D) Now scientists at Stanford University have created a liquid (that allows people to see through the skin of a mouse.The liquid is made with water and tartrazine-a yellow-orange colouring often used in foods.When they tested this mixture on very thin pieces of chicken,the chicken began to turn clear. Next,the scientists tested the liquid on living mice.First,they cut the hair off the miee.Then they applied (the liquld to their skin.In Just a few minutes,the skin of the mice became see-through.The scientists were able to see inside a mouse's brain ()When the liquid was washed off,the skin returned to normal. To understand how this discovery works,it's helpful to think about how light travels through different materials.Light usually travels in a straight line.If it hits something,it refracts 第6页共10页 (折射)or reflects(反射).Glass is easy to see through because light only refracts a little when it goes through the glass. But skin isn't like glass.It's made up of many different parts,llke water,fat and protein( )Each different materlal in the akin changes how light travels,refracting and reflecting it in different directions.This makes it hard to see through the skin. The liguid changes the-wayHght-refracts tnthe-akin.It does this mainly by causing the watery parts of the skin to be more simllar to others.As a result,lght hitting the skin mostly refracts in the same way.This makes the skin see-througb.. The sctentists say that if something simllar could be made to work on humans,it could lead to exciting medlcal improvements.However,they note that more work needs to be done before a similar method can be used on humans.The llquid now only works on thin skin.It could one day help doctors see inside human bodies. (-65.Whfch of thre following fhings is the easlest to see through? 'A.Glass. B.The skin of mice. C.Human skin. D.Thin pieces of chicken. )66.How does the liquid help make the skin see-through? A.By changing the different materials in the skin. B.By helping light hit the skin mostly in the same way. C.By refracting and reflecting light in different directions. D.By making the watery parts of the skin more like others. 67.What can we infer (about the liquid from the text? A.It may only be used on mice to understand their brains. B.It may have an important influence on modern medicine. C.It may be so dangerous that it can not be used on humans. D.It may help patients know what makes them uncomfortable.
