I think the text could be about microscopic robots that are partly made of DNA molecules. Through molecular biology and nanotechnology they can be used for medical applications. They could be used to perform operations like miniature robot surgeons and they may be called spider-bots. They could allow many treatments that are currently not possible.
1 D (microscopic robot… device)
2 A (understand its surrounding environment, make decisions and move automatically)
3 В (a possible walking distance of around 100 nanometres)
4 A (One day, people could live … with miniature robot surgeons… protecting the insides of their bodies.)
5 C (most of these concerns are over safety regulations … would like further tests to be carried out on products before they are allowed to enter the market)
1 environment
2 device
3 developed
4 applications
5 commands
6 chips
2 Josie told me that she had just found a job working in a science lab.
3 He said that they would soon have enough money to buy a more powerful computer.
4 Tom told me that he was going to watch Frankenstein on DVD that night.
5 She said that Philip was very interested in science.
6 Tony said that Sally worked for a company that designed robots.
7 She told me that she had read an article about artificial intelligence the other day.
A: microscopic robot… created by a team of researchers in USA… called nanospider… crawls along molecules ofDNA
B: It can walk, turn and create its own products.
C: made of DNA molecules
D: they can walk 100 nanometres, researchers trying to improve this
E: Nanotechnology could be very important in the future… medical applications F: Some worried about safety of nanotechnology G: Billions of dollars being spent on nanotechnology around the world…in the future nanorobots may perform surgeries impossible today
A microscopic robot was recently created by a team of researchers in the USA. They call it a nanospider and it can crawl along molecules of DNA. It can walk and turn and make its own products. It is made ofDNA molecules. So far, it can walk WO nanometres but researchers are trying to make it walk longer distances. Nanotechnology seems to very useful and may have a lot of medical applications. Some people are concerned about how safe nanotechnology is. A lot of money is spent on nanotechnology and in the future scientists believe nanorobots may be able to operate on people.
