Inventions have the power to change our world. Some inventions are designed for work. Some are just for fun. Others can help people and the planet. Every year, Time magazine shares its best inventions of the year. Below you can read about five of these inventions to learn what's special about each of them.
A | Have you ever experienced a traffic jam during your way to school? Have you ever imagined how fun it would be to fly to school? This Iron Man-style suit from a British company could make your dreams come true.The suit allows users to fly just like Iron Man. Wearers can take off vertically (垂直地) and fly through the air. |
B | Food, water and shelter (居所) are basic human needs. But there are 1.2 billion people in the world who don't have a proper house to live in, according to the World Resources Institute. The 3D-printed houses made by ICON in Austin may help to solve this problem. |
C | People in some of the world's most remote (偏远的) places can't get important medical products like vaccines (疫苗). But thanks to drones(无人机), this will no longer be a problem. It takes them about 15 to 30 minutes to send medical products to people in need. |
D | Smog is a silent killer. It can cause diseases that harm our lungs. US company 3M has created a new material for roofing shingles (屋顶瓦片). The material makes use of the sun to fight smog. When sunlight hits the roof, the material on the roof is activated (被激活). It then changes harmful particles in smog into water-soluble ions (水溶性离子). Later, the ions can be washed away by rain. |
E | James P Allison from the US and Japanese researcher Tasuku Honjo discovered a new kind of cancer treatment that earned them the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in October. The new treatment can make our immune systems (免疫系统) strong enough to effectively fight cancer cells. It is hoped that this treatment can be used to treat most cancers in the future. |
You probably don't think about soil often, but the following report may help you learn about science of soil.
What is soil made of?
Soil is made of sediments (沉积物) and humus(腐殖质). Sediment is small pieces of rock broken down over time by rain, ice, and wind. Sediment is often found in water. Humus comes from decayed(腐烂的) plants and animals. It helps give plants a lot of the food they need to grow.
How does soil form?
Over centuries, rock breaks down into very small pieces.
The rock pieces mix with humus.
The humus gets thicker and thicker over time. Soil is formed(形成)l
How are soils different?
Soils can be different colors and have different textures(质感). Texture is how the surface of an object feels. Color and texture are two features(特征) of soil.
Plants and soil
Plants do not grow well in some soils. Sandy soi1 is too dry. It does not hold water. Soil with too much clay is too thick. Most plants grow well in dark, rich garden soil that has different sediments and a lot of humus in it.

Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Noise pollution makes us talk more loudly and become angry more easily. Water pollution makes our rivers and lakes very dirty. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. Both water pollution and air pollution are not only dangerous to our health, but also dangerous to animals and plants.
Many countries are making new laws to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before they throw it away. They can not let out dirty smoke into the air, either. More and more cars are now using a new kind of fuel(燃料) which does not pollute the air.
Laws are not enough. We must all help. We can use paper bags, not plastic ones. We can keep old cans and plant flowers in them. Everybody must help to fight pollution because we can keep our country clean.
