They want to use robots to carry heavy things over difficult land.But providing enough power for those kinds of robots has been a problem. Now, that has changed. Engineers at MIT have designed a running robot that runs on batteries. Scientists say their robots will soon be able to run like cheetahs, the fastest land animals on Earth.One difficulty in designing these types of robots continues to be providing power. These machines are still quite heavy and they need a lot of power to run. But the cheetah-like robot designed by engineers at MIT is light enough m run on batteries. The robot weighs just 30 kilograms. The robot needs only about 700 watts of power to run. This robot can actually jump 40cm high and it can land very safely and then it can run. The robots limbs and other parts were made in a three-dimensional or 3D printer. A strong, light-weight material called Kevlar is used to make the robots part stronger.But the development of MITs robot is not without its own set of problems. The robots limbs must support heavy force, and sometimes they break.Scientists say the new technologies used on this robot may be used in the making of limbs for disabled persons and other machines. Some of those machines may help save humans from performing difficult and dangerous jobs.（1）What is the challenge in designing the four-leg robots? A . carrying heavy thingsB . Running fast.C . Being light enough.D . Providing enough power.（2）What can the new technologies on MITs robot be used for? A . For making a 3D printer.B . For making limbs for disabled persons.C . For helping people do housework.D . For helping people live longer.（3）From the passage, we know that MITs robot . A . can carry heavy thingsB . can jump 30cm highC . is made of KevlarD . is still very heavy（4）Whats the main idea of this passage? A . Scientists have been working on four-leg robots.B . A new robot has been designed by engineers at MIT.C . The robots can help us do difficult and dangerous jobs.D . The difficulty in designing the new robot.24. （10分）阅读理解。Children today would rather read, do housework or even do homework than play outside- and they get out half as much as their parents did when they were young.According to a UK study, those growing up during the 1970s and 1980s enjoying more than two hours of outdoor activities each weekday, and nine hours on weekendswhatever the weather is.But their children play outside for just over one hour each weekday, and fewer than five hours on Saturdays and Sundays.So, the UK started an activity to encourage children to give up 30 minutes of screen time a day to play outdoors.The Wild Network, born on September 25, 2013, is joined by more than 300 organizations, large or small.It tries to attract children away from television and computer screen and into woods and parks.It is the biggest ever activity to reconnect children with nature and outdoor activities, and it plans to help improve childrens health.Suggestions on how to get more time in nature including collecting fruits, camping, watching autumn colour on trees and so on.This is not the first time the message of less screen, more play has been brought up.Children in the 1980s were encouraged to do the same by BBC TV show Why Dont You, which encouraged children to “turn off your TV set, and go to do something less boring instead”.You can learn more about the activity by visiting /www.P.（1）We can learn from the second paragraph that _.
