29、es the wait,his or her body often rejects theheart.But there is now new hope forsufferers of heart disease.According to a studypublishedin the journal Advanced Science, researchers from Israel s Tel Aviv University printed a 3D human heart on April 15.“This is the first time anyone anywhere has succ

30、essfully engineered and printed anentire heart, “ professor Tal Dvir told CNN.Unlike the previous 3D-printed heart structure, the new heart is complete with cells, blood vessels, chambers and other structures a heart needs to function normally. But scientists still have more to figure out before the

31、 3D-printed heart can be fitted into the body. For one thing, the experimental heart is only the size of a thumb. And, although it can contract like a muscle, it cannot pump out blood like a real one. At present, the heart prototype is like a tiny airplane that has all of the right parts,but can t f

32、ly.However, the development is still regarded as a major breakthrough in medicine.In the experiment, the researchers turned human fat tissue into human heart tissue with stem cell technology. The tissue was then turned into “ bio - ink ” for a 3D printerto ensure that tissue in the heart came from t

33、he patients themselves. So ideally, if itwere to be placed in the body of someone in need of a transplant, there would be less risk of organ rejection. “ Patients will no longer have to wait for tran splants or take medications to prevent their rejection, ” researchers told USAToday. “ Instead, the

34、needed heart will be printed, fully personalized for everypatient. ”But the scientists think that 3D printing can be used to create other human organs. They foresee atime when the 3D printing of organs will be an everyday medical practice.Maybe, in 10years, there will be organ printers in the finest

35、 hospitals around the world and theseprocedures will be conducted routinely, “ Dvir said.28. Why do scientists have to do further research before fitting the 3D-printed heart into the body?A. Because the heart is incomplete.B. Because the heart can t pump out blood.C. Because the heart is an airplan

36、e that canfly.D. Because the heart can t contract lik e a muscle.29. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. The needed heart will be printed to meet everypatient s need.B. The 3D printing of organs will be an unusual medical practice.C. Dvir has a negative attitude towards the future of

37、organ printers.D. Patients will need medicines to stop their rejection for their heart transplant.30. What can serve as the best title for the passage?A. Organ printers in the hospitals.B.
