10、ave been able to continue my devotion to teaching, and I love every second of it! Every child should be taught first aid, and what they can do to help in the event of a medical emergency. The several hours in the classroom, could, and have proven to help children develop and be confident in their ne

11、wfound skills. Understanding what a defibrillator（除颤器）is, and learning how to use one in addition to basic lifesaving skills are incredibly valuable and rewarding skills to have.

16、nd intelligence. However, as a group, they can use complex strategies to complete complicated tasks and escape from larger predators（捕食者）. Robotics researchers in Professor Jamie Paiks Laboratory have reproduced this characteristic. Theyve developed tiny robots that display small physical intelligen

17、ce on an individual level but that are able to communicate and act collectively（共同地). Though being simple in design and weighing only 10 grams, each robot has many different movement patterns to go through any type of surface. Collectively, they can quickly discover and overcome obstacles（障碍）， and m

18、ove objects much larger and heavier than themselves. The related research has been published in Nature. These three- legged, T-shaped robots are called Tribots. They can be made in only a few minutes by folding some thin, multi-material boards. That means theyre suitable to be produced in quantity.

19、Completely self-acting and wireless, Tribots are equipped with infrared（红外线的）and close-range sensors（传感器）for exploration and communication purposes. They could have even more sensors, depending on the application. So they can be widely used in various situations. “ Their movements are modeled on tho

20、se of Odontomachus ants. These insects normally crawl, but to escape a predator, they jump from leaf to leaf” says Zhenishbek Zhakypov, the lead researcher. Tribots copy this jumping ability through an elegant foldable design that combines several drivers made from shape-memory materials. As a resul

21、t, a single robot can produce five movements: jumping up, jumping forward, turning over to clear obstacles, walking on waved ground and crawling on flat surface-just like the real ants. Although these robots have the same structure, each of them is given a specific role in the group, depending on th

22、e situation. “ Explorers” find out physical obstacles in their path, such as objects, valleys and mountains. After discovering an obstacles, they inform the “leader” of the situation. Then, the “leader” gives the instructions. After that, the “workers” gather up their strength to move objects.8. Wha

25、the smart sensors11. What will the “explorers” do when they find an obstacles?A. Move it away by themselves B. Ignore it and change their path.C. Send a message to the “leader”D. Order the “workers” to deal with it.DHaving friends at work is not only key to your personal Happiness, but also importan

26、t for having a successful career. In fact, it makes you more likely to be involved in your job. A new survey by job site Comparably found that of over 33,000 workers across the tech industry, more than half report having best friends at work. While 60 percent of women said they have a close friend a

27、t work, 56 percent of men admitted having work BFFs (Best Friends Forever) as well. “One of the most important things to have in the workplace is a close relationship,” Comparably CEO Jason Nazar said. “ So very often the largest source of stress for people is a boss, co-worker or the day-to-day pre

28、ssure of work.” “The fact that more than half of employees we surveyed have a best friend at work is a good sign,” Nazar adds. “ Having someone there to go through the good times and bad experiences with you is invaluable.” Though men and women generally have close friends at almost equal rates, the

29、 percentage alters depending on your job role and level of work experience. People in entry- level jobs are least likely to say they have a best friend at work(53 percent), while 60 percent of those with one to six years of experience are most likely to say they do have one. In addition, tech execut

30、ives （主管）, HR and business development employees report having firm friendships. Even if you find yourself in a role where it may be more difficult to form and keep friendships, you should try to find someone who you can really talk with. This is Annie McKee, a happiness expert and Fortune 500 advis

31、ers recommendation. Having a close friend or two at work will help in the long run. “ Connecting with people improves our mood and boosts（增强）our confidence. And friendships provide us with the emotional and psychological strength to deal with whatever comes our way-whether its an exciting opportunit

32、y, a challenge or a crisis,” McKee said.12. What did the survey by Comparably find about workers across the tech industry?A. Men often find it difficult to make friends with co-workers.B.
