Legos continue to be one of the most popular toys for children around the world.
Many fun and interesting things can be created with these plastic, colored building blocks.
Sometimes,Legos can even build some very useful things.One such example was created by a Spanish man,whose love for Legos began as a young child.
David Aguilar, now 19, has spent many years playing—and building things—with Legos.
Aguilar was born without a right forearm because of a genetic condition. “As a child I was very nervous to be in front of other guys because I was different,” Aguilar told the Reuters News Agency. “But that didn't stop me from believing in my dreams.”
One dream he had was to build his own prosthetic arm out of Legos.
Aguilar is currently a university student in bioengineering at UIC Barcelona in Spain.He is now using his fourth model of the Lego creation.He says his next dream is to design lowcost robotic arms and legs for people in need.
Aguilar's first attempt at creating a prosthetic arm came when he was nine years old.He says this first version was a simple design with very limited abilities.He built his first fully operational robotic arm at 18.It had a movable elbow joint and a tool for picking things up powered by an electric motor.
Each new version has added improved possibilities for arm movements. His newest Lego inventions also permit him to pick up and carry heavier objects.
Aguilar told Reuters it is nice to be able to wear the prosthetic arm because he likes the feel of having two hands.But he said he does not use the arm all the time because he has learned to do many of his daily activities without it.
All the prosthetic arm versions are kept inside his room at school.The latest models are marked MK,followed by a series number.The name is meant to honor one of Aguilar's favorite superheroes,Iron Man.
Aguilar shows off some of his Lego creations on his own YouTube channel, named“Hand Solo”.In one of his videos,he demonstrates the MK-Ⅲ.He calls it“the best one yet”.
In some of his videos,Aguilar aims to show people with disabilities that nothing is impossible.He wants them to know that they,too,can reach their goals and dreams.He would even like to help provide needed equipment for some of them.
“I would try to give them a prosthetic(arm),even if it's for free,to make them feel like a normal person.”
聽 力 策 略 指 導(dǎo)
聽力短文理解題解題策略
聽短文時(shí),需做到整體理解中心內(nèi)容,把握主要情節(jié),抓住要點(diǎn),邊聽邊用筆記下重要信息。如全文或段落主題句的關(guān)鍵詞、人名、地名、日期、數(shù)字等關(guān)鍵詞。要學(xué)會(huì)用符號(hào)來記錄信息,符號(hào)要盡可能簡(jiǎn)明,只要自己能看懂就行,這樣才不影響跟聽速度。此外對(duì)于關(guān)鍵詞的詞義要學(xué)會(huì)推測(cè);對(duì)于人名、地名等一些不影響文章理解的詞,不必多想;對(duì)于未聽懂而又必須理解的關(guān)鍵詞,要在聽過全文之后,再根據(jù)上下文猜測(cè)詞義。切忌在聽短文的過程中在某個(gè)詞上糾結(jié),導(dǎo)致一步跟不上,步步都踏空。
對(duì)短文的首句和首段一定要注意抓聽,其首句或首段往往是全篇文章的理解線索,如作者觀點(diǎn)、內(nèi)容概要,故事發(fā)生的時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)及起因等,聽懂這些內(nèi)容有助于整體理解文章。要特別注意,在所聽的短文中,結(jié)尾部分所給出的信息往往不會(huì)是題目的正確答案,而僅僅只是一個(gè)“陷阱”。絕不能因?yàn)槁牭臅r(shí)間長(zhǎng)了而產(chǎn)生松懈的心理,造成誤選。
