Nowadays, as the society develops, the need of fuel is getting larger and larger. How can we get more and cheaper fuel? One company in New Jersey is developing a special way to get low-cost bio-fuels(生物燃料)from sugar, an importang part for getting ethanol (乙醇).

In order to make bio-fuels cheaper, the company called Proterro, is trying to cut the cost of making sugar. The company is getting photosynthetic microorganisms (光合微生物) to produce large amounts of sugar, and it is designing a special way to grow the microorganisms using small amounts of water.

photosynthetic microorganisms, such as algae(藻类), are usually thought that it can produce oils. Proterro paid so much attention to making sugar because bio-fuel ethanol is mainly from it, and it’s also the starting point for new ways of making other types of bio-fuels.

Today, almost all of the sugar for bio-fuels is made from corn or sugarcane(甘蔗),and several companies are trying more ways to make sugar from other plants such as grass and trees. “But we’ve just got the beginning to make bio-fuels; sugar is still expensive,”says Kef kasdin, Proterro’s CEO. Only sugar from sugarcane is cheap enough, and that can only be grown inexpensively in some places, such as Brazil.

When I was young, I was very naughty. And I often made some trouble. Some people didn't like me, but I didn't know the reason until my grandfather took me to the fishpond(养鱼塘) on the farm. He asked me to throw a stone into the water. I did what I was asked. Then my grandfather told me to watch the waves made by the stone. Moments later, he asked me to think of myself as that stone.

  "You may make a lot of splashes(浪花)in your life, but remember the waves that come from those splashes will affect the peace of all your friends beside you," he said."Remember that you are responsible for what you throw into your circle. and that your waves will touch many other circles. Always try to live in a way that allows the good that come from your circle to send the peace of your goodness to other circles. Remember the waves that come from anger and jealousy(嫉妒)will send those feelings to other circles.You are responsible for all the waves." That was the first time I realized each preson creates the inner prece or anger that flows out into the world. We cannot create world peace if we have hatred and anger.

 We show the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside, whether we tell them or not. Whatever is inside of us is flowing out into the world and touching all the other circles of life. We must remember that we aren't single, so we must be responsible for everyone beside us.
