The world’s first “Sky Pool” has been uncoated(曝光)-and it’ll give anyone a touch of dizziness(眩晕),unless he or she is not bothered by heights.
Situated in the capital’s new riverside district beside Battersea Power Station,the glass pool,hanging 10 storeys, or 110 feet up as a bridge between two apartment buildings,is 25m long,5m wide and 3m deep with a water depth of 1.2m.Swimmers will be able to look down 35 meters to the street below as they take a dip,with only 20cm of glass between them and the outside world.It’s even got a bar,folding chairs and an orange garden.
The pool will be part of Embassy Gardens at Nine Elms,a huge￡15 billion building project beside the new American Embassy in south-west London.The project is creating thousands of apartments,the smallest of which are expected to cost nearly $1 million,and the pool will only be open to the apartments’ owners.
Embassy Gardens takes design inspiration from the Meatpacking District of New York with floor to ceiling windows and brick frontages.The designer,Sean Mulryan,desired to push the boundaries in the capability of construction and engineering and do something that had never been done before.The Sky Pool’s transparent structure is the result of significant advancements in technologies over the last decade.
The experience of the pool will be truly unique and it will feel like floating through the air in central London.

Every day,people come into contact with thousands of chemicals.These chemicals are said to be harmless to human health.In fact,the chemicals are considered so safe that we wash with them.We put them on our bodies and even our faces.Other chemical products are used throughout our homes.
By the time you walk out of your front door,you have already been exposed to thousands of chemicals.
On its own,each chemical seems harmless.But in combination with other chemicals,they may become deadly. That is the finding of a two-year study by a high-profile(高调的)task force of scientists.The task force was told to investigate the cancer-causing possibility of chemical mixtures.
Linda Gulliver was one of the 174 scientists on the task force.Their job was to study the cancer-causing potential of 85 chemicals.All 85 are said to be common in the environment.
Ms.Gulliver explains that chemicals have the potential or ability to form dangerous mixtures.Even simple minerals can become dangerous when mixed with chemicals found in plastics or beauty products.
Working in groups,the scientists explored how different chemical mixtures could lead to cancer.Ms.Gulliver’s team looked at the ability of different combinations to support the increase of malignant(恶性的)human cells.
She says the current way to identify whether chemicals cause cancer is to test them one at a time.This method leads,she adds,to a long list of supposedly “safe” chemicals.She and her team say that approach needs to change.
“We definitely need certain research...to find out what mixtures of chemicals would be more harmful than others; what groups of chemicals,when together,would produce more harmful effects.And at the moment,that is not known.”
An estimated one in five cancers has been linked to chemical exposure.It may turn out that the cancer-causing villain(恶棍)is not a single chemical at all.
32.What effect may one single chemical have on us according to the text?
A.It may destroy our body. B.It may not cause danger to us.
C.It may let us suffer from cancer. D.It may let our body make a change.
33.What can we learn about Ms.Gulliver’s research?
A.She has found 85 cancer-causing chemicals.
B.She has found reasons for five kinds of cancers.
C.She has found that only one chemical can cause cancer.
D.She is not sure what mixtures of chemicals are more harmful.
34.According to the text,we can infer that the study .
A.is just wasting time and money B.is still in need of great efforts
C.will cause panic in public D.will be resisted by the public
35.What is the best title for the text?
A.Mixtures of Safe Chemicals May Cause Cancer B.Being Exposed to One Chemicals Is Dangerous
C.How Mixtures of Safe Chemicals Come into Being? D.What Is the Real Cause For Cancer?
