After running hundreds of flies through his machine，Dickinson discovered something interesting.Within 300 milliseconds of a possible hit，the flies were well prepared.If the hit was right in front of its head，the fly would shift (挪动) its middle pair of legs forwardmoving it backward and away from danger.When the hit came from the back，the fly would shift its middle legs backward to jump forward.Flies may eat dog droppings，but these insects are also beautiful dancers. Dickinsons interest in housefly hitting goes beyond keeping his office flyfree.His research is helping others build smart microrobots that can copy the flies flight patterns (模式)The military (军队)，too，is interested in Dickinsons work.It hopes to use findings like his to build planes with better reaction times，which could keep soldiers out of harms way. As for Dickinson，it should be noted that he doesnt hate flies.In fact，he goes out of his way to avoid killing them：“I get a little angry when someone brushes a fly away，since Im usually looking at it，watching it clean itself and move its little head.” 语篇解读 本文是说明文。文章是一项关于打苍蝇的研究。 1Michael Dickinson came to his conclusions_.
