9、to Christine Abrams.Christine got to wear a blue leotard and a feathery skirt that drifted out like a cloud every time she twirled.And she got to do a dance onstage all by herself.The snowflakes just had to run and spin to look like a snowstorm.I sighed.“I dont like our dance.And no one would notice

10、 if I wasnt there.There are so many of us.”“I would notice.So would your parents.”As Christine walked toward us,Grandma paused and smiled at her.“What a beautiful costume!” Christine glided away,her skirt waving behind her.I hung my head.Grandma took my hand.“Whats bothering my Avery?”“And you wont

11、be able to tell me apart from the other snowflakes,” I whispered.Grandma was about to speak.Then something outside the window caught her eye.She grabbed my hand and my coat and pulled me out of the dressing room and through the doors to the outside.It was snowing.Grandma held her breath and I sudden

12、ly thought of something.“Grandma,have you ever seen snow before?”“No,moopuna.In Hawaii,it snows only on the very tops of mountains.”I had seen snow lots of times,but now I tried to see it differently.Like it was new.I saw snowflakes twisting through the air in different directions,sparkling and shin

19、re powered by air and are controlled by electronic circuits.But this approach requires complex components like circuit boards,valves (阀门) and pumpsoften outside the robots body.These components,which make up the robots brain and nervous system,are typically large and expensive.By contrast,the UC San

20、 Diego robot is controlled by a lightweight,low-cost system of air-powered circuits,made up of tubes and soft valves,on board the robot itself.The robot can walk on command or in response to signals it senses from the environment.“With our approach,you could make a very complex robotic brain,” said

21、Tolley,the studys senior author.“Our focus here was to make the simplest air-powered nervous system needed to control walking.”In the future,researchers want to improve the robots ways to walk so it can walk on natural fields and uneven surfaces.This would allow the robot to navigate over a variety

22、of obstacles (障碍).This would require a more complicated network of sensors and as a result a more complex air-powered system.The team will also look at how the technology could be used to create robots,which are in part controlled by air-powered circuits for some functions,such as walking.8.What is
