31、t of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in your house. Specialists (专家) advice is useful to help you choose the most suitable kind of dog.

33、n let it run freely.Dogs are demanding pets.

40、ding workers to stabilize mountainsides using steel bars and cement (水泥) can help prevent disaster, but it introduces new difficulties. Shaking drills produce harmful dust and loosen heavy, dangerous debris (岩屑). “Its quite a risky job, “says Giorgio Pezzuto of DAppolonia, an engineering company in

41、Italy.DAppolonia, working with eight other companies, may have an answer: a three-ton robot called Roboclimber. “The idea is to operate a machine far away that can drill without a human being on board,“ says Pezzuto, the manager for the project, which is supported by the European Commission. Enginee

42、rs claim that the machine will be faster and cheaper than manual labor. The robot, a large radio-controlled four-legged mechanical spider, has cost at least $2 million so far. The final product should be able to climb unstable mountainsides, drill holes, insert bars and cement, and collect data on t

46、 motor engineers are doing in Germany and some other countries.Carmakers research and development laboratories have already proved that mixing more noise with the help of loudspeakers can reduce the unwanted noise. Physicists have known about the technique for a long time. Sound is made up of pressu

47、re waves in the air. If two sound waves of the same frequency (频率) mix so that the highest point of one wave happens at the same time as the lowest point of the other wave, the result is no sound. Therefore, by producing a perfect copy of the noise and delaying it by half a wave cycle (周期), we can k

48、ill the unwanted noise. Using this technique many carmakers are racing to develop noise killing systems (系统) both inside and outside the cars.Another good thing about the use of noise killing systems is that it saves the need for a silencer; this not only reduces the weight of a car, but also makes the motor burn less fuel and work better
