新素养 技术应用 The Hexa Plant is a six-legged robot that has been specially made to care for the potted（盆栽的）plant that it carries on top of its head. Using light and heat sensors（传感器），the robot has the ability to carry its plant in and out of the daylight. If the house plant needs more sun，the Hexa Plant will walk into the sunlight；if the house plant is getting too hot，the Hexa Plant will go back into the area that blocks direct light. The Hexa Plant will even do a little dance to warn its owner when it senses that the plant needs to be watered.
The robot was developed by the Vincross engineer and founder Sun Tianqi after he saw a dead sunflower sitting in the darkness in a room back in 2014. “Plants only receive an action without responding，” Sun Tianqi wrote in a blog post. “Whether they are being cut，bitten，burned or pulled from the earth，or when they haven't received enough sunshine，water，or are too hot or cold，they will hold still and take whatever is happening to them.”
According to Sun Tianqi，for billions of years，plants have never experienced movement of any kind，not even the simplest movement. In their whole lives，they stick to where they were born. Sun Tianqi continued，“Do they want to break their own settings or have a tendency（趋势）towards this? I do not know the answer，but I would love to try to share some of this human tendency and technology with plants. With the help of the robot，plants can experience the move.”
The Hexa Plant model robots are not for sale，though Vincross does sell a Hexa robot model. It is said that in the near future the robots can open up a new market to watch over our household plants.

#### 新素养 技术应用
Hexa Plant是一款六条腿的机器人，它被专门设计用来照料放置在其头顶的盆栽植物。借助光线和热量传感器，该机器人能够将它的植物移入或移出阳光照射的区域。如果室内植物需要更多阳光，Hexa Plant会走到阳光下；如果室内植物变得太热，Hexa Plant会回到遮挡直射光线的区域。当Hexa Plant感觉到植物需要浇水时，它甚至会跳一小段舞来提醒它的主人。
这款机器人是由Vincross的工程师兼创始人孙天齐开发的，2014年，他看到一朵向日葵在房间的黑暗中枯萎了。“植物只会接受某种行为而不会做出回应，”孙天齐在一篇博客文章中写道。“无论它们是被切割、被啃咬、被灼烧还是被从土里拔出来，或者当它们没有得到足够的阳光、水分，或者太热或太冷时，它们都会静止不动，承受发生在它们身上的一切。”
据孙天齐说，数十亿年来，植物从未经历过任何形式的移动，甚至是最简单的移动。在它们的一生中，它们都坚守在自己出生的地方。孙天齐继续说道：“它们想要打破自己的这种设定吗，或者有这种趋势吗？我不知道答案，但我很想尝试把人类的这种趋势和技术分享给植物一些。在机器人的帮助下，植物可以体验移动。”
Hexa Plant模型机器人暂不出售，不过Vincross确实销售一款Hexa机器人模型。据说在不久的将来，这些机器人可以开拓一个新的市场，来照看我们的室内植物。
1. 关于Hexa Plant，我们能了解到什么？
A. 它帮助人们种植一些花。

2. 作者在第二段试图说明什么？

D. 制造室内植物助手的原因。
3. 孙天齐试图用这项技术做什么？
