Now she i
9、s about to begin her freshman year at the University of California, planning to become a professor.Born and raised in San Diegos City Heights neighbourhood, Deka is the daughter of a Somali refugee couple. While some might say Dekas success happened in spite of her background, she would say differen

12、se. I felt like the whole world was waiting for me to mess up.”Dekas efforts paid off. The summer before her senior year of high school, she was accepted to the American Chemical Society Project SEED Programme. “She brought both enthusiasm and focus,” Botham, a researcher at this research institute,

17、havior to meet changing conditions, according to new research.For their experiment, researchers from the University of Toulouse and the University of Arizona focused on Argentine ants, which are only 2-3 millimeters long and frequently move from colony (栖息地) to colony depending on how far food is. T
18、apping into the ants talent for fast commutes (通勤), the researchers constructed bridges between their colonies. The bridges varied in width from a fifth to three-quarters of an inch.Then the researchers sat back and monitored the traffic. To their surprise, even when those narrower bridges were near
19、ly overloaded, there were no 20-ant pile-ups. And traffic remained steady regardless of how crowed the bridges were because ants could adjust to the flow of road conditions.“When crowding on the path increased, ants assessed it locally and adjusted their speed accordingly to avoid any interruption o
20、f traffic flow,” the researchers said. “Moreover, ants avoided entering a crowded path and made sure the bridge was never overloaded.”The lesson for humans? The traffic problem mostly lies in our loss of the quality that the ants have. Youve probably noticed it on your own commute to work. Driving i

But some impatient drivers still constantly move between lanes.“Traffic jams are common in human society where some people are focusing on their own personal objectives,” the rese
22、archers said. “In contrast, ants share a common goal: the survival of the colony, thus theyre expected to act cooperatively to get food.”The research also suggests that the ever-widening of highways may never free us from traffic jams. As long as we drive along with our own agendas, no matter how ma

It leaves less room for personal choices and forces us to take a page from the driving handbook of ants.8. What did the researchers do to the ants in the experiment?A. They fed them with muc

However, if Israel-based company Skyline Technologies has its way, the dangerous
28、chore may soon be taken care of by Ozmo, an intelligent window cleaning robot.“As a society, weve become too comfortable watching people hanging off the sides of 30-story buildings,” says Yaron Schwarez, co-founder and CEO of Skyline Robotics. “No salary could justify allowing people to put their li
29、ves in the hands of a system of ropes.”Much like humans, Ozmo is placed on platforms suspended from the buildings and uses its arms and brushes to clean the dirt on the glass panes. A 3D map of the buildings surface programmed into its system allows the robot to skillfully handle obstacles as it mov

Computer vision and touch sensors enable it to move out of the way in case of unexpected events, such as the sudden opening of a window.Unlike current window washers, the robot cleaner does not require soap to clean the glass. Instead, it uses distilled water (蒸馏水) and
31、a process called dirt absorption to do the job. Schwarez explains, “We use pure water to absorb and remove the salts, the minerals, the oils, and the dirt from the building. We are environmentally-friendly.”Ozmo is also expected to be much more efficient than humans. While it currently takes three c
32、leaners 480 hours each to clean the windows of a 40-story glass building, the robot will single-handedly complete the task in just 80 hours. However, unlike other robots, Ozmo will not replace human workers. It will only make their jobs safer by lifting them to the role of supervisors, who will be r
