17、 a disaster,the solution is always leaving the planet in spaceships.But the latest Chinese sci-fi movie,“The Wandering Earth”，offers a different idea.In the film,which is adapted from a short story by Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin,Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying Sun.Humans aroun

18、d the world work together to build a huge engine system that will push Earth away from the Sun.Instead of leaving Earth 一 again 一 this time were taking it with us.This idea didnt come from nowhere.For thousands of years,Chinese people have had a special emotion at their“homeland in their hearts and

19、minds.One old saying is“luo ye gui gen,which means returning to ones homeland in old age,like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree.Or look to an ancient poem:“The season called the White Dew(白 露)begins tonight/Nowhere as in our native place is the moon so bright.These both show the str

20、ong relationship that Chinese people have had with their homeland.This is probably what sets“The Wandering Earth apart from Hollywood-style space films.“What is Chinese sci-fi?”Guo Fan.the films director,said in an interview.“Films that can really express Our cultural and spiritual core(精神核心)can be

21、called Chinese sci-fi.Otherwise,we re just copying others and telling the same American stories.And the makers of“The Wandering Earth may have chosen the best time to tell the Chinese sci-fi story.The film was screened on Feb 5,the first day of Chinese New Year.It was a time when many people had jus

26、show their athletic abilities.The four-legged machines,mini versions of the larger and heavier Cheetah 3,began with a warm-up run across the field.Though they may be similar to their predecessors(原先的事物),the new four-legged machines are much more advanced.Weighing just nine kilograms,the robots can b

27、end and swing their legs wide,giving them the ability to walk either right-side-up or upside down.They can also travel through uneven places at about twice the speed of an average person s walking pace and quickly right themselves if kicked to the ground and perform unbelievable 360-degree backflips

28、(后空翻)from a standing position.Unlike the Cheetah 3,the main robots are built using cheap and easy to find parts.This means that if an arm or a motor breaks,it can be easily replaced.“If you wanted to add another arm,you could just add three or four more of these motors,”said lead developer Benjamin

29、Katz,“You could put these parts together,almost like Legos.”The team,which currently has ten of the four-legged machines,plans to build additional units in other university robotic labs.“A big part of why we built this robot is that it makes it easy to experiment and just try crazy things,because th

30、e robot is very strong and doesnt break easily,and if it does break,it s easy and not very expensive to fix,”said Katz.He believes that this will enable oth er engineers to teach the robots different skills.“Eventually,Im hoping that we could have a robotic dog race through an obstacle course,where

35、of Minnesota psychologist Stephanie M.Carlson.This finding stands in great contrast with the assumption by adults that todays children have less self-control than previous generations.The original marshmallow(棉花糖)test conducted by researchers at Stanford University involved a series of experiments i

36、n which children aged between 3 and 5 years were offered one treat that they could eat immediately or a larger treat if they waited.Researchers then left the room to see how long the children would wait and watched from behind a one-way mirror.Interestingly,todays adults thought that children nowada

37、ys would be more impulsive and less able to wait,Carlson found.Our findings serve as an example of how our beliefs can be wrong and how its important to do research,”said co-author Yuichi Shoda,PhD at the University of Washington.The researchers offered several possible explanations for why children

38、 in the 2000s waited longer than those in prior decades.They noted a statistically significant increase in IQ scores in the last several decades.Another explanation may be societys increased focus on the importance of early education,according to Carlson.The primary objective of preschool changed fr

40、d that“while the results indicate that the childrens ability to delay is not weakened on the marshmallow test,the findings do not speak to their willingness to delay gratification when faced with the many temptations now available in everyday life.”32.According to the passage,what is the adults assu

41、mption about todays children?A.They are not easy to please.B.They are less able to control themselves.C.They dont like things that are easy to get.D.They have different personalities from previous generations.33.What does the underlined word impulsive in Paragraph 3 mean?A.productive B.considerate C

46、,the frog will make a call almost like a scream,which is intended to scare the attacker.This scream is almost always made when the attacker succeeds in grasping the frog because,should it be greatly surprised,the attacker may release the frog,which might permit the animal to make its escape.39,which

47、 is employed when another frog is caught hold of by mistake.This regularly happens during the mating season,when male frogs eager for a mate wrongly grasp another male.In other cases,females that have already mated may make this call when different male frogs catch them.40 .Whenever a male catches a
