        Chambanamoms Presents Girl*s Night Out: Foot Golf!

                 

            Grab some friends and join us on Saturday,June 4,for a fun night out at Lake of the Woods Golf Course in Mahomet,thanks to our friends at the Champaign County Forest Preserve District. There will be giveaways,some adult drinks and food,as well as a great night out playing Foot Golf. Yes,we said Foot Golf. You don't need to have a bag fUll of clubs (球杆) or fancy (钉鞋) —just bring yourself (and athletic shoes,please) .

            If you can kick a soccer ball,you can play Foot Golf. If you can laugh and have fun,you can also play Foot Golf.

            So what is Foot Golf? Foot Golf is what happens when you combine golf and soccer.Players kick off from a tee box (开球处) and attempt to get their soccer ball into a 21-inch diameter (直径) cup using the fewest number of kicks. Foot Golf can be played by children and adults. It is a trend sweeping golf courses across the country,and we are lucky to have it right here in Champaign County.

           This event is FREE. To manage the number of people we have on the course,we are asking our fiends to register (注册) .Here is a quick and easy form to fill out: http://www. chambanamoms. com/girlsnightoutrsvp/

             Quicker and faster 3-D printers have allowed not just amazing objects to be created,but have started to affect how doctors treat patients.

             Weve put together a list of some of the most amazing medical breakthroughs made possible with 3-D printing.

             Life-Saving Airway 

             In 2013,doctors created a new airway for Kaiba Gionfriddjo,a boy bom with an airway that kept collapsing(萎陷) .To save his life doctors printed tiny tubes to join together in different shapes and sizes until one finally worked for Kaiba. It was placed in Kaibas bronchus (支气管) so that it no longer collapsed. Even more remarkably,once the plant was placed it could stay there. It's designed to eventualiy be absorbed into the body.

              New “Bionic” Hands 

              One of the most remarkable ways 3-D printing is now being used is as a way to create prosthetics (假肢) . A boy bom without an arm named Alex was able to get a new “bionic” hand thanks to it. Last year a college student spent 8 weeks coming up with a special prosthetic design that only cost a few hundred dollars in materials. He said he wanted to create a prosthetic far cheaper than other choices that can run tens of thousands of dollars.

               A Practice Heart 

               In Seattle,doctors have been able to use 3-D printing technology to “practice” risky operations so that they will face fewer surprises in the operating room. Kami Sutton was bom with her heart “in the wrong place”. For a recent operation her doctor was able to take many scans of Sutton’s heart and print out a model. “Kami's heart is truly one-of-a-kind,Dr. Stephan Seslar,a heart disease specialist said. Operating on her without understanding the structure of her heart better could be very dangerous."

                A New Skull

                A U.K. man was able to have part of his skull rebuilt thanks to a 3-D printer. Stephen Power broke his cheek bones in a crash. To help Power his doctors instead created 3-D bones all carefully printed in the shape of his face. ^This is really the first time we’ve taken it to this stage,where everything has been planned and modeled in advance — and worked sweetly,” said Adrian Sugar,a doctor.

28. What is special about the 3-D printed airway?

   A. It uses high-tech materials.

   B. It varies in shapes and sizes.

   C. It can be absorbed by the body.

   D. It can prevent any disease in the airway.

29. What is the advantage of the new “bionic”hand?

   A. Its price. B. Its effects.

   A. Its materials. D. Its shape design.

30. How can 3-D printing technology help doctors in the operating room?

   A. It helps them get better scans.

   B. It guarantees the success of operations.

   C. It enables them to practice and learn more.

   D. It helps them to deal with patients,anxiety.

31. What does Adrian Sugar think of the new skull printed by 3-D technology?

   A. He has doubts about it.

   B. He thinks highly of it.

   C. It needs to be better planned.

   D. It functions well but needs improving.
