Millions of pieces of junk are turning around in orbit, the result of 50 years of space travel and few regulations to keep space clean. At orbital speeds, even a small bit of paint crashi
27、ng with a satellite can cause critical damage. Various companies have plans to send thousands of new satellites into low- Earth orbit, already the most crowded area. The RemoveDEBRIS experiment is run by a company and researchers led by the U. K.s Surr ey Space Center and includes Airbus, Airbus-own
28、ed Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. and France s ArianeGroup. Guglielmo Aglietti, the director of Surrey Space Center, said that an operational version of the RemoveDEBRlS technology would cast a net that remains fastened to the main satellite so the debris can be dragged out of orbit. It could targ

The RemoveDEBRIS satellite will conduct a few more experiments in the coming months, including testing navigation features that could help guide the satellite to a specific piece of debris. There are still enormous barriers to

34、unk for the First Time D A large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many aspects of willpower. Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind: How can willpower be strengthened? If willpower is truly a limited resource, as the research s
35、uggests, what can be done to make it stay strong? Avoiding temptation ( 诱惑 ) is an 17 effective method for maintaining self-control, which is calle d the “out of sight, out of mind ” principle. One recent study, for instance, found office workers less attracted to candy in the desk drawer than that
36、on top of their desks, in plain sight. The research suggesting that we possess a limited reservoir of self-control raises a troubling question. Whenwe face too many temptations, are we to fail? Not necessarily. Researchers don t believe that one s willpower is ever completely exhausted. Rather, peop

The right motivation allows us to tap into those reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down. High motivation might help overcome weakened willpower-at least to a point. Willpower may a

But there is another aspect to the muscle comparison, they say. While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the shor
39、t term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strength. The evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of reso lutions on New Year s Eve is the worst possible approach. Being exh
40、austed in one area can reduce willpower in other areas, so it makes more sense to focus on a single goal at a time. In other words, don t try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time. Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in pl
41、ace, Baumeister says, you ll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will become routine, an d wont require making decisions at all. 32.

42、es one s success C. willpower is hardly completely exhausted D. too many temptations often lead to failure 33. The underlined phrase “tap into ” in Paragraph 3 most probably means .

You should take responsibility for your actions, whether they are intentional ( 故意的 ) or unintentional. 37 Failing to
