The growth in telecommunications is giving more and more people access to the science that will help their country to develop or to acquire the medical knowledge that can fight disease. But how can everybody in the world share the recent technological advances? Millions of people cannot read these words because they dont have access to a computer.

Part II In-Class ListeningTapescript American scientists at Harvard University say theyve developed an ultra-thin film that could be used to create artificial muscles. They believe tissue produced with their technique would have the flexibility and strength of real muscles and could be used to repair hearts and severe burns or even build complete organs. So far, the muscular tissue has only been tested on rats but human trials are planned soon. Doctor Kevin Kits Park of Harvard University says there are many possible applications. “If you have a heart attack and part of your heart is dead, we could build a patch of muscular cells on the thin films that could patch over that dead cardiac tissue. You could eventually build an artificial organ. You could use these thin films to do this kind of thing.”Question 1: Which field did the scientists succeed in? Question 2: Which of the following is true about their study? Question 3: Which of the following can not apply this new technique? Listen to the news report again and complete the missing information to form complete answers to the following questions. Part II In-Class Listening1. What could this ultra-thin film create?

Obamas budget, which aims to cut funding in certain areas while increasing money used to create jobs, would cancel NASAs Constellation program. The program had sought to send astronauts back to the moon by 2020. NASAs program also intended to study the idea of establishing a moon colony. The program was set to follow the US Space Agencys Shuttle missions, which are due to end in September. On its website, the White House Budget Office says the program to send astronauts to the moon is behind schedule, over-budget and overall less important than other space investments. Using a broad range of criteria, an independent review panel determined that even if fully funded, NASAs program to repeat many of the achievements of the Apollo era fifty years later, was the least attractive approach to space exploration as compared to potential alternatives, the site says.Question 1: What did NASAs Constellation Program originally plan to do?
