All the 6,000 medals for the 2008 Olympic Games have arrived in the capital from the Shanhai Mint,ready for their debut(首次登场)on August 8.For the,first time in Olympic history,the medals for the Beijing Games mix metal and jade.

The technology of inlaying jade into metal can date back to the Han Dynasty almost 2,000 years ago.It is not easy to bond jade perfectly with metal.The key to the process lies in the inner layer of the metal and the groove(凹槽)of the jade ring.A seal ring is put between the inner layer and the groove to join the metal and jade together.

Jade rings used for casting Olympic medals have been subjected to strict quality controls,and those not up to the standard have been thrown away.

To make use of those jade rings that do meet the quality criteria,metal medals were produced to fit the jade tings,and more than ten different sizes of seal rings were designed.

To avoiding any loosening of the jade rings due to aging of the seals,glue has been used in casting the;Olympic medals,which is a painstaking manual process.

Experts from the International Olympic Committee(IOC)were concerned about the risk of fragility(脆弱)when the jade ring design was proposed.The IOC required that jade rings should be strong enough to withstand a 2-meter drop test.The Shanghai Mint raised that standard to 3- meters.Medals call survive a 3-meter drop test with only minor cracks on the jade rings.

In the future your automobile will run on water instead of gas! You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket!

These predictions are some of today's best guesses about what technology might bring tomorrow.Whether past technology predictions will show the future ins't always easy to guess.Many of the high-tech things our parents thought we'd be using by now simply never appeared.A few of them have been surprisingly accurate.Some great thinkers predicted the arrival of the credit card,the fax machine and even the internet-years before they happened.Let's look at some predictions from the not-too-distant past.

Robot Helpers

Where's the robot in my kitchen? Nowhere,of course.And he's probably not coming anytime soon.Robots do exist today, but mostly in factories and other manufacturing environments.

Back in the 1950s,however,people said that by now personal robots would be in most people's home.

So why hasn't it happened? Probably because robots are still too expensive and clumsy.And maybe the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too weird.At home we seem to be doing fine without them.

Telephones of tomorrow

In 1 964 an American company introduced the video telephone.They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes.But of course the idea hasn't caught on yet.

Why? The technology worked fine,but it overlooked something obvious:people's desire for privacy.Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just stepped out of the shower?

Probably not-it could be embarrassing! Just because a technology that is available doesn't always mean people will want to use it.

    D.Many of the high-tech things our parents thought we'd be using by now simply never appeared.

49.Which of the following is right according to the passage?
