Ⅲ.阅读理解
A Northern Ireland team is leading the research for a thinking computer which can sense a user's moods(情绪)．Researchers at Queen's University in Belfast hope to complete the 10－million －euro project for an emotion－sensitive(感知情感功能的)computer within four years.
The aim is to make computers think and do things more like humans. And 160 researchers join in the project. The university's researchers made an agreement with the European Commission. The work may try to make “multi－modal interfaces (界面)”which allow machines to sense and respond to the moods of the user.
Programme coordinator (协调者) Professor Roddy Cowie said while it sounded like science fiction，computers which responded to human feelings would appear.
“At the moment，our use of computers is limited by the fact that we need a keyboard and a screen to access(使用) them，”he said.
“But feelings are part of normal speech, a nd experience has shown that most users are deeply uncomfortable with speech interfaces that ignore them－too uncomfortable to use them very much.”
“If we can make computers more expressive, and also less challenging to use，there is a great chance to let people make full use of information technology.”
The emotion－sensitive computer would have its own “personality” and build a social relationship with the user.
“It's a fair bet that in 30 years' time, emotion－sensitive interfaces will be as much part of life as windows and mouse interfaces are now，”said Professor Cowie.
The project team believes such computers would play an important part in teaching and learning.
