Scientists from Cornell University made the robot, which looks like an animal with four legs.Until now, even the most perfect robot is almost certain to break down when it is
14、 damaged. That is because its computer inside simply doesnt know how to make the robot work after its shape has changed. To deal with this problem, the scientists put a “brain” into the robot that can read how the robot is working. With it , the computer can then know the robots shape at any moment.
15、“The new technology has developed in robot-making,” scientists say. It may someday help scientists create better man-made arms and legs and give new freedom（自由）to people who lose them. It might also help scientists understand how people and animals know their own sense of place in space.“It has been

20、bag with natural ingredients. The bags look just like plastic ones, but they can be broken down in a few seconds. They bring no harm to the environment. People can even eat them. EnviGreen Founder Ashwath Hedge spent four years doing experiments with a combination of 12 natural ingredients. They inc
21、lude potatoes, corn, vegetable oil and bananas. He made the ingredients into liquid (液体) and used the liquid to make the bag.Although an EnviGreen bag is about 35 percent more expensive than a common plastic bag, it has many advantages. According to The Wall 5Street Journal, it takes 1,000 years for
22、 common plastic bags to break down. But an EnviGreen bag can naturally break down in less than 180 days. It also breaks down in less than a day in water, and in about 15 seconds in boiling water. Hedge was happy to show it in his interview. In the interview, he put an EnviGreen bag in water and ate
