A young prince had just recently become king. In order to rule his kingdom wisely, he   1    to learn all the wisdom of the world. So, he called up all the wise men from his kingdom and abroad and ordered them to   2    books for him to read and learn from.

Five years passed quickly. The wise men    3    with their camels, carrying 5,000 books full of wisdom. Seeing so many books, the king was so    4    that he didn't know where to start. So he ordered the wise men  to condense the books and bring them back to him.

Another five years    5   . The wise men came back with 500 books, but the king thought there were still too many for him.

Five more years passed. The wise men brought back 50 books.    6    , the king still found there were too many.

During the next few years, the wise men worked hard to condense the 50 books into one book and    7   it to the king. Unluckily, the king showed no   8    in reading this book, nor did he have time to learn from it. Many problems broke out in his kingdom, such as wars and diseases, but he did not have the wisdom to    9   these problems.

Waiting for wisdom to come to you is just a way of being lazy. If there is no    10   , there can be no progress. Only if we start to learn can we make a difference.

Known as Earth's "kidneys" (肾), wetlands（湿地）play an important role in the ecosystem. However, about 35 percent of natural wetlands have been lost in the past 50 years, said the UN. Hoping to do their part in wetland protection, Lyu Haoyan and Cui Luoyao, two 14-year-old girls from Beijing created a mudskipper amphibious robot(弹涂鱼两栖机器人）.

They won the Gold Award of the 19th Soong Chingling Award for Children's Invention on Aug 17."

We wanted to make a simple robot to help collect data,but traditional robots faced problems in wetlands," Cui told Teens.

As an amphibious fish, mudskippers are small and can move freely in wetlands. Inspired by the little creature, they added a special chest and tail fin (鳍） to their robot. The fin can help the robot move freely on land and swim underwater. They also learned coding (编程) to control the robot with their phones from far away, up to 300 meters. What's more, they put in different sensors （传感器）to see plants and check water quality.

But things didn't always go well. How to keep the main electronics（电子元件）dry when the robot went underwater was a big problem during testing. "The 3D printed parts we used couldn't seal（密封）well," Lyu told

Teens. After trying different methods, they found that placing robber(橡胶）rings in the gaps(缝隙） worked well to stop water from getting in.

After successfully controlling their robotic mudskipper on land and underwater, they were happy with their success. "I feel so proud because our robot can help look into the places that people cannot reach," said Cui.

C. A special wheel.        D. A special chest and tail fin.

14. What did Cui and Lyu use to control their robot?

A. A computer.        B. Their phones.

C. A rubber seal        D. Some sensors.

15. How did the girls keep the electronics dry when it was underwater?

A. By using more 3D printed parts.    B. By sealing the robot with tape.
