       If you're tired of spending money like water on gas,maybe you'd just rather spend money on water.
That's what you'll be doing if a Japanese company has its way.
       A company called Genepax has invented the first practical car to run only on water. The company
says putting just a litre(升) of water is enough to keep its car going for 60 minutes at a speed of 80
kilometers an hour. And forget about finding a gas station when you're running on empty. "The car will
continue to run as long as you have a bottle of water to fill from time to time," Genepax CEO Kiyoshi
Hirasawa said.
       According to the company, the water gets poured into a tank(籍) at the back of the car and uses a
generator(发电机) to break it down and tum it into electrical (电的) power.
       Genepax can't say yet when you'll be taking one of their cars for aride,but they hope it will one day
water down your need to ever visita gas station again.

       Ask any student which subject he or she hates most. 9 out of 10 students will answer "math". No
matter which country you visit, no matter which grade you are in, you may not learn art, geography,
chemistry or Chinese, but you always learn math. Why is this so? How come so many students hate math,
and yet cannot avoid learning it in school?
       Jenny Sanders, a high school student in California, asks, "What good do we get from learning math?
We can use computers to compute numbers, and we can use computers to store information. I think
learning math at school is a waste of time."
       However, there is much more to math than just learning to add and subtract (减) numbers. In fact,
math is not so much about calculation (计算) as it is about learning to think logically (逻辑地) and solving
  problems. Of course, Jenny was right that we can use computers to do calculations, but how would we
even know how to use the computer if we can't think logically? In short, computers are only tools when
solving problems.
       For example, imagine you are a cook and must serve dinner to 100 guests. How should you divide
your resources so that you can get the job done most efficiently (高效地)? In situations like this, the
ability to think logically will get you to a reasonable answer and solve your problem.

While in bed we must not cover our heads. If we do, our lungs(肺) will not get enough fresh air. If we open our windows at night, we can have plenty of fresh air. Cool air is better than warm air.
