Courage(勇气) is the ability to be brave in different kinds of situations in our life．Here and there, now and then, everyone needs courage to do something well．Courage may make you confident of your success．If you have courage, you will not show fear in face of anything difficult or dangerous．
How can we build up our courage?
Believe that you will be successful．Take chances and know that you have your own talents．Besides, your family and friends are always there for you．
Exercise your courage．It is like a muscle(肌肉)．The more we use it, the stronger our courage will be．
Know that giving up is not a choice．It’s much easier to give up, and it takes courage to say or do what you think is right, even when other people think you are wrong．
Fight to control your fear．Courageous people may still be afraid, but the difference is that they can control their fear．They don’t let it hold them back but use it as a reminder of what they can lose if they don’t go on．
Get courage by reading inspiring( 令人鼓舞的) stories of brave people．Abraham Lincoln is one of the people who you may think of．

In some science fiction movies, evil robots refuse to die, no matter how hard people fight back．
Now science fiction has become science fact．For the first time, scientists have made a robot that can take a beating (挨打) and keep on going．Scientists from Cornell University made t he robot, which looks like a spider with four legs．
Until now, even the most advanced (先进的) robot was almost certain to break down when it was damaged． That is because its computer inside simply doesn’t know how to make the machine work after its shape has changed．
To deal with this problem, the scientists put eight motors (发动机) and two sensors (传感器) that read how the machine is working．They all give signals to the machine’s software．Using this information, the computer can then figure out the machine’s shape at any moment．
The new technology is a big advance in robot-making, scientists say, and it’s far from scary．It may someday help scientists create better artificial (假的) arms and legs and give new freedom to people who lose them．It might also help scientists understand how people and animals figure out their own sense of place in space．
“It has been difficult to design robots that can work well when the environment changes or when it’s damaged,” says Olaf Sporns of Indiana University in US．“With this work, we are nearer to solving this problem．”
1.Why do robots easily break down when they are damaged?
A． They cannot repair themselves．
B． The computer has changed a lot．
C． They have no computers inside．
D． The computer cannot work if the robot changes．

A． do house work for humans
B． keep working after being damaged
C． remember a lot of information

4.How do the sensors in the robot work?

B． They can find out where the damage comes from．
C． They help the computer learn the robot’s condition．
