Traditionally, robots have been hard, made of metal and other rigid material. But a team of scientists at Harvard University in the US has managed to build an 1. (entire) soft robot — the “Octobot”.
2. (describe) in science journal Nature, the “Octobot” could pave the way for 3. (intelligent) robots that could be used in search, rescue and exploration than the traditional ones. “The Octobot is a minimal system which may serve 4. a foundation for a new generation of completely soft, autonomous robots,” the study’s authors wrote.
Researchers 5. (work) on building soft robots for decades. They’ve taken 6. (inspire) from nature, looking to animals from jellyfish to cockroaches, which are often made up of more flexible matter.
However, creating a completely soft robot 7. (remain) a challenge. Even if engineers build a silicone(硅酮)body, 8. is still a grand challenge to construct flexible versions of essential parts, such as a source of power.
“9. soft robotics is still in its early stage, it holds a great promise for several applications, such as search-rescue operations and explorations,” Barbara Mazzolai of Technology, Center for Micro-BioRobotics, wrote in a comment. “Soft robots might also open up new approaches to 10. (improve) wellness and quality of life.”

Anger is a common emotion when we experience, see, hear, and feel someone or something is not right or contrary to our views. But people easy to get angry should learn about anger management to control their anger. 1.
Stay away for a while and give yourself time to think. When you feel someone did something wrong, don’t respond to the situation immediately. 2. If necessary, walk away from the source of your problem. After you feel relaxed, face it.
3. It is often that people get angry because they didn’t evaluate the problem deeper. Maybe they haven’t realized the real cause of the problem. For example, you get mad with your boyfriend because he is late to pick you up. In that case, instead of judging him for being irresponsible, ask him “Why are you so late?” The reason may be that he had to take care of something important before. If you can get to the root of your problem and overcome it, you won’t be an ill-tempered person.
Think through your responses and the consequences. There are countless people who feel regretful because they aren’t able to control their temper. Usually, persons who can’t control their temper, tend to hurt others’ feelings, and even harm others physically. 4. If you have already shown your anger excessively, apologize sincerely, and tell your true purpose.
Be mature in thought and action. People who are closely associated with anger, usually have a serious problem with their maturity. Teenagers tend to be more explosive in emotions because they are not yet mature in thinking and don’t have a stable emotion. But that doesn’t mean all adults are mature people. 5. When you’ve finished reading this article, whether you are teenagers or adults, try to always think before you act.
A. Do your favourite activity.
B. Get to the root of your problem.
C. Think again the consequences of your anger.
D. Anger on its own does not offer us a solution.
E. There are some general tips to control our anger.
F. Age levels are not always directly related to the level of maturity,
G. Instead, take some time to think, calm yourself, and take a deep breath.
It started during a yoga class. She felt a strange pull on her neck, a feeling completely foreign to her. Her friend suggested she, rush to the emergency room. It turned out that she was having a heart attack.
She didn’t share similar symptoms with someone who was likely to have a heart attack. She exercised, watched her plate and did not smoke. But on reviewing her medical history, I found that her cholesterol （胆固醇）level was sky-high. She had been prescribed a cholesterol-lowering statin medication, but she never picked up the prescription because of the scary things she had read about statins on the Internet. She was the victim of fake medical news.
While misinformation has been the object of great attention in politics, medical misinformation might lead to an increase in deaths. As is true with fake news in general, medical lies tend to spread further than truths on the Internet----- and they have very real bad consequences.
False medical information can also lead to patients experiencing greater side effects through the “nocebo effect （无安慰剂效应）Sometimes patients benefit from an intervention （干预）simply because they believe they will — that’s the placebo effect （安慰剂效应）.The nocebo effect is the opposite. Patients can experience harmful effects because they anticipate them. This is very true of statins. In blinded trials, patients who get statins are no more likely to report feeling muscle aches than patients who get a placebo. Yet, in clinical practice, according to one study, almost a fifth of patients taking statins report side effects, leading many to discontinue the drugs.
What else is on the fake news hit list? As always, vaccines （疫苗）.False concerns that the vaccine may cause side effects have greatly reduced coverage rates.
Cancer is another big target for pushers of medical misinformation — many of whom refuse alternative therapies. “Though most people think cancer tumors are bad, they’re actually the way your body attempts to contain the harmful cells,”, one fake news story reads. It warns that prescription medications lead to the uncontrolled cell mutations （变异）.
Silicon Valley needs to face this problem. I am not a free-speech lawyer, but when human health is at risk, perhaps search engines, social media platforms and websites should be held responsible for promoting or hosting fake information. Meanwhile, journalists should do a better job of spreading accurate information.

2.According to the passage, the placebo effect functions because patients_______.
