A famous study was done in a school by a professor from a university．At the start of the school year，the teachers were given the names of five children．They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class．But the fact was that these students were only average，and they were not the best students at all．Well，guess what？At the end of the year，all the five average students scored among the highest in the class．

What made these average students change so much to become top students？The only difference was the change in their teachers'attitude．Because the teachers believed that these five kids were top students，they expected more from them．And so these five average students became to believe and expect more from themselves．So they worked harder to do as well as they could．

Do you know？If you expect the best from people，they'll usually want to give you their best．A great leader said，"Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside，and you'll make him even worse．But treat a person like he's already a success，and you'll help make him the best he can be．"

Like the true story of 7﹣year﹣old Johnny，his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said，"Johnny，you're the naughtiest（最调皮的） boy in this class．I'm sure you'll never change．"The next year Johnny had a new teacher．And on the first day of class，she met with Johnny after school and said，"Johnny，I've heard a lot about you!But do you know that I don't believe a word of it．"And every day after that，this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things．Later on，Johnny became a school leader，because that's the power of our belief and attitude towards children．

Are you interested in projects and do you want to make a good one？Well，that doesn't come easily．You need to do the following tasks：

TALK：You and your classmates discuss in detail all that you would like to do to realize your project．

WRITE：One of your classmates acts as the secretary（秘书）．He or she keeps full notes as your group discusses．Later he or she will sort（整理） your ideas to make them better．

PLAN：With the secretary's notes，your group makes a list of everything you'll need and who will get，do or research what．

DO：Each group member gets and does and researches something on the list．Your group puts together all you have found and tries to make the project better﹣organized．You prepare to present it in class．

Knowing all the above，you may want to try a project．Why not start with this：you can find out more about the history of your city．What did it look like？Which famous people lived there？

Nanotechnology is a new type of science that will be widely used in many fields．Do you want to know more about it？

Imagine：a television screen has the size and thickness of a piece of paper．You carry it around in your pocket and take it out when you want to watch a show．（61）A guitar is so tiny that you can't see it with the human eyes，but you can hear sound when its strings are pulled．

（62）Nanotechnology is the science，this kind of science can deal with doing things in a very small way，and it is being studied and developed all over the world．Many scientists say nanotechnology will produce the next industrial revolution（工业革命）．

（63）也许纳米技术对医学将有最大的影响．Imagine nanobots in medicine．Thousands or even millions of tiny machines can be sent into the human body with specific tasks．For example，（64）they can be designed to find and destroy cancer cells or viruses（病毒）．Other machines may stay in the human body forever to help organs（器官）that are not working properly．

When could all of these happen？Scientists predict that most of these are possible in the next 30years．Thousands of scientists around the world are working on these micro﹣machines．Nanotechnology is just around the corner．
