The strangeness of living in space is apparent from the moment we sleep. Due to the near absence of gravity in space, we have to attach ourselves so that we don't float around. We usually sleep in private quarters, which are more like large upboards, or in sleeping bags attached to the walls or the ceiling.

Appreciation
2. What are the functions of the three poems quoted in this transcript? •The first example (lines from “Sweet and Low” by Alfred Tennyson) sounds great with strong rhythm and it is written in rhyme. The lecturer uses it to support the tip of “follow your ears”. The second example (lines from “Caged Bird” by Maya Angelou) includes several images. By using it, the lecturer suggests paying attention to images in poems when reading a poem. The third example (lines from “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost) is not easy to understand, which is suitable as an example to support the tip of “be patient when having trouble in understanding a poem.”

Unite4 Electronic Information(robots)Remote-controlled Robot Surrogate Could Attend Your Next Meeting. for You(译文见下端)1It may look like a floor lamp mounted on a vacuum claener , but Anybots Inc.'s new QB is actually the latest in surrogate robotics . QB is designed to serve as your eyes ,ears and voice when you can't be there in person ,Even better , it's mobile , rolls around on two wheels like Rosie and can be navigated remotely via the Web and a Wi-Fi connection .2Telecommuting workers and traveling executives alike could us QB (so named because it is the next in line after the company's prototype QB bot) as a virtual extension of themselves. allowing them to attend meetings , tour facilities or perform walk-throughs of real estate properties , all while controlling the robot from a computer keyboard.3Anybots formally unveiled the remotely controlled robot on Tuesday and plans to start selling QBs by the end of the year .A five-megapixel vedio camera serves as one eye, whlie the other is a laser pointer. A speaker on the crown of QB's head gives it a mouthpiece, a touch-screen monitor on on its forehead enables software maintenance and other input , and a ring of protective rubber around its head makes it look a bit like Olivia Newton-John circa 1981.4Along with the wheels,a self-balancing system and a motor with a top speed of five kilometers per our make the robot mobile . The two-wheel-as opposed to a tricycle or quad-design makes it more maneuverable in tight spaces and helps keep its weight down to about 16 kilograms . The area between the QB's head and base consists of a length of telescoping plastic that can be adjusted to let the QB stand as tall as 175 centimeters or as short as 81 centimeter.5Although it's unclear if the capacity for remote operation. willUS$15,000 Price tag .Anybots believe its technology will appeal to a new generation of workers who expect to be in contact at all times and in all places .The QB is designed to enable this connectivity without sacrificing “presence”,says Bob Christopher,president and chief operating officer of Anybots ,based in Moutain View,Calif . Bandwidth speed and vedio quality continue to improve , but they can’t replace being there , he adds .A test-drive reveals valuable Wi-Fi lesson6 To see how this might work in practice , Scientific American test-drove (from our editorial offices in New York) a QB located at Anybots’s facility in California . Our mossion was to drive across the building’s lobby and ask a second QB (remotely controlled by an Anybots employee) where we could find Erin Rapacki , who does product development for the company , and then proceed to Erin’s location. The session began with logging on to a website set up by Anybots and selecting the IP address of the QB we were to inhabit.7 Once our robot “woke up” and connected to Anybots’s local Wi-Fi network, we used the arrow keys on our keyboard to navigate the QB across the lobby. The controls take some getting used to. Particularly because rugs and other materials on the floor may prevent the Qb from travelling a completely straight line . We easily found the other QB but had difficulty aligning our camera so that we were staring directly into the other QB’s camera. This wasn’t necessary , because we could hearthe person controlling the other QB loud and clear through the microphone on our robot. Using the arrow keys,we were able to swivel our QB to the left and follow the relatively basic directions we had been given to our destination.8 With a bit more practice, navigation would have been smoother, THE QB features a buit-in lidar(light detection and ranging) system that warns the robot when it is getting too close to an object and slows the robot down to avoid(or at least reduce the impact of) a collision. The QB also has a camera located on the bottom of its “”chin” that points down at its wheels so you can see whether you’re about to drive over a lower obstacle(such as someone’s foot).9 The QB’s laser-pointer eye turned out to be useful when greeting people we encountered, including Anybots founder and CEO Trevor Blackwell, who accepted a laser beam in the palm of his hand in lieu of a handshake (a relief ,since the QB has no hands).10 By the time we were ready to leave , we were able to drive our QB back to the Anybots lobby and out the front door. Just past the building’s threshold, we learned a valuable lesson in surrogate navigation: never drive outside the range of your Wi-Fi network. A dropped connection means no cameras and no control over the robot’s navigation, which was especially unfortunate in our case because we were approaching the top of a ramp down to the parking lot when we lost the signal.11 Danger,Will Robinson.Unit4译文今后远程控制的代理机器人可以为您参加的会议它可能看起来像装在一个真空吸尘器落地灯,但实际上它是Anybots公司最新的代理机器人的QB。

