Many people have learned from a man from Brisbane, Australia,named David Engwicht. His book Reclaiming Our Cities and Towns has a simplemessage ． Kids playedthere, and neighbors stopped there to talk.
But now, streets are just for cars and trucks. People stayinside to get away from the noise and dangerous traffic, and we lose contactwith our neighbors ． People needto take back their streets.

They put old couches, tables, and planters in the street. ． When thepolice arrived, they saw how these illegal actions made the streets safer. Sooncity officials started planning ways to make cars slow down, and“calm”thetraffic.

During the Tang Dynasty, poems were recited when lovers walked under the moonlight. Poems were also recited when soldiers fought on the battlefield. People recited them in the open air or at temple fairs.

In the Tang Dynasty scholars had to be poets. Their readers were not only people of high social position but also common people. Poets recited poems; women singers sang poems and other ranks of people, including old women and children, read Tang poems. This atmosphere affected foreigners who visited the country at that time. As a result, Tang poetry was introduced to some adjacent countries, like Japan and Vietnam.

Tang poetry is a most brilliant page in the history of ancient Chinese literature. It’s a miracle in the cultural history of mankind. The Tang Dynasty was a powerful empire with a vast territory. It inherited Chinese civilization that went back to ancient times, and was combined with the best of other cultures and adopted the benefits of other nations in the world. Tang poetry wasn’t the only spiritual wealth created by the Tang Dynasty people. Philosophy and religion, handwriting and painting and music and dance all gained new peaks of development. Tang poetry, however, was the jewel in the crown and its greatest achievement.

Quicker and faster 3-D printers have allowed not just amazingobjects to be created, but have started to affect how doctors treat patients.
We’ve put together a list of some of the most amazingmedical breakthroughs made possible with 3-D printing.
Life-Saving Airway
In 2013, doctors created a new airway for kaiba Gionfriddo, aboy born with an airway that kept collapsing (萎陷). To save hislife doctors printed tiny tubes to join together in different shapes and sizesuntil one finally worked for Kaiba. It was placed in Kaiba’sbronchus (支气管) so that itno longer collapsed. Even more remarkably, once the plant was placed it couldstay there. It’s designed to eventually be absorbed into the body.
New “Bionic” Hands
One of the most remarkable ways 3-D printing is now being usedis as a way to create prosthetics (假肢). A boy bornwithout an arm named Alex was able to get a new“bionic”hand thanks to it. Lastyear a college student spent 8 weeks coming up with a special prosthetic designthat only cost a few hundred dollars in materials. He said he wanted to createa prosthetic far cheaper than other choices that can run tens of thousands ofdollars.
A practice Heart
In Seattle, doctors have been able to use 3-D printingtechnology to“practice”risky operations so that they will face fewer surprisesin the operating room. Kami Sutton was born 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 trulyone-of-a-kind,”Dr. Stephan Seslar, a heart disease specialist said. “Operatingon 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 toa 3-D printer. Stephen Power broke his cheek bones in a crash. To help Powerhis doctors instead created 3-D bones all carefully printed in the shape of hisface. “This is really the first time we’ve taken it to this stage,where everything has been planned and modeled in advance — and workedsweetly,”said Adrian Sugar, a doctor.
（1）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.
（2）What is the advantage of the new“bionic”hand?
A.Its price.
B.Its effects.
C.Its materials.
D.Its shape design.
（3）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 patents, anxiety.
（4）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.
