Would you pay $9,500 for a dress you couldn’t physically wear? Richard Ma paid that much earlier this year for such a garment. It cannot be touched or felt; instead, it is a digital dress that can only be layered on in a photo.

This sort of digital fashion, although still quite new, has seen a rise in    1     in recent years as designers push the    2     and cultural boundaries of space and time.

How Does It Work?

It might seem strange to buy a piece of clothing that does not    3     in physical space.

Well, in order to actually wear your digital garment, you must understand 3D modeling. 3D modeling is when you change the edges and vertices(顶点)of an object in a virtual 3D space.

The 3D modeling software that is used in digital fashion is CLO 3D. It was created for fashion designers to simulate their dresses before    4     their pieces into real clothing. But the buyers of digital clothing are downloading their    5     items through this software and using it to layer the clothes over a person in photos.

Digital fashion has not become common just yet, but it may show our    6     of growth in a digitized society. Digital fashion allows artists to think beyond physical reality, giving them more    7     in being bold and outrageous. It also may    8     the effects of fast fashion, an industry where cheap clothing is bought quickly and thrown away, which is    9     to the environment. You wouldn’t have to buy a physical piece of    10     clothing and wear it once; you could buy a digitized version instead.

It might be that we will soon all be buying intangible garments only to be worn in photos.

A recent study, while showing a generally positive attitude toward science, also suggests a widespread worry that it may be "running out of control". This idea is dangerous.

Science can be a force for evil as well as for good. Its     1     can be channeled either way, depending on our decisions. The decisions we make, personally or collectively, will     2     the outcomes of science. But here is a real danger. Science     3     so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference. And, rather than fighting for the best possible policies, we may step back and do nothing.

Some people go even further. They say that despite the     4     and legal objections (反对), whatever is scientifically possible will be done-somewhere , sometime. They believe that science will get out of control in the end. This belief is dangerous too, because it fuels a sense of hopelessness and     5     them from making efforts to build a safer world.

In our interconnected world, the     6     of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science. Without a     7     understanding, the challenges of "controlling" science in this century will be really tough. Take human cloning for example. Despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge     8     on traditional moral values, some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques. The     9     are hard to predict.

Therefore, discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. Only through the untied     10     of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can science best serve mankind in the future.

VR surgery

Richard Satava, a program manager for advanced medical technologies, has been a driving force bringing virtual reality to medicine, where computers create a “virtual” environment for surgeons.

“With virtual reality we’ll be able to put a surgeon in every trench(战壕),” said Satava. He     1     a time when soldiers who are wounded fighting overseas are put in mobile surgical units equipped with computers.

The computers would convey images of the soldiers to surgeons back in the U. S. The surgeons would look at the soldier through virtual reality helmets that contain a small screen     2     the image of the wound. The doctors would     3     robotic instruments in the battlefield mobile surgical unit that operate on the soldier.

Although Satava’s vision may be years away from standard     4     procedure, scientists are progressing toward virtual reality surgery. Engineers in California are developing a tele-operating device. As surgeons watch a 3D image of the surgery, they move instruments connected to a computer, which passes their movements to robotic instruments that perform the surgery. The computer provides     5     to the surgeon.

The technological     6     may not yet be part of the community hospital setting. However, with the passage of time, some of the machinery is     7     finding its way into civilian medicine. At Wayne State University Medical School, surgeon Lucia Zamorano takes images of the brain from computerized scans and uses a computer program to produce a 3D image. She can then move the 3D image on the computer screen to     8     the shortest and least invasive surgical path to the cancer. Zamorano is also using technology that     9     a needle to surgical instruments so that she can track their positions. While cutting away a cancer deep in the brain, she watches the movement of her surgical tools in a computer graphics image of the patient’s brain taken before surgery.

During these procedures surgeons are wearing 3D glasses for a better view. And they are commanding robot surgeons to cut away tissue more     10     than human surgeons can.

Satava says, “We are in the midst of a fundamental change in the field of medicine.”

【推荐3】The carrier rocket sent a Shenzhou-ll spacecraft(航天器)with astronauts Chen Dong and Jing   Haipeng into space. The rocket was fired from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center         1    the Gobi   desert. After two days in Earth's orbit, the spacecraft    2     (be) to link up with China's space   laboratory, called the Tiankong-2,     3       name means“Heavenly Palace 2". The lab     4     (place) into orbit last month.

The astronauts will spend 30 days on the Tiankong-2. They plan to perform       5         (science) and   spacecraft-related experiments and test systems for a future space station. In       6       words, the   Tiankong

~2 laboratory will not be part of that space station. Its main goal is to practice the techniques and the       7         (technology) that they will be       8     (use)to build and operate that final space station.

It is predicted that the Chinese space station will be built mostly by machine. China hopes to have   the space station    9     (complete) by 2022 and it is expected to operate for at least 10 years.

China also plans to land a probe(探测器)on Mars by 2020. Until now, China has completed a   total of five manned space missions. And,   in 2003,it       10     (successful)landed a probe on the moon.
