Long time ago, there was a seed. Because he was only a seed,   36   cared to notice him. Thus, feeling useless, the seed thought he was not important at all.

     Then one day, a   37  picked him up and threw him on an open field under the sun. He was   38 , thinking, "Why would a wind do such a thing?" But   39  any pleasant answers, he was   40   with sunlight as well as   41  , sometimes light and sometimes heavy.

 Time flew by and years later, he saw a  42  sitting by his side. "Thank God for this. I really need some   43 ",he heard the traveler say.

  "What are you   44  ?"The seed asked. He thought the man was   45  him. Surely he had seen many people sitting by his side,  46  no one ever spoke to him like that.

  "Who is this?" The man was   47

  "This is me, the seed. "

  "The seed?" The man looked at the big   48   "Are you kidding me? You are not a seed. You are a tree. A big tree !

   "   49  ?"

    The seed, now a big tree, thought and  53  for the first time in his life. The years of suffering from the sun and the rain were useful to him at last.

   "Oh! That means I'm not a(n)   54  seed anymore! Wow! I'm a big tree now. That's the   55  that I really want !"

  The use of the word imitation(模仿) reminds me that we ought to make some more comments on the risk of people imitating what they see on the screen in the way of crime(犯罪) or violence.First there was always a risk of children acting out scenes which could be dangerous.For example,I remember a woman who was head of a middle school telling me that she had happened to look out of her window when the children were on the playground and had seen them putting a small boy on a chair with a rope round his neck and the rope over the branch of a tree;fortunately she was in time to get there before the child was hanged.I remember a film in particular in which the hero who was imprisoned had escaped by electrocuting(通电触死) his guard,the technique of doing this being shown in detail.This was the kind of scene which we could cut for these reasons.

    In films for young people and adults we always tried to keep off the screen the details of criminal techniques,such as how to open a locked door with a piece of hard plastic or how to open a safe;if we were consulted(请教) before production,I used to advise that the details should not be shown.When I gave talks in prisons about film checking I had full support for this,since fathers who were in prison for criminal offences did not want their children to get on crime.

    Every time I gave a talk in a prison someone used to mention the French film Rififi.made by Jules Dassin in 1954.This remarkable film showed in great detail a robbery of a jeweller’s shop,the robbery lasting about half an hour and being backed by only natural sound...one of the most brilliant film sequences(连续镜头) of all time.I remember our discussion at the time.We thought that the robbery was finished only with the use of advanced and obviously expensive equipment and that only the most experienced and skilled criminals could possibly imitate it;we believed therefore that it was relatively safe.When talking in prisons some years later I learned that there had been several robberies in which the techniques had been copied,so perhaps we were wrong.

The writer thinks that______.

    A.the details of the criminal technique should be kept

    B.the details of the crime should not be shown on the screen

    C.children should not imitate what they see on the screen

    D.it is dangerous to imitate what they see on the screen

What is the writer’s attitude(态度) towards the film in which the hero had escaped by electrocuting the guard?

    A.The writer likes it very much.                 

    B.The writer is strongly against it.

    C.The writer thinks the film has some value.     

    D.The writer does not show his/her attitude.

All the following statements about“Rififi”are true EXCEPT______.

    A.that the robbery shown needs experience and skills

    B.that some very good tools were used in the robbery

    C.that the film showed the technique in detail

    D.that the technique of the robbery was not imitated

It can be inferred from the passage that______.

    A.it is hard for children to tell the differences between real life and the imaginary

    B.only people in prison support film checking

    C.only children imitate what they have seen on the screen

    D.the writer used to advise the details of crime should be shown

A team of engineers at Harvard 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 controlled flight tasks.

“It’s 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 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 seemingly 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 it’s connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, 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 that 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 computation 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 technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day-to-day basis.”

72. The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that ________.

A. they had no model in their mind

B. they did not have sufficient time

C. they had no ready-made components

D. they could no assemble the components

73. It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly_________.

A. consists of a flight device and a control system

B. can just fly in limited areas at the present time

C. can collect information from many sources

D. has been put into wide application

74. Which of 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. Wood’s design can replace animals in some experiments.

75. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A. Father of Robotic Fly

B. Inspiration from Engineering Science

C. Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect

D. Harvard Breaks Through in Insect Study
