Computers, smartphones, and other machines are the perfect servants. They always do what they are “told”. We usually “tell” them to do things by using a mouse or keyboard. But what if we could just talk to them normally and tell them what to do
This type of technology， known as voice control or voice recognition （识别），has been shown in films and TV shows since the 1960s. The TV show Star Trek showed some spaceships which could reply to human voice commands（命令）．The film 2001：A Space Odyssey showed a computer that human astronauts could talk to. It was mainly used to play chess and repair the astronauts spaceship.

On the other hand,real-world voice recognition is used for more everyday tasks. For example,Apple and Amazon made two pieces of voice recognition software（软件）.They can be asked to do many things, such as setting alarms and playing music and so on.
One of the nice things about voice recognition is that it can be used when we're on the go.When you're driving a car or walking down the street, it's not convenient or even dangerous to pick up your smartphone and type on the keyboard. Voice recognition allows you to focus on whatever you're doing at the moment while still doing other tasks.
A speech recognition software is also helpful to deaf people. It can be used to “listen” to spoken words and turn them into text that deaf people can read. Some speech recognition softwares can even hear words spoken in one language and then translate them into another language.
36.According to Paragraph 1, how do we usually control machines in daily life
A.By using body language. B.By talking to them.
C. By using a mouse or keyboard. D.By smelling them.
37.How does voice recognition help to keep you safe while driving a car

C. It can help you do anything that you want to do.
D. It can help deaf people hear what they say.

D
In 1924， Frederick Mitchell-Hedges led a team to Lubaantun， an ancient Mayan（玛雅人的）city in modern-day Belize, a country in Central America. There, his daughter, Anna, found one of the most mysterious objects in history： à crystal skull（水晶头骨）that looked like a perfect human head. After that, more crystal skulls appeáred in a short period across Europe and North America.

Some people beliéve the Mesoamerican（中美洲的）people made the skulls thousands of years ago. Some stories say they have special powers（能力），such as the ability to make sick people well. Moviemakers love these stories. In the movie Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the skulls had great powers. In the movie, a crystal skull is actually the head of an alien.
However, most scientists don't believe these stories. They think the skulls are more modern.Scientists have found marks on the skulls that they believe only more modern technology could make. Because of this, scientists are certain the skulls are not thousands of years old. Instead,they think the skulls are from the 19th century. Scientists also point to the British Museum's research-researchers have found many Mesoamerican objects, but they have never found a crystal skull. Scientists say this is also evidence to show they are not really Mesoamerican.
Until we know more about the skulls，the mystery-and the debate（争论）-will continue.

C.were the heads of aliens D. could help people get better
