26、 A new type of robot could help industries to cut costs and make better products.
Industrial robots have long been dangerous, caged creatures. But in recent years, the barriers between robots and humans have been coming down. A friendlier type of robot has begun appearing on the factory floor – and with it, a new way of working that could cut costs in many industries.
One area that has benefited hugely is the car industry. “In a car plant, a vehicle is produced every minute, and approximately 1,000 cars are made a day,” said Adolfo Suarez Roos, the Airbus Group expert who works with robotics on the French National Research Agency project ICARO. On the project, robots are able to help workers with repetitive tasks.
Suarez is hopeful the same success can be enjoyed while making planes. But given that robotics isn’t as widely used, the challenges are very different. “When making cars ,a robot has 40 seconds to do its job and the complete programming task takes about a month,” he said. “At Airbus, we produce 1.5 aircraft per day, so we have to look at tasks that will last several hours. We need mobile robots and a very simple way to program the robot.”
At Cranfield University, the EPSRC Centre in Intelligent Automation is trying to make this a reality for flight. An important part of the work is understanding how tasks can be divided between industrial robots and human operators to make use of the skills of both. When man and machine are working together over long periods of time, engineers are looking at how human can improve the robot or the robot can improve the human.
The project, called Futurassy, last year began introducing the robots to perform the processes that could be used across other sites by Airbus, an aircraft company.
The first robotic unit bought by Airbus arrived last year, and is now used at the A380 station, where humans now work with the robot. Key to the success of this project is safety, and making sure that the barriers between human and robot are just enough to still allow a productive working relationship.
Prof Phil Webb claims there is no doubt that the number of robots putting together aircraft will increase significantly over the next few years. Cost pressures placed on the traditional centers in North America and Europe mean they soon won’t have a choice but to move ahead with robotics.
【1】Which industry has benefited a lot from robotics according to the article?

A.Technology development. B.Cost pressures.

D.The advantages and disadvantages of robots.
27、 I was on the way to my friend’s house. She lives at the top of a high hill. Up the hill, my four-year-old daughter, Colette, refused to take another step, and as a mother, I had to carry her on my back. Unluckily, we were stuck halfway.
The road to my friend’s house is so narrow that drivers, upon discovering it’s a dead end for a car, have to go back down the hill because there’s no place to turn around. That happened to me once, which was why I just walked here today. But we were still stuck.
I saw a man approaching. “Do me a favor. My finger was cut. Please call 911,” the man said. With his left hand, he put his handkerchief (手帕) around his bloody right hand and held it up.
“No phone,” I said, as if English were also my second language. “I have a phone,” he said, and lowered his chin toward his front pocket. I didn’t want to reach my hand there, but the blood did look real. In his pocket, I found a phone. I took it out. I was afraid that it was dangerous to stand there, so I stepped back out of arm’s reach, and then called 911.
A woman operator answered, and after I gave her the address, I said, “I’m here with this guy, and he said he cut his finger.”
“Is it bad?” the operator asked. “Yes. It’s bad.” I told her. The operator asked again, “Did he cut it off?” Now, there was a question I hadn’t thought of. “Did you cut it off?” I asked the man. He answered immediately, “Yes.” He breathed a sigh of relief as he finally made someone understand the situation.
I told the operator, “Yes. He cut it off.” “Keep the finger,” she told me, “the ambulance will be there in a minute!” Finally, the ambulance picked up the man and we struggled to reach my friend’s house.

28、The Best National Parks to Visit in Winter
While most parks tend to draw families in the summer and fall, there are also ideal spots for adventurous winter trips.
Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
The country’s oldest and best-known national park takes on an almost otherworldly atmosphere in winter: the air filled with rolling steam, the strong colors of hot springs, the surrounding white landscapes, let alone the impressive wildlife during this time, like bison, wolves, and playful red foxes. Just book a guided hiking tour to get a ranger’s perspective on the park and local people.
Joshua Tree National Park, California
With its giant red rocks and unique trees, you’ll feel like stepping onto a foreign planet as you spend hours hiking the Panorama Loop or Maze Loop. The park is recognized as an International Dark Sky Park, featuring virtually zero light pollution and the country’s best views of a starry sky.
Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
A significantly lower number of visitors in winter means you can take in unblocked views of the South Rim, and get to see the rare beauty of the Grand Canyon dusted with snow. For those adventurous and daring, it is recommended to hike the Bright Angel Trail and take the chance to see the canyon’s wintertime wildlife, including mule deer, elk, and bald eagles.
Virgin Islands National Park, St. John
Surprise! Not all wintertime national park trips need to involve snow. Virgin Islands National Park is most famous for its white-sand beaches. You can also hike inland to visit old sugar plantations, or venture out to the water to swim along with sea turtles and manta rays. You will definitely enjoy a different winter here.
【1】Which park will one choose if he/she is interested in stars?
