Dear Carl，
I'm delighted to hear from you and I will tell you what you're curious about…
Square dance becomes more popular than anytime before．However，it's a little different from the dance you are familiar with．In the morning or after dinner，people，especially elderly women，will gather in squares to dance to popular music．More and more young people are also joining in now．
There are many reasons behind its popularity．First of all，China has made great progress in its social and economical development in the past decades，and people have more time and energy to enjoy themselves．Besides，doing the square dance is a good way for people to get fit．
However，because dancers play loud music and occupy lots of public places，they annoy many people．Maybe square dancers need to make some changes．
Yours，
Li Hua．

14．Some people are like homing pigeons； Drop them off anywhere．and they'll find their way around．Other people．through，can't tell holding a map upside down．Are the directionally challenged just bad learners？
Not all of your navigational（导航的）skills are learned．Research shows that your sense of direction is innate．An innate ability is something you are born with．Your brain has special navigational neurons--head-direction cells，place cells，and grid cells（网格细胞）--and they help program your inside compass when you're just a baby．
In 2010．scientists carried out an experiment to study baby rates'activity in their brains．Although the rats were newborns．the researchers discovered that their head-direction cells（which help them recognize the direction they're facing） were fully grown and developed．The rats．it seemed．were born with a sense of direction．And they hadn't even opened their eyes yet!
Humans．of course，are not rats．But the hippocampus--the brain we use for navigation--is similar in most mammals．If the rat's compass develops this way．then it's likely a human's compass does，too．
If we're born with a sense of direction．then why are some people so good at getting lost？The scientists found that the two other cells---place and grid cells--developed within the first month．Place cells are thought to help us form a map in our mind．while gird cells help us navigate new and unfamiliar places．The two cells work together，and that's where the trouble might be．
People who took part in a 2013study played a video game that required them to travel quickly between different places．Monitoring their brains．the scientists．According to researcher Michael Kahana，differences in how gird cells work may help explain why some people have a better sense of direction than others．

13．Eco-friendly Car Racer
Can you image a car racer is so eco-friendly that its tyres are made from potatoes，its body is created from hemp（大麻）and rapeseed oil and it runs on fuel made from wheat and sugar beet？The one-seater racing car called Eco One is built by experts from Warwick University，who hope that Eco One will be adopted by the automotive industry．It is sold at $51，000．

10．More than 40 years ago，John Willams gave away all of his belongings and went off to the mountains to live the way people lived 100 years ago．For food he traps wild animals，fishes in the rivers，and plants whatever he can．John lives in a cabin he made by hand，out of trees he chopped down with an ax．Though he has no relatives he knows of，he does have a deer he raised from a fawn．The deer lives in the house in the winter and goes with John when he goes into the forest for food．Nobody lives within fifty miles of his cabin in the mountains and John has not been out of the mountains during the entire forty years．One day last year I hiked in to see how John lives．It was like going back in time．There were no roads，no stores，no noise，no pollution，not even a post office．
Most notable of all，there were no people and that's just the way John Williams wants to keep his part of the world-without people．But there is a paradox in his story．John is an educated man．He has books and nobody knows how he got them．Mostly he reads about his world，the forest，the animals，the plants，and the mountains．He has seen airplanes flying overhead but does not want to know about them．For him，electricity is lightning，not light bulbs，refrigerators，televisions，or washing machines．John Williams is 85 years old and had not had a sick day in his life．He attributes his long life to the fact that it has nothing to do with people and in order that he might enjoy many more years of health，happiness，and solitude，I will not tell you where his kingdom lies．There is no room there for you or me．
