What do you usually do when a flying insect lands on your arm? You may blow it away. But what if that insect is a ladybug (瓢虫) ？
It is possible that you would let it stay. What is it about ladybugs that we like?.
Farmers once thought ladybugs were a good lucky sign. A ladybug in the field meant the crops would be successful and that the weather would be good. The farmers may have thought too highly of such a small bug,but in fact ladybugs do help out with the crops. They eat harmful insects.
Actually,it is not the adult ladybug that eats other insects. It's the baby ladybug. When the baby ladybugs hatch (醉化) ，they are very hungry and will eat mites,aphids,mealy bugs,green flies,and other crop-destroyers. In the 1800s,ladybugs were brought all the way from Australia to California and set free among orange trees that were dying from being eaten by insects. They completely saved all the trees.
Ladybugs go about their daily business without worrying much about anything. Very few birds or insects will eat a ladybug because it gives of a dangerous fluid (液体) . Ladybugs also protect themselves by playing dead. They fall off leaves and never move until their attacker goes away.
So the next time you see a ladybug,think about what it may be doing. Maybe it is off to save an orange tree. Maybe its next move will be to roll off a leaf and play dead or stand up (o a bird about 100 times its size. Maybe it's letting you know that the weather will be good tomorrow. Who knows? Ladybugs are special that way.

Since the 1970s,scientists have been searching for ways to connect the brain (大脑) with computers.Brain computer interface (BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands (命令) to machines.
Recently,two scientists,JoSe Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne,Switzerland,show a small robotic wheelchair (轮椅) directed by a person's thoughts.
In the laboratory,Tavella controlled the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand. He could even talk as he watched and guided it with his thoughts.
“Our brain has billions of body cells. These send signals (信号) through the spinal cord (脊髓) to the body part to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries (脊柱受伤) can prevent these weak signals from reaching the body part， Tavella says.Our system allows disabled people to communicate with outer world and also to control machines."
The scientists designed a special cap for the user. This cap picks up the signals from the scalp (头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer finds meanings of the signals and controls cap the wheelchair with an engine.
Prof. Millan,the team leader,says the practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two kinds： communication,and controlling objects. One example is this wheelchair.
He says his team has two goals. One is testing with real patients to prove that this is a technology they can get advantages from. And the other is to make sure that they can use the technology for long.
() 1. BCI is a technology that can .
A. help to make computer systems more modern
