written by michael crichton, paints a doomsday in which a group of tiny nanomachines escapes the lab and threatens to take control of humanity. studies have shown that some nanoparticles can be poisonous to animal cells. there are fears that exposure can cause breathing problems, since nanoparticles could be taken in through the nose, causing unknown problems to brain cells. scientists also

those western festivals. a survey conducted recently by sina. com. showed that among the 18,222 people surveyed 63.90% said celebrating christmas is just another way of recreation, nothing serious while 17.85% surveyed considered the festival as a fashion act, showing they were not “out”. these two parts clearly indicate the general opinion of the young. 10.45% people involved said the celebration of a religious western festival with so much enthusiasm is absolutely ridiculous pursuit of foreign goodness. only 7.80% of people define christmas as a kind of festival colonization(殖民).the arising of celebrating foreign festivals clearly has something to do with the advancement of chinas economy. in my point view, christmas and other festivals celebrated in china have difference from the origin. they have lost their religious background and turned into a big occasion to have fun and enjoy life. shop owners pockets are filled, the publics hunger for happiness is filled, and that is enough. foreign festivals in china are more like carnivals giving people pleasure and enjoyment. the crisis of traditional chinese festivals that are losing their attraction may be linked to the culture tradition and background of the festivals. most chinese festival culture is related more or less to real life. “the country is based on its people while the people are relied on their food”. but the western culture shows much of romance. some festivals have their religious background while others have much to do with culture and people. at this point, food seems to be too plain. flowers and chocolates are more welcomed.foreign festivals in china are celebrated for fun. they give people opportunities to relax and celebrate, to show appreciation and gratefulness. the acceptance of foreign festivals generally depends on the openness of the public, the familiarity with the western culture, and most importantly, on peoples economic status.1from the survey we know that among the people surveyed _. amost think celebrating foreign festivals is ridiculous bmany fear that traditional chinese festivals will disappear soon csome think that celebrating foreign festivals is a sign of foreign goodness chasing dhalf think celebrating foreign festivals makes people not go out of fashion2the writer thinks that foreign festivals celebrated in china _.ahave lost

average salary in the united states is $10.00 per hour. that means a person could earn enough money to buy a loaf of bread in one-tenth of an hour, or six minutes, then, halfway through the year, the price of bread goes up to $1.25, while wages stay the same. that means that a person how has to work one-eighth of an hour, or seven and a half minutes to buy the same loaf of bread. now lets say that at the end of the year, wages go up to$11.00 per hour, but the price of bread goes up to $1.50. now a person has to work more than one-seventh of an hour, over eight minutes to but the same loaf of
