This year alone, Juliet has used 3D printers, motors and microcontrollers to build the parts needed to construct a robotic dog that she hopes will help those extremely afraid of dogs. She has learned to use technology-enab
9、led woodcutting tools and is at work creating a virtual tour of her school, Laing Middle School in Charleston County, using the drone (无人机) she built in the schools Fab Lab. The Fab Lab gives students a chance to get hands-on experience with the sorts of tools they might find in the workplace. “I re
10、ally have fun doing these things,” says Juliet, “ but I also like that its preparing me to be an engineer.”The Fab Lab is one way the Charleston County School District is trying to build career planning into courses for children at earlier and earlier ages. In the past, students were told whether th
11、ey were college material or not, and schools paid full attention to preparing students for college. Now, school systems are speeding up their career-and-technical programs to more closely connect the skills students acquire in school with workforce needs. Some school districts are pushing the new pr
12、ograms into middle and even elementary schools, convinced that helping students connect what they are learning to careers will not only deepen their engagement but also help them make more informed decisions about their educational paths. Juliet wished that all students took advantage of the opportu
13、nity to explore, imagine and experiment in the Fab Lab. “I try to tell everyone how interesting and fun it is and how helpful it will be in the future,” Juliet said. “Many people, though, just want to play ball in the gym or hang out outside in their free time.”4Why did Juliet Basinger make a roboti

Soon, this te
17、chnology could be used for precision medical sensors attached to the skin, designed to perform health monitoring and disease detection. It would be like having a high-tech medical center at your service. Worn routinely, future wearable electronics could potentially detect possible emerging health pr
18、oblems such as heart disease, cancer-even before obvious signs appear. The device could also do a personalized analysis of the tracked health data while minimizing the need for its wireless transmission (传输). Such a skin-like device is being developed in a project. Leading the project is Sihong Wang
19、, assistant professor at the University of Chicago. This device would need to collect and process a vast amount of data, well above what even the best smartwatches can do today, and it would have to deal with this data speedily with very low power consumption in a very tiny space. To address that ne
20、ed, the team called upon neuromorphic computing (神经形态计算). This AI technology copies operation of the brain by training on past data sets and learning from experience. Its advantages also include compatibility (兼容性) with stretchable material, lower energy consumption and faster speed than other types
21、 of AI. The other major challenge the team faced was integrating the electronics into a skin-like stretchable material. The key material in any electronic device is a semiconductor. In current rigid electronics used in cell phones and computers, this is normally a solid silicon chip. Stretchable ele
22、ctronics require that the semiconductor be a highly flexible material that is still able to conduct electricity. The teams skin-like neuromorphic chip consists of a thin film of a plastic semiconductor combined with stretchable gold nanowire electrodes. Even when stretched to twice its normal size,
23、their device functioned as planned without formation of any breaks. “While still requiring further development on several fronts, our device could one day be a game changer in which everyone can get their health status in a much more effective and frequent way,” said Wang.8What can be inferred about

27、back (反馈), which often involves criticizing past actions and performance, can sometimes be discouraging. However, theres a powerful alternative that has been gaining popularity feedforward. Feedforward is about sharing constructive and forward-looking comments to help individuals and groups move for
28、ward together, building a positive path to collective progress. Constructive feedback has long been a cornerstone of personal development. It helps individuals identify their weaknesses and areas for improvement, but it can sometimes feel like a constant spotlight on ones shortcomings. Feedforward,
29、on the other hand, shifts the focus from past missteps to future possibilities. It is a tool that fosters (培养) a culture of growth, emphasizing what can be done to enhance ones performance and contribute to the overall betterment of a group or organization. Instead of focusing on past mistakes or we
30、aknesses, feedforward encourages people to recognize their strengths and potential, highlighting the possibilities of what they can achieve. This approach not only boosts confidence but also motivates individuals to struggle for excellence. In a world where negativity can often overshadow positivity
31、, the power of feedforward lies in its ability to uplift and inspire people. When applied in group settings, feedforward becomes a powerful tool for building unity and cooperation. Teams and organizations that welcome feedforward form an environment where team members feel valued and supported. By f
32、ocusing on future improvement, teams can collectively work towards their goals, fostering innovation, and achieving better results. Feedforward can also be valuable in building personal relationships. It can be used in families, friendships, and romantic partnerships to encourage personal growth and
33、 strengthen bonds. Feedforward instead of being judgemental increases confidence. By offering constructive and forward-looking comments, you can support your loved ones in their pursuit of happiness and self-improvement. To successfully implement feedforward, it is essential to foster open and hones
34、t communication. Its about providing advice that is specific, practical, and, most importantly, constructive. The emphasis should always be on helping individuals identify their potential and offering suggestions for growth.12How does the author introduce the topic?ABy analyzing a scene.BBy stating
35、a phenomenon.CBy providing an example.DBy making a comparison.13What is the core of feedforward?ADeveloping optimism.BEnhancing interaction.CFocusing on potential.DLearning from experience.14What does the underlined word “implement” in the last paragraph mean?AAsk for.BPick up.CCarry out.DReflect on

It can also help elsewhere in education, as writing skills and art require the hands and eyes to work together. 19 Music is a great way for your child to meet new people and create lasting friendships. If they decide to take up music as an extracurricular (课外的) activity, theyll be bonding with li

43、in his owners front yard. The dogs action underlined the importance of paying attention to the 21 of our companions. The story began when Kobe, owned by Chanell Bell, was 22 digging a sizable hole in the yard. Initially 23 it as typical dog behavior, Bell grew 24 as the hole expanded. 25 that Kobes
