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．
58．What do Paragraphs 4﹣5talk about？
A．What advantages the self﹣cleaning clothes have．
B．How the self﹣cleaning clothes work．
C．How the self﹣cleaning clothes are made．
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．

| A．spend a long time in school |

It is expected that educated people will be able to _____.
| A．accept education as a way of living |

When I was walking back home at around 12:15 p.m. one day, an apple core（果核） came flying toward me. It landed just before my feet. Surprised, but I felt lucky not to get hit by it.
The apple was thrown over a wall by a school student. I live opposite a school. The wall separates my house from the school.
Thinking it was a one-off（一次的） experience, I told my friends, and we laughed about it.
Then, a week later, I was walking along exactly the same place at the same time and bam! Another apple core came over. This time it landed on the roof（屋顶） of a house. Oh, my God! I was nearly hit by it!
Last week I was on my way home. I checked my phone. It was 12:15 p.m. I thought about those two times when I had seen apple cores thrown over the wall. But suddenly, another apple core was thrown over with speed!
Enough was enough. Someone could be really hurt by these cores. Did the student(s) not realize that people live across the wall? Or did they not care?
I told my friend about it. “You should just throw the apple back over the wall. That will teach them,” my friend suggested. But I don’t want to play that “game”. As they say, an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.
Maybe I’ll call the school and let them know. The students need to know that they might hurt someone if they keep throwing their waste. What’s more, waste belongs in the bin, not anywhere else.
