Lrd Nrman Fster, renwned as ne f the wrld’s fremst architects, has devted decades t
redefining the cncept f tall buildings. “What we’ve dne is create a sense f identify drawn frm real
needs,” Fster said. “It’s nt a fashinable idea, but generated frm the realities we were in.”His
masterpiece includes icnic structures such as the HSBC building in Hng Kng. Nw, he’s set his
sights n Qatar.
Currently nearing cmpletin and set t reach a height f 301 meters, Fster’s Lusail Twers are
ready
t claim the title f Qatar’s tallest buildings. Lusail Twers are intended t serve as a center fr Qatar's
financial institutins, with fur distinctive blcks, tw standing at 70 stries and tw at 50 stries.
But the cnstructin itself wasn’t all plain sailing. T address the unique challenges presented by

Qatar’s ht climate, Fster’s team had t depart frm the materials cmmnly used in skyscrapers in
cler cuntries —part f what Fster called a decades-lng quest t “reinvent the tall building.” The
design cmbines advanced shading with ventilatin(通风) ,while the twers’ surfaces are cated with
“marine-grade”aluminum (铝) that wraps arund the buildings, prtecting the glass frm strng sunlight
while maintaining the views and still letting in natural light.Central t the prject are special shading fins
(鳍), which nt nly ptimize views and natural lighting fr ccupants but reduce slar radiatin by 70%
cmpared t traditinal all-glass twers.
While the twers are ready t becme a recgnizable landmark fr Lusail, Fster believes that a
city’s skyline reflects what lies beneath the surface. It was crucial t integrate the twers int a “lw-
scale master plan.” They are strategically psitined n tp f a subway line and at the end f a
cmmercial avenue linking the waterfrnt(滨水区)t the nearby ftball stadium. Accrding t Fster,
the grund features f the plaza will play a significant rle in the bjective f transfrming the area int
a lively public space fr the future.

8.Accrding t Fster’s cncept,what shuld tall buildings be like?
A.Renwned. B.Identical. C.Fashinable D.Practical.

9.What can we learn abut the Lusail Twers?
A.They will functin as a glbal financial center.
B.They are expected t be Qartar’s tallest building.
C.They are Fster’s mst renwned icnic masterpiece.
D.They have fur blcks with the same style and height.
0.What was the slutin t the challenges caused by Qatar’s ht climate?
A.Cating the twer with an uncnventinal material.
B.Reducing the views and natural lighting with shading fins.
C.Replacing the glass with"marine-grade"aluminum.
D.Prtecting the glass frm natural light and slar radiatin.

C.T ffer a dynamic public space fr the future.

Rbts have lng been drawing inspiratin frm animals, with the creatin f rbt dgs r snake-
shaped rbts. And yet, the field f rbtics is far less enthusiastic abut the ther kind f living
things—plants. Barbara Mazzlai, an Italian rbticist wes this t a miscnceptin abut plant behavir:
that they cannt mve r think. “It’s nt true at all,” she says. T challenge this view, Dr Mazzlai and
her team recently launched a machine called “FilBt”, a rbt based n a climbing species.
T survive, a climbing plant must switch between several different behavirs. In frest
envirnments, it must first grw ut f the sil and travel alng the grund in search f a supprt t hld
nt, such as a nearby
tree. Once a supprt is lcated, thugh, the plant fixes itself arund the bject and then grwing
twards the light. T chse the best angle t grw upwards, a climbing plant uses its shts(芽) t
receive infrmatin abut light and gravity.

FilBt has sensrs n its main sht. It can 3D-print its bdy with plastic and grw at a
cntrllable rate. These functins, researchers fund, enabled FilBt t crss gaps, and find things t
attach t. The lack f heavy n-bard cmputing device means that it is light and requires minimal care,
while its slw pace means that it desn’t disturb things arund it, making it pssible t mve thrugh a
cmplex, unseen envirnment, r mnitring disaster sites.
Fr nw, FilBt is still being tested. Its tendrils(卷须) have nt left the labratry. Still, it has
already been emplyed in decnstructing plant behaviur. Fr example, it was lng assumed that
climbing plants find their supprts by grwing twards shade, thugh the exact mechanism was unclear.
FilBt culd imitate this behaviur by detecting far-red light, which is typical f shaded areas,
prviding clues t hw plants d it.
Dr Mazzlai hpes that such prjects will inspire ther rbticists t take their cues frm plants and
develp cmpletely new technlgies.

Alvin Bamburg, 66, was deep in the wds in Grand Cane, Luisiana, last December when
smething caught his eye. Amng the fallen branches and leaves, it lked like litter. But Bamburg was
attracted and picked it up.
“Gd just tld me,” he later recunted.
As he drew clser, he saw that it was a brken balln. Attached was a piece f paper decrated
with sparkly star stickers. It was a child’s Christmas wish list.
“Dear Santa,” the handwritten nte read. “My name is Luna. I am fur years ld. I live in Liberal,
Kansas. This year I have been nice. I wuld like candy, Spider-Man ball, Frzen dll. With lve, Luna.”
Bamburg’s heart hammered in his chest. Ever since he was a child, he had dreamed f this very
scenari. “Years ag,” he says, “classes at schl released ballns with ntes. I’ve always wanted t
find ne.”

He believed this was his childhd wish cming true. And he knew he was ging t make Luna’s wish cme
true t.
Hwever, the task seemed impssible, as Liberal, Kansas, is mre than 650 miles frm Grand Cane,
Luisiana. But Bamburg’s wife, Lee Ann Bamburg, didn’t mind the distance. As an enthusiastic Facebk user,
she had seen ther peple find all srts f cnnectins thrugh the site and thught it might help her husband find
Luna.
The next day Alvin psted a pht f the balln and the Christmas list n his Facebk page, asking fr help
lcating the sender.
At first, he wasn’t cnfident the strategy wuld wrk. But as he saw the number f shares and cmments n
his pst climbed int the hundreds, his hpe grew int expectatin. “I knew we were ging t find Luna.” Alvin
said.
And indeed, they did.
