29、nk I talk too much. As my thirties came to a close, I found myself reflecting on my life. Im very happy and have no significant regrets. However, when I looked back on those times of difficulty, I saw a clear common denominator(特征 ); I didnt seem to know when to stop talking. Whether it was hurting

35、, heavenly bells. I talked too much so people would know I cared about them. It was my way of taking care of those I love. I decided before my fortieth birthday, that from that day forward, those around me would know I loved them, and cared what they thought and felt, but I was going to practice the

36、 power of quiet. As my forty-second birthday approaches, I can say that deciding to talk less has been more about focusing on quality rather than quantity. Ive found that listening more shows those who I care about that I really do care how they feel. Now when I break in, it means more to them. Oh,

The mechanical fly has become a platform for a ser

42、ies of new high-tech integrated 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. Its extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum

43、 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 tha

44、t 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,

45、 each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything its 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 com

46、ponents 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. Basicall

47、y 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 a

48、nswer 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. 32.The difficulty

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 not assemble the components 解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段的 “ 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”意为类似这样的质目的一个额外的 困难就是，这些组成
