The aim is to enable computers to think and behave more like humans.The Europewide project is being led by the universitys School of Psychology and involves 160 researchers from 27 institutions.The universitys researchers developed the scheme and signed the contract with the European Commission.The academics said the work will build upon attempts to create “multimodal interfaces (多模式界面)” which allow machines to sense and respond to the moods of the user. Programme leader Professor Roddy Cowie said while it sounds like science fiction, computers which respond to human emotion will appear in the future.“At the moment, our use of computers is limited by the fact that we need a keyboard and a screen to access them， ” he said.“It would make a big difference if we could interact with them by speaking normally perhaps through a microphone and a transmitter (传感器) ” But emotion is part of normal speech, and experience has shown that most users are deeply uncomfortable with speech interfaces that ignore ittoo uncomfortable to use them very much.“If we can make computers more intuitive (富于直觉的) and expressive, and also less challenging to use, there is great potential to let people make fuller use of information technology.” The emotionsensitive computer would have its own “personality” and establish a social relationship with the user.“Its a fair bet that in 30 years time, emotionsensitive interfaces will be as much part of life as windowandmouse interfaces are now， ” said Professor Cowie.The project team believes such computers will play a major role in teaching and learning. 16Which of the following statements is TRUE about the project? AIt aims to create an emotionsensitive computer. BIt can create a 10 million Euro profit. CIt is led by a Southern Ireland team. DIt has been completed within four years.17How will computers sense users moods? AThrough a screen. BThrough a keyboard. CThrough the voice of users.
