Mr. Brown had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. On day he was walking along the beach when he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and he wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking something up and very gently throwing it into the sea. As he got closer he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?”
The young man stopped, looked up and said, “ Throwing starfishes(海星) into the sea.”
“I guest I should have asked, why are you throwing starfishes into the sea?”
“The sun is up, and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them in they’ll die.”
“But, young man, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach, and starfishes all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!”
The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked up another starfish, threw it into the sea, and said, “It made a difference for that one. “ There is something special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can know that gift, we will gain the power to shape the future.
The young man was right. Each of us should find our starfish. And if we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be better.

Many experts complain that media too often take advantage of the science fiction aspects of nanotech. Reports of nanotech often refer to K. Eric Drexler's book Engines of creations, which predicts an age full of dominant molecular manufacturing and a world without material scarcity. Whatever humans need will one day be built cheaply with microscopic self-replicating machines that put atoms together to create copies of anything alive in the world -- from trees to human bodies.
In fact, the scientific community is deeply divided over whether self-replicating machines are possible. If they are, major dangers could exist. Dr. Drexler himself thought that self-replicating machines could go out of control. He writes in his book that man-made "plants" with leaves no more efficient than today’s solar cells could win over real plants crowding the earth with leaves t
hat are not suitable to be eaten. Tough “bacteria" could be more compe
titive than the real bacteria, they could spread everywhere, replicate swiftly, and reduce the earth to dust in a matter of days.
Critics of nanotech have made use of such images, calling for a delay on commercial nanotech until regulations are established. They also point to the possible military uses of nanotech. Bill Joy, the co-founder of Sun Microsystems, wrote in a Wired magazine essay in 2000 that if nanotech falls into the wrong hands, it could bring dangers to society.
Opponents say Mr. Joy is over-reacting, "In a way, calling for bans on research, into molecular manuf
acturing is like calling for a delay on faster-than-lig
ht travel because no one is doing it." says Glenn Reynolds, a University of Tennessee law professor.
Professor Reynolds says it is a good idea to regulate nanotech, but in ways the government would regulate any that could be dangerous. Expert controls and certification systems for nanotech companies are examples. US lawmakers have put forth four bills on nanotech research and development.
58. K. Eric Drexler in his book predicts a future world with sufficient material, because ________.
A. man-made plants could replace real plants and grow more quickly
B. plants produced by nanotech would be as sufficient as today's solar
C. man-made bacteria would be wide-spread and capable of self-replicating
D. humans could create copies of anything alive with high technology
59.
To call for a delay on commercial nanotech, critics of nanotech make use of _________.
A. current social problems
B. science fiction descriptions
C. disagreements in the scientific community
D. the fact that no one is doing molecular manufacturing
60. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
A. Nanotech should not be put into wrong use in the military field.
B. The government should regulate products that could be dangerous.![]()
C. Nanotech regulations should be established in spite of the divided opinions.
D. The media should not take advantage of the science fiction aspects of nanotech.
