Traditionally, robots have been hard,made of metal and other rigid material. But a team of
scientists at Harvard University in the US has managed to build an entirely soft robot—one that draws
inspiration from an octopus (章鱼).
Described in science journal Nature,the “Octobot” could pave the way for more effective
autonomous robots that could be used in search, rescue and exploration .“The Octobot is a minimal system
which may serve as a foundation for a new generation of completely soft,autonomous robots,”the
study's authors wrote.
Robots built for precise,repetitive movements in a controlled environment don't do so well on
rough terrains (地形) or in unpredictable conditions. And they aren't especially safe around humans,
because they're made out of hard and heavy parts that could be potentially dangerous to their users.
So researchers have been working on building soft robots for decades. They've taken inspiration
from nature,looking to animals from jellyfish to cockroaches, which are often made up of more flexible
matter.
But creating a completely soft robot remains a challenge. Even if engineers build a silicone (硅酮)
body,it's still a grand challenge to construct flexible versions of essential parts,such as a source of
power.
“Although soft robotics is still in its early stage,it holds great promise for several applications,
such as searchandrescue operations and exploration,”Barbara Mazzolai and Virgilio Mattoli of the
Italian Institute of Technology's Center for MicroBioRobotics,wrote in a comment. “Soft robots might
also open up new approaches to improving wellness and quality of life.”
4.What's the special feature of “Octobot”?
A.It's soft. B.It's made of metal.
5.What's the disadvantage of traditional robots?
A.They're hard to control.
B.They're too heavy to move.
C.They can't predict conditions.
D.They can't behave well all the time.
6.One of the biggest challenges is to build Octobot's ________.

B.complex components
C.precise movements
D.flexible power source
7.What's the possible application of “Octobot”?
A.Medical research.
B.Life rescue.
C.Machine operation.
D.House cleaning.

recent event has shaken you greatly? Here are things you can do in the midst of uncertainty to choose

you what you are capable of.
Make conscious decisions.
__3__ However, more possibilities open up when we are at peace. Go over your list of what ifs and
make a more balanced list of the best and worst situations possible. Then talk to loved ones about what you
would do in each situation and the choices you do have.
__4__
We often see fears as our greatest enemy, yet they provide us with an enormous opportunity for self-
growth. What if we were to see them as friends who want to help us become a better person? Let your fears
help you instead of hurting you. Then, write down what comes to you. __5__
