    Nan Weidong and Nan Weiping live and work in a small Beijing apartment (公寓房间). They come from Anhui Province. They go to the local market in Beijing to buy lots of vegetables and they are used for making musical instruments.

    The two grew up with vegetables around them. Their music teacher father taught them to learn traditional instruments from a young age. When they were teenagers, they joined a local music group.

    But it wasn't until two years ago that they thought of making instruments out of vegetables, and they have been interested in it ever since. They make holes in different kinds of vegetables and get different kinds of instruments.

    "The deeper the hole, the lower the pitch (音调). Theshallowerthe hole, the higher the pitch," said Nan Weiping.

    The two have taken part in lots of talent shows (达人秀) in China and often get 30,000 to 50,000 yuan for a performance. Each show needs making a whole new set of instruments.

    Though the size and shape of the vegetables is important, the most importance is placed on freshness, said Nan Weidong.

    "If the water content (含量) in vegetables loses, the tune (曲调) will become higher, or even out of tune. So we choose vegetables with as much water content as possible," he said.

    "The vegetables have to be hard. We can't use vegetables left over for days. They are too soft to be played."

    There was once a king who  had a great palace with a wonderful garden. In the garden, there lived all kinds of animals. All of them enjoyed living there.

    There was only one thing that the king hated in the garden: an old tree in the centre of the . It was so old and dry. This made the king so that he finally asked some people to cut it down and turned the place into a swimming pool. However, after the tree was cut , the animals left the garden. Without the animals, the garden was not so beautiful as before. The king was sad, he didn't know what had happened.

    A young man went to the king, said he could explain  what had happened. "This was because you cut the old tree down," said the young man. "There were thousands of moths (飞蛾)  lived in the tree. Birds needed the moths to eat  and then produced wastes for plants to grow. The plants then attracted many animals to your garden. So your garden became very beautiful. But as you cut the tree down, the animals had to leave."

    "Excellent!" said the king, "I'll make you rich and you will try to make my garden beautiful again."

    "I'm afraid will take many years to finish it. To get back the natural balance will take many years," said the young man.

    The king was sad, but all he could was just to wait.

A Cloud of Hope and Danger

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

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

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

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

    What should be done? Should we continue researching nanorobots or should we search for other methods? This is one of the many difficult decisions that we have to make in the future.
