Built by leading UK roboticists Richard Walker and Matthew Godden from Shadow Robot,Rex is currently on display at London’s Science Museum.The two-metre tall artificial man has 28 of the latest artificial limbs and organs and cost almost $1 million to make.Walker describes how their work began about two years ago when the production company got in touch with him.His team hoped to obtain the very latest prosthetics and build a human from it.As Walker says,“see if it stands up and walks!” Their objective was to show people the latest artificial body parts,all of which can be used in the real world.Rex was born after two and a half months of late nights and lots of pizza.Then there are the more conventional (常规) prostheties like the artificial hand,which uses signals from nerves in the human body for picking up holding things.
Walker is very surprised by how well technology is being used to build organs to function effectively when the original organ fails.If the Bionic Man can be built again in five years’ time,Walker predicts that we will be even more surprised by what prosthetic technology can do for our bodies.

Cucumber(黄瓜)-Your Skins New Best Friend
Cucumber has a way of making the simplest things better,like a cold glass of water.But did you know that it can also greatly transform your skin’s health and appearance?
According to a study,cucumber has skincare benefits including vitamin C and caffeic acid,which both fight to reduce irritated (刺激性的) skin. 36 Below are three ways scientists recommend treating your skin with cucumbers.
37 For an instant fix,place cool cucumber slices around your eyes.They will act like little ice packs to relieve swollen (肿胀的) lids.“Cucumbers contain something that decreases swelling,redness and irritation,” said Wechsler. “They also provide a cooling effect that helps shrink expanding blood vessels,therefore reducing the appearance of swollen eyes.”
Treat sunburnt and irritated skin. 38 But don’t worry.Cucumbers are loaded with lots of nutrients like water and vitamins A and C that comfort skin conditions like sunburns.Simply place thin slices of cucumber onto your face and lie down for at least fifteen minutes. 39
Use as an anti-aging facial mask.Wechsler’s mask calls for half a cucumber and two tablespoons of plain yogurt. 40 After that,clean with warm water.Cucumbers contain vitamin C and caffeic acid,which help defend you against wrinkles,sun damage and more,when applied to skin.
A.Calm swollen eyes.
B.Make you feel happy.
C.Then remove the slices and have a wash.
D.Cucumber can prevent you against any form of harm.
E.The effects of too much sun can be real painful,especially on the face.
F.Actually even people with the most sensitive skin types can use it to their advantage.
G.Make them into a thick mixture,apply to your skin and allow it to sit for fifteen minutes
