    ​Read and answer the question🔽 Communication was still slow—it takes around a minute to select each letter. But researchers believe the device has significantly improved the man’s quality of life. He has asked for specific meals and soups, and asked to watch films with his young son, for example. One sentence translated as “I love my cool son.” No one knows how long the electrodes will last in the man’s brain, but other studies have found that similar electrodes are still functioning five years after being implanted in other people. But for a locked-in person, “a single day can make a difference,” says Kianoush Nazarpour at the University of Edinburgh, who was not involved in the work. “That is a fundamental opportunity for them to regain choice and control of their lives,” he says. “A day of high quality could be really important for that person.” Nazarpour thinks that the technology could be offered to similarly locked-in individuals within the next 10 to 15 years. “For a person that has absolutely no communication, even a “yes”/”no” is potentially life-changing,” he says.

    ​Key vocabulary for reading: 🔴Scrap – cancel ; 🔴Approach – a way of considering or doing something; 🔴Descending – becoming lower ; 🔴Dismiss - to decide that something or someone is not important and not worth considering; Read and answer the question🔽 The day after the electrode was implanted, the team began trying to help the man communicate. At first, the man was asked to imagine making physical movements—the idea is to get a reliable signal from the brain, and translate this into some kind of command. But the team couldn’t get it to work. After 12 weeks of trying, they scrapped the idea and decided to try an approach called neurofeedback instead.Neurofeedback works by showing a person their brain activity in real time so that they can learn how to control it. In this case, when the electrodes in the man’s brain recorded an increase in activity, a computer would play a rising audio tone. A fall in brain activity would play a descending tone. Within two days, he was able to increase and decrease the frequency of a sound tone,” “It was just incredible.” The man eventually learned to control his brain activity so that he could play a rising tone to signal “yes” and a descending tone to signal “no.” The man would hear the word “yellow” or “blue” for example, to choose a block of letters from which to select. He would then be played individual letters and use a rising or descending tone to either select or dismiss each. In this way, the man was soon able to communicate entire sentences. One of the first sentences the man spelled was translated as “boys, it works so effortlessly.”

    ​Yesterday you watched a video about the new technology which gives people hope. Here’s an article to dig a bit deeper. It might be difficult for the beginners but it’s worth reading. Key vocabulary for reading: 🔴Eye tracking -the process of measuring the motion of an eye; 🔴spell sth out - to say or write the letters of a word in the correct order; 🔴consent - permission for something to happen or agreement to do something On meeting the man in February 2018, a scientist Chaudhary tried to automate the communication system that the family was already using. The team connected an eye-tracking device to computer software that would read out colors and row numbers, allowing the man to select letters one at a time using his eye movements to spell out words. But as the man increasingly lost control over his eye movements, he became less able to communicate using that device, too. “We proposed implanting [an electrode],” says Chaudhary. Tiny electrodes can be implanted in the brain to record the electrical activity of brain cells directly. The procedure—which tends to involve drilling a hole in the skull and cutting away the brain’s protective layers—comes with a small risk of infection and damage to the brain. But there was no other choice. His wife and sister also gave their consent.

    ​Key vocabulary before reading: 🔴Accessible - able to be reached or easily got; 🔴Accomplishment - something that is successful, or that is achieved after a lot of work or effort; Read about Wordle and answer the question.⬇️ Wardle also thinks the game is so popular because it's simple and accessible, yet also challenging. "Even though I play it every day, I still feel a sense of accomplishment when I do it: it makes me feel smart, and people like that." Part of the appeal of Wardle's game is that it harks back to a more innocent age of the internet, gaming experts say. Users have grown cynical about many apps' ethically dubious use of their data and attempts to monetise game play or foster addictive behaviour. The New York Times bought Wordle in January for a price in the "low seven figures," meaning it spent at least $1 million on the rights to the viral game.

    ​Key vocabulary before reading: 🔴to snowball - to grow, gain momentum; Read about Wordle and answer the question.⬇️ As its popularity has snowballed on social media, Wardle, a software engineer based in Brooklyn who is originally from Wales, has begun to feel overwhelmed by the reaction. "It going viral doesn't feel great to be honest. I feel a sense of responsibility for the players. I feel I really owe it to them to keep things running and make sure everything's working correctly. But he takes comfort in the knowledge that his game has brought joy to people at a difficult time. "I get emails from people who say things like 'hey, we can't see our parents due to Covid at the moment but we share our Wordle results each day. During this weird situation it's a way for people to connect in a low effort.

    ​Key vocabulary before reading: 🔴worldwide - international; 🔴rise – success; 🔴anxiety - a feeling of worry, nervousness; 🔴excitement - a feeling of great enthusiasm. 🔴grassroots - popular with people; 🔴push notification - alert messages 🔴sign up - personal email address. Read about Wordle and answer the question.⬇️ Josh Wardle developed a game to play with his partner - and now more than 2m others have joined in making it a worldwide sensation. It is a simple online word puzzle, which has had a incredible rise since its launch last autumn, from go daily players in November to 300,000 at the beginning of January, to 2 million last weekend. But, for its creator, the game's rapid success has resulted in as much anxiety as excitement. The game has become an unexpected grassroots hit for Josh Wardle, who developed it for his puzzle-loving partner. The pair played it for fun on their sofa, and other users slowly began to join them. Every day, there is a new word to guess, and players get just six chances to identify it. Wordle's popularity is thought to be partly because, in an era of apps aggressively competing for your attention and time, the game was built to be played once a day, and without functions designed to promote its growth such as push notifications and email sign ups.
