Nanotechnology is a fashionable word these days. The name “nano”(納米) comes from the size of molecules, which are measured in nanometers—or one billionth of a meter. Through operating the atoms and molecules, scientists can change the nature of common materials and even create new materials that have new properties.

But scientists are concerned about its possible risks to our daily lives.

Clothing merchants claim their nano-cloth keeps our bodies warmer in winter, saving us from needing thick coats. Vitamin companies boast their nano-pills are easier to absorb. Home decoration companies suggest you use their nano-paint, which has no smell, is waterproof, and free from poisonous substances.

Nanomaterials are making our lives better, its creators say. The US National

Science Foundation predicts nanotechnology research will grow into a US $-trillion industry over the next 10 years.

But relatively little is known about the potential health and environmental effects of the tiny particles. Just atoms wide, they are small enough to penetrate cells easily in lungs, brains and other organs. US best­seller “Prey”，written by Michael Crichton, paints a doomsday in which a group of tiny nanomachines escapes the lab and threatens to take control of humanity.

Studies have shown that some nanoparticles can be poisonous to animal cells. There are fears that exposure can cause breathing problems, since nanoparticles could be taken in through the nose, causing unknown problems to brain cells. Scientists also fear that nanoparticles placed on the skin could damage DNA. “No one knows, and that’s the problem，”said Pat Mooney, director of the ETC Group. “People are rubbing them on the skin as sunscreens and as cosmetics.”

Mooney’s group is calling for products such as sunscreen, that are directly absorbed into the body to be_taken_off_the_shelf until they’re proved safe.

B. It is a fashionable technology that can be used to create DNA.

C. It is a fashionable technology that is created by a scientist named Nano.

D. It is a fashionable technology that combines chemistry with physics.

37.What benefits can nanotechnology bring to us except________.

A. It can allow us to be free from thick coats by wearing clothes made of nano-cloth.

B. It can allow us to create more new materials to meet the need of our modern society.

C. It can help us to take control of the doomsday.

D. It can help us to decorate our homes more environmentally friendly.

38.Studies have made it clear that________.

A. exposure to nanoparticles can damage DNA

B. rubbing nano cosmetics on the skin can help control skin diseases

C. all nanoparticles can’t be poisonous to animal cells

D. the nanoparticles have bad effects on health and environment

39.What the underlined part “be taken off the shelf” in the last paragraph mean?

A. Mooney’s group recommends that consumers to buy nano products such as sunscreen on the shelf.

B. Mooney’s group suggests that nano products such as sunscreen win a great success on the shelf.

C. Mooney’s group suggests nano products such as sunscreen be sold on shelf instead of on the street.

D. Mooney’s group suggests nano products such as sunscreen be proved safe before they are sold.

Europe is home to a variety of cultural treasures. Lonely Planet, the world’s largest travel guide publisher, has offered pairs of cities for culture-hungry but time-poor travelers.

London and Paris

It takes you about two hours to travel from London to Paris by Eurostar, a high-speed railway service. The two capital cities have been competing in fashion, art and nightlife for decades-but each secretly looks up to the other.

No one can doubt the grand and impressive beauty of Paris' Louvre Museum, but if you want to save money, you cannot skip the British Museum free to visit. Compared with London, Paris has more outdoor attractions such as the beautiful green walkway La Promenade Plantee. 精品小說推薦： 昔日落魄少年被逐出家族，福禍相依得神秘老者相助，從此人生路上一片青雲！ 我行我瀟灑，彰顯我性格！ 彆罵小爺拽，媳婦多了用車載！ 妹紙一聲好歐巴，轉手就是摸摸大！ “不要嘛！” 完整內容請點擊辣手仙醫
