Drucker shaped many top managers career. Management by objectives was one of his primary business theories.In 2002, Druck
25、er received the highest civilian honor in the U.S.-the Medal of Freedom. He died in 2005 at age 95.

32、The other achievements of Drucker.BThe business goals of smart people.CThe exact meanings of SMART goals.DThe applications of Druckers theories.A living robot has been created out of frog skin cells. Xenobots, named after the frog species Xenopus laevis that the cells come from, were first described
33、 last year. Now the team behind the robots has improved their design and demonstrated new capabilities.To create the xenobots, Michael Levin at Tufts University in Massachusetts and his colleagues obtained tissue from 24-hour-old frog embryos after very small physical operation. Where the previous v
34、ersion relied on the contraction of heart muscle cells to move them forward by pushing off surfaces, these new xenobots swim around faster. They also live between three and seven days longer than their previous generation, which only lasted about seven days, and have the ability to sense their surro
35、undings to some extent, turning red when exposed to blue light.“The fundamental finding here is that when you free skin cells from their normal context, and you give them a chance to build other things than what they normally build,” says Levin. “To me, one of the most exciting things here is that t
36、hey are plastic. This idea that even normal cells, not genetically modified, are in fact capable of building something completely different.”Because they are created from cells, the xenobots eventually break apart and are totally biodegradable, says team member Douglas Blackiston, also at Tufts Univ
37、ersity. He therefore hopes that they can be used for biomedical and environmental applications.Previous attempts at creating living robots, such as a wirelessly controlled cockroach, have involved dealing with live animals, raising ethical concerns. Xenobots differ from these because they are made e
38、ntirely of living cells. “The approach here is maybe ethically the least problematic because everything starts with cells. They have no neurons, so its not an animal,” says Auke ljspeert at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology at Lausanne, who wasnt involved in the research. “Its really cells,
39、so I find it maybe the cleanest way.32How were the new xenobots created?ABy making use of frog embryos.BBy relying on heart muscle cells.CBy sensing similar surroundings.DBy exposing them to blue light.33Which has the similar meaning to the underlined word “plastic” in Paragraph 3?AFragile.BStable.C
40、Flexible.DActive.34What can be inferred from Douglas Blackistons words?AThe xenobots cant break down easily.BThe xenobots need to be further perfected.CThe xenobots can be applied in other fields.DThe xenobots have already been widely used.35What can we learn from the last paragraph?AThe new approac
41、h starts with some neurons.BXenobots have raised least ethical concerns.CThe wireless controlled cockroach is a failure.DPrevious living robots involve few living animals.五、七选五Improving your family life can help make your family members closer and prevent conflicts from getting in the way of everyon
