25、heels, limiting mobility. There is a need for more agile robots that can jump over obstacles in messy environments, Parslew says. To design such a machine, he turned to nature: Birds are really good jumpers, he notes.The trouble is, when birds start to take off, they lean so far forward that they sh

26、ould tip over and fall onto their beaks(喙). Yet that does not happen. Parslew and his team used computer modeling to discover how birds avoid this fate.

27、, which prevent them from taking off briefly and immediately crashing into the ground. The result were published last October in Royal Society Open Science.Parslew thinks engineers can use this information to design robots that can not only jump well but also launch into flight more. efficiently. Un

28、iversity of Southern California biomechanist Michael Habib, who was not involved in the study, says springs and levers(杠杆)enable more rapid acceleration-than wheels do.

32、been created.CThe development of robots benefits space exploreDStudying birds jumping helps scientist build better robots.24（8分） Weve heard of robots and AI（Artificial Intelligence）taking human jobs, but I bet mayors（市长）dont really think their jobs can be threatened any time soon. They were wrong, a

33、nd the AI running for the mayor of a Tokyo district was clear proof of that.AI cant legally run for high-ranking public management positions yet, but one mayoral candidate from Tama City, Tokyo, intended to maximize the use of artificial intelligence in running city affairs. He was running his campa
