　　Do you know that there is an area called the hippocampus(<脑内的>海马状突起) in our brains? It controls our moods, memories and levels of awareness. And scientists have just developed the first artificial chip(人造芯片) that acts the same way as this area.
　　Now, the next step is to decide whether or not the chip could one day be used to help people with brain damage. Researchers said that if all goes well, the chip may help people who have suffered brain damage due to stroke(中风), epilepsy(癫痫),etc.
　　It took US 10 years to develop the chip. First they built a mathematical model of how the hippocampus performs under all conditions. The next step is joining the chip into the brain in laboratory studies. The chip will first be tested on tissue(动物组织) from rat's brains. If it is successful, scientists plan to begin trails on live rats within six months and then on monkeys.
　　The researchers will stop part of the monkey's hippocampus from working and replace it with the programmed chip. If the invention works and is proved safe for humans, it would sit on the top of the skull(头骨), rather than inside the brain. This could reduce the damage to brain tissue. The chip will help someone with a damaged hippocampus regain the ability to store new memories.
　　56. The chip is developed to ________ according to the passage.
　　A. help people with diseases to reduce pain
　　B. help to control a damaged brain that acts properly and perfectly
　　C. help doctors to cure diseases such as stoke, epilepsy, etc.
　　D. help people with a damaged brain to regain the ability to store new memories
　　57. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
　　A. The chip will first be tested on tissue from rat's brains.
　　B. First researchers built a model data of how the leg works.
　　C. The next step is to decide whether the chip could be used on brain-damaged people.
　　D. The hippocampus chip is used to help people with the brain damage.
　　58. The underlined word "trials" in paragraph 3 means ________ in English.
　　A. demanding B. developing C. inspecting D. tests
　　59. Which of the following is probably the best title for this passage?
　　A. Man-made brain chip
　　B. Chip works and lives properly
　　C. Brain chip controls action
　　D. Invention is safe for humans
