Twenty years later, in 1978, with this lifelong dislike of the way the machine worked, I decided to make a bagless one.Easier said than done, of course. I didnt rea

19、lize that I would spend the next five years perfecting my design, a process that resulted in 5,127 different prototypes (样机). By the time I made my 15th prototype, my third child was born. By 2,627, my wife and I were really counting our pennies. By 3,727, my wife was giving art lessons for some ext

20、ra cash, and we were getting further and further into debt. These were tough times, but each failure brought me closer to solving the problem.In the early 1980s, I started trying to get licensing agreements for my technology. The reality was very different, however. The major vacuum makers had built

21、 a business model based on the profits from bags and filters (滤网). No one would license my idea, not because it was a bad one, but because it was bad for business. But soon after, the companies that I had talked with started making machines like mine. I had to fight legal battles on both sides of th

22、e Atlantic to protect the patents on my vacuum cleaner. I was still in financial difficulties until 1993, when my bank manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend me $l million. Then I was able to go into production. Within two years, the Dyson vacuum cleaner became a best-seller in Britain.Tod

26、peak louder than words.D. A good beginning makes a good ending. CPigeons (鸽子) may be considered mice of the sky, but some scientists have found greater value in these urban birds: the blueprint for a new generation of flying machines.Birds can transform the shape of their wings by fanning out their

27、feathers or moving them closer together. Those adjustments allow birds to cut through the sky more flexibly than rigid drones (无人机). Now, using new insights (深刻见解) into exactly how pigeons joints control the spread of their wing feathers, researchers have built a robotic pigeon. This research paves

28、the way for creating more light aircraft, says Dario Floreano, a roboticist in Switzerland not involved in the work.“Whats really cool about this robot is that you can make adjustments in a robotic wing that you could never do when studying flight in a bird”, says David Lentink, an engineer and biol

29、ogist at Stanford University. A controllable robotic pigeon solves that problem. In flight tests, Lentins team observed that bending only the fingers of one wing eased the robot into a banked turn (倾斜转弯) offering the first evidence that birds may sometimes use just their fingers to direct in flight.

30、 In a second study, Lentinks group used their robotic wing design to confirm another insight into bird flight: how gaps are prevented from forming between feathers on extended wings.This is the best set of robotic wings yet for testing how birds adjust their flight feathers to move through the air,

31、says Tyson Hedrick, a biomechanist. “But theres plenty of room for improvement. For instance, a future flying robot could include a shoulder joint to investigate how waving a birds wings up and down influences flight”, he says. 28. What is the newly-found worth of pigeons?A. They help study other sp

32、ecies. B. They protect other urban birds. C. They provide proof of mices harm. D. They inspire a new aircraft.29. What is Dario Floreanos attitude to the research? A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Neutral. D. Critical.30. What do the underlined words “that problem” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Pigeons in

33、 flight can hardly be observed.B. People cant make adjustments in birds wings.C. It is difficult for pigeons to make a banked turn. D. Pigeons fail to control the spread of their wing feathers.31. Where does the text probably come from? A. A travel journal. B. A travel brochure.C. A science fiction.

34、 D. A science magazine.DIs there a link between social media and depression? Do Facebook and Instagram have a negative impact on your mental health? Its complicated.Sometimes, looking through Instagram just makes you feel bad. You try not to envy your friends, but they always seem to be traveling so

35、mewhere cool, eating something fancy, or looking cute in perfect just-rolled-out-of-bed hair. On the other hand, there are times when you laugh at funny memes (表情包），catch up with old friends, and feel happy to belong to fun social media communities. Clearly, social media isnt all bad.People are incr

36、easingly suspecting that therere potential problems of social media. Things like cyberbullying (网上欺凌) , screen addiction, and being exposed to endless filtered images (美颜）that make it impossible not to make comparisons between yourself and others often make the news. In July, a big study came out in

37、 the journal JAMA titled “Association of Screen Time and Depression in Adolescence.” This big headline seems to confirm what a lot of people have been saying screen time is horrible for young people.The study followed over 3,800 adolescents over four years as part of a drug and alcohol prevention pr

38、ogram. Part of what the investigators measured was the teens amount of screen time, including time spent on social media, as well as their levels of depression symptoms. One of their main findings was that higher amounts of social media use were associated with higher levels of depression. That was

39、true both when the researches compared between people and compared each person against their own mental health over time.Case closed? Not so fast. Before we end the debate once and for all, lets take a closer look at this and other studies. Lets ask ourselves: what exactly is the relationship betwee
