  一级重点 Seeing red Means Danger Ahead (C级)

  The color red often means danger —— and by paying attention, 1 can be prevented. At railroad crossings, flashing red lights warn cars to stay back. A red light at a traffic intersection tells cars to stop, so 2 don't run into other cars.
  In the future, the color red also may help prevent danger 3 construction sites. Thanks to new work by engineers, bridge supports — or other kinds of materials — could one day contain a color-changing material. It will turn red 4 a structure collapses or falls 5 . A tiny molecule may make a big difference in future warning systems.
  A polymer 6 a color-changing molecule called a mechanophore turns red seconds before it snaps. The technology may one day allow damage to materials or structures4 to be easily 7 .
  The secret behind the color-changing material is a particular type of molecule. A molecule is a group of atoms held together by 8 bonds. Molecules come in all shapes and sizes, and make up 9 you can see, touch or feel. How a molecule behaves depends on what kinds of atoms it contains, and how they're held together.
  When a polymer containing a color-changing molecule called a mechanophore is about to breaks, it produces a color. When a polymer with mechanophore molecules becomes "injured" or 10 , one of the mechanophore bonds breaks and the material turns red. "It's a really simple detection method," says Nancy Sottos, one of the scientists who worked on the project. "We're 11 up this one bond, and it changes color. " Sottos and her team tested the color-changing polymers in their lab. The test 12 proved encouraging.
  There is a way to get rid of6 the red color: 13 . When a bright light is shone on the mechanophore, the broken bond is fixed7- and the red color disappears. This "self-healing" may be a problem for engineers. They need to use the color-changer in big construction projects that will be 14 , in sunlight. And sunlight will make the mechanophore's warning system useless.
   Sottos and her fellow scientists still have 15 work to do before the color-changing molecules can be used outside the lab.

  看见红色意味着危险在前方
  红色常常表示危险,通过引起注意能够防止意外。在铁路交叉口,闪烁的红灯警告车辆靠后。在交通十字路121的红灯告诉车辆停止前进,所以就不会发生车祸。
  在未来,建筑工地的红色可能也可以防止危险。多亏了工程师的新作和桥梁支柱等其他的材料,它们有一天能包含一种会变换颜色的物质,该物质能够在建筑物倒塌或之前变成红色。一个小小的分子就会对报警系统起到很大影响。
  一个聚合物包含一种变换颜色的分子叫做机械响应性聚合物,它能够在在聚合物断裂前几秒钟变成红色。这项技术能够很容易地发现材料或建筑物的损坏。
  这个变换颜色的物质的秘密就是一种特别的分子。一个分子是由化学键把一群原子组合起来。分子有各种各样的形状和大小,所以能够组成你所见到的、摸到的和感觉到的任何东西。一个分子怎样表现取决于它包含什么样的原子,和他们被怎样组合起来。
  当包含变换颜色分子的机械响应性聚合物要断裂的时候,它会产生一种颜色。当一个包含机械响应性聚合物分子的聚合物“受损害”或者变弱的时候,其中的一个机械响应性聚合物键破碎,这个物质变成红色。“这是一个很简单的检测方法。”Nancy Sottos说,她是为这个项目工作的科学家之一。Sottos和她的团队在他们的实验室测试这种变换颜色的聚合物,测试的结果非常鼓动人心。
  有一种方法可以除去红色:光。当强光照射在机械响应性聚合物上,断裂的键被修复——红色就会消失。这种“自我修复”或许给工程师们带来问题。他们需要在露天的,也就是暴露在阳光下的大建筑工程外面使用换色器。阳光会使机械响应性聚合物的报警系统不起作用。
  要让这些变色分子在实验室以外也能使用,Sottos和她的同事们还有许多工作要做。
