the fastest electric vehicle

教学资源，完全免费，无须注册，天天更新！" type="#_x0000_t75">last week an electric and speed vehicle designed by a ohio state university’s undergraduate, set new us and international land speed records for electric vehicles—308 mph and 271 mph respectively.

housingin rural areas the floors of dwellings consist of pounded earth or concrete, or else of raised wood floors, while wooden framing supports walls of woven bamboo matting, and the roofs are of dried palm fiber or tiles.in urban areas floors are of cement or tile, the framing of the dwellings is of teak, the walls are of brick and plaster, and the roofs of tile or shingle.although most of the population is nonurban, the major housing problems are in the cities, where new arrivals crowd into squalid slums.in their desire to escape the restraints of the traditional rural life and seek the opportunities of the cities, most immigrants find living conditions that are less attractive than those of the country.jakarta is the most modern city in indonesia and also the one with the greatest problems.it lacks a dependable supply of electricity, gas, and water, an adequate telephone system, a waste-disposal system, and adequate school and health facilities.there is a severe housing shortage, with the gap being filled by substandard, temporary housing that does not require building permits.subsidized housing is provided largely by employers, including government ministries, for a limited number of key employees, although efforts by the government are being made to provide more low-cost housing to a wider group of people.12345678910

life in 2060let us suppose it is now about a.d.2060.let’s make believe it is about sixty years from now①.of course, things have changed and life is very different.voyages to the moon are being made every day.it is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in europe.at a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built.the hotels are air conditioned, naturally.in order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window.everything imaginable is provided for entertainment (娱乐) of young and old.what are people eating now?people are still eating food.they haven’t yet started to take on heir (继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power.they may some day.but many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.　since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet’s surface has to be filled.the deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests.the harvest is always good.farming, of course, is very highly developed.very few people have to work on the farm.it is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then②.people are now largely vegetarians (素食者).you see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases.therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases.no one has to be ill any more.such would be our life in 2060.注释..................① let’s make believe it is about sixty years from now.让我们假设现在是大约60年以后。词组make believe的意思是“假装; 虚构”。② it is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.只是通过不时按几个按钮来管理整个农场已成为可能。

machine dreams!a deskless future?in an, interview, ray kurzweil, who helped invent the it present, explains how humans fit into the it future: the impact of automation on jobs, biotechnology, slowing the aging process, brain enhancement, etc.there won’t be computers on desks.we’ll eliminate most of that clutter, certainly by the end of this decade.future technology will be very mobile; it’ll be so small that it’ll be virtually invisible.everybody will be online.images will be written right to our retinas.and eventually, we’re going to have software processes running close to our bodies and, ultimately, inside our bodies, in our brains.12345678910

it reminded me of an article i read two weeks ago in the financial times(“the office is future-proof”, ) explaining what our future office would be like.according to journalist fiona harvey, 50 years ago, computers were kept in huge back-rooms, but in 50 years’ time, things will be much the same.computers will be far away from the office they serve, in silos on the outskirts of cities, like power plants.the silos will run very powerful versions of the databases and processing software.from their desks, people would plug into these applications on unobtrusive screens, and communicate with colleagues by live videos.

system to mind your pupil size while you drivethe future of drivers doesn’t look very rock & roll.sweden volvo wants to introduce a new safety system able to detect and signs of drowsiness in truck drivers.the system was fitted to volvo’s experimental safety truck.

developed by seeing machines, face lab system relies on a camera fitted inside the truck’s cab that scans the driver’s retina and monitors head movement.by counting the number of blinks per minute as well as the distance between eyes lids, it can automatically detect signs of fatigue in the truck driver.when the driver starts to nod off, a warning message appears on the driver’s console, the seat vibrates and small white strobe lights flash away.the device is also able to detect lapses in concentration.so if the driver stared straight ahead for too long, it would trigger an alarm.the system will eventually be able to detect if the truck is approaching another vehicle too fast or wandering across the road rather than staying in lane.12345678910
