Rbts can be prgrammed t mve a car and even perfrm sme peratins. Hwever, when it cmes t picking up smething that they have nt tuched befre, such as an egg, they ften fail. Nw, engineers have invented an artificial fingertip (指尖) which breaks that limitatin. It enables machines t sense bjects as a human fingertip des.
Engineers have been wrking hard t make rbts flexible and sensitive. When researchers frm a university began designing an artificial fingertip in 2009, they used human skin as a guide. Their first fingertip was abut the size f a cke can. By 2018, 3D printing made it abut the size f an adult's big te, with the multi-layered structure like human skin.
The latest breakthrugh is called TacTip. Scientists include artificial nerve netwrks int the fingertip, which enables a rbt t quickly prcess what it's sensing and act accrdingly like a real finger.
“A lt f ur sense f tuch is decided by ur skin,” says prfessr Benjamin, leader f the research team. In ur fingertips, nerve endings will defrm when the skin tuches an bject and then sends the signals t the brain abut what's happening. Similarly, the nerve netwrks f TacTip pick up and translate thse signals int the fingertip's actins, telling rbts t handle bjects f all shapes and sizes withut prgramming, accrding t Benjamin.
Sme scientists dubt whether TacTip is nly just skin-like. The signals frm the artificial and human fingertips are nt quite the same, as the signals in real skin are mre intense. Other scientists think highly f this breakthrugh. “At least it helps clarify hw human tuch wrks and is a necessary step t imprve rbtic tuch,”says prfessr Smith, a material scientist.
8. Why des the writer mentin“an egg”in Paragraph 1?
A. T find a slutin fr engineers.
B. T shw rbts have limitatins.
C. T tell hw rbts sense bjects.
D. T explain why rbts ften fail.
9. Which f the fllwing plays the mst imprtant rle in the latest breakthrugh?
A. Artificial nerve netwrks.
B. 3D printing.
C. Multi-layered structure.
D. Human skin.
10. What des the underlined wrd“defrm” mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Develp.
B. Stp wrking.
C. Decrease.
D. Change shapes.
11. Which is the best title fr the text?
A. TacTip Changes Hw Tuch Wrks in Humans
B. Rbts Have Becme Mre Flexible and Sensitive
C. Artificial Fingertip Gives Rbts Human-like Tuch
D. Engineers Have Achieved a Breakthrugh in 3D Printing

Imagine yu’re purchasing a lttery ticket, and yur heart races as yu check the numbers. T yur amazement, yu’ve matched five ut f six! What will yu d next? Will yu buy anther ticket? Fr mst peple, the answer is a big “Yes”.
When we cme clse t achieving a gal we ften gain a pwerful energy that can drive us tward future success. Mnica Wadhwa, a marketing prfessr at Temple University, suggests that nt winning can actually mtivate us mre than winning itself.
In her studies, Wadhwa cnducted varius experiments t test this cncept. In ne experiment, participants played a cellphne game with the task f revealing eight diamnds. After the game, thse wh nearly wn — by getting seven diamnds — walked faster t claim their reward than bth winners and lsers. “Their mtivatin is getting intensified (加强), but then they miss it ... S what happens t this mtivatin? It hks n, giving yu the energy fr the next gal that yu have.” Wadhwa explains, “As fr the winners, they inch tward their gal, they achieve it, and their mtivatin is satisfied, which leaves them with n need t fight fr anything else.”
Hwever, this fire in yur belly shuld be used wisely. Such mtivatin can push yu tward significant gals, r be wasted n distractins. In anther experiment at a fashin-accessry stre where shppers were given scratch-ff lttery tickets, the near-winners shpped mre and spent mre than bth winners and lsers.
T harness (利用) this energy, Wadhwa advises setting gals that are slightly beynd ur reach. She encurages managers t establish challenging yet achievable targets fr their teams. Additinally, she recmmends that parents highlight hw clse their children came t winning when they experience lsses, fstering resilience and mtivatin. By understanding the unique pwer f nearly winning, we can turn setbacks int stepping stnes fr future success. As Wadhwa puts it. “Winners really d nt take it all.”
12. What’s the purpse f paragraph 1?
A. T stress the imprtance f winning.B. T display harmful effects f the lttery.
C. T explain the rules f playing the lttery.D. T illustrate the excitement f nearly winning.
13. Accrding t Wadhwa, what mtivated the near-winners t act faster?
A. The eagerness t win anther game.B. The unmet ambitins fr winning games.
C. The dissatisfactin f nt achieving gals.D. The need fr immediate recgnitin r rewards.
14. What des the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Feeling energized des nt always ensure success.
B. Yu shuld nt let yur emtins guide yur actins.
C. Mtivatin can lead t unwise chices if nt cntrlled.
D. Having strng ambitins always leads t acting carelessly.
15. Which statement might Wadhwa agree mst?
A. Parents shuld take their children’s lsses seriusly.
B. Managers shuld assign mre tasks t star perfrmers.
C. Encuraging children t fight fr perfectin is essential.
D. Setting slightly challenging gals can enhance mtivatin.
