Programme leader Professor Roddy Cowie said while it sounds like science fiction, computers which respond to human emotion will appear in the future.“At the moment, our use of computers is limited by the fact that we need a keyboard and a screen to access them，” he said.“It would make a big difference if we could interact with them by speaking normally—perhaps through a microphone and a transmitter (传感器)．” But emotion is part of normal speech, and experience has shown that most users are deeply uncomfortable with speech interfaces that ignore it—too uncomfortable to use them very much.“If we can make computers more intuitive (富于直觉的) and expressive, and also less challenging to use, there is great potential to let people make fuller use of information technology.”

　　The emotion­sensitive computer would have its own “personality” and establish a social relationship with the user.“It's a fair bet that in 30 years' time, emotion­sensitive interfaces will be as much part of life as window­and­mouse interfaces are now，” said Professor Cowie.The project team believes such computers will play a major role in teaching and learning.

　　11．Which of the following statements is TRUE about the project?

　　A．It aims to create an emotion­sensitive computer.

　　B．It can create a 10 million Euro profit.

　　C．It is led by a Southern Ireland team.
