  It’s not the flashiest car in the world.Not even close.But the 1971 Volkswagen named Helios can do something most cars can’t :run on solar energy-energy from the sun’s light and head!

  Joshua Bechtold, 14,and the other students at the Riverside School in Lyndonville, Vermont, worked many months to get Helios ready.They named their car after Helios, the sun god in Greek mythology(神话).

  The 4-year-old Tour de Sol encourages the use of “green”, or environmen-tally friendly, cars to help reduce pollution and save energy.It’s not a race.Cars are judged on fuel efficiency(耗油量)rather than speed.In the week-long event, 44 cars took the 350-mile tour from Waterbury, Connecticut, to Lake George, New York.Of the 23 student cars, Helios was the only one built by middle school students.

  A teacher drove Helios, but the children talked with people wherever they stopped along the road.“That was my favorite part,” says Anna Browne,15.“We explained how the car runs.”

  Due in part to old, inefficient batteries(电池),Helios finished fourth-out of four-in its kind, the sun-powered class.“We were there for the fun of it,” Anna says, “We’re proud of Helios,”says Ariel Gleicher, 14.“It’s a car that’s good for the environment.”

Dear Editor,

  Brockingham is run by people who are more interested in tourists than its residents.The problem is that the people running the government refuse to accept new ideas.By banning(禁止)all fast-food restaurants and discount stores, they take away all the places kids can afford to shop.

  These people forget that when they were young, they could go to the South Street Soda Fountain and get an ice-cream soda for 25 cents.Today you can’t find an ice-cream soda anywhere in Brockingham for less than $2! Where can kids go for a snack?

  There is not a single restaurant in Brockingham where a family of four can eat dinner for less than $100.Add a 15% tip and sales tax and you have spent nearly $125 to eat a meal you could prepare at home for about $12.Have you noticed that Brockingham families never dine in Brockingham?

  Fast-food restaurants are also a good place for school kids to get an after-school job.Fast-food restaurants are busiest during the early supper hours when students are able to work, whereas the fancy food restaurants cater to late-night diners.Working in one of these establishments requires working shifts that are too late for most students.

  The City Council claims that local businessmen, rather than national chains, should benefit from the tourist business.I agree that it is important to support local businesses, but I think the fast-food restaurants would encourage more people to shop in Brockingham.

  Another thing that disturbs me is that we must travel 25 miles to the nearest discount store.If I need a tire for my bike, I have a choice of buying one at Surf and Peddle Sport Shop for $15 or driving to Parkersburg Discount Center where I can buy the same kind of tire for $9.Again, I think the ban on all food chains and discount houses is counterproductive for our city.

If a new idea in America becomes a law, people who suffer from obesity (肥胖症)could suffer financially too. The proposal (建议) aims to encourage people to be healthy.

The US state of Arizona wants to charge overweight citizens $ 50 (325 yuan) annually if they fail to follow their doctor’s advice. People with children or who are overweight because they suffer from a medical condition would be exempt(被豁免的). If the idea is approved by Congress, smokers and diabetics who fail to stick to a healthy lifestyle will also have to pay.

Medicaid, the organization which provides healthcare to the poor in the USA, costs the government $ 339 bn (2.2 trillion yuan) a year. Monica Coury, assistant director at Arizona’s Medicaid program, said that this proposal would ask people to give something back.

She said that Arizona would take a carrot and stick approach to the problem. As well as penalizing(惩罚) people who go against their doctor’s wishes, incentives (奖励) would be offered for following advice, possibly a keep-fit video. Arizona’s senator Kyrsten Sinema has not backed the plans, saying that there isn’t a system to decide whether someone is or isn’t following medical advice. Other critics claim that people don’t need the government to look after them; if they want to be fat and smoke, the “nanny state” shouldn’t try to stop them. Wes Benedict of the Libertarian Party said: “If you want to save the state money, cut Medicaid across the board, but don’t single out overweight people and smokers.”
