Thousands of years ago man used handy rocks for his surgical ter he used sharp bone or
hom,metal knives andmore recently;rubber and plastic and that was where we stuck in surgical instrumentterms,for many years.In the1960s a new tool was developed,one which was,first of all,to be of greatpractical use to the anned forces and industry,but which was also,in time;to change greatly the art andscience of surgery.
The tool is a laser(激光)and it is being used by more an more surgeons all over the world.As we allknow;light is hot,any source of light——from the sun itself down to a simple match buming——will givewamth.But light is usually spread out over a wide area.The light in a laser beam(激光束),however isconcenrated(密集).This means that a light with no more power than that pro duced by an ordinary electriclight bulb becomes intensely strong as it is concentrated to a pinpoint-sized(针尖大小的)bearm.
Experiments with these pinpoint beams showed researchers that different energy sources producebeams that have a particular effect on certain living cells.It is now possible for eye surgeons to operate onthe back of human eye without harning the front of the eye,simply by passing a laser beam right throughthe eye-ball.No knives,no stitches(缝针),no unwanted damage——a true surgical wonder Operationswhich once made patients tired and in need of long period of recovery time now leave them feeling calmand comfortable.So much more difficult operations can now be tried.
The rapid development of laser techniques in the past ten years has made it clear that the future islikely to be very exciting.Perhaps some cancers will be treated with laser in a way that makes surgery notonly safer but also more effective.Altogether,tomorow may see more and more information coming tolight on the diseases which can be treatedmedically.
51.The instrments of surgical operations up until1960s can be described as_.
A.traditional
plicated
C.magical
D.revolutionary
52.what changes have taken place since the appearance of laser in the1960s?
A.Industrial revolution hasma de medical help available for industrial workers.
B.The research in study of art went through a complete revolution.
C.Surgery benefits greatly from the industrial revolution.
D.The methods in surgery for patients changed greatly.
53.The laser beam is very strong because_.
A.it is artificially lighted
B.it gives off heat in all directions
C.it contains a concentrated beam of the light
D.its temperature increase due to the heat of the sun
54.By applying the laser beam,surgeons can perform operations which-.
A.may make their patients suffer with negative effects
B.may take their patients a long time to recover
C.do little hamn to their patients
D.can only treat eye diseases
