On my own faith journey, I have felt this type of doubt before. The “hole”, as we referred to, is a symbol of my faith journey. It appeared to be an

21、obstacle I could not overcome, but in the end I completed it with efforts.

29、otional dilemma,” Dr Albert Barque-Duran, the lead author of the study, told City, University of London. “This could be due to the increased time pressure often present with smartphones and also the increased psychological distance which can occur when we use such devices compared to PCs.”As for why

30、 the researchers started this study, Dr Barque-Duran noted, “Due to the fact that our social lives, work and even shopping take place online, it is important to think about how the contexts where we typically face moral decisions and are asked to engage in moral behavior have changed, and the impact

35、ndable wings covered with overlapping (部分重叠) pieces resembling fish sizes could be used to build swifter, fuel-efficient aircraft, a new study finds.Nowadays, conventional aircrafts typically rely on ailerons (副翼) to help control the way the planes tip as they fly. However, when the Wright brothers

36、flew the first airplane, Flyer 1, over a century ago, they used no ailerons but wires and pulleys that twisted the wood-and- canvas wings, to control the plane.Scientists have long sought to develop aircrafts that can alter their wings during flight, just as birds can. However, most previous attempt

37、s have failed because they relied on heavy mechanical control structures within .the wings. These structures were also complex and unreliable, said Neil Gershenfeld, a physicist and director of the Center for Bits and Atoms at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).The new wing consists of a sy

38、stem of tiny, strong, lightweight modules. The shape of the wing can be changed uniformly along its length using two small motors, which apply a twisting pressure to each wingtip. These wings are covered in “skins” of overlapping strips of flexible material resembling fish sizes. These strips move a

39、cross each other as the wings alter, providing a smooth outer surface, the researchers explained.Wind-tunnel tests of these wings showed that they at least matched the aerodynamic properties of conventional wings, at about one-tenth the weight. Initial tests using remotely piloted aircrafts made wit

40、h these wings have shown great promise, said Benjamin Jenett, a graduate student at the Center for Bits and Atoms at MIT.The new modular structures the scientists developed could be manufactured quickly in mass quantities and then installed by teams of small robots. These modular structures also can

41、 be disassembled more easily, making repairs simpler.“Still, the first aircraft built using this strategy will not be a passenger jet,” Gershenfeld said. “Instead, the technology will likely first be tested on unmanned aircraft, leading to drones (无人机) that can fly for a long time, to help deliver i

42、nternet access or medicine to remote villages and do some rescue works.”32. Why did most previous aircrafts fail to fly like birds?A. The previous wings were complicated and weighed a lot. B.
