For example, one famous surgeon always spent 15 minutes reading something before he went to sleep each day. Whether he went to bed at 10 p.m. or 2:30 a.m. made no difference.<br><br>(2) "Speed Reading" courses teach students how to read more quickly. In such courses, teachers often ask students to find out how many words a minute he is reading. You can do this too: look at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and write down the page number you have reached.<br><br>(3) Obviously, you should not increase your reading speed if you do not understand what you are reading. If you find something you don&39;t understand in the book, or you cannot remember clearly the details of what is said, why not read the chapter again?<br><br>(4) Take four or five pages of an interesting book you happen to be reading now. Read these pages as fast as you can. Don&39;t worry about whether you understand or not. If you keep doing this "lightning speed" reading for a period of time, you will finally find that your normal speed has increased.<br><br>(5) Most paragraphs in an article have a topic sentence that expresses the central idea. The opening paragraph often suggests the general direction and content of the article, while paragraphs that follow expand or support the first. The closing paragraph often gives a summary of the most important points of the article.<<br>Paragraph 2 __________ 查看材料

A. The organization of an article
B. Check your reading speed
C. A way to increase your reading speed
D. Check your understanding
E. Read something every day
F. Read extensively

Anyone hoping to pedal to work there has to contend with steep streets like Canton Avenue, which famously climbs at a nearly 40-degree angle. As a result, some residents avoid biking altogether.<br><br>(2) But University of Pittsburgh graduate Micah Toll,23, and a few friends recently launched an invention that they hope will increase the city&39;s pedal power. An electric bike called to Pulse PEVO.<br><br>A super-strong battery powers the bicycle. Able to hit nearly 20 miles per hour without pedaling, it zips up the city&39;s most daunting(令人却步的)hills. Toll hopes it will persuade people in Pittsburgh and elsewhere to get out of their cars and onto bikes.<br><br>(3) If it sounds like Toll has a knack (窍门 ) for fixing problems, that&39;s because he does. In high school, he designed a new type of construction beam. It weighs no more than a feather pillow but can be used to build sturdy (坚固的 ) homes for refugees fleeing war or natural disaster.<br><br>For his work, Toll was invited to attend the Inter International Science and Engineering Fair(self)- twice, in 2006 and 2007. The annual competition for young researchers is program of Society for Science & the Public (that&39;s the parent organization of Science News for Kids). Toll says that when, it comes to science, he keeps it simple: "You see a problem and say, "How could I solve that?"<br><br>(4) He&39;s not the only to take that approach. Many young researchers get their start by trying to solve a problem or fulfill a need in their own communities. When students dedicate themselves to finding a solution that many benefit their community, "a passion is ignited (点燃) ," says Wendy Hawkins, executive director of the Inter Foundation, which sponsors Intel ISEF." Finding that passion and fostering it can be the key to many students future success," she says.<br>Paragraph 1 __________ 查看材料

A. Intel International Science and Engineering Fair
B. The enthusiasm for solving problems
C. The young researchers" passion
D. An invention increasing pedal power
E. Why people avoid biking in Pittsburgh
F. The cause of national disaster

These researchers tinker (修补) with machines in the lab and write computer software to control these devices. "They&39;re the best toys out there," says Howle Choset at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Choset is a roboticist, a person who designs, builds or programs robots.<br><br>When Choset was a kid, he was interested in anything that moved--cars, trains, animals. He put motors on Tinkertoy cars to make them move. Later, in high school, he built mobile robots similar to small cars.<br><br>Hoping to continue working on robots, he studied computer science in college. But when he got to graduate school at the Califomia Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Choset&39;s labmates were working on something even cooler than remotely controlled cars: robotic snakes. Some robots can move only forward, backward, left and right. But snakes can twist (扭曲 ) in many directions and travel over a lot of different types of terrain (地形) . "Snakes are far more interesting than the cars," Choset concluded.<br><br>After he started working at Carnegie Mellon, Choset and his colleagues there bagan developing their own snake robots. Choset&39;s team programmed robots to perform. the same movements as real snakes, such as sliding and inching forward. The robots also moved in ways that snakes usually don&39;t, such as rolling.<br><br>Choset&39;s snake robots could crawl (爬行) through the grass, swim in a pond and even climb a flagpole.<br><br>But Choset wondered if his snakes might be useful for medicine as well. For some heart surgeries, the doctor has to open a patient&39;s chest, cutting through the breastbone. Recovering from these surgeries can be very painful. What if the doctor could perform. the operation by instead making a small hole in the body and sending in a thin robotic snake?<br><br>Choset teamed up with Marco Zenati, a heart surgeon now at Harvard Medical School, to investigate the idea. Zenati practiced using the robot on a plastic model of the chest and they tested the robot in pigs.<br><br>A company called Medrobotics in Boston is now adapting the technology to surgeries on people.<br><br>Even after 15 years of working with his team&39;s creations, "I still don&39;t get bored of watching the motion of my robots," Choset says.<br>Choset began to build robots in high school. 查看材料

Carol Packer reports.<br><br>Machines that walk, speak and feel are no longer science fiction. Kismet is the name of an android (机器人) which scientists have built at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).<br><br>Kismet is different from the traditional robot because it can show human emotions. Its eyes, ears and lips move to show when it feels happy, sad or bored. Kismet is one of the first of a new generation of androids--robots that look like human beings--which can imitate human feelings.<br><br>Cog, another android invented by the MIT, imitates the action of a mother. However, scientists admit that so far Cog has the mental ability of a two-year-old.<br><br>The optimists (乐观主义者 ) say that by the year 2020 we will have created humanoids (机器人)with brains similar to those of all adult human being. These robots will be designed to look like people to make them more attractive and easier to sell to the public. What kind of jobs will they do? In the future, robots like Robonaut, a humanoid invented by NASA, will be doing dangerous jobs, like repairing space stations. They will also be doing more and more of the household work for us. In Japan,scientists are designing androids that will entertain us by dancing and playing the piano.<br><br>Some people worry about what the future holds: will robots become monsters (怪物) ? Will people themselves become increasingly like robots? Experts predict that more and more people will be wearing micro-computers, connected to the Internet, in the future. People will have micro-chips in various parts of their body, which will connect them to a wide variety of gadgets (小装置).<br><br>Perhaps we should not exaggerate (夸大) the importance of technology, but one wonders whether,in years to come, we will still be falling in love, and whether we will still feel pain. Who knows?<<br>Kismet is different from traditional robots because __________. 查看材料

A. it thinks for itself
B. it is not like science fiction
C. it can look after two-year-old
D. it seems to have human feelings