3.Viking
The term Viking (fromOld Norsevíkingr) is customarily used to refer to theNorse(Scandinavian)explorers,warriors,merchants, andpirateswho raided, traded, explored and settled in wide areas ofEuropeand theNorth Atlanticislands from the late 8th to the mid-11th century. TheseNorsemenused their famedlongshipsto travel as far east asConstantinopleand theVolga RiverinRussia, and as far west asIceland,Greenland, andNewfoundland, and as far south asAl Andalus. This period of Viking expansion – known as theViking Age– forms a major part of themedievalhistory ofScandinavia,Britain,Irelandand the rest ofEuropein general.
2.Beagle
Beagle 2was an unsuccessfulBritishlanding spacecraft that formed part of theEuropean Space Agency's 2003Mars Expressmission. It is not known for certain whether the lander reached the Martian surface; all contact with it was lost upon its separation from the Mars Express six days before its scheduled entry into the atmosphere. It may have missed Mars altogether, skipped off the atmosphere and entered an orbit around the sun, or burned up during its descent. If it reached the surface, it may have hit too hard or else failed to contact Earth due to a fault. TheBeagle 2 is named after theHMS Beaglewhich twice carriedCharles Darwinduring expeditions which would later lead to thetheory of evolution.HMS Beaglewas the ship that tookDarwinon his voyage around the world in the 1830s and led to our knowledge about life on Earth making a real quantum leap. It is hoped that Beagle 2 will do the same thing for life on Mars.

1.Mars Expressห้องสมุดไป่ตู้
Mars Express is aspace explorationmission being conducted by theEuropean Space Agency(ESA). The Mars Express mission is exploring the planetMars, and is the first planetary mission attempted by the agency. "Express" originally referred to the speed and efficiency with which thespacecraftwas designed and built. However "Express" also describes the spacecraft's relatively short interplanetary voyage, a result of being launched when the orbits of Earth and Mars brought them closer than they had been in about 60,000 years.

In addition to scientific objectives, the Mars Pathfinder mission was also a "proof-of-concept" for various technologies, such asairbag-mediated touchdown and automated obstacle avoidance, both later exploited by theMars Exploration Rovers. The Mars Pathfinder was also remarkable for its extremely low price relative to other unmanned space missions to Mars. Originally, the mission was conceived as the first of theMars Environmental Survey(MESUR) program.
Launched on December 4, 1996 byNASAaboard aDelta IIbooster a month after theMars Global Surveyorwas launched, it landed on July 4, 1997 onMars'Ares Vallis, in a region calledChryse Planitiain theOxia Palus quadrangle. Thelanderthen opened, exposing the rover which conducted many experiments on the Martian surface.
4.Pathfinder:a space exploration probe
TheMars Pathfinder(MESUR Pathfinder), later renamed theCarl Sagan Memorial Station, is an American spacecraft that landed the firstroving probedeployed on another planet. It consisted of alanderand a lightweight (10.6 kilograms/23 pounds) wheeledroboticrover namedSojourner.
This mission, besides being the first of a series of missions to Mars that included rovers (robotic exploration vehicles), was the most important since theVikingslanded on the red planet in 1976. Although theSoviet Unionsuccessfully sent rovers to the Moon as part of theLunokhod programin the 1970s, its two attempts to send rovers in itsMars probe programfailed.
Mars Express consists of two parts, the Mars Express Orbiter and theBeagle 2, alanderdesigned to performexobiologyand geochemistry research. Although the lander failed to land safely on the Martian surface, the Orbiter has been successfully performing scientific measurements since early 2004, namely, high-resolution imaging and mineralogical mapping of the surface, radar sounding of the subsurface structure down to the permafrost, precise determination of the atmospheric circulation and composition, and study of the interaction of theatmospherewith theinterplanetary medium.
