1. Scientist have demonstrated that the physical, chemical and biological properties of matter a. will change at the macroscopic level b. will change at the microscopic level c. will change at the nanoscopic level d. The properties of atoms never change

2. In 2006 it was requested to USA goverment, over $1.2 billion for nanotechnology. It is expected to be $1 trillion by 2015. Why do you think goverments are inclined to support nanotechnology at such cost?

Essay 3. In United States some people complaint about the distribution of the money in the national budget and how the tax money is used in areas that do not bring any apparent benefit to the people, specially to the population living in poverty level.
