Based on the article, which is most likely to happen?

A.Dr. Aszmann will no longer perform bionic reconstructions.
B.New prosthetic hands will soon be manually operated.
C.Milorad Marinkovic will ask that surgeons improve his bionic hand.
D.More people will undergo bionic reconstruction surgery.

Milorad Marinkovic, age 30, lost the use of his right hand in a motorcycle accident in 2001. He never thought he'd be able to control a prosthetic as naturally as he controlled his unaffected hand. Neither did his doctors. But in 2011, Marinkovic replaced his injured hand with a bionic one. It responds to thought, just as a natural hand does.

The patients then needed to learn to use faint signals from those nerves to command the artificial hand. Now, the men use their new, bionic hands to perform everyday tasks. They can pick up a ball, handle small items like coat buttons and shoelaces, and cut food with a knife.

Previously, people with bionic hands have primarily controlled them with manual settings. But with the new groundbreaking technique, the transplanted nerves allow the brain to relay messages directly to the new extremity. It's particularly notable since the human hand contains sophisticated muscle structures and a complex nerve system, making it especially difficult to copy.

Dr. Oskar Aszmann of the Medical University of Vienna developed the bionic reconstruction approach with some of his coworkers. He performed the first surgery in April 2011 on an Austrian named Patrick, then age 24. (Patrick declined to give his last name.) He had lost the use of his left hand as the result of a work injury three years earlier.


"This is the first time we have bionically reconstructed a hand," Dr. Aszmann said at the time. "If I saw these kinds of patients five to seven years ago, I would have just shrugged my shoulders and said, 'There's nothing I can do for you.'"



Aszmann's team described the cases of the three men in a report published in the journal Lancet in February 2015. All three men had suffered injuries to the brachial plexus. This is a network of nerves running from the spine to the shoulder, arm, forearm, and hand, and it controls movement in these areas.



Injuries had left the hands of these men paralyzed. They opted to undergo the elective amputation only after having the bionic hand strapped onto their injured hand. This allowed them to see how the robotic one might work.


Now, after the surgery, Marinkovic loves his new hand. It allows him to hold things like a sandwich or a bottle of water—and most importantly, to play with his three children. Still, the bionic hand is not the same as a natural one.

Not C I got that wrong!

Answer:

Based on the article, the most likely to happen is D. More people will undergo bionic reconstruction surgery. The article describes how Dr. Aszmann and his team have developed a groundbreaking technique for bionic reconstruction that allows the brain to relay messages directly to the new extremity. The article also mentions that three men have already undergone the surgery and are now using their bionic hands to perform everyday tasks. This suggests that the procedure is successful and may become more widely available in the future, leading to more people undergoing bionic reconstruction surgery.

Read the excerpt from a speech that British Prime Minister Winston Churchill made shortly after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. What is Churchill’s intention with this part of the speech?

This is a strange Christmas Eve. Almost the whole world is locked in deadly struggle, and, with the most terrible weapons which science can devise, the nations advance upon each other. Ill would it be for us this Christmastide if we were not sure that no greed for the land or wealth of any other people, no vulgar ambition, no morbid lust for material gain at the expense of others, had led us to the field. Here, in the midst of war, raging and roaring over all the lands and seas, creeping nearer to our hearts and homes, here, amid all the tumult, we have tonight the peace of the spirit in each cottage home and in every generous heart. Therefore we may cast aside for this night at least the cares and dangers which beset us, and make for the children an evening of happiness in a world of storm. Here, then, for one night only, each home throughout the English-speaking world should be a brightly-lighted island of happiness and peace.

A.
to remind people about the evils surrounding them
B.
to promote happiness and peace during the Christmas season
C.
to encourage more support for the war
D.
to push for the United States and Britain to become one country
