Imagine this：a television screen has the size and thickness of a piece of paper．You carry it around in your pocket and take it out when you want to watch a show．Imagine a guitar so tiny that you can't see it with the human eye, but you can hear sound when its strings are pulled．
Nanotechnology(纳米技术)is the science that deals with doing things in a very small way, and it is being studied and developed all over the world．Many scientists say nanotechnology will produce the next industrial revolution(工业革命)．
Perhaps nanotechnology will have the biggest influence on medical science．Imagine nanobots(纳米机器人)in medicine．Thousands or even millions of tiny machines can be sent into the human body with specific tasks．For example, theycan be designed to find and destroy cancer cells or viruses(病毒)．Other machines may stay in the human body forever to help organs(器官)that are not working properly．
When could all of these happen?Scientists predict that most of these are possible in the next 30 years．Thousands of scientists around the world are working on these micro-machines．Nanotechnology is just around the corner．

Drinking water is good for your health．There are some scientific ways of drinking water．
1．It is the best medicine to drink two glasses of water in the morning．
2．Drink clean water．
3．Drink the water that has not been boiled．
Many people think boiled water is safe and good to people's health．In fact, it is not true．The boiling point of water is 100℃．By boiling it, most bacteria in water can be killed．In the past, the water was less polluted, so boiling was a good way to make clean water．But heavy metals and other dangerous things in today's water are much more terrible than bacteria．Boiling doesn't fix that problem．And boiling water may give us more of die dangerous things in our glass．
4．Never use soft drinks to take the place of water．
5．Water is also needed in winter．
6．Drink water in the right time．
1)After getting up in the morning, you have less water in your body, because you weren't drinking for the whole night．So you should drink some water to keep your health after getting up in the morning．That can prevent high blood pressure, cerebral hemorrhages(脑湓血), and so on．
2)Drinking water at about 10 am helps your body keep enough water．
3)Drinking water at about 3 pm can clean out the wastes in your body．
4)About eight o'clock in die evening is the best time to drink water．Your blood gets thicker when you sleep．Water will make your blood less thick．
Besides, we should drink 2L of water every day．Water is so important for our life．We should drink water often．

Most supermarkets in China provided free plastic bags．It was convenient for people to do shopping, but things changed．To protect the environment, supermarkets all over China stopped providing free plastic bags from June 1, 2008．If you don't want to pay money to buy them, you'll have to bring your own shopping bags．
What can we use to hold things we buy from shops?Students at Qing-shan Middle School had some good ideas．One idea was making different kinds of eco-shopping bags．54 students at that school made their own eco-shopping bags．They held an eco-shopping bag show last Friday afternoon．Many students made the bags with used clothes．They painted pictures like the Olympic rings on them．Some bags were made of used materials like used paper, old newspapers．Some were made of eco-materials like bamboo．
A boy student, Wang Lin, made his bag with several old newspapers．We asked him whether the bag was strong enough．Wang Lin said it was．“No problem．I took six bottles of water in the bag from the shop to my home yesterday evening,”he said．“I think it's strong enough to hold even ten bottles of water．”
Fang Yuanyuan, a girl student, had a more traditional way to make her bag－a bamboo basket．“It was a hard job,”she said．“With my grandfather's help, I spent a whole afternoon making it．”
The students also asked their parents and friends to use eco-shopping bags instead of plastic ones．Next Saturday afternoon, the school will hold another eco-shopping bag show to help shops and stores get ideas from the students' work．
