(4) The most obvious bionics are those that replace limbs=an arm or leg of a person or animal). Olympian “Blade Runner” Oscar Pistorius made a splash= make a splash (idiom to become suddenly very successful or very well known) with his Cheetah carbon fiber prostheses.5 Yet those are a relatively simple technology—a curved piece of slightly springy=(returning quickly to the usual shape, after being pulled, pushed, crushed, etc.), super-strong material. In the digital age, we’re seeing more sophisticated limbs.
(5) Consider the thought-controlled bionic leg that Zac Vawter used to climb all 103 floors of Chicago’s Willis Tower. Or the nerve-controlled bionic hand that Iraq war veteran Glen Lehman had attached after the loss of his original hand.
(6) Or the even more sophisticated I-limb Ultra, an artificial hand with five independently articulating artificial fingers (Check below). Those limbs don’t just react mechanically to pressure. They actually respond to the thoughts and intentions of their owners , flexing, extending, gripping, and releasing on mental command.
What does the text imply about the future of limb replacement technology?
It will likely become less accessible.
It will remain largely unchanged.
It will become more sophisticated and effective.
It will be replaced by alternative therapies.
The age when prostheses were largely inert pieces of wood, metal, and plastic is passing. Advances in microprocessors , in techniques to interface digital technology with the human nervous system, and in battery technology to allow prostheses to pack more power with less weight are turning replacement limbs into active parts of the human body.
(8) In some cases, they’re not even part of the body at all. Consider the case of Cathy Hutchinson. In 1997, Cathy had a stroke, leaving her without control of her arms. Hutchinson volunteered for an experimental procedure that could one day help millions of people with partial or complete paralysis. She let researchers implant a small device in the part of her brain responsible for motor control. With that device, she is able to control an external robotic arm by thinking about it.
What does the comparison of traditional prosthetic limbs to digital age limbs suggest about advancements in prosthetic technology?
Traditional prosthetics are more reliable.
Digital age limbs are more advanced and capable.
Traditional prosthetics are becoming obsolete.
Digital age limbs are less durable.
(1) We’re in the midst of a bionic revolution, yet most of us don’t know it.
(2) Around 220,000 people worldwide already walk around with cochlear implants—devices worn around the ear that turn sound waves into electrical impulses shunted directly into the auditory nerve.
(3) Tens of thousands of people have been implanted with deep brain stimulators, devices that send an electrode tunneling several inches in the brain. Deep brain. stimulators are used to control Parkinson’s disease, though lately they’ve also been tested—with encouraging results—in use against severe depression and obsessive compulsive disorder.

Olympian “Blade Runner” Oscar Pistorius made a splash= make a splash (idiom to become suddenly very successful or very well known) with his Cheetah carbon fiber prostheses.5 (prostheses plural of Prosthesis)
Yet those are a relatively simple technology—a curved piece of slightly springy=(returning quickly to the usual shape, after being pulled, pushed, crushed, etc.), super-strong material. In the digital age, we’re seeing more sophisticated limbs.
What is the likely reason deep brain stimulators are being tested for conditions like severe depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder?
They have shown promising results in other areas.
They are easy to implant.
They are cheaper than other treatments.
They have already cured Parkinson's disease completely.

What might the phrase "made a splash" suggest about Oscar Pistorius’s impact on public perception of bionics?
He had a negative impact.
He caused controversy and debate.
He significantly raised awareness.
He had little to no impact.
Why is the material of the Cheetah carbon fiber prostheses described as "super-strong"?
To emphasize their durability and functionality.
To highlight their cost.
To show that they are difficult to manufacture.
To suggest they are uncomfortable to wear.
