To have the camera installed in the back of his head, Iraqi-born Wafaa Bilal had to undergo a painful surgical procedure to tuck the camera firmly under his scalp.

The camera is at least small - just the size of a thumbnail and less than an inch thick - but it will be switched on 24 hours a day for an entire year.

The camera will take a photograph every single minute, digitally capturing every aspect of Wafaa Bilal's life.

The images will then be beamed from New York, where the artist lives, to the Middle East, where the photographs will be displayed at Qatar's new Arab Museum of Modern Art.

The artist says the project will raise important social, political and artistic questions, and has vowed to go about his daily life as normal.

But he admits some things, like sleeping for example, will be a bit tricky. He now has to sleep sitting upright, and cannot use a pillow. There's also the question of privacy. Wafaa Bilal says dinner party invitations have already started drying up.

21. Where will the camera be installed？______

A. In the back of the artist’s head, inside the cap.

B. On the back of the artist’s head, attached to a cloth.

C. In the back of the artist’s head, outside the cap.

D. In the back of the artist’s head, under the scalp.

22. What will the artist do with the camera？_________

A. To record his life in Iraq.

B. To record his life in another country in the middle east.

C. To record his life in New York.

D. To record his life in Hollywood.

23. Which of the following can be used to describe the artist’s life after the installation？_________

include robot vacuum cleaners that "decide" what to react to human behaviors without human intervention.

The University of the West of England's David McGoran takes his Heart Robot on a touchy feely tour, allowing it to come face to face with a spider-like robot built by Matt Denton of Micromagic Systems. Both robots are being displayed at the London Science Museum until July 31st.

The heart robot that "enjoys" being hugged and stroked could be among the first robots to signify a new era of "emotional machines" used for medical treatment and enjoyment, according to one of its inventors.

It has a beating heart which rises when the body is shaken, but slows down when treated calmly. In addition, Heart's eyes flutter in response to touch.

David McGoran, of the University of the West of England, predicts the part-puppet, part-machine creation he helped develop is an example of how robots will increasingly adopt human characteristics. "Right now we're seeing the first implementations in toys, "he told BBC News. "There are little robotic dinosaurs. There's a new robotic toy from the film Wall-E that's coming out, and that's a very expressive robot." Nevertheless he believes there could be major implications for social care, with research already taking place into giving elderly care homes robots that express emotions.

"This raises really interesting social and ethical questions," said Mr. McGoran. He added that there could be many benefits, particularly for people taking medical treatment. "If scientists can put this natural interface into robots then it would be much easier for us to relate to robots. "

The Heart Robot is on display alongside a face-tracking insect-like robot. The "ic Hexapod" by Micromagic Systems has been programmed to recognize human facial features and follow people as they move around. It tracks human faces and takes photos. Like the Heart Robot, it is billed as an example of the increasingly sophisticated ways in which machines are able to recognize and mimic human behavior.

Mr. McGoran went to London because______.

A．he wants to take his robot on a touchy feely tour

B．he wants to see Matt Denton

C．he wants to show the spider-like robot

D．heart robot will be displayed there

attention of his industry by going to work in one of the company's packaging facilities for two months. Why has ha done this？ 'Definitely not for marketing purposes,' he says. 'Though I know that other people in my position have done that. My background's in finance rather than the operational side -and I must admit that I feel a bit out of touch. So what I'm interested in is getting to know the people working in an important part of the business.'

Attwood's packaging facility is unusual in that the number of manual workers there is double that in similar companies. Attwood has a reputation for innovation, which explains why, although some extremely up-to- date machinery has just been installed, the majority of the work is still done by hand. Traditional machines simply cannot process certain brochures and other products quickly and cheaply enough.

At first, Attwood was embarrassed by his lack of speed in comparison with the other workers. Now he feels he is beginning to catch up. He had thought that money was the main motivation and that payment by results was the best way of ensuring quick and efficient work. He now realises that while factors such as the type of background music being played have some short-term effect on speed, most workers keep up with other people simply in order to ensure an efficient style. that works for everybody.

Attwood was confident at the start that the work would allow him to experience problems directly for himself. Now, after seven weeks, however, he realises that the most useful knowledge comes from listening to others, learning about their years of experience - and being able to ask questions.

He is also pleased that any early coldness shown towards him has now disappeared and most workers feel confident that he takes their work seriously. They also now feel that they can be honest with him. Attwood has listened to complaints about Iow wages and the fact that management are seen to have more flexibility than workers and more opportunities for promotion. The workers' openness has already had results. Vacancies have started to be displayed throughout the company and interested staff of all levels are encouraged to apply.

As the two-month period approaches its end, Attwood feels 'amazingly positive' about the experience: 'I've had to think more about how and why we do things than I've done for years,' 'he says.

Why did Attwood decide to work in one of his company's packaging facilities？

A．to gain publicity for the company

B．to make contact with the workforce

C．to look for ways of controlling costs
