　　On a small farm in Mexico,there are no schools．A bus is the school．The driver of the bus is the teacher．It's a school bus，but it doesn't take the children to school．It just goes round from place to place，and sometimes it comes to this farm．The bus will stay here for three months．The farmers call it a school on wheels．

　　Every time when the bus conies．the farmers will come running to it，shouting and laughing．They warmly welcome the school bus．

　　When the bus is on the farm，in the morning．the teacher teaches the small children．In the afternoon，the bigger children come to have their lessons because they must work in the morning．At night，the fathers and mothers come to school．They want to learn，too．How the farmers hope that some day they can have a real school on their farm!

　　Cars for Tomorrow

　　A kind of little cars may someday take the place of(代替) today's big ones．People will like this kind of small cars more and more．The car is as small as a bike but can carry two people in it．Everybody can drive them to schools and parks．

　　If everyone drives such cars in the future，there will be less pollution(污染) in the air．There will also be more space(空间) for all the cars in cities，and the streets will have more space for people to walk．Three such cars can fit in the space now needed for one car of the usual size．

　　The little cars of the future will cost much less money to own and to drive．These little cars can go only 65 kilometers an hour，so driving will be safer，too．The cars of the future will be fine for getting around city，but they will not be useful for a long trip．This kind of cars can save a lot of gasoline(汽油)．They will go 450 kilometers before needing to stop for more gasoline．

　　If big cars are still used along with the small ones，two sets of roads will be needed in the future．Some roads will be needed for the big，fast cars and other roads will be needed for the slower，small ones．

　　There are about 115 million cell phones in use in the United States and more than 6 million in New York State．

　　“To think that I'm not going to use cell phone when at the same time I can still use my laptop(手提电脑)，I still can read a paper，I can still change my pants while driving at 65 mph．I think there's just something wrong,”an official said．
