When Belquer first joined a team to make a better live music experience for deaf and
hard of-hearing people,he was struck by how they had developed workarounds to enjoy
concerts.“What they were doing at the time was holding balloons to feel the vibrations( 震动)
through their fingers,”Belquer said.He thought the team could make something to help hard-
of-hearing people enjoy live music even more with the technology now available.
Belquer,who is also a musician and theater artist,is now the "Chief Vibration Officer"of
Music: Not Impossible,which uses new technology to address social issues like poverty and
disability access.His team started by tying different vibrating cellphone motors to bodies, but
that didn't quite work.The vibrations were all the same.Eventually,they worked with engineers
to develop a light haptic(触觉的)suit with a total of 24 vibrating plates.There are20 of them
tied to a vest that fits tightly around the body like a hiking backpack,plus one that ties to each
wrist and ankle,When you wear the suit,it's surprising how it feels.
The vibrations are mixed by a haptic DJ who controls the location,frequency and
intensity of feeling across the suits,just as a music DJ mixes sounds in an artful way.“What
we're doing is Selecting and mixing what we want and send it to different parts of the body,"
said the DJ.The haptic suits were just one component of the event.There were American Sign
Language interpreters;the music was captioned on a screen on the stage.
The suits are the star attraction.Lily Lipman,who has auditory processing disorder,lit up
when asked about her experience.“It's cool,because I'm never quite sure if I'm hearing what
other people are hearing,so it's amazing to get the music in my body."
24.What surprised Belquer about people with hearing problems?
A.The attitude they held to life.
B.The way they enjoyed music.
C.The love they had for balloons.
D.The frequency they vibrated fingers.

Bringing species like beavers( 河 狸 )back to England is no longer a priority,the
government said on Friday to criticism from wildlife groups.
A recent report shows that one n six UK species are at risk of extinction.In September
more than 60 conservation organizations reported a significant decline in species due to
expansions in farming and the effects of climate change.In recent years,animals and plants
have been reintroduced by charities as part of efforts to restore the country's reduced
biodiversity
Despite the government allowing this,the Environment,Food and Rural Affairs
Committee concluded in July that there was an absence of long-term plans on how to manage
this. In response,the government has now said that the“reintroduction of species is not a
priority".
The government said it was focused on increasing biodiversity through habitat
restoration.The government's environment department has come under scrutiny(详细审查)for
not doing more to prevent sewage dumping and other forms of pollution in England's
waterways.
Sir Robert Goodwill,chair of the Committee,said he was disappointed with the
government response.Bringing back extinct species is a controversial issue—although farmers
and landowners appear broadly supportive,there are risks of reintroducing new species,and
without clear guidance,problems could arise.
A recent study showed that river barriers similar to those built by beavers can protect
communities at risk of flooding.But there have also been cases documented in Europe where
beavers have built their dams in places that have damaged crops and changed rivers.
Joan Edwards,director of Policy &Public Affairs at The Wildlife Trusts said,
“Reintroducing wildlife must be part of the UK government's arsenal(武器)for tackling nature
loss and climate change—it is astonishing there is no strategy for doing so.”
“The return of wild beavers can help to recreate lost wetlands,with a knock-on effect that
benefits other wildlife including insects,invertebrates and birds.Beavers also slow the flow of
water,which can reduce flood risks to towns and villages,"she said.
28.What does paragraph 2 want to convey?
A.The situation of species in the UKk Severe.
B.Reintroduction of species in the UK is not a priority.
C.Expansions in farming have a great effect on climate change.
D.The UK government's response to reduced biodiversity is disappointing.
29.How did the UK government plan to increase biodiversity?
A.By restoring habitat.
B.By offering guidance.
C.By expanding farming.
D.By developing strategy.
30.What did Joan Edwards think of reintroduction of wildlife?
A.It was messy.
