Imagine a fantastic fan that operates without traditional blades(扇叶), a smart pizza box that can turn into convenient plates, and a beautiful garden growing on a wall. Let's explore these cool inventions!

A Safer Electric Fan

Over 130 years ago, the electric fan with blades was invented. Now, Dyson has created a new type of fan without blades. This fan is safer and easy to clean. It marks a huge improvement in fan technology.

An Environment-friendly Pizza Box

The green box is a special pizza box that can be used again. It reduces waste. The top half of the box divides into four plates. People don't need extra(额外的)paper plates. The bottom of the box can be folded in half and used to hold remains.

William Walsh invented the green box. His friends often ate pizza, but they never used plates. One day, a friend spilled(溢出)hot cheese on his shirt. Walsh used a piece of the box as a plate.

A Living Wall

How does your garden grow? Gardens by Patrick climb the walls. They are called straight gardens. The gardens grow on buildings around the world. One of these gardens, with around 260 plant types, is growing on a hotel in London, England. What's special is that the plants don't grow in soil. Their roots are connected to a type of cloth. Water is passed through the cloth to keep them healthy.

Little Mechanic Helps Stop an Accident

Ten-year-old Larry Champagne from St. Louis, Missouri, saved many students on board from disaster. On the way to school, the school bus driver suddenly fell ill. Seeing the bus was running away, the other kids started to scream, but Larry ran to the front and pressed the brake pedal (刹车踏板). Larry is something of a mechanic (技工) He often helps his neighbor work on his old truck and he knows where to find the brakes. 

Rain or shine, Zhong Jing opens the door of her clinic in the village no later than 7: 30 a. m. clinic day. The clinic is the only place where the villagers can see a doctor. And the locals treat her as one of their own. But fourteen years ago, when the young doctor appeared in the village in Guizhou Province to set up practice, she ran into a wall of distrust. 

Write a Letter to an Animal

Every morning, Amanda Clark checks on the cows, pigs and dogs on the farm located in Pennsylvania, US Because of some uncertain reasons, the farm has been lonely for a long time. The animals have been missing visitors. Clark came up with a good idea to connect these animals with people. She posted the animals' basic information online. And people could visit the farm's website and choose an animal to write to. 

 阅读下面语篇,从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中,选出各题的最佳选项。

Whether we're young or old,rich or poor,we have one thing in common:The moon always looks down at each of us when it lights up the night sky. 

Just like a mirror,the moon reflects the sun's light. It can also reflect people's feelings. This is probably why the moon is always popular among Western and Chinese music,poems and other forms of literature. So when we look at the moon,what exactly do we see looking back at us?

Well,that depends on who's looking. 

The ancient Greek poet(古希腊诗人) Sappho,for example,saw the moon as a woman who lit up space with her beauty. 

Later in England,however,the moon's image(形象) was completely different. In the Middle Ages,English people often drank to get away from difficult life. In their eyes,the moon was a man who liked drinking. In London,at least three pubs(酒馆) were named Man in the Moon. It's probably because the bright moon at night looks like a man's red face after drinking. A popular song sung in the pubs at that time even went,"Our man in the moon drinks wine…"

__▲__ Chinese Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai's Quiet Night Thought reads,"I look up to the mountain moon,and then I look down and think of home. " Similarly,Zhang Jiuling wrote in another poem,"Looking at the moon and thinking of one far away. " So in Chinese culture,when people look at the moon,they may miss their hometown and someone. Very interesting,right?
