【正文】 s. They, therefore, made a robot with suckers on its hands and feet.The robot could hang on the wall but fell off when climbing. So, they went on researching. 6 years ago, scientists discovered that suckers only were not enough. It is the bristles (剛毛) on each foot that adds friction (摩擦) and static adsorption (靜電吸附力) 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 climb 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 a cat attack a lizard and bite off its tail. The lizard broke away from the cat’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. 24. What part(s) would be a must if scientists just wanted a robot which can hang on the wall? A. Suckers. B. Suckers and bristles. C.
