an accidental finding inspired them: one day a scientist happened to see an animal attack a lizard and bite off its tail. the lizard broke away from the animals teeth and threw itself on a wall to escape, only to fall off heavily on the ground. the scientist wondered: is it the tail that plays an important role in its travelling on the wall? he caught some lizards for an experiment. the result proved his assumption: a tailless lizard has no trouble walking on an ordinary wall but cant on a smooth one. a further study showed the lizards tail can prevent it falling over backward and, whats more, that the tail acts as an additional leg while one of the lizards legs leaves the wall, which is always the case while it is walking on the wall. thus, tailbot, a super tailed robot, is born. 49. what part(s) would be a must if scientists just wanted a robot which can hang on the wall? a. suckers.b. suckers and bristles.c. suckers, bristles and a tail.d. hands, feet, bristles and a tail.50. the bristles function as something _. a. to protect the lizards toes from injury b. to produce friction and static adsorption c. to prevent a lizard falling over backward d. to help a lizard move about without falling51. the biggest importance of a lizards tail lies in _. a. helping support the bodyb. serving as another leg c. sticking to the walld. stopping slipping 52. what does the underlined part in the fifth paragraph refer to?
