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(納米技術(shù)) 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(工業(yè)革命) ．

Perhaps nanotechnology will have the biggest influence on medical science．Imagine nanobots(納米機(jī)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．

1．The two examples in Paragraph 1 are used to _______．

    A．introduce the smallest television

    B．introduce a new kind of guitar

    C．introduce the topic of the passage

    D．show how small the world is

2．Nanotechnology_________．

    A．will cause an industrial revolution

　　Hip hop or rap (說(shuō)唱 ） music as it is also called,started on the street and in the clubs of the New York City in the 1970s．But today many countries have their own kind of hip hop music．This kind of music comes from reggae, disco and funk music．Rapping means speaking to the rhythm of the music, and it is an important part of the music．People rap to express how they feel about their lives and problems．

　　Rapping in class．

　　Would you like to rap in class ? Well actually,hip pop music is played in more than 10,000 schools in the USA．Why ? There is a new school program called “ Flocabulary ”in which teachers use texts and hip hop CDs to help teach different school subjects．The words of the songs are just what students are studying．This makes learning easy and fun．Students and teachers are excited about the positive results it has had on exam marks．One teacher said, “ I've used hip hop songs in class, and I have never seen my students so crazy about history ! You can't imagine how well they imagine how well they remember what I teach ! We even try to write our own songs．”

　　Whose idea was Flocabulary?

　　Blake Harrison, a high school student, was the first person to come up with the idea of Flocabulary．The word “ Flocabulary ” comes from the word “ flow ” and “ vocabulary ”．“ Flow ” is a rap word for “ style ”,or the way a rapper says the words of a song．“ Vocabulary ” means the words you have to learn in a language．How did he get the idea ? Well, he realized he could remember the words of a hip hop song very easily．So,why not make lessons into songs ?
