完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）

Our planet isn't in very good shape right now. The air is 31 . The ocean is polluted. The problem we’re facing is really  32 . It may seem like there’s so much we need to do，to make things right. And that’s the  33  . We don’t need to do more.  34  we need to do less.

Let’s take a look at some of the  35  we can use the power of LESS to save the planet.

Driving less，walking more. Not only will you be saving the environment，you’ll be saving your  36 as well.

    Wanting less，appreciating more. Instead of wanting a big home you can’t afford，maybe you should live in a smaller home in a  37  expensive area.

    Talking less，listening more. We usually spend most of our time  38  . And actually you would be

 39  how much people never really hear each other at all. Think about how your life can be improved by  40  people better.

    Spend more  41  being mindful. We often  42  a lot of time trying to do too many things 43 . We try to print a report and  44  on the phone at the same time. Doing this we run the  45  of printing the wrong pages and saying the wrong thing.

Buy less things. The more things we  46 ，the more resources we take from the planet. The more we buy，the larger that  47  becomes. Buying new things isn’t really a bad thing.  48  is our desire to buy the newest and greatest each year or every few months that is dangerous

    You’ve see news reports about people who need help after a natural disaster or animals in need. Or perhaps you've watched TV programs about how lonely older people can get.

So what can you do about any of those things? The answer: You can volunteer. Volunteering gives you an opportunity to change people's lives， including your own. Helping others in need is such an important part of the American way of life that many high schools require their students to spend a certain number of hours volunteering in order to graduate.

Volunteering isn't like school: Instead of having the choices made for you about where to go and what subjects to learn，you can choose what really interests you and who (or what) is most deserving of your time.

    If you like animals， help out at a local animal shelter. Most shelters depend on volunteers to keep the cats and dogs happy and well exercised.

    If you have a friend or who has or had a medical problem(like cancer，HIV，for example)， you might be inspired to donate your time to help an organization that raises money for research， delivers meals，or offers other help to people with the illness.

    If you like children，there are lots of volunteering opportunities--from being a Big Brother or Big Sister to helping out in an after-school sports program.

    You also can: serve food at a homeless shelter; take part in a park cleanup day.

    And if you have more than one thing you love，you can combine the two. For example，if you love kids and are great at arts and crafts(工艺)， visit your local children's hospital and offer to lead art activities for young patients.

    Liu Jiaoyang，16，carefully winds a bobbin(绕线筒) with thread， places it on her sewing machine and then presses her foot down to begin sewing. While she's doing this，she pretends to guide cloth through the machine.

    Each Tuesday afternoon，after the bell rings for the fourth period， Liu becomes a fashion designer. At the same time，the rest of the students at the High School Attached to Yunnan Normal University in Kunming are also having classes a little bit different from the usual ones. Some students dance，others create robots，and still others review films. These are just a few of the 28 elective courses the school began to offer last month. “The fashion design class has become the bright point of my week. I learn how to choose color1s and cloth as well as sewing and sketching(素描) skills. It's all helping me to realize the dream of becoming a fashion designer I've had since I was a little girl,” Liu said.

    Design is Liu’ s passion，but for other students the electives are more an opportunity to take a fun course that relieves the pressures of schoolwork. Some students，for example，are learning how to play bridge.

    Chen Xiejiao，15，is one of them. “Many people think that playing a card game like this in class is a waste of time. But in fact，bridge is a very challenging game that helps develop memory and math skills,” she said.

    Li Ke，15， is studying robotics. “I hope to have built and designed my own robot by the end of the sem

Copenhagen，one of the world's most bicycle-friendly cities， has begun turning its network of cycle paths into bike highways in an effort to push more commuters to leave their cars at home.

Considered one of Europe's two“bicycle capitals”along with Amsterdam. Copenhagen counts more bicycles than people and cycling is so popular that its bike paths can become crowded.

The creation of bike highways“comes right on time”， says Danish Cyclist Federation spokesman Frits Bredal.“Copenhagen's roads are overloaded with people who want to ride their bicycles in all kinds of weather.”

If in the 1960s Danes viewed the car as the symbol of freedom，the bicycle has replaced that role today. “It's a mode of transportation used by all social classes，even politicians ride bikes，”Bredal says.

It is on crowded Noerrebrogad—the busiest bicycle street in Europe，according to the cyclist association—that city planners have decided to build the first of Copenhagen’s environmentally friendly boulevards(林荫大道). The jammed bike paths will be widened up to four meters on either side of the road，which will itself be reserved for buses only.

The idea is to make Noerrebrogade“Europe’s great cycling street”，says Andreas Roehl，the Copenhagen municipality's(市政当局) bicycle program manager who is also known as “Mr. Bike”. But Roehl is not content with making life easier for Copenhagen’s inner-city cyclists: He wants to get suburbanites(郊区居民)out of their cars and onto two wheels as well.

His goal is to hike the percentage of suburban commuters cycling to and from the city from the 37% it is today to more than 50% by 2015. Within the city，55% of all commuters already travel by bike，

Scientists have long had it in their mind to make a robot lizard(蜥蜴). They began with finding out why a lizard can hang on a wall. They noticed the lizard's toes were unique: They have suckers(吸盘)， which enable them to hang on walls. They， therefore， made a robot with suckers on its hands and feet.

The robot could hang on the wall but fell off when crawling. So, they went on researching. 6 years ago，scientists discovered that suckers only were not enough. It is the bristles(刚毛) on each foot that adds friction and static adsorption(静电吸附力) that makes a lizard move on the smooth wall easily without falling down.

Then scientists made great efforts to fix thick bristles to the robot's hands and feet. However，the effect was not satisfactory. The robot still couldn't attach itself firmly to the wall.

Scientists got puzzled: How on earth can the lizard crawl on an extremely smooth wall or even on a ceiling without dropping off ?

An accidental finding inspired them: One day a scientist happened to see an animal attack a lizard and bite off its tail. The lizard broke away from the animal’s teeth and threw itself on a wall to escape, only to fall off heavily on the ground. The scientist wondered: Is it the tail that plays an important role in its travelling on the wall? He caught some lizards for an experiment. The result proved his assumption: A tailless lizard has no trouble walking on an ordinary wall but can't on a smooth one. A further study showed the lizard's tail can prevent it falling over backward and，what's more, that the tail acts as an additional leg while one of the lizard's legs leaves the wall，which is always the case while it is walking on the wall.

Thus, Tailbot, a super tailed robot, is born.

67．What part(s) would be a must if scientists just wanted a robot which can hang on the wall?
