Several books later , the teenage author still works away in her room, surrounded by shelves full of dark tales about vampires(吸血

Amelia Atwater Rhodes is widely seen as Americas finest teen writer and was named one of Teen Peoples “20 Teens Who Will Change the World.”Born in 1984, she began making up stories when she was about three years old. “I never stopped and said, I want to write,” Amelia remembers. “I lo
23、ved stories and created stories before I was old enough to know how to write them down.”In her family, reading was basic and fun. “My parents encouraged me to read- and to read anything I wanted, so long as I was reading,” she said. “They never restricted what I read. Later, when I started writing,
24、they never criticized what I did or said I was too young. They never said it was impossible for me to achieve what I have.”In her short but successful career, Amelia has tried different styles.

Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.Recently, two researchers, Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated a small robotic wheelchair directed by a
30、persons thoughts.In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.“Our brain has billions of nerve cells. These send signals through the spinal cord (脊髓) to the muscle
