A small cloud moves slowly through the air in a hospital operating room （手术室）.In the room a patient with cancer（癌症），lies on a table.The cloud is all around the patient，covering her body and filling her lungs（肺）.The cloud is not smoke.It is made of millions of nano﹣robots（纳米机器人）.These tiny robots move from cell （细胞） to cell in the patient's body，killing the cancer.
Fighting cancer with nano﹣robots is only an idea today，but scientists say that it could be possible in the future.Using nano﹣robots for good purposes such as fighting the illness or repairing the environment may be the way to many of today's problems.
However，nano﹣robots could be a dangerous risk as well.Because nano﹣robots are so tiny，they will have to work in large teams of many thousands to many millions.For this reason，nano﹣robots will have to be programmed（被编程）to build themselves.Scientists will not have the ability to build millions of nano﹣robots one by one.
This ability to re﹣produce is making some scientists worried.What will happen if something goes wrong in the programming？Quite a lot of crazy nano﹣robots would be far worse than any illness.Some people think that if they get out of control，nano﹣robots could make the Earth gone.
What should be done？Should we continue researching nano﹣robots or should we search for other methods？This is one of the many difficult decisions that we have to make in the future.

What would the future life be like? I think we will be able to travel faster and safer around the world and into space. Maybe one day we can work in Beijing, sleep in Chengdu and visit the moon for a holiday.
We will have new energy(能源)that doesn’t make pollution. Possibly, people will find ways to use cleaner things, such as sea water, to make energy without polluting the earth.
We will have machines that can copy(复制) everything in the future. Put a cake on the machine and it makes a new one. If the machine is like a fax machine(传真机), we can send food and gifts to our friends easily.
We will have clever robots that work for us, and then bring us useful things and take away our rubbish(垃圾). Now we have to press(按) a key or type a word to make a machine work. But in the future, if we think of something, the machine can make it for us. The machine can understand our ideas.
We will be able to go into computer games and films, and everything will feel real. We will be able to make our homes like forests (森林)or sunny beaches or anything we want. Perhaps, one day we will be able to collect our dreams and put them on DVDs.
