but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's selfrespect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.
28. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. Competition helps to set up selfrespect.
B. Opinions about competition are different among people. C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development. D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.
29. Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?
A. It builds up a sense of duty. B. It pushes society forward.
C. It improves personal abilities. D. It encourages individual efforts.
30. The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means ________.
A. those who try their best to win
B. those who value competition most highly
C. those who are against competition most strongly D. those who rely on others most for success 31.Which point of view may the author agree to?
A. Every effort should be paid back. B. Competition should be encouraged.
C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.
D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.
D
Traditionally, robots have been hard, made of metal and other rigid material: But a team of scientists at Harvard University in the US has managed to build an entirely soft robot-one that draws inspiration from an octopus (章鱼).
Described in science journal Nature, the “Octobot” could pave the way for more effective autonomous robots that could be used in search，rescue and exploration. “The Octobot is minimal system which may serve as a foundation for a new generation of completely soft, autonomous robots” the study’s authors wrote.
Robots built for precise, repetitive movements in a controlled environment don’t do so well on rough terrains (地形) or in unpredictable conditions. And they aren’t especially safe around humans, because they’re made out of hard and heavy parts that could be potentially dangerous to their users.
So researchers have been working on building soft robots for decades. They’re taken inspiration from nature, looking to animals from jellyfish to cockroaches, which are often made up of more flexible matter.

But creating a completely soft robot remains a challenge. Even if engineers build a silicone (硅酮) body, it’s still a grand challenge to construct flexible versions of essential parts, such as a source of power.
“Although soft robotics is still in its early stage, it holds great promise for several applications, such as search-rescue operations and exploration,” Barbara Mazzolai and Virgilio Mattoli of the Italian Institute of Technology’ Center for Micro-BioRobotics, wrote in a comment. “Soft robots might also open up new approaches to improving wellness and quality of life.” 32. What’s the special feature of “Octobot”？
A. It’s soft. B. It’s made of metal. C. It’s very small. D. It looks like an octopus. 33. What’s the disadvantage of traditional robots?
A. They’re hard to control. B. They’re too heavy to move. C. They can’t predict conditions. D. They can’t behave well all the time. 34. One of the biggest challenges is to build Octobot’s ________.
A. silicone body B. complex components C. precise movements D. flexible power source 35. What can we infer about the application of “Octobot”？
A. It has been used in various fields
B.It has not been put into use on a large scale. C. It has been used in the field of rescue D. It has not been improved yet .

Things You Should Stop Doing to Be Successful
Are you a happy person? How often do you think of reasons why everyone around you is successful though they are not better than you in general? What do you do wrong? Here are some things you should stop doing to be successful.

2. Do not believe anything without questioning it.
