Believe it or not, driving can lower your IQ. In a recent study of about 500,000 people between ages 37 and 73, researchers found a noticeable drop-off in brainpower, intelligence and memory. Among the people are those who drove for more than two hours each day. The study also found that the more time people spent watching TV or driving, the  their test scores. It is because such activity fails to either the body or the brain. If you must drive long

to work, consider adding a mentally active activity on the road, such as listening to language lessons.

A Cloud of Hope and Danger

    In 2050, a small cloud floats through the air in a hospital operating room(手术室). In the room a patient, suffering from cancer, lies on a table. The cloud surrounds (包围) the patient, her body and filling her lungs (肺). The cloud is not smoke or steam. It is made of millions of microscopic robots called nano-robots(纳米机器人). These tiny robots move from cell(细胞) to cell in the body, destroying the cancer cells.

    Fighting cancer with nano-robots is only an idea today, scientists say that it would be possible in the future. Using nano-robots for good purposes such as fighting disease or repairing the environment may be the to many of today's problems.

    However, nano-robots could be a risk as well. Since nano-robots are so tiny, they will have to work in large teams of many thousands to 'many millions. For this reason, nano robots will have to be programmed to build . Scientists will not have the ability to build millions of nano-robots one by one.

    This to reproduce(复制)is making some scientists worried. What if something goes wrong in the programming? Quite a lot of crazy nan-orobots would be far than any disease. Some people think that if they get out of control, nan-orobots could destroy the Earth.

    What should be done? Should we continuenan-orobots or should we search for other methods? This is one of the many difficult that we have to make in the future.

Showing my life to the public can allow them to understand our group and can also tell other disabled people that our society is more tolerant（宽容）than they imagined, " she explained.
