15.I am quite sure that you must have seen TV advertisements about hair care products.The models have shining hair like jewels (宝石).But now to make hair shine is no longer the task of hair care products,because hair can be made into real jewels.Believe it or not,a company called LifeGem in the U.S.turns hair into jewels.The company is in the business of taking hair from dead people and making them into diamonds (钻石).The diamonds are for the families to remember the dead.
Now the company plans to make three diamonds using Beethoven's hair to show their latest technology (技术).The work will take about 7months and in the end,Beethoven's long hair will become 3shining diamonds between 0.5to 1carat in size.

分析 我很确信你看过护发产品的电视广告,广告中模特们有着宝石般闪亮的头发.但现在把头发搞得闪亮已不再是护发产品的任务,因为头发可以制造成真正的宝石.不管你信不信,美国一家叫"生命珍宝"的公司把头发造成了宝石.
该公司正在做收取死人的头发来制造钻石的生意.钻石是让家属纪念死者的.
现在该公司计划利用贝多芬的头发制造三颗宝石,以此展示他们的最新技术.该工作将需要大约七个月,最终,贝多芬的长发将变成三颗闪亮的宝石,大小在0.5到1克拉左右.
你也许纳闷,因为贝多芬这位著名音乐家死于1827年,他们是怎样得到他的头发的.事实上,这些头发是由约翰•瑞姿尼罗夫,也就是因收藏名人头发最多和最有价值而获得基尼斯世界纪录的人提供的.他的藏品还包括拿破仑、阿尔伯特•爱因斯坦、亚伯拉罕•林肯和约翰•肯尼迪等人的头发.其藏品总量价值超过500万美元.
尽管听起来不可思议,但拥有由头发制成的宝石却可能是对逝者表达敬意的好方式.
