10、I am teaching freshmen, who are always fun and ready to take part in classroom activities.

17、by Murphy in EthiopiaCWith climate change and overfishing threatening our oceans, it is becoming increasingly important for researchers to closely observe and check sea animals and plants. However, its almost impossible to make it since human presence scares the animals. Now, thanks to the robot, ak

18、a SoFi, researchers may be able to solve the problem.Built by MITs laboratory, the snow-white remote-controlled robot simulates fish, complete with a flexible(灵活的) tail that moves from side to side and two “fins(鳍)”.When the robot is under the sea, a motor is pumping water into a pair of balloon-lik

19、e rooms located in the robots tail. These rooms operate similarly to the key parts in engines. As one room expand, the tail bends(弯曲) to one side; when the motor pushes water to the other channel, the tail bends in the other direction. Thus the robot gains the ability to move to where it wants to go

20、.SoFi solves many of the problems that have affected the usefulness of previous(以前的) robotssome types of autonomous underwater vehicles(AUVs).AUVs traditionally often have had to be tied to a boat because radio frequency communications do not work well underwater. So researchers use sound waves. The

21、 new technology can travel greater distances, allowing drivers, by using a controller, to pilot SoFi from up to 50 feet away. SoFi can move around the ocean, unaffected by ropes. Also limiting traditional AUVs usefulness is the danger of hitting something, like hard stones. With the outside made of

22、rubber and plastic that can keep its built-in electronics dry, SoFi can effectively avoid hitting. So a soft robot is more likely to survive a potential crisis.During test dives in Rainbow Reef, SoFi swam alongside the unsuspecting ocean life at depths of 50 feet for up to 40 minutes at a time, obta

23、ining high-quality photos and videos. More importantly, it was able to do so without causing any disturbance. Researchers say sometimes the fish would swim alongside the strange-looking robot in curiosity(好奇), while at other times they appeared to completely ignore its existence. “Its not perfect, b

The structure of SoFis tailD. The theory of SoFi movement.31. The materials for SoFis outside help SoFi to _.A. stay safe underwate

26、r B. take high-quality photosC. stay deeper under the sea D. better attract sea creaturesDFrom now on, never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power

27、 to make those seeds grow. The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created: the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance.

28、oping your self-esteem(自尊). Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are leavest

29、ossed(摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather. You can control your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realiz

30、e that they are responsible. Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe.
