe you should find some beautiful literary works such as a prose or a poem to read, if you like．Try to read them as loudly and impassionedly as you can．During this process, not only you can enjoy yourself by the great emotions of the writers, but also your pronunciation and your manner of speaking English will be improved．
5．
The last but not the least, keep on reading．If you cannot keep it as a habit, you will suffer from paying without gaining．
