A Robot Fish has been developed by National University of Singapore’s researchers from the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering.This robot fish has movements which have been inspired by the movements of the carp(鲤鱼).

There are various purposes that it can be used for.It can help in underwater archaeology ( 考古学 ).For example, it can enter a sunken city where human divers cannot enter.Just like a fish , it can also look at all the comers of particular wreckage.This robot can also be used for general purposes such as detection of leakages in a pipeline or for laying down communication cables across oceans.It also has possible military uses.

In order to copy carp movements, Mr.Fan studied the movements of the fish for around 3 months.He studied all the different movements of carp using different cameras and then converted these movements mathematically to transfer this data to the robot using many actuators(驱动器).

Professor Xu commented on the robot that the current models that copy fish movements are capable only of 2D movements which limits their capability as they are not able to dive into water.He said that his model is the first model with 3D movements which allows it to dive as well as float with the help of its fins, just as a normal fish would do.Hence, this fish model robot has much greater movement capability.It would be much harder for enemies to detect as compared to traditional ones when used for military purposes.

The researches want to make their robot fish even smaller, more realistic while adding more sensors such as GPS and video camera to it.This will improve its autonomous 3D movement.They are also planning to test the fish by giving it more difficult tasks such as detecting various objects.

1.The author gave an example in paragraph 2 _____.

A.to introduce the Robot Fish can help in underwater archaeology

B.to show the Robot Fish can be used for general purposes

C.to show the Robot Fish can lay down communication cables across oceans

D.to tell us the Robot Fish has possible military uses

2.Which is NOT true about the 3D Robot Fish?

A.It is capable of diving into water.

B.It cannot dive into water.

C.It can float using its fins.

D.It is difficult to detect.

3.What' s the main idea of the last paragraph?

A.The researchers will give the robot more difficult tasks.

B.The researches want to make their robot smaller.

C.The researchers are going to test the robot.

D.The researches plan to improve the robot.

4.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A.First Robot Fish with Autonomous 3D Movement used widely

B.First Robot Fish with Autonomous 3D Movement treading the ocean

C.First Robot Fish with Autonomous 3D Movement created in Singapore

D.First Robot Fish with Autonomous 3D Movement's general purposes

The world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people. We meet them every day. A few days ago, my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic (机械师) had it fixed in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. I was amazed. The sad truth is: Great talent is not enough.

I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100, 000 a year. A business consultant(顾问)who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, “They are one skill away from great wealth.”

There is an old saying that goes, “Job means just over broke (破产)”. And unfortunately, I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers “live within their means”. They work and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn.

When I ask the classes I teach, “How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonalds ?” almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonalds makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonalds is excellent at business systems. The reason so many talented people are poor is that they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.
