  PITTSBURGH-For most people, snakes seem unpleasant or even threatening.But Howie Choset sees in their delicate movements a way to save lives.

  The 37-year-old Carnegie Mellon University professor has spent years developing snake-like robots he hopes will eventually slide through fallen buildings in search of victims trapped after natural disasters or other emergencies.

  Dan Kara is president of Robotics Trends, a Northboro, Mass.-based company that publishes an online industry magazine and runs robotics trade shows.He said there are other snake-like robots being developed, mainly at universities, but didn’t know of one that could climb pipes.

  The Carnegie Mellon machines are designed to carry cameras and electronic sensors and can be controlled with a joystick(操纵杆).They move smoothly with the help of small electric motors, or servos, commonly used by hobbyists in model airplanes.

  Built from lightweight materials, the robots are about the size of a human arm or smaller.They can sense which way is up, but are only as good as their human operators, Choset added.

  Sam Stover, a search term manager with the Federal Emergency Management Agency based in Indiana, said snake-type robots would offer greater mobility than equipment currently available, such as cameras attached to extendable roles.

  “It just allows us to do something we’ve ot been able to do before, ” Stover said, “We needed them yesterday.”

  He said sniffer dogs are still the best search tool for rescue workers, but that they can only be used effectively when workers have access to damaged building.

  Stover, among the rescue workers who handled the aftermath(后果)of Hurricane Katrina, said snake robots would have helped rescuers search flooded houses in that disaster.

  Choset said the robots may not be ready for use for another five to ten years, depending on funding.

(1)

Which institution is responsible for the development of Choset’s robots?

[  ]

A.

Robotics Trends.

B.

Pittsburgh City Council.

C.

Carnegie Mellon University.

D.

Federal Emergency Management Agency.

(2)

Choset believes that his invention _______.

[  ]

A.

can be attached to an electronic arm

B.

can be used by hobbyists in model airplanes

C.

can find victims more quickly than a sniffer dog

D.

can sense its way no better than its operators

(3)

By saying “We needed them yesterday”(Paragraph 7), Stover means that snake-like robots _______.

[  ]

A.

could help handle the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina

B.

would have been put to use in past rescue work

C.

helped rescuers search flooded houses yesterday

D.

were in greater need yesterday than today

(4)

What is the text mainly about?

[  ]

A.

Snake-like robots used in industries.

B.

Snake-like robots made to aid in rescues.

C.

The development of snake-like robots.

D.

The working principles of snake-like robots.

  Women turn to online shopping

  Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping,according to a study published last week in the US.

  For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women,but during the 2004 holiday season 58 percent of those making online purchases were women.

  “It shows how mainstream the Internet is becoming”,said Lee Rainie,a director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group,which carried out the study.

  Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men.This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.

  Users were more likely to shop online to save time.Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic(显著的)increases in the online gift-buying population this time around.

  However,three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2004.They worried about credit card security,or just compared online prices with off-line prices,then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.

  “But even if shoppers don't buy online,websites are becoming promotion tools for stores,”said Dan Hess,vice president of Comscore Networks Inc.Hess said that actually most stores' websites can make shoppers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers.And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time.

  “It's all about making the shopping experience more efficient,more reliable and more comfortable,” Hess said.
