In some science fiction movies, evil robots refuse to die, no matter how hard people fight back.
Now science fiction has become science fact. For the first time, scientists have made a robot that can take a beating (挨打) and keep on going. Scientists from Cornell University made the robot, which looks like a spider with four legs.
Until now, even the most advanced (先进的) robot was almost certain to break down when it was damaged. That is because its computer inside simply doesn’t know how to make the machine work after its shape has changed.
To deal with this problem, the scientists put eight motors (发动机) and two sensors (传感器) that read how the machine is working. They all give signals to the machine’s software. Using this information, the computer can then figure out the machine’s shape at any moment.
The new technology is a big advance in robot-making, scientists say, and it’s far from scary. It may someday help scientists create better artificial (假的) arms and legs and give new freedom to people who lose them. It might also help scientists understand how people and animals figure out their own sense of place in space.
“It has been difficult to design robots that can work well when the environment changes or when it’s damaged,” says Olaf Sporns of Indiana University in US. “With this work, we are nearer to solving this problem.”

Several weeks ago, our headmaster, Mr. Gaudi, told us that our school had been chosen to compete on Smart Aleck—a game show which my best friend Carla and I 16 love. Carla has a good imagination, and I know a lot of history, so we thought we’d be good 17 for the team.
A few days later, Mr. Gaudi held a meeting with everyone interested in the 18 . He told us that Smart Aleck uses a five-member team. He also said that three more people would be needed as backup(替补). 19 , four times that many students were at the meeting. So Mr. Gaudi said we would have a 20 and the top eight scorers(得分者) would become the team and the backup. Everybody agreed that this was a 21 way to decide.
Yesterday, all of the hopefuls went to the dining hall after school. We would have to decide the starting line-up(阵容). Mr. Gaudi acted as the host. After a few hours, all the 22 on the team were chosen except one. Carla and I tied(打成平手) for that last position. We had to hold a one-on-one competition 23 the two of us. The winner would be on the team and the loser would be the backup.
Midway through our two-person competition, I was starting to pull ahead(领先). 24 I saw the look on Carla's face. I waited for a second and knew what I had to do. As much as I wanted to be on Smart Aleck, Carla wanted 25 even more. So, starting with my next question, I held back and let Carla 26 , just by a little bit. She felt sorry for my not being on the team as she 27 she would be on the show. And since I will go as backup, I’ll still have the fun of 28 the show up close.
Was I cheating(欺骗) by not trying as hard as I could? I don’t think so. No one noticed, and Carla and I didn’t 29 it. It won’t hurt the team 30 Carla will be a very good competitor on the real show. I think that making my best friend happy was the right thing to do.
