课后作业(八) Unit 3 Section Ⅱ Discovering Useful Strutures Ⅰ.阅读理解 A The San Francisco Giants added a special pitcher for the day. It was small—yet fierce—Hailey Dawson, who has a 3D printed hand. The energetic 8 year old from Nevada was invited to throw out the first pitch at the Giants game on Sunday. Dawson was born with Poland syndrome, a disorder in which affected individuals are born with missing or underdeveloped muscles on one side of the body. It affected her hand. With a traditional prosthesis potentially costing thousands of dollars, Hailey's mom, Yong Dawson turned to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas for help. She emailed UNLV engineering, and they accepted the challenge. Brendan O'Toole, the chairman of the mechanical engineering department, said he and his team had got a lot of requests, “but this one is different.” They got to work using a 3D printer. Several prototypes and fittings later, Dawson got her first hand about four years ago. Hailey's mother said the hand had given her daughter a wonderful lift. “When she puts this robotic hand on, it changes her personality and gains her self belief，” Yong Dawson told CBS San Francisco. “I love seeing that. I just want her to have an even playing field.” When she arrived at AT&T Park on Sunday, Hailey got to hang out with players in the shelter at the side of the sports field. They even let her try on their World Series rings. Using her 3D printed hand, Dawson threw out the first perfect pitch. Then with a wave and a smile, she headed into the stand to cheer on her newfound friends on the Giants. 1．What caused the function loss of Hailey's hand A．A serious brain disorder.
