Some days，don't you think，"Wouldn't it be nice if the laundry would just do itself？"Self﹣cleaning clothes may sound crazy．But Australian researchers have found a way to make something like this possible!
A team at RMIT University in Melbourne，Australia，found a way to put special nanostructures （纳米结构） into clothing，which can then clean the clothes．When sunlight hits the nanostructures，they break down the dirt and stains （污渍） that don't belong on your clothes．
The nanostructures don't break down the actual clothing because cotton and the other clothing materials are too strong to be broken down．According to CNN，the researchers cover the clothing in a solution made of silver and copper （铜） nanostructures．All it takes is 40minutes of sunlight and your clothes will look as good as new．
So if you spill on yourself during lunch，you can step outside for a walk，and it will be clean by the time you go inside．It not only makes your life easier，but it can also be good for the environment．
According to the US Department of Energy，the average load of laundry uses about 25gallons （about 94liters） of water．Water is a very important resource，so using less of it to wash clothes is better for the environment．But one of the scientists at RMIT University knows more needs to be done．
"There's more work to do before we can start throwing out our washing machines，"said Dr Rajesh Ramanathan，"but this is a strong foundation （基础）．"
So what's the next step？Ramanathan wants to either start selling the solution by itself or convincing （说服） clothing makers to treat the clothing with the solution while clothes are being made．
57．How do the clothing with the nanostructures get cleaned？
A．Cotton clothes wash easily
B．This kind of clothing washes it by itself．
C．The dirt and stains are broken down in the sunlight．
D．Silver and copper help to get off the dirt in the dark．

D．What helps the self﹣cleaning clothes work．
59．What does the underlined word"solution"in the last paragraph mean？
A．Machines
B．Clothes．
C．Silver．
D．Design．
60．What can we learn from the passage？
A．Silver and copper sell well．
B．The solution is not put into practice．
C．Clothing makes certainly like the solution．
D．We don't need washing machines any more．

How to Start and Keep a Good Conversation Going
How to Start a good conversation
"Hi，my name is Sara．""I'm Frank．Nice to meet you．"
Introductions，like the one above，are a great way to begin a good conversation．When you introduce yourself，be confident and comfortable．That will make others comfortable，too．After the introduction，wait a bit．If the other person doesn't ask a question，you ask one．Starting with a question shows interest in the other person．You could ask "What do you do？"or "How do you know our host？"But asking something a little different shows you are clearly different．"What did you do last weekend？"and "Have you seen any good movies recently？"are two topics you could ask about．Another good way to start with is "Tell me about yourself．"Most people love talking about themselves．
How to keep a good conversation going
As the other person begins to answer your question，look for the same opinion．If you ask about last weekend，the person could talk about a bike ride they took．When the person finishes his opinions，you could mention an experience that you had with biking．You can then move on to discussing other sports the person may be interested in．
When the other person is talking，be interested in them．Listen carefully to their answers．Don't look around the room．That gives the other person the message that you are not really interested in them．
If you are answering the question，don't go on and on．Answer the question and then stop．A good conversation is like a tennis game where the ball goes back and forth．
With some practice，you'll be able to start and keep a conversation going with anyone！
