BEUlNG，July 8(Xinhuanet)一A new botel concept has been realized in a village in Noah—
elTl Sweden。which aims to make the simple treehouse become a world—class destination for travel—ers．The Treehotel．10cated in a place called Harads．will consist of four looms when it opens onJuly 17th：the Cabin．the Blue Cone，出e Nest，and山e Mirrorcube．
Two additional rooms are scheduled to open in October．The long term vision(想象)is even
more expansive．“Our goal in five years is to have 24 looms from 24 different architects．”says
Treebotel co．founder Kent Lindvall．
The first six looms were designed by five difierent architects．The Mirroreube which stands four
meters high and four meters wide．and山e walls of which are made with a mirrored glass，has drawnwidespread attention as it will be attached to a single tree．“It's an interesting building You can’tfind anything else like this in the world today It’s unique(独特的)，”says Lindvall．“Everythingwill refleet iu it—the trees．the birds．the clouds and the sun in the forest．So it could hardly beseen in山e forest．This is untouched forest and we want to keep it the same way．”
Lindvall says the Treehotel’s vision proves a powerful draw，with enquiries(询问)coming in
from far and wide．“I think what’s exciting here is that we’re Just 60 km below the Arctic Circle．Itmeans there’s a good possibility to have the no．hem lights in the winter and of course t(’have themidnight sun in the summer．”
The motto of the Treehotel is“Feel Free in a Tree”and expense will cost up to about S 555．50
fur two guests in the Cube，which is designed to hold up to four guests．

The small un~amed painting called“Fisherman”was signed by a little．known Italian artist．
Maveleone(1669—1740) When it was sold reeendy in New York for$27．000．the seller．Mr．
Oliver Pitt．was asked to explain how the picture had come into his possession．
Pitt said．“I didn’t know it was so valuable．I’In not an art expert．Photography is my hobby Ibought‘Fisherman’in Italy iil 1970 for$140．The picture was dirty．and I couldn’t see the artist’ssignature．But anyway it wasn’t the picture t}lat I hked．I bought it because of the flame”
…It s a most unusual frame．made of tiny．silvery sea．shells．ney are set in such a way that
they reflect perfect light onto the surface of a picture．I nOW have a photograph ofmy wife in that
frame．and I’lI never part with it．”
“When I returned to New Y0rk I showed the painting in its flame to a Customs offiPer．I toldhim that I had paid$140 for it but admitted I didn’t know its actual worth．The customs man valuedit at$140．andl was askedto pay duty onthat value．I did so．there andthen．”
later．I took off the frame．and that uncovered Maveleone’s signature．My wife suggested infun that the painting might be a valuable one．so I cleaned it and put it uD for sale．”
As a result of this explanation，Oliver Pitt had to appear in court．He was accused of knowinglymaking a false statement of the"calue of a picture so as to cheat the Customs Department．
Pitt was not happy．“I told the truth as I knew jt then．”he said．“What else could I say?”
And thell the judge agreed with him．“nle Customs Department is to blame。”he said．“for
making a true valuation of goods brought into the country．so山at the correct amount of duty may be
charged．Mr．Pitt did not cause or try to cause t}le mistake that was made．He paid the duty that
was demanded．If，now，the Customs Department finds that its valuafion was not eorree~．it cannotbe allowed to have another try．Pitt is not guilty(有罪)．”

Though“nanometer”(纳米)is UOW a hshionable term all over the world，few people know ex—actly what it is． It has become a new favorite of manufacturers and sellers in recent vears． Manv“high—tech”products bearing the name“nano”have entered the market，bringing more mvsterioujfeeling to surprised consumers． 。
Nanometer is a very small length unit of measure，and is very small．One nfillimeter is 1000
micrometers，and one micrometer is 1000 nanometers．That is。one nanometer is one billionth of ameter．Nanomaterials are solidmaterials composed of particles(粒子)or crystallites(晶体)ofless
than 100 nanometer in size．Then，is a cup made of nano material really any different from an 0rdi—nary cupinfunction asfar as howit works?
Are nano cups really so wonderful?A reporter went to the Institute of Nanomedicine．which isthe first such institute of such a SOrt in the world and the only one in China，speeializing in researc．hing the investigation of the application of nano technology into medicin0
A water molecule(分子)is composed of 2 hydrogen atoms and l oxygen atom．It can be
changed only by special working skillfully of the atoms．The material making up the cup can have
nanometer particles．
But it cannot change the chemical and physical properties of the water contained in it．The wa-
ter in the cup is still water．When people drink it，it will produce no special effect on human bedv．
Professor Ji who worked in the Institute of Nanomedicine told the reporter，so far．the investiga。tion of nano materials is still limited in the laboratory．No commercial micro products can be pro—dueed yet．With the present level of science and technology．the time of everydav goods made ofnanometer materials is still years awav．
The products labeled with nano marks in the market now are only traditional DrDducts coatedwith a thin layer of nanometer material，which makes them more abrasion resistant(耐磨)，mucheasier to be cleaned，or oil resisting or moth proof(防蛀)．
Professor Ji explained that nano cup is a real cup．It earl also be included jn the list of nan0
products in a eertaln sense．But the nano cup has not changed its prepe~y and function as a cup．It
is not a ma百cal medicine for curing and health care． ‘
52．What carl we learn aecording to the passage，
A．Millimeter is fl smaUer length unit compared with nanometer．
B．Nano products are very popular with consumt}rs．
C．The water contained in the nano cup is not quite difierent from the taD water．
D．A llano cup has a special function ‘
53．It can beinferredfromthe passagethat ．
A real nano products are being produced by some companies
B．nano materials have been put into use in dailv goods
C．the nano cupis very effectivein curing and health care
D．real HallO products haven’t become available for people
54．The underlined word“properties”in the fifth paragraph probably means
A．possessions B．reactions C．qualities D．symbols
55．What would be the best tide for the passage?
A．High—tech Products B．Nan0 Materials
c．Hi曲一teach Research D．Nano Cups
