mellon university for years.choset believes that his snake robot and others like it help reduce medical costs by making complex surgeries (外科手术) faster and easier.choset says his new design is smaller and more flexible than earlier models.the size of surgical robots allows surgeons to operate with far less damage to the body，helping the patient heal faster.for example，instead of opening the entire chest up during heart surgery，a small hole is made，and a thin robotic snake crawls inside to the proper spot.dr ashutosh tewari of cornell university medical center has used robotic tools to perform thousands of operations.tewari said hes most excited about the potential for surgical robots to do things humans cant do.he said the variety of sensors available for surgical robots keeps expanding，even as they get smaller.he said they may one day be able to test chemicals or blood in the body，or even the electrical connections in nerves.choset has also built larger snake robots designed for search and rescue，or just exploration.they can climb poles or trees and then look around through a camera in the head，and slid through places humans cant reach.another expert at carnegie mellon stresses that theres still an enormous gap between humans and even the most hightech robots.manuela velosa noted that robots have been built that are good at one or two tasksbut not at the variety of tasks humans perform without even thinking.velosa has been building robots that ask humans for help when they dont know what to do，as well as teams of robots that play soccer against each other.sometimes，the robots surprise her by having once defeated the other team.“it was programmed by me，but it looked to me as if they learned，” she said.“i believe we are much closer to having robots be able to exist with humans peacefully.the beautiful thing is you see the robots learning.”1how does choset help save medical costs?aby changing the size of robots frequently.bby designing larger snake robots.cby making complex surgeries faster and easier.dby improving the models of earlier snake robots.2the main advantage of using the thin surgical robot is_.areducing the damage to the

time_is_measured_by_a_pendulum_(钟摆) and is not_psychological time,_which_leaps_with_little_regard_to_the_clock_or_calendar.as someone who understood the distinction observed, “when you sit with a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours.”psychologists have long noticed that larger units of time, such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we age.they also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass.for example, a days at the office flies compared with a days at the beach.since most of us spend fewer day at the beach and more at the office as we age, an increase in structured time could well be to blame for why time seems to speed up as we grow older.expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly.almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewhere weve never been before.surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no idea of when well arrive, we experience the trip for a long time.but the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time.the novelty of the journey has become routine.thus, taking a different route sometimes can often help slow the clock.when days become as similar as beads (小珠子) on a string, they mix together, and even months become a single day.to handle this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your dayto stop time.learning something new is one of the ways to slow the passing of time.one of the reasons the days of our youth seems so full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery.for many of us, learning ends when we leave school, but this doesnt have to be.【语篇解读】文章先讲述了人们感受到的时间快慢与物理上的时间是有所不同的，并举例说明，且提出了一些能“减缓”时间的办法。1the
