A Solar-powered Plane---Lowcarbon
Earlier this month, a solar-powered (太陽(yáng)能動(dòng)力的)plane called Lowcarbon took off to the sky for the first time. It has passed an important test on the way to travel around the world.
Lowcarbon took off from an airport in Switzerland(瑞士)at 45 km an hour. It slowly rose into the sky.
“There has never been an airplane so big, so light, using so little energy,” said Bertrand Piccard, a leader of the project.
During the 90-minute flight, Lowcarbon did several turns. It climbs nearly 1.6 km above the countryside.
Engineers plan to test a night flight in July. Then they will use the results of the tests to build a second plane. They plan to travel around the world in that plane in 2012. “We want to fly it day and night with no fuel,” Piccard said.
Piccard and pilot Andre Borschberg will take Lowcarbon around the world .They will make a few stops to change places and rest after a long time in the air----and to show off their aircraft.
Lowcarbon flies at 70 kph on average(平均). That is faster than a bike and slower than a car. The pilots will keep it in the air for up to five days at a time.

Today Newtown is a clean place, but many years ago there were millions of rats there. The rats even attacked (攻擊 ) the cats and dogs. Sometimes many of them tried to bite men or women at night. The rats were very large in size and they harmed (傷害 ) many people.
The city office ordered every one to kill rats. However, most people were lazy, so they did not kill many rats. The city office could do nothing with the citizens and could do nothing with the rats, either. Some time later, they had to pay some money for each dead rat. That made the people very happy. They at once began to kill rats. They got as many dead rats as they could. And some of them even stopped their own work to kill rats because they could get more pay. Every day a city official(官員 ) put all the dead rats together. He was very busy doing that, because sometimes a man brought hundreds of them in one day. Two weeks later, there were not so many rats in the city as before,  but people still brought many dead rats to the city office. The city officials felt surprised at this but at last they found out people were stealing the dead rats they had collected.

Dear Disney,
Last weekend, the four members of my family   spent an enjoyable holiday at the Magic Kingdom - Disneyland. And one event   made our visit seem truly magical. We got to the front of the line at Space   Mountain, only to find out that our little daughter Gloria couldn't take her   ice-cream on the ride. We were so excited that we all forgot ice-cream was   not allowed on the ride.

Gloria broke into tears and we all had no idea what to do.   Then Murphy, one of the staff(員工) members, came over. She bent down and   told Gloria that she would hold the ice-cream for her and give it to her when   she finished the ride. Gloria said, "Promise?" Then she gave Murphy   her ice-cream, and she completely enjoyed the ride.
Sure enough, as we walked out the exit, there   was Gloria's new friend with "her" ice-cream. Now you and I both   know what happened, because we know that an ice-cream won't last twenty minutes   on a summer afternoon in Florida. Murphy knew' what time we would get off the   ride; she went to the nearest shop and bought a brand-new ice-cream thirty   seconds before we walked out the exit. Gloria said, "Thank you,"   but I'm sure she thought it was the same ice-cream.
We know that someone tried hard to make   our visit special. Thanks so much for going above and beyond!
Your fan,
Carmen Rivera
