When I was seven years old, my family made me an ant farm．First，we put clean sand in a thin glass box．Then we waited for ants to arrive．
After the ants were in the glass farm，they started to make tunnels(地道)．I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do．Each had its own job．
On the fifth day a tragedy(悲剧) happened．I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over．All the tunnels fell down．Although the ants remained alive after their earthquake，one by one they began to die，I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm．
My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness．They simply could not stand that their tunnels were gone．
Although much time has passed , I still think of that ant farm．Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural ant world, but it taught me much more．
Over the years，I came to realize the importance of teamwork．Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves，I also learned that they should be admired(钦佩) for their hard work．
But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently：Adversity(逆境)is a natural part of life，and must be accepted．Unlike the ants，We cannot give up when we are sad．We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone，we must build another．
Giving up，I say，is not a good choice．

C．Unlike people，teamwork is not so important for the ants．
D．Giving up is a good way when we meet trouble．
58．Which is the correct order of the following?
a．All the tunnels fell down．
b．The ants died one by noe．
c．The ants got into the glass box．
d．The ants began making tunnels．
A．a―b一b一d B．a―c一d一b C．c一d―a―b D．c一a―d一b

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, they can be designed to find and destroy cancer cells or viruses(病毒) ．Other machines may stay in the human body for ever 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．
