2、s or magnets or a combination of the two to control the movement of the capsule.Such devices have been equipped with cameras to allow observation and diagnosis,with sensors that“feel,”and even with mechanical needles that administer drugs.But in practice,Biomechatronics engineer Pietro Valdastri has
3、 found that developing capsule models from scratch(从头开始)is costly,time-consuming and requires advanced skills.“The problem was we had to do them from scratch every time,”said Valdastri in an interview.“And other research groups were redeveloping those same modules from scratch,which didnt make sense
4、.”Since most of the capsules have the same parts of components:a microprocessor,communication submodules,an energy source,sensors,and actuators(致动器),Valdastri and his team made the modular platform in which the pieceswork in concertand can be interchanged with ease.They also developed a flexible boa
5、rd on which the component parts are snapped in like Legos.The board can be folded to fit the body of the capsule,down to about 14 mm.Additionally,they compiled(编译)a library of components that designers could choose from,enabling hundreds of different combinations.They arranged it all in a free onlin
6、e system.Designers can take the available designs or adapt them to their specific needs.“Instead of redeveloping all the modules from scratch,people with limited technological experience can use our modules to build their own capsule robots in clinical use and focus on their innovation,”Valdastri sa
7、id.Now,the team has designed a capsule equipped with a surgical clip to stop internal bleeding.Researchers at Scotlands Royal Infirmary of Edinburg have also expressed interest in using the system to make a crawling capsule that takes images of the colon(结肠).One research group,led by professors at t
8、he Institute of Digestive Disease of the Chinese University of HongKong,is making a swimming capsule equipped with a camera that pushes itself through the stomach.One limitation of Valdastris system is that its only for designing models.Researchers can confirm their hypotheses(假设)and do first design
9、 using the platform,but will need to move to a custom approach to develop their capsules further and make them practical for clinical use.1.According to the passage,Valdastri and his team created the platform to _.A.adopt the latest technologies B.make their robots dream come true C.help build speci
10、alized capsule robots D.do preciser observation and diagnosis 2.What does the underlined phrase“work in concert”mean in Para.3?A.Perform live.B.Run independently.C.Act in a cooperative way.D.Carry on step by step.3.What can be learnt from the passage?A.Valdastris system cant provide a complete capsu
11、le creation.B.The modular platform is more useful than a custom approach.C.The capsules can move in humans body automatically.D.It costs more to module the capsules on the board.B In this day and age,there seems to be a move towards secondary school subjects.For that reason,some parents and some stu
12、dents feel that the compulsory study of English literature is misguided and disadvantageous to students,particularly if they are second language learners of English.However,there are still good reasons for the study of English literature.Students of English language sometimes fail to see the point o
13、f studying English literature,especially if they have no plans to study English or translation at university.But English literature can introduce students to a range of aspects,not only of the English language but also the culture of English-speaking countries.There are aspects of English culture th
14、at are summarised by English literature.Of course,this is quite obvious when studying the works of Shakespeare or of writers,poets and playwrights of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.It is,however,also true when studying other works of English literature.Students can learn about good stories
15、and references to different aspects of English culture.They can also learn the context and meanings of famous quotes and phrases.Studying literature does not confine the students to the traditions ofEnglandbut includes the possibility of introducing them to traditions which inform English literature
16、,such as the study of Ancient Greek drama,and to literature in other contexts,such as American literature.An enjoyment and appreciation of literature will give students the ability to develop this into an interest in books and reading as they move away from their studies and into the adult lives.The
17、y will have the confidence to approach and cope with new forms of books and writing,since they were exposed to a range of literature during their school days.When studying literature,students can learn not only language aspects such as vocabulary items but also the language aspects which can be used
18、 for specific purposes.For example,if the students are familiar with the concepts of beat and rhythm of English poems,they can improve their own writing as they are able to appreciate and apply these ideas.Finally,the study of literature can provide students with a fresh and creative angle,from whic
19、h the students can approach their studies in particular and their lives in general.So the next time you are reading a newspaper article complaining of the lack of creativity and initiative in the local workforce,remember that in a small way the study of English literature can help to add a refreshin
20、g and further dimension to a persons life.4.The author may agree that the study of English literature_.A.has a long-lasting influence on students B.is misguided and has more disadvantages C.is not necessary for second language learners D.only allows the students to learn the traditions ofEngland 5.W

22、nglish literature?A.Critical.B.Cautious.C.Supportive.D.Anxious.7.Whats the best title of the passage?A.Parents and Students Demands B.Why We Learn English Literature C.English Culture and English Literature D.Suitable Courses for Secondary Schools C Now most of the workers work from 9 am to 5 pm.How
23、ever,according to the global Internet survey done by the UK Sleep Council,thesiesta（午睡）was the right idea all along.The UK Sleep Council called on the countrysbosses to end nine-to-five working in favor of more flexible hours.They believe what would really increase the workers productivity is a nice
24、 afternoon nap,rather than those bonuses.Forty-one percent of the 12,000 people who responded to the councils survey said they were most productive in the morning,while 38 percent said theyhit their stridein the evening.This means most of them cannot fully pay attention to what they do in the middle
25、 of the day,said sleep expert Dr.Chris Idzikowskii.We must conclude from this survey that the traditional nine-to-five working day does not suit most workers.He suggested that allowing workers to follow their natural sleeping habits would actually benefit employers by allowing them to expand their w
26、orking hours and be more productive.Fortunately,being a college lecturer,I dont have to go to work everyday.I only work three days a week,but during the three days I work really long hours and have no time for a little siesta.Im usually so tired and sleepy in the afternoon,which really affects thevi
27、tality（活力）of my classes.I think Dr.Chris Idzikowskiis idea is worthwhile.When people have flexible working hours they could reach their highest productivity.On top of that,flexible working hours mean thatpeople dont have to work all at the same time.That way we could avoid traffic jams.Therefore,its

33、y to find the girl had fallen into the water.Pulled from the pool and placed on the ground,the child wasnt breathing.The family called the ambulance,but no one knew how to do first aid.No one,that is,except for Tristin.A scene in“Black Hawk Down”describes a doctor giving first aid.Tristin remembered
34、 it.Then the 9-year-old gave first aid to his sister at once and saved her life.His parents dont stop him seeing the movies he likes any more.Tristin taught himself how to do first aid but he had never thought he could use it to save his little sisters life.Any skill can be used in time,so you shoul
