They were upset that their childs kindergarten teacher told them not to have high hopes for her. The teacher painted a bleak (暗淡的) picture for their little girls future. Standing behind them was Katherine, a beautiful five-year-old with long hair and dark eyes.

This was the scene in Zhu Zhou，Hunan Province on May 17. Nine people were killed and 16 injured. Things were similar in the Sichuan earthquake. Thousands of people were buried in the ruins and lost their lives. What if we could have warned them? People are always racking their wits to find a way of preventing buildings collapse. Better materials and technology help，but they are not a solution.Just like humans，a building has its own life cycle from “birth” to “death”If we know when a building is going to collapse，we can repair it in advance or get out of it before it falls. Now，scientists at the University of Illinois have developed a material that turns red before it breaks. The invention could be used in things like climbing ropes or bridge supports. The research was led by Nancy Sottos，a professor at the universitys Beckman Institute，and Douglas Davis，a graduate research assistant.The secret behind the colorchanging material is a type of molecule (分子)A molecule is a group of atoms held together by chemical bonds. Imagine you and your friends standing in a circle，holding hands. Each person stands for one atom，your hands represent the bonds，and the entire circle represents a molecule. If one person lets go of his or her hands，the molecule changes color. The research team put the molecule into a soft material. When the researchers stretched the material，it turned bright red for a few seconds before it broke into two pieces. When they repeatedly stretched and relaxed the material，without breaking it，it only turned a little red. The major problem is that light can get rid of the red color. When the team shone bright light on the molecule，the broken bond was fixed，and the color disappeared. Scientists have yet to do more research before the colorchanging molecules can be used outside the lab.32. What does the passage mainly introduce?A. The collapse of a large building in Zhu Zhou, Hunan Province.B. A type of molecule that can be put into a soft materialC. A material that turns red before it breaks.D. A way of preventing building from collapsing.33. The underlined words “racking their wits” in the third para
