Passage 2
The Solar Roadway is an intelligent road that provides clean renewable energy using power from the sun, while providing safer driving conditions along with power. American inventors of the Solar Road said that it will power itself, and reduce the country’s carbon marks. Many panels(平板) are fixed on the Solar Road. The top of the Solar Road panels is made of glass and the inventors are working together with top glass researchers to develop super strong glass that would offer vehicles pulling power they need. The Solar Roadway creates and carries clean renewable electricity and, therefore, electric vehicles can be recharged at any rest stop, or at any business that uses solar road panels in their parking lots. Such parking lots will be safer at night with the light provided by LED within the road panels. The inventors say their solar roadway has many applications and advantages from main roads to driveways, parking lots, bike paths and runways.

| World' s Amazing Festivals El Colacho: The Baby-Jumping Festival In this festival, grown men jump over newborns, with their parents' permission. Wearing scary costumes, the Spanish men attempt to "clean" babies of evil. The town has observed the strange practice since 1620, and any onlookers (旁观者) who seem to be in need of a quick exorcism(~) are pulled into the event, as well. Hadakamatsuri : The Naked (裸露的) Festival This is a Japanese festival where participants wear little clothing. Naked Festivals are held in dozens of places throughout Japan every year, usually in summer or winter. Hidden somewhere in these men is one fully naked man. Touching him is believed to bring good luck. The Monkey Buffet (自助餐) Festival Every year, about 600 monkeys are invited to eat fruits and vegetables during an annual feast in Thailand. It is held in honour Rama, the greatest of the gods. It is said that Rama once rewarded his friend Hanuman, the Monkey King, with some land. Organizers of the annual Monkey Bullet use more than 3,000kg of fruits and vegetables to prepare for the festival. The Cheese Rolling Festival This event is held in England. Though it might sound very gentle, cheese-rolling is actually very dangerous. Running down a very steep hill behind a 7-pound wheel of cheese can be very dangerous. In fact, the police have attempted to ban the event, but participants have refused to carry out the ban. Men and their cheese wheels cannot be separated so easily. So what happens during a cheese roll? Simple: The cheese is set rolling down the hill, and the racers run down the hill after the cheese. However, as the cheese can reach speeds of up to 70 miles per hour, it rarely happens that someone catches the cheese. The first to reach the bottom wins the cheese.
