From
school to band Practice, the Venturi Eclectic is an Earth-friendly way to get
where you want to go. This battery-powered, zero-emission (meaning it doesn't
pollute the air) vehicle runs mainly on renewable energy. Solar panels on the
Eclectic's roof absorb sun rays when you're driving. On windy days, you can
connect a machine to the car's roof that collects energy from the wind while
you're parked. The Eclectic's top speed is 28 miles an hour; the battery lasts
for 31 miles before it needs to be recharged. Zipping (迅速行进) around the neighborhood has never been better.
Here's
an eco-friendly way to tell time: Simply fill the Bedol Water-powered Clock's
tank (箱) with water, add some lemon juice, and the clock will
display the time without the need for environmentally harmful batteries. There
are two sets of metal electrodes (电极) inside the water
tank. Water contains ions (离子) that carry
negative and positive charges. These ions complete a charge between the
electrodes, creating enough energy to power the clock. Just refill the tank
every few weeks, and this clock will keep on ticking.

SuperSonic Car (SSC) will be the first car to attempt to break the
l,000-mile-an-hour barrier. (The current record is 763 miles an hour.) A
concept for now, the rocket-shaped car gets its original push to 350 miles an
hour from a jet engine. Then a rocket fires up, pushing the SSC past 1,000
miles an hour. In order to keep the car streamlined (流线型的), the driver lies back at a 45-degree angle (角度).Dick lived in England. One day in January he said to his wife, "I'm going to fly to New York next week because I've got some work there." "Where are you going to stay there?" his wife asked. "I don't know yet." Dick answered. "Please send me your address from there in a telegram (电报)," his wife said. "All right," Dick answered.
He flew to New York on January 31st and found a nice hotel in the center of the city. He put his things in his room and then he sent his wife a telegram. He put the address of his hotel in it.
In the evening he didn't have any work, so he went to a cinema. He came out at nine o'clock and said, "Now I'm going back to my hotel and have a nice dinner."
He found a taxi (出租车) and the driver said, "Where do you want to go?" But Dick didn't remember the name and address of his hotel.
"Which hotel are my things in?" he said, "And what am I going to do tonight?" But the driver of the taxi did not know. So Dick got out and went into a post office. There he sent his wife another telegram, and in it he wrote, "Please send me my address at this post office."
