On a cool summer night, Jiang Yao, then a student at Nanjing Agricultural University (南京农业大学), was walking at Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo, home to more than 3,000 animals.

One of the rescuedanimals under Jiang’s care is the African spurred tortoise (非洲盾臂龟). Caring for them can be very difficult because of their large size, and also because they need to live in a warm place specially made for them.

Ithappenedin a New York classroom. Sixteen-year-old Nancy came face to face with a cow. But it was all in her head.
She was trying out a virtual reality (VR，虚拟现实）headset（头戴式眼罩）. It took Berkeley Carroll School junior students to a farm. The farm was 400 kilometers away.
Students across the US are taking VR "trips", They are swimming in the deep sea. They are watching medical operations. They are even " walking" through the human body. Teachers say this helps students understand their learning material and improve their grades, "It attracts the students right away," Colin Jones, a science teacher from Plainview Old Bethpage Central School District, told AP News. He uses a VR system called zSpace to cut up cells, "It's something that can be done in 40 minutes," he said. "But it could take even a week when you're doing a lab（实验）.’’
"It's different from watching videos because you can have more than one perspective （视角）You can actually move," Taylor said during her "trip" on the farm.
According to neuroscientist（神经学家), Richard Lamb, VR can give people experiences that are similar to the real world. Our bodies even react （反应）the same to VR as they do to real-life situations. "Heart rate, brain activity, breathing, everything," he said.
But there are not many classrooms that can use this technology. VR systems are very expensive. Experts hope that more students can use it in the future, especially for doing science experiments( 实验）that could be too dangerous to do in real life.
27. In a New York classroom, whatdid Nancy do
A. She watched a film about virtual reality.
B. She listened to music with her classmates.
C. She watched a video about a cow on the farm.
D. She had a virtual reality lesson with her classmates.
28. Why is A VR system different from watching videos
A. Because you can move and watch from more perspectives.
B. Because you can see everything anywhere.
C. Because you can move freely when doing an experiment.
D. Because you can do anything as you like.
29. What can we know from the last two paragraphs
A. VR's experiences are the same as the real world.
B. VR technology may change students' ways of learning.
C. VR technology is not good at all because it's too expensive.
D. VR technology is only used for doing dangerous science experiments.
30. Where can we probably read this passage
A. In a science book. B. In a storybook. C. In a diary. D. In a math book.
