Some people want to be shot into space aftertheir death, others want to lie deep under the sea.But most people want to go into the freezer(冷藏库).These are believers in cryogenics(低温冷冻学).
Now some diseases can’t be cured, but they maybe cured sometime in the future. So some peoplehope that their bodies can be frozen after they die.When a cure is found, warm up his or her body,bring it back to life and take the cure. Once the bodyis frozen, it is kept in liquid nitrogen(液态氮) at atemperature of 328 degrees below zero.
Now around a thousand people are going to take cryogenic treatment(处理), though mostscientists say it won’t work. If we freeze huge creatures(生物) like humans, every one of theircells(细胞) will be broken. Can they be brought back to life in the future?

参考答案与解析：
【文章大意】有些人死后想被发射到太空去，有些人想被深埋在海底之下，但多数人想要被低温冷冻。现在有些疾病不能治疗，但到了将来它们可能会被治好。于是有些人希望死后尸体能被冷冻起来，等找到了治疗方法，再让他们复活。尽管大多数科学家认为这种方法不起作用，还是有1,000多人准备接受低温冷冻。
7. In the freezer.
8. They hope that they can come back to life one day.
9. They usually keep it in liquid nitrogen at a temperature of 328 degrees below zero.
