（B）The Foldscope
Every year millions of people, especially in low-income countries, die from diseases because their doctors cannot identify what is making them sick.
These diseases are caused by germs and other creatures that are too ( 5 ) to see.

Recently, however, a scientist in the United States, Manu Prakash, came up with a possible solution to this problem.
This is an invention called the Foldscope.
The Foldscope is a microscope made out of folded paper with a small light, lens, and battery inserted into it.
By using the Foldscope, it is possible to make something appear about 2,000 times its actual size.
Doctors can use it to examine a patient's blood sample.
In this way, they can ( 7 ) what is wrong.
The Foldscope has many advantages over normal microscopes.
It is very easy to use and people can attach a smartphone to take photographs of the sample.
Moreover, it is very tough and will not break even if it is dropped.
( 8 ), it is very cheap. One costs only about 50 cents.
The Foldscope is now being tested in three countries.
Experts hope that, if found effective, this invention will save millions of lives in poor countries.
