Do you like running enough to make it a habit? Tierney Wolfgram does; she has made
running a lifelong career and isn't stopping.
In February, the 16-year-old from a high school,US, competed at the 2020 US Olympic
Trials, She finished the marathon (42. 195 km) with a time of 2:42' 47"as the youngest competitor
in the race and ranked 76th out of 390 runners. However, the cross- country season was postponed
to winter because of the COVID-19. So she jumped at the opportunity to train for another race—
the Parkway Marathon in California. In November, Wolfgram broke the Women’s American
Junior marathon record with her time of 2:31'49". The old record was 2:34'32", which had stood
since 1984.
“I'm completely stunned, ” said Wolfgram's coach. “I knew she was going to break it, but she
really showed out!”
During the run, Wolfgram once hit a wall pretty hard, but she overcame it to finish. “I guess I
can say I gave it my all, ” she told Runner's World.“ When I finished, all I was thinking was I felt
super happy,”Wolf-gram said.This was only her third marathon. In 2018 ,when Wolfgram was 15
years old, she ran her first marathon just because she wanted to see if she had the ability to do it.
“I believed that I would get faster as the distances got longer... I'm still glad that I did it.”
When preparing for that first marathon, she ran up to 120 miles per week. Although her
parents didn't have any background in running, they helped Wolfgram train.At first, her dad would
take her out in the morning and run about 13 miles. The distance would gradually increase each
day. On top of her runs in the morning, she would do cross-country practice after school.
Now Wolfgram will consider attending the Olympics Games in 2024 after it's scheduled.

Picture a pigeon resting on a telephone wire.Ready for takeoff, it raises its wings, springs into
the
air and flies away. This series of actions are so common that you probably do not pay much
attention to it. But University of Manchester biomechanical(生物力学）engineer
BenParslew does.He is trying
to design robots that can jump and take off like birds.
Most traditional robots roll around on wheels, constraining mobility. “There is a need for
more intelligent robots that can jump over the thing that is in their way,”
Parslew says. To design such a
machine, he turned to nature. “Birds are really good jumpers,” he notes.
The trouble is, when birds start to take off, they’ll bend so far forward that, according to the r
ulesof physics,they should tip over and fall onto their beaks (鸟喙).
Yet that does not happen.Parslew and
his team used computer
modeling to discover how birds avoid this. They discovered that birds turned
their bodies slightly backward while ready to jump.
Parslewthinks engineers can use this information to design robots that can not only jump well
but also send themselves into the air more efficiently. Most human-engineered flying machines
requireeither long runways or flat surfaces for takeoff. Either way , they take a while to overcome
gravity and gain altitude.
Universityof Southern California biomechanist MichaelHabib,who was not involved in the
study, says springsenable more rapid speed than wheels do. And many animals are masters of
springs. “A house cat will beat a
Lamborghini off the line for the first 100 feet,” he says. While the
car has to speed up, the cat jumps itself into a run. The same movement explains how birds start
flight.
“If you can understand how that works,”Habib adds, “you can build a robot that's good at run
ning around
and good at flying, and it will also be good at taking offsuddenly in all kinds of conditions
and landing quickly on
a dime. ” Parslew is now designing such a robot, as an alternative to wheeled
plane for exploring other planets.
8. Why do birds' takeoff actions catch Ben Parslew's attention?
A. Because he is fond ofwild animals.
B. Because he wants to design robots that can jump and take off like birds.
C. Because he is a biomechanical engineer.
D. Because he is curious about nature.
9. The underlined word “constraining” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to“_________ ”
A. improving B. robbing C. continuing D. limiting
10. What will happen when birds start to take off?
A.They will jump first before taking off.
B. They will tip over and fall onto their beaks.
C. They will make their bodies slightly backward.
D. It will take birds a while to overcome gravity and fly to the sky.
11. What is the meaning of researching birds' takeoff?
A. Making robot jump and take off like birds.B. Improving the ability of a plane.
C. Inventing a robot which can speed up quickly.D. Making robots fly more efficiently.
D
If all goes well, a balloon will soon rise from SpaceCenter in Sweden. It will float high into
