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.
Time for School
Jill is sleeping in her bed when she hears a beep. The alarm (闹钟) tells her there is no more time to sleep. Her mum makes her breakfast, eggs, jam and toast. That's the breakfast that she likes the most. Jill brushes her teeth, then washes her face. Soon the school bus will get to her place. She grabs(抓) her backpack, and runs out the door. She'll get back home, right about four. |
