22、 I never imagined this would lead to mychosen career.My work as an expedition doctor has taken me all over the world,from mosquito-infested wet land in Africa tothe untouched wilderness of Antarctica.However,my favourite trips,and the ones in which I now specialize,arethose involving mountains.Never

23、 do I feel more inspired by nature than when I look up at their towering peaks andbegin to prepare myself mentally for the challenges ahead.I trained as a doctor in the UK,but there was little in that training to prepare me to deal with a broken legduring a storm on the side of a mountain!In fact,Td

24、 say that medical skills come some way down the list of jobrequirements,after stamina（耐力）,problem-solving and communication.This kind of medicine million miles away from the controlled,clean environment of a hospital,and yourmedical kit basically consists of whatever you can carry,so you sometimes h

26、ted out,these holidays were quite rare,but they have become much more mainstream now that weve all seen celebritiesclimbing Kilimanjaro or watched reality shows about people exploring jungles.I do have mixed feelings about all these people with large amounts of income coming to poor areas just forth

30、ots can copy the way of doing thetask.But they do so unthinkingly,perhaps relying on sensors to try to reduce collision（碰撞）risks,rather thanhaving any understanding of why they are performing the task or where they are within physical space.It meansthey will often make mistakeshitting the object in

31、their way,fbr instance.Hod Lipson and his colleagues are trying to face the challenge.They placed a robot arm in a laboratory whereit was surrounded by four cameras at ground level and one camera above it.These fed video images back to a deepneural（神经的）network,a form of AI,connected to the robot tha

32、t monitored its movement within the space.For 3hours,the robot arm moved randomly and the neural network was fed information about the arm*s mechanicalinputs and watched how it responded by seeing where it moved to in the space.This generated nearly 8,000 datapointsand the team generated an addition

33、al 10,000 through a simulation（模拟）of the robot in a virtual version ofits environment.To test how well the AI had worked,a cloud-like diagram was generated to show where the neural network“thought“the arm should be found as it moved.It was accurate to within 1 percent,meaning if the workspace was 1m

34、etre wide,the system correctly estimated its position to within 1 centimetre.If the neural network is considered tobe part of the robot itself,this suggests the robot has the ability to visualise where it physically is at any givenmoment.“To me,this is the first time in the history of robotics that

35、a robot has been able to create a mental model ofitself,says Lipson.Its a small step,but its a sign of things to come.Learning about the research,Andrew Hundt at the Georgia Institute of Technology says,There is potential forfurther research to lead to useful applications based on this method,but no

36、t self-perception.The computer simplymatches shape and motion patterns that happen to be in the shape of a robot arm that moves.David Cameron at theUniversity of Sheffield,UK,also says that following a specified path to complete a goal is easily achieved byexisting robots.27.Hod Lipsons work focuses

39、.D.To present a science research.DHardly a day goes by without a company telling us in its beautifully crafted advertising how much itcontributes to the environment on our behalf.Flowers grow out of power-station chimneys;SUVs are presented innatural habitats;oil companies use sunny,friendly logos a

40、nd promise cleaner technologies-although,in fact,theyfail to make enough investment in renewable or alternative energy sources.Statistics are made up,and the tiniestecological improvements are overstated in multi-million-dollar advertising campaigns,while in the meantime thegreedy side of the busine

41、ss continues.This is known as greenwashing,which means making things that are not green look green”.The phenomenonhas long existed since the first Earth Day in 1970,when companies spent$300 million advertising themselves asgreen companiesmany times more than the money they actually spent on research

42、 into pollution reduction itself.And the trend continued over the following decades when some of the planefs worst polluters tried to passthemselves off as eco-friendly.As the publics environmental awareness grew,so too did the experience ofcorporate public relations strategies,and advertisers found

43、 ever-more-creative ways to use a green curtain to hidedark motives.Of course,some businesses are genuinely committed to making the world a better,greener place.But when acompany spends more time and money claiming to be“green than actually adopting business practices thatminimize environmental impa

44、ct,it is clear that,for them,environmentalism is little more than a convenientslogan（口 号）.Their message is“buy our products and you will end global warming,improve air quality and savethe oceans”.At best,such greenwashing pushes the fact to its limits;at worst,it helps conceal deception.And what abo

45、ut today s consumers?Few of them are truly well-equipped to make informed decisions aboutwhat is true.Greenwashing is only possible because consumers often believe what they are being told-why elsewould companies do it?More infbnnation and greater awareness are essential.Analysing the tricks used by

46、advertisers should be part of every school curriculum.Non-governmental organisations can spread the word.Consumer groups can punish the greenwashing companies.But it is not enough.Legally enforceable systems mustbe put in place.So what is already being done about planned attempts to pull the wool ov

47、er consumers5 eyes?In the UnitedStates,the Federal Trade Commission is taking action against misleading advertising claims.France has publishedGreen Claims Guidance,stressing that t4an advertisement must avoid conveying a message contrary to the acceptedprinciples of sustainable development”.All of

48、these surely are the heart of the matter:the true impact of advertisingis the promotion of unsustainable lifestyles.And therein lies the real danger to our planet,a danger which cannot beignored any longer.31.What can we learn about greenwashing?A.It is an ecological concept.B.It is a marketing tech
