28、a result, Isabelle has been receiving blood transfusions every 4-6weeks since she was 11 months old. A lifetime of regular transfusions can lead to serious medical problems.

34、 lot. But the thing is, people make assumptions about funny people. They forget that funny people can be sad because we mistake that laughter for happiness, and that happiness for strength. In light of Robin Williams recent and tragic death, I want to write about what it really means to be someone w

35、ho is funny.Heres the difference between someone who has an innate sense of humor and someone who does not. I see humor in everyday moments and the other person does not. Not only do I find regular, seemingly uninteresting moments funny, I also know how to communicate them so that a person who would

36、nt normally find them humorous does.Finding humor in everyday moments is a way to be artificially happy all the time. Often, youll find that comedians are the saddest, most depressed beings there are out there. We use humor to transform the pain, but once the audience leaves, were reminded of what w

37、as underneath the smiles and nods. Humor is our way of masking our unhappiness. It seems slightly ironic, but since when has human behavior ever made sense?Its not a bad thing to be lighthearted about the world, but the problem is, few people are. I am not lighthearted. I may come off that way, but

38、I dont feel that way. People see what they want to see, and they dont bother to dig deeper following first impressions.

But there are moments in life I wouldnt give up for anything: Seeing a smile on my brothers face after he wins a tennis match, the satisfaction of having a meal so delicious that you cant believe its real, getting a kiss from a loved one. Those are the mo

40、ments worth living for, and those are the moments that dont need sugar coating. They are real and they are mine. They are the things that keep me going and they dont need laughter to make me happy.59. What is the authors main purpose in writing the article?A. To teach the readers how to become a fun

41、ny and happy person.B. To tell the readers what the world of comedians is really like.C. To grieve over the recent and tragic death of Robin Williams.D.

43、 infer from the last two paragraphs that the author_.A. is always optimistic about her life B. developed a good friendship with Robin WilliamsC. regards her family as the source of her strength and happiness D. managed to get through the troubles in her life by herselfCA team of engineers at Harvard

44、 University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform co

45、ntrolled flight tasks.“Its extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components(元件), ”said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team

46、got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The s

47、eemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything its connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation,

48、sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so tha

49、t it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and co

50、mputation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “So there are a lot of technologi

51、es and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day-to-day basis.”63. The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that _.A. they had no model in their mindB. they did not have sufficient timeC. they had no ready-made componentsD. th

52、ey could not assemble the components64. It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly_.A. consists of a flight device and a control systemB. can just fly in limited areas at the present timeC. can collect information from many sourcesD. has been put into wide application65. Which o

53、f the following can be learned from the passage?A. The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects.B. Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.C. There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.D. Woods design can replace animals in some experiments.66. Which of the following might

54、be the best title of the passage?A. Father of Robotic FlyB. Inspiration from Engineering ScienceC. Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life InsectD. Harvard Breaks Through in Insect StudyDI hate the word “multitasking”. To me it sounds like doing lots of things all at once, only doing them all very badly and feeling like an exhausted failure when its over. It gives me the feel of “hurry and do everything now because everything else is waiting.” I see the evil taskmaster with arms crossed and foot tapping. Yet the ability to multitask is praised in our
