• 22．Traditionally，robots have been hard，made of metal and other rigid material.But a team of scientists at Harvard University in the US has managed to build an entirely soft robot - one that draws inspiration from an octopus（章鱼）.
     Described in science journal Nature，the "Octobot" could pave the way for more effective autonomous robots that could be used in search，rescue and exploration. "The Octobot is a minimal system which may serve as a foundation for a new generation of completely soft，autonomous robots，" the study's authors wrote.
     Robots built for precise，repetitive movements in a controlled environment don't do so well on rough terrains （地形）or in unpredictable conditions.And they aren't especially safe around humans，because they're made out of hard and heavy parts that could be potentially dangerous to their users.
     So researchers have been working on building soft robots for decades.They've taken inspiration from nature，looking to animals from jellyfish to cockroaches，which are often made up of more flexible matter.
     But creating a completely soft robot remains a challenge.Even if engineers build a silicone（硅酮）body，it's still a grand challenge to construct flexible versions of essential parts，such as a source of power.
     "Although soft robotics is still in its early stage，it holds great promise for several applications，such as search-and-rescue operations and exploration，" Barbara Mazzolai and Virgilio Mattoli of the Italian Institute of Technology's Center for MicroBioRobotics，wrote in a comment. "Soft robots might also open up new approaches to improving wellness and the quality of life."
  
  （1）What's the special feature of "Octobot"？

  
  A．It's soft
  B．It's made of metal.
  C．It's very small.
  D．It looks like an octopus.
  （2）What's the disadvantage of traditional robots？

  
  A．They're hard to control.
  B．They're too heavy to move.
  C．They can't predict conditions.
  D．They can't behave well all the time.
  （3）One of the biggest challenges is to build Octobot's

  .
  A．silicone body
  B．complex components
  C．precise movements
  D．flexible power source
  （4）What's the possible application of "Octobot"？

  
  A．Medical research.
  B．Life rescue.
  C．Machine operation.
  D．House cleaning.

• 23．I work as a meteorologist （气象学家） in Tampa，Florida.It's my job to follow hurricanes （飓风） and provide information about them to scientists.
     I was working for the National Meteorological Office in Bracknell，near London，in the autumn of 1995，and I saw a documentary called Stormchasers with my family.（1）

  Two months later I came across an ad for a meteorologist to work in Florida.I was interviewed over the phone，moved to the US，and started to work here in Tampa in May 1996.
     （2）

  I have been all over the world hunting hurricanes.It's exciting to end up in different cities and different countries day after day.If you are a meteorologist，you have to love flying.I also love working with top scientists.（3）

  For me，it's like a classroom in the sky.
     People often ask me what an average day is like.In fact，there's no such thing as an average day in my job!（4）

  We often take off at a moment's notice to hunt storms.
     Next，I would like to join a space programme and be the first meteorologist in space.（5）

  There aren't any hurricanes!
     If you also want to be a meteorologist，study maths and science and get a degree in meteorology.I have taken the hurricane hunter path，but you could do research.
  
  A.I have learnt so much from them.
  B.What I like most about my job is the travel.
  C.It's a wonderful job and the pay is pretty good.
  D.It all depends on the weather，and you can't control that.
  E.However，I haven't come up with an experiment to do in space yet.
  F.Because of the job，I'm away from my family who all live in the UK.
  G.It was about hurricane hunters and I thought，"Wow，that's an interesting job! "
