Video from the landing site showed the craft’s single occupant—Lt.Colonel Yang Liwei—waving to a crowd assembled around the capsule as it lay on its side minutes after landing.Chinese media also reported the landing point was just 4.8 kilometers from the targeted touchdown site in Inner Mongolia.Yang was carried away from the spacecraft in a seat and looked a bit wobbly and dazed on state television coverage of the event.Official reports fro m Xinhua say Yang“was confirmed to remain in good health”after his 21-hour stint in orbit.After its launch early Wednesday from the Jiuquan space center aboard a Long March 2F rocket,the Shenzhou 5 spacecraft entered orbit with passenger Yang Liwei, a 38-year old Chinese fighter pilot that found himself thrust into the international spotlight with his selection for the inaugural manned flight.Throughout his historic 21-hour journey, the 5-foot, 6-inch taikonaut—or yuhangyuan—reported no ill effects and no technical problems with the spacecraft were reported.Conversations with the ground control center in Beijing reportedly went as expected as communications was relayed through tracking stations and sea vessels scattered around the world.As expected, She nzhou 5’s entry and service modules were jettisoned from the orbital module as the time neared for the pivotal de-orbit burn to bring the taikonaut back to Earth. Thrusters were then fired to nudge the craft out of orbit and to put it on a trajectory to land in the steppes of Inner Mongolia, about 1000 kilometers from the launch site at Jiuquan.The orbital module remained behind in space to complete its own mission over the next several months In all, the mission lasted approximately 21 hours, 23 minutes from liftoff to touchdown.The historic flight completed 14 orbits of Earth and traveled about 600 000 kilometers.“Yang’s return to land from outer space signifies completion of the first step taken by China to implement its plans for space exploration.More steps are to follow—attempts for space walk, rendezvous and docking of spaceships and setting up of a space lab, ”Xinhua reported Wednesday night.“Sometime from now, up in the space, high up over the Earth, there will be a space station which, like Shenzhou 5 that has just made history, will be designed, built and manned by the Chinese, ”the agency said.Wearable HalfkeyboardIt’s quite interesting to use a pocketable keyboard with a Palm or PPC to write something.I borrowed a Palmone Tungsten T and a Logitech TypeAway Keyboard from a boy yesterday. The Keyboard uses the universal port to connect the palm.It is a Palm Vx on the keyboard:The wearable Halfkeyboard was designed to let you turn your PDA into a wearable computer.Drugs delivered by robots in the bloodA 3 millimetre-long swimming robot constructed by Chinese scientists could eventually be used for drug delivery or to clear arteries in humans.The craft is propelled by an external magnetic field which controls its fins.The fins are made from an alloy that contracts in response to application of the field.The next stage is to build a robot with fins that respond to different magnetic fieldresonance.This would enable an operator to control the fin separately and steer the robot around.The project is at an early stage but in the future remote controlled machines could be used to deliver drugs to a particular part of the body.The watch reminds you’ve forgotten the keysGaetano Borriello, a University of Washington computer scientist has developed a working prototype of a smart swatch system.Like pretty anything called“smart”these days, it works with RFID tags.The wristwatch acts as an interface, driven by a personal server the wearer can carry in a pocket, but which will eventually be a part of the wristwatch itself.Important items are labeled with RFID tags and RFID readers are installed at various locations to read the tags.The UW smart watch system works as follows: an RFID reader senses the tags on, say, your books, relays the data to the personal server in your pocket.The server checks if anything has been forgotten, and if so, it sends a prompt to the wristwatch to alert you.The server also takes into account the last known location of items, your calendar and where you may be going.“This is really part of a larger effort to create an RFID-enabled building, a sort of microcosm of what society would be like if these things take off, ”said Borriello who hopes to have a building-wide system up and running within a year.。

These days，robots are more common than you might think.Consider the Roomba，a robotic vacuum(吸尘器)which cleans floors on its own.“We wanted to make something simple that people could use every day，”says Greiner，cofounder of IRobot，the company that makes the smart vacuum.“And that's what inspired us to build the Roomba.”Some robots like the Roomba are already very common in many US households.IRobot makes everything from the Roomba to robots that someday might become a part of us.“You can have robotics equipped into your body，to get back that arm or leg that you've lost，either in some accident or disease，”says Greiner.Although robots have been developed mainly for military(用的)applications，civilian uses for the technology are growing，according to Michael Toscano，president of the Association for Unmanned(自控的)Vehicles International.“Unmanned systems allow human beings to do their task with an extension of their hands，their eyes and their ears.”“We can put them in the ocean and they'll swim for eight or nine months，collecting data and monitoring ocean pollution，”says Hudson of IRobot.Recently the US Government's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)displayed a “robotic man”．Instead of depending on remotecontrol，DARPA's “robotic man” can actually look at some blocks，find one with a special pattern，and move it to a new location.Mandelbaum，DARPA's project manager，says more challenging tasks lie ahead.Some day，a DARPA robot might find a hidden bomb or help a disabled person select a shirt and button it.To advance the technology，DARPA plans to let members of the pubic write software for the “robotic man”，then sign onto the Internet and watch a model of “robotic man” perform the task.It's one of the ways that robots will help humankind to extend itsreach.【诱思导学】1．The example of the Roomba shows that .2．Do you think that robots will play an important role in thefuture？Why?【答案】 1.civilian uses for the robotic technology are growing2.Yes.Because there may be more and more robots coming into our lifewith the development of science and technology.(answers are different)Period ⅠPreviewing(教师用书独具)●教学目标初步掌握本课文中的词汇，浅层次理解课文，了解相关的背景知识。
