One simple push produces nano﹣sized （纳米） steam particles （颗粒） to go deep into skin and moisturize your face． A relaxing stream of hot mist quickly removes makeup，dirt and other impurities from skin． You can steam before skincare routine to help absorb cream better； steam in the morning to soften your skin for easier makeup application and longer lasting results． The multifunctional 3﹣in﹣l device can also be set to humidify （使潮湿） a room and has an extra chamber （室） to warm towels for refreshment．
A larger 200ml water tank allows for 30 minutes of working time with a completely silent operation．
Benefits of Nano Steaming include up to 10 times improved blood circulation， improved cell vitality （活力） and oxygen absorption through skin for a healthier younger looking face and significantly improved absorption of your beauty creams for increased effectiveness． Why Is NanoSteamer Better？

（6分）When you pull the headset over your eyes and the game begins， you are transported to a tiny room with white walls．Your task is to break out of the room， but you cannot use your hands， joystick or game pad．You must use your thoughts．
You turn toward a ball on the floor， and your brain sends a command to pick it up．With another thought，you send the ball crashing into a mirror， breaking the glass and revealing a few numbers scribbled on a wall．You mentally type those numbers into a large keypad by the door．And you are out．
Designed by Neurable，a small startup founded by Ramses Alcaide，an electrical engineer and neuroscientist （神经科学家），the game offers a way of selecting items in a virtual world with

your thoughts．
Having a headset with virtual reality goggles （眼镜） and sensors （传感器） that can read your brain waves，it will be a few years before this device comes into the market． And it is limited in what it can do．But it works．I recently played the game，titled Awakening，when Alcaide and two Neurable employees passed through San Francisco， so did a few hundred others this month at the Siggraph computer graphics conference in Los Angeles．
Driven by recent investments from the US government， many startups and bigger companies are working on ways to mentally control machines， looking for smoother ways to use virtual reality technology．
\，\， a professor at the MIT Media Lab who advises one of those startups．
At Neurable， Alcaide and his team are pushing the limits of EEG （脑电图） headsets． Although sensors can read electrical brain activity from outside the skull， it is very difficult to separate the signal from the noise． Using computer algorithms （算法） based on Alcaide's research， Neurable works to read activity with a speed and accuracy that's not usually possible．
The algorithms learn from your behavior．Before playing the game，you train them to recognize when you are focusing your attention on an object．A pulse of light bounces around the virtual room，and each time it hits a small colored ball in front of you，you think about the ball．At that moment，when you focus on the light and it stimulates your brain，the system reads the specific signals of your brain activity．
59． How can you break out of the room in the game？ A． Open the door with the joystick． B． Type the numbers you have got into the keypad in mind． C． Send a ball crashing into the door． D． Use your hands to open the door．
60． What can be inferred from Paragraph 4 and Paragraph 5？ A． Many people in San Francisco have played this game except the author． B． The US government didn't invest money in the virtual reality technology． C． The device having a headset with virtual reality goggle has come into market．

Chance at new start
Mike Miles hadn't had a stable job in years． He bounced around from agency to agency， never sure when his last day would be． Sometimes， he lost a job with less than a day's notice． This was not due to a poor work ethic （职业道德）﹣from arriving early to staying late， Miles says he did everything he could to leave good impressions on employers in Lancaster， Pennsylvania， in the US． But because Miles had a criminal record， he was always cut loose when it came time to let staff go．
\． You just never knew when you'd be gone，\．
After his release from prison in 2007， Miles struggled to find stability （稳定）﹣both mentally and financially． During this time， he lived in his mother's house and she helped him raise his daughter． When his mom passed away two years later， Miles says he became more determined than ever to create a healthy environment for his family．
\， and she's all I have，\． \daughter， while building a whole new life for myself．\
It wasn't until October 2015， nearly a decade after he got out of prison， that a cousin told Miles about a food company that hires people who have difficulty finding jobs．
Hoping this would clear up what felt like a thick cloud of uncertainty over his future， Miles submitted an application． He got an interview and soon after that， began his new job． His work involves everything from food production to maintenance （保存）， not to mention it pays a livable wage of $15 an hour． He says it's the best job he's ever had．
Miles' story is rare in Lancaster， where the poverty rate is around 30 percent﹣about double the national average． This figure annoyed Charlie Crystle， the co﹣founder and CEO of the company that gave Miles his job．
