Researchers at the University f Califrnia,Santa Barbara have designed a ne-ft device that can jump mre than 30 meters in the air,three times the current recrd fr a jumping rbt.
"The mtivatin came frm a scientific questin,"the lead authr Ellit W.Hawkers,a mechanical engineer at UC Santa Barbara,says in a statement.“We wanted t understand what the limits were n engineered jumpers."
"Many mechanical jumping systems are based n bilgical jumpers —— r thse in the animal kingdm, but animals have limits t their jumping ability based n hw much energy they can prduce in a strke（收缩）f their muscle，"Charles Xia， a researcher in Hawkes'lab， says in the statement.
Researchers in this study tk a different apprach, using a mtr t take multiple strkes and increase the amunt f stred energy in the spring. The small mtr winds up a line that presses the spring，which is made f carbn-fiber cmpressin bws（压缩弓）and rubber bands. When a release mechanism is unlcked, the device launches int the air.
Because the stred energy is greater，this device's spring-t-mtr rati（比率） is als larger than what's seen in the animal kingdm by abut 100 times. The device is lightweight and aerdynamic,which allws it t jump the height f a 10-stry building and increase its speed frm zer t 60 mph in nine meters per secnd.
While this kind f device culd be used t navigate difficult lands n the Earth, researchers say it culd reach heights even greater n the mn, where gravity is weaker.
"On the Earth,jumping rbts culd vercme bstacles previusly nly navigated by flying rbts while cllecting visin-based data f the grund belw,"write the authrs."On the mn, the jumps f the presented jumper wuld be even higher:125 meters high while cvering half a kilmeter in a single bund.
12.What inspired the design f the device?
A. A scientific questin. B.A mistaken recgnitin.
C.The limit t engineer ability. D.The recrd f rbtic flexibility.
13.Hw is the innvatin f the device presented?
A.By making cmments. B.By giving examples.
C.By making cmparisns. D.By giving definitins.
14.What des paragraph 4 mainly talk abut?
A.Hw the device wrks. B.Wh is in favr f the idea.
C.When the mechanism is unlcked. D.What causes the device t jump high.
15.What can the device be used t d?
A.Push thrugh crwded streets. B.Stre greater energy fr lng.
C.Cllect research data in time. D.Help d surveys n the mn.

第二节
One pssible versin:
I gradually realize the patients' stries are a bnd be-tween the teller and the listener. Each stry is different. Sme are detailed;thers are vague. Sme have a beginning, middle and end. Others wander withut a clear cnclusin. Sme are true; thers nt. Yet all thse things d nt really matter. What matters t the stryteller is that the stry is heard—withut interruptin, assumptin r judgement. I always reminded myself f the imprtance f stp-ping,sitting dwn and truly listening.
When my cnditin affected my hands,I resigned and began t teach medical students.Nw l culd view the whle frm the perspective f physician and patient. I tell them I believe in the pwer f listening. I tell them I knw first hand that immeasurable healing takes place within me when smene stps, sits dwn and listens t my stry. Listening t smene's stry csts less than expensive diagnstic testing but is key t healing and diagnsis.
