20、xtra cash, and we were getting further and further into debt. These were tough times, but each failure brought me closer to solving the problem.In the early 1980s, I started trying to get licensing agreements for my technology. The reality was very different, however. The major vacuum makers had bui
21、lt a business model based on the profits from bags and filters (滤网). No one would license my idea, not because it was a bad one, but because it was bad for business. But soon after, the companies that I had talked with started making machines like mine. I had to fight legal battles on both sides of
22、the Atlantic to protect the patents on my vacuum cleaner. I was still in financial difficulties until 1993, when my bank manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend me $l million.

27、r feathers or moving them closer together. Those adjustments allow birds to cut through the sky more flexibly than rigid drones (无人机). Now, using new insights (深刻见解) into exactly how pigeons joints control the spread of their wing feathers, researchers have built a robotic pigeon. This research pave
28、s the way for creating more light aircraft, says Dario Floreano, a roboticist in Switzerland not involved in the work.“Whats really cool about this robot is that you can make adjustments in a robotic wing that you could never do when studying flight in a bird”, says David Lentink, an engineer and bi
29、ologist at Stanford University. A controllable robotic pigeon solves that problem. In flight tests, Lentins team observed that bending only the fingers of one wing eased the robot into a banked turn (倾斜转弯) offering the first evidence that birds may sometimes use just their fingers to direct in fligh
30、t. In a second study, Lentinks group used their robotic wing design to confirm another insight into bird flight: how gaps are prevented from forming between feathers on extended wings.This is the best set of robotic wings yet for testing how birds adjust their flight feathers to move through the air
31、, says Tyson Hedrick, a biomechanist. “But theres plenty of room for improvement.

Clearly, social media isnt all bad.People are in
36、creasingly suspecting that therere potential problems of social media. Things like cyberbullying (网上欺凌) , screen addiction, and being exposed to endless filtered images (美颜）that make it impossible not to make comparisons between yourself and others often make the news. In July, a big study came out
37、in the journal JAMA titled “Association of Screen Time and Depression in Adolescence.” This big headline seems to confirm what a lot of people have been saying screen time is horrible for young people.The study followed over 3,800 adolescents over four years as part of a drug and alcohol prevention
38、program. Part of what the investigators measured was the teens amount of screen time, including time spent on social media, as well as their levels of depression symptoms. One of their main findings was that higher amounts of social media use were associated with higher levels of depression. That wa
