文章内容 | 文章大致内容如下: What has fins like a whale, skin like a lizard, and eyes like a moth? The future of engineering. Andrew Parker, an evolutionary biologist, knelt in the baking red sand of the Australian outback just south of Alice Springs and eased the right kind leg of a thorny devil into a dish of water. “Its back is completely drenched!” Sure enough, after 30 seconds, water from the dish had wicked up the lizard’s leg and was glistening all over its prickly hide. In a few seconds more the water reached its mouth, and the lizard began to smack its jaws with evident satisfaction. It was, in essence, drinking through its foot. Given more time, the thorny devil can perform this same conjuring trick on a patch of damp sand---a vital competitive advantage in the desert. Parker had come here to discover precisely how it does this, not from purely biological interest, but with a concrete purpose in mind: to make a thorny-devil-inspired device that will help people collect lifesaving water in the desert. “The water’s spreading out incredibly fast!” he said, as drops from his eyedropper fell onto the lizard’s back and vanished, like magic. “Its skin is far more hydrophobic than I thought. There may well be hidden capillaries, channeling the water into the mouth.” 本文讲仿生学;文章先是对仿生学做一个definition,之后讲如何通过仿生技术研发机器人;文章讲述通过lizard爪子上的毛可以增大墙面摩擦力;用高科技材料做四肢,同时嵌入电脑芯片,最后讲到其用途,政府希望用来做反恐,设计者却说最好用来作为lifesaving role. | ||

文章内容 | 文章主要讲符号对儿童教育的研究。通过不同的实验,研究不同年龄段的儿童对图片和食物的认知情况;不同年龄段小孩对图片和空间与现实生活的联系,引申出教学用具其实用处不大。 文章第一段讲到一个实验,指出二到三岁小孩的表现,三岁好于二岁的表现;同时又做一个实验关于几个月大的小孩根据模型房间里的位置找到真实房间里的玩具,接着给另一个年龄段的小孩玩可以坐进去的玩具车,同时也给他们小模型车试坐,得出结论他们在很多地方表现都不不成功,然后做数学实验,讲用道具教学比直接在纸上更难让学生理解,时间也三倍于非道具教学时间;最后用3-D电子书会让小孩分心,建议还是使用普通的2-D书籍。 | ||
