the beds exposed at Meridiani preserve a rich record of past aqueous processes on Mars, including both
subsurface and surface water. (D) The rovers Spirit and Opportunity have spent more than a year and a
half on the surface of Mars, exploring their landing sites at Gusev crater and Meridiani Planum,

using standard clinical methods. (D) The vegetative state is one of the least understood and most
ethically troublesome conditions in modern medicine. (E) However, recent functional neuroimaging
studies have suggested that islands of preserved brain function may exist in a small percentage of
patients who have been diagnosed as vegetative.

microcomputers in the 1980s provoked new interest amongst psychologists and educators in the issue
of "computers for learning". (D) Against such utopian enthusiasms lay a heavy weight of accumulated
experience; many "new technologies" had been offered to education as panaceas in the past, and the
judgment of many was reflected in the quip that "the only successful piece of educational technology is
the school bus". (E) Interest in what computers might have to offer for learning goes back at least 30
years.
