2013高考英语二轮（阅读理解）能力提升演练（05）及答案
（******）
Just put on your special clothes in the morning and you could jump 3 meters into the air and even carry more than 60 kilograms without getting tired. The walk to school would be very, very easy. Such sophisticated clothing is one of the products that could be created using "wearable robotics"technology.
Designed to improve a person's senses and skills, the device (装置) could be as simple as a hearing aid. Or it could be a full-body suit that senses what you're going to do, then helps you do it better.
Robot legs help a man carry a heavy load.
"A Superman suit would be the final result in wearable robotics, "said Francois Pin, head of robotics and energy systems at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (橡树岭国有验室), US. While these suits are at least ten years away, in some are- as the technology is already in use.
Researchers are developing artificial arms and legs that allow old, disabled or injured people to move freely.
A robot is a device that responds to a command. You've probably played with simple robots, such as toy cars or airplanes that respond to buttons you push on a remote control (遥控).
Wearable robotics goes further. Instead of just receiving information through a wire or remote control, the robotic de- vice can send information back to its controller.
Suppose you wore a sleeve (袖子) that has sensors where your joints (关节) are. Every time you move your arm, the sleeve senses your movements and sends the information to a robot, which then moves its arm just as you did. When the robot hits or touches something, it sends a signal back to the sleeve and you sense the action.
In this way, scientists are working to wrap the robot around the person. Their goal is to make the sleeve, shoe or suit help you do what you want to do.

Five years ago，when I was diagnosed to be HIV positive，I didn’t know what to do.I felt I was alone in this world.I did not disclose my status to my family.I kept everything to myself until I was introduced to a peer support.The group was very welcoming.I found people in a situation like me，and I am not alone.I committed my services and support to that peer group.
Eventually，I felt something was missing.There was a feeling of emptiness.My family does not know where I work and where I stay.They cannot visit me，but on the contrary I am compelled to visit them regularly in the province.A five long hours of journey from Manila going South.Tiring!
Many of my peers are gone.Most are not accepted by their families.Some did not even disclose their HIV status.Many are bedridden without a family member on their side to care for them.A painful death，the way I see it.Other’s experiences prompted me to think about disclosing my status to my family.I started in subtle(微妙的) ways like bringing home a panel of AIDS Memorial Quilt where I can do patchwork(缝制) for a lost friend.The AIDS Memorial Quilt started the conversation until eventually I was able to disclose my HIV status to my family.Nothing has changed with our relationship within the family.They have accepted me and treated the same way as if I do not have HIV.I am more comfortable and happy now.
Family is still the best support system for an individual like me.An enabling，non-discriminating environment is a big factor in order to live long and healthy for positive people.
