33、been tricky, because individual wings are made up of multiple feathers. These feathers are always interacting with each other, allowing the birds wings to morph continuously mid- flight. To learn more, David Lentink at Stanford University in California and his colleagues first looked at the wing of
34、a pigeon cadaver. Each wing had 40 feathers, 20 on the upper side, and 20 on the lower. We attached a marker onto each individual wing and we were able to carefully measure the relationship between feather motion and bone motion,“ says Lentink.We then just moved the wing, in and out.“ They found tha
35、t the wrist angle determined the angles of all the flight feathers at any one time, meaning that the birds can change the shape of their wings without having to control each individua! feather. This reduces the number of variables - or degrees of freedom - required to model the wings. We let go of t
36、he idea that you have to control every degree of freedom and 1 think future aircraft will benefit from this finding. Future airplanes may not flap their wings, but 1 think they will change shape,“ says Lentink. The team put this new finding to use in the construction of PigeonBot, intended to recrea
37、te pigeon flight. It is powered by a propeller and has wrist and feather joints in each -6- wing that can be controlled remotely. Its average speed is about 40 kilometres per hour, which is a bit slower than the average pigeon. Lentink and his colleagues also found that this type of flight was possi
38、ble only because of certain molecules embedded throughout the feathers. These molecules, which are just 10 micrometers across, allow feathers to move away from each other while ensuring they dont get too far apart. This in turn : reduces the level of individual feather control required for accurate
39、flight. PigeonBot also uses real pigeon feathers, because no synthetic material has this property. Feathers also have these unique properties, they have a lightness, a firmness to carry the aerodynamic load, and they re easy to repair,“ says Lentink. 58. What is the purpose of Davids study? A. To de
40、termine the angle of the flight feathers. B. To further study how feathers function in fight. C. To find if birds can change the shape of their wings. D. To measure the relationship between feather motion and bone motion. 59. The team build PigeonBot in order to A. imitate pigeons fight B. control f

42、ividuals who are risk takers and live the adventurous life- those who risk all for fame and fortune. This makes for very interesting but not necessarily truthful storytelling. For those people who succeed, risk is indeed a fascinating life choice, but not all risk takers succeed either financially o
43、r personally, and that leaves the rest of us with the necessity of trying to discover alternate choices about how we wish to conduct our lives. One of these possible alternate choices is to choose a life dedicated to the pursuit of personal responsibility. This potential choice may perhaps in the lo
44、ng run be an even more satisfying life choice than many other possibilities. Our first commitment to personal responsibility must of course begin with a lifelong commitment to ourselves and our needs- our health needs, our education needs, caring about our appearance, caring about our personal envir
45、onment and our happiness, so that we can ultimately enhance our self- esteem and become strong and secure individuals. Next our ongoing commitment should be to the important others in our lives to help them to achieve their own potential so that they too will be able to live more fulfilled lives. Wh
46、en we have made a determined effort to achieve our first two goals, then our next step is a dedicated, personal commitment to the society and the world in which we live to try to help make a better and safer environment for all, so that someday when we look back at the accomplishments of our lives,
47、we can feel a sense of pride that because of our efforts we have -7- succeeded in some small way t make the world a more human and humane home for all. This life path choice is not entirely risk free. Life has no completely risk free options, but it is certainly a safer and more secure choice for a life well lived, because each succeeding step is given careful thought and each potential risk is assessed carefully. This life path choice can almost certainly lead to a happier life with better relationships and a more loving and certain future for ourselves, our loved ones and for th
