Virtual (虚拟的) reality (VR) was just an idea in the past but nw it is becming mre and mre a reality. Researchers have predictins that shw virtual reality will make a great difference t ur sciety. In the same way that the smartphne changed ur lives, virtual reality may be set t d the same.
Virtual reality changes hw we view technlgy. Until nw technlgy has always been smething that we have viewed but never been truly immersed in (沉浸其中). Virtual reality has the pwer t change that. There will cme a time when we sit n a VR chair r step inside a VR rm, put n a VR device (设备), and enter a ttally different wrld. The technlgy is largely available already, s with further advances taking place we culd be abut t enter entirely different wrlds.
Tday the bvius applicatin f virtual reality is gaming but there are many mre applicatins as well. In business, virtual reality culd be used t imprve cmmunicatins. Many cmpanies have t pay a lt fr sending their team t different places. As wrldwide business cntinues, it is increasingly imprtant fr teams in different areas f the wrld t wrk tgether. Althugh the vide meeting slutins have been a success, they are just nt as gd as the real thing. Virtual reality can ffer an experience as gd as the real thing withut any f the expense f travel.
While the virtual reality technlgy is still being develped we are nt far away frm a truly immersive experience. Within the next ten years, a slutin will be in place, which will be s believable that peple will be unable t tell the difference between it and reality. In time the cst will reduce as well, making it pssible t have a VR experience in every hme and business.

A. It reduces the need fr the cmmunicatin.
B. It can prvide an immersive experience.
C. It is applied t gaming and business.
D. It is mre cnvenient t perate.
30. What des the underlined wrd “expense” mean in the third paragraph?
A. Tiredness.B. Schedule.C. Stress.D. Cst.
31. What can we expect f the virtual reality technlgy?
