Researchers are now using three-dimensional (三维的)，or 3D printing to create models of the human heart to help heart specialists. The heart doctors can use the models to better help patients before an operation.
Surgeons regularly use digital images to explore the heart in close detail. But no two human hearts are alike. This led Matthew Bramlet, a children's heart expert, to create exact heart models from those images. He says the 3D models show information he cannot get in any other way. The 3D printed model adds a new dimension to heart surgery, allowing surgeons to see defects that might not be readily apparent in digital images.
A 3D printer uses images from a digital display to create a physical model of a human heart. Pictures from medical tests like a CAT scan or an MRI scan are sent to a 3D printer to create a heart in a plaster or a clay form. The printer then constructs the heart, thin layer by thin layer. Dr. Bramlet says the model matches the real heart in every detail.
Dr. Bramlet has built model hearts for different kinds of heart operations. All of the operations were successful. In his first case, digital images showed only one tiny hole in a baby's heart. But the 3D printed model showed several defects that the baby was born with. Dr. Bramlet says those defects could not be seen easily in the images. The heart surgeon was able to change the type of surgery for the patient based on the 3D model. He added that 3D heart models saved time during heart operations.
Kathy Magliato is a heart surgeon. She welcomes the new technology. She says it could help her make better decisions before she operates on the hearts of her patients.
Matthew Bramlet continues to research the technology. He is working with the National Institute of Health to build a 3D library that includes heart models and images that others can use. 28. What’s thr limitation of digital heart images?
7
A. A lack of close details. B. Inability to display defects. C. Failure to show personal differences. D. Inaccuracy in the size of the child’s heart.
29.What can the heart model created by 3D printing do?
A.It can replace the human heart. B. It can conduct heart operations.
C. It can make defects readily apparent. D.It can serve as an alternative to a CAT scan. 30. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?
A. Dr. Bramlet wasted a lot of time in heart operations. A. 3D heart models have not been used in surgery at present. B. All of the operations were unsuccessful without 3D models. C.The model revealed defects previously unseen in the baby's heart. 31.How does Kathy Magliato feel about the 3D printing?
A. Tolerant. B. Supportive.
C. Doubtful.
D. Negative.

Architect Vincent Callebaut recently introduced a plan for high-flying teams of
self-sufficient aircraft that are one part of airship cities and one part hydrogen-producing floating farms. Called Hydrogenase (氧化酶）， t h e aircraft are 100% emission-free and are capable of creating hydrogen without consuming land needed for crops or forests.
We’ ve seen futuristic airships before, but never one that doubles as a hydrogen-producing flying farm! Designed for the South China Sea near Hainan,Callebaut’s hydrogenase airships are completely self-sufficient and contain a specialized breed of seaweed that absorbs sunlight and CO2 to produce hydrogen.
According to the architecis, %using farming to produce biofuel. 330 grams of seaweed produce 1, 000 liters of hydrogen per day,
