Early in the 16th century men were trying to reach Asia by traveling west from Europe.In order to find Asia they had to find a way past South America.The man who eventually found the way from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific was Ferdinand Magellan.
Magellan sailed from Seville in September 1519 with five ships and about 266 men.Thirteen months later, after spending a severe winter on the coast of Patagonia, he discovered the channel which is now called Magellan's Strait.In November 1520, after many months of dangers from rocks and storms, during which two ships were lost, the three remaining ships entered the ocean on the other side of South America.
They then continued, hoping to reach Asia.But they did not see any land until they reached the islands off the coast of Asia.Before they arrived at these islands, later known as the Philippines, his men were dying of starvation.While they were staying in the Philippines, Magellan was killed in battle.The remaining officers then had to get back to Spain.They decided to sail round Africa.After many difficulties, one ship with eighteen men sailed into Seville three years after leaving.They were all that remained of Magellan's expedition.However, their achievement was great.They were the first men to sail round the world.

Angel Garcia Crespo is a computer engineer at Carlos Ⅲ University of Madrid in Spain. His group has invented a new way for deafblind people to “watch” TV. The idea for the technology grew out of previous work by his group. The team had already worked on making audiovisual (视听的) materials accessible to people with either vision or hearing disabilities. But the group wanted to help people with both challenges. So they asked some deafblind people what would help.
In addition to relying on their sense of touch to communicate, deafblind people can also get and send information with a Braille line. The braille system uses patterns of raised dots to stand for letters and numbers. A Braille line is an electronic machine with a changeable Braille display. Dots rise up or drop down based on the information sent to the machine.
Now the new system changes TV signals to data a Braille line can use. “The key to the system is the possibility of using subtitles(字幕) to collect TV information，” Garcia Crespo explains. “Subtitles travel with the image (影像) and the audio in electromagnetic waves we don't see. But an electronic system can keep those waves.”
First, a computer program, or app, pulls out the subtitles and visual descriptions from the broadcast signal. The system then combines the information and changes both into data for Braille.
Now another app gets to work, which sends the data out to people's Braille lines on demand. “This is done in real time, in less than a second，” Garcia Crespo says. This lets a deafblind person “watch” TV as it's broadcast. The system will work with various Braille lines, as long as there's a bluetooth connection available. Now, the system is only used in Europe, and it should soon be available in the US.
4．What inspired Garcia Crespo's group to work on the new technology?
A．Deafblind people's poor life.
B．Their pity on the disabled people.
C．The challenges they face in work.
D．Their group's previous research.
5．Why can the electronic system collect TV information?
A．It can combine all kinds of broadcast signals.
B．It can keep the waves with subtitles traveling.
C．It can work together with a variety of Braille lines.
D．It can pull out the subtitles and visual descriptions.
6．What does the author think of the future of the new technology?
A．Challenging. B．Bright.
C．Rewarding. D．Hopeless.
7．What should be a suitable title for the passage?
A．New Technology Is Improving Deafblind People's Life
B．A New Braille Line Is Applied to Disabled People's Life
C．A Spanish Group Makes TV Accessible to Blind People
D．New Technology Helps Deafblind People “Watch” TV
