At the age of 16, Einstein always played with a group of mischievous (顽皮捣蛋的) kids. Because he was so busy playing, he didn’t study enough and failed his final exam.
One morning, when Einstein was holding a fishing rod (钓鱼竿) and was about to go fishing with his friends, his father stopped him and said calmly, “Einstein, you spent so much time playing that you failed your exam. I’m worried about your future.”
“What are you worried about? Jack and Robert also failed, but don’t they still get to go fishing?”
“My boy, you can’t think like that” his dad said.
“There is a story that people tell in our hometown. I will tell it to you now.”
“There were two cats playing on a roof. One cat got caught and fell down the chimney (烟囱) while holding the other cat. When the two cats climbed out of the chimney, one of the cats had soot (烟灰) on his face, while the other cat’s face was clean. Seeing the dirty cat, the clean cat thought its face must be dirty, so it quickly ran to the river and washed its face. The dirty cat saw the clean cat and thought its face was also clean, so the dirty cat just swaggered down the street” “Einstein, no one can be your ‘mirror’ (镜子). You have to think for yourself. If you just do what everyone else does, you will never learn.” Hearing this, Einstein put down his fishing rod and returned to his room. He decided to pay more attention to his studies and less attention to what his friends were doing. This allowed him to be successful.

①Imagine this: you and your friend are on a video call. He or she picks up a book and you feel like you’re holding the book as well. You can shake hands or give your friend a high five, even though you’re apart.
②A pair of special gloves might make this a reality. Researchers at the University of New South Wales, Australia, have made gloves that can recreate the sense of touch. They call this haptic device (触觉装置), a “soft skin stretch device” (SSD).
③The SSD works like this: One user’s gloves create 3D force signals when they touch something. The signals are sent to the other user’s gloves, which vibrate (震动) to create the same force that the first user is experiencing. This allows the second user to experience the same sense of touch.
④The SSD allows you to feel force, vibration and movement. “It is like wearing a second skin,” said Thanh Nho Do, one of the researchers who created the gloves.
⑤Haptic technology is already being widely used. For example, the track pads (触控板) in laptops use vibration to make it feel like you’re clicking a real mouse. However, it is difficult to recreate the sense of touch in unreal environments or in a far place, according to Mai Thanh Thai, lead researcher of the SSD project. The SSD is special because it has a high level of sensitivity even when it is used without stopping. This makes it feel more realistic.
⑥The SSD could be used in medical practice. Two doctors in separate places could work together during an operation—one touches the patient’s organs (器官) with the SSD while the other doctor feels the same feeling and completes the operation.
根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。
41．How does the writer start the passage?
A．By comparing. B．By telling a story. C．By describing the situation.
42．What does “SSD” in the passage refer to?
A．A video chat app.
B．A special pair of gloves.
C．A real mouse of the compute
43．What is Paragraph ③ mainly about?
A．How the SSD works.
B．What the SSD is used for.
C．What the SSD allows users to feel.
44．Which of the following situations can’t use SSD to help?
A．Company managers in different countries shake hands.
B．Friends in separate cities share delicious smell of a dish.
C．Doctors in different places work together to help a patient.
45．What’s the best title for the passage?
A．The way to use SSD B．The introduction of SSD C．The development of SSD

That’s all. Thank you!
