An injured hiker was rescued earlier this month after a train passenger spotted her from the window. She was
crazily waving on the other side of a river, having just spent two days trapped in the wilderness with a broken leg.
The rider told the train crew, who then reported it to the train inspector, Henry Smith, who was in a motor car
behind them. Henry was able to stop and communicate with the woman on the opposite bank of the river, which
was freezing cold and moving quickly.
The hiker, a woman in her twenties, had been missing for two days. She said she’d intended to go on a day
hike, but ended up falling 90 feet down a cliff face while trying to take pictures. She reportedly told rescuers that
she lost consciousness for an unknown amount of time. Despite a badly broken leg, she struggled to pull herself to
the bank of the river to try to flag down trains. She had no emergency supplies with her, or suitable clothing to
spend the night outdoors. There had been a cold attack while the woman was trapped in the wilderness. The hiker
described spending daylight hours trying to get the attention of passing trains and, at night, would roll herself into a
nearby cliff face in an attempt to stay warm.
Henry called to request help for search and rescue. The operator who received the emergency call said the
hiker’s family had been looking for her. While they were waiting for the rescue team, Nick and Kylah, an engineer
and a fireman on the next train passing by the location, came to help. 327 passengers on the train waited on the
track as they crossed the river to examine the woman’s injuries and bring emergency supplies, blankets and a radio
for communication. Eventually, a helicopter was sent to locate and rescue the hiker and she was transported safely
to the hospital.
4. Who first noticed the injured hiker?
A. A train rider. B. Henry Smith. C. The train crew. D. Nick and Kylah.
5. What do we know about the woman hiker?
A. She fell down the cliff face accidentally.
B. She spent day and night waving for help.
C. She had planned a two-day hike schedule.
D. She always stayed conscious in the wilderness.
6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The hiker’s family had been against her going hiking.
B. Henry sent a helicopter to locate and rescue the hiker.
C. Nick and Kylah were sent by the police to the rescue.
D. People on the next train also contributed to the rescue work.
7. Which of following words best describe the hiker?
A. Energetic and generous. B. Responsible and admirable.
C. Perseverant and humorous. D. Adaptable and strong-willed.
C
Robots can be programmed to move a car and even perform some operations. However, when it comes to
picking up something that they have not touched before, such as an egg, they often fail. Now, engineers have
invented an artificial fingertip (指尖) which breaks that limitation. It enables machines to sense objects as a human
fingertip does.
Engineers have been working hard to make robots flexible and sensitive. When researchers from a university
began designing an artificial fingertip in 2009, they used human skin as a guide. Their first fingertip was about the
size of a coke can. By 2018, 3D printing made it about the size of an adult's big toe, with the multi-layered structure
like human skin.
The latest breakthrough is called TacTip. Scientists include artificial nerve networks into the fingertip, which
enables a robot to quickly process what it's sensing and act accordingly like a real finger.
“A lot of our sense of touch is decided by our skin,” says professor Benjamin, leader of the research team. In
our fingertips, nerve endings will deform when the skin touches an object and then sends the signals to the brain
about what's happening. Similarly, the nerve networks of TacTip pick up and translate those signals into the
fingertip's actions, telling robots to handle objects of all shapes and sizes without programming, according to
Benjamin.
Some scientists doubt whether TacTip is only just skin-like. The signals from the artificial and human
fingertips are not quite the same, as the signals in real skin are more intense. Other scientists think highly of this
breakthrough. “At least it helps clarify how human touch works and is a necessary step to improve robotic
touch,”says professor Smith, a material scientist.
8. Why does the writer mention“an egg”in Paragraph 1?
A. To find a solution for engineers.
