Cars powered by gasoline were sold for many years before hybrid vehicles that use gasoline, electricity, and solar energy, Car companies are now making cars that are fully powered by electricity only. How do these electric cars measure up to (符合标准) traditional gasoline cars?

Electric and gasoline vehicles look similar on the outside. They have very different parts under their hoods. though. Electric cars have one main moving part: the motor. But gas cars literally have hundreds of parts, often requiring frequent maintenance (保养). Having fewer parts makes the electric car cheaper to maintain and less likely to have mechanical problems.

Electric vehicles are energy efficient, also making them cheaper to operate. It costs about $1. 00 to travel 43 miles in an electric car, which is a clear contrast to a gas car, which costs about $1. 25 to go 18 miles. Basically, an electric car can go twice as far as a gas car for the same price.

Electric vehicles do not have tailpipe emissions, making them more friendly to the environment, too.

While some details make electric cars seem attractive, other details aren’t as favorable. For example, some electric cars can travel only 60 to 120 miles on a full charge (充电) . Most gas cars can drive hundreds of miles on a full tank.

An electric car has to stop more often to get recharged. Therefore, a gas car would be a better option (选择) if you have far to drive. And electric cars aren’t as convenient (方便的) to power up as gas cars are. There are plenty of gas stations, but not many charging stations for electric cars. Then, once an electric car reaches a charging station, it can take up to six hours to charge.

There are certainly benefits to both electric cars and gasoline cars. It’s good to know that there is an option.

As the world becomes increasingly populated, it is also becoming alarmingly polluted. Fortunately, there are many ways that you can help deal with the negative effects that we impose(施加) on the environment. One of these is driving an electric car.

Electric cars produce about 80 percent less pollution than cars with gas-powered motors. In fact, the only reason that electric cars produce any pollution at all is that their electric energy is produced by power plants — electric cars themselves produce no waste. When energy comes from large sources such as power plants, it’s easier to control, so there’s less waste than if the energy is produced by many smaller sources, such as the gas engines in individual cars.

Furthermore, electric cars are simply more efficient than gas-powered cars for several reasons. First, electric cars have regenerative braking, which means that when you use the brakes in an electric car, the battery has a chance to recharge(再充电). On the contrary, when you brake in a gas-powered car, you actually use energy. Also, during the production of electric cars, more time and energy is spent making the design lighter and more aerodynamic so that there will be less drag(阻力) from the wind. This allows them to travel farther using less energy than a gas-powered car would use to go the same distance.

In addition to the environmental benefits of driving electric cars, there are also financial and time-saving benefits for the drivers. For one, they cost less to maintain(维修). The cost of charging an electric car is about 20 percent of the cost of gas, and electric cars require far less maintenance than gas-powered cars. This is due, in part, to the fact that electric cars have no cooling system, fan　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 belts, radiators, hoses, or oil — just a battery. There are fewer moving parts overall, so there are fewer possible problems. Also, after the body of an electric car gives out, the engine can be reused in another body. Electric cars can also save people time. While gas-powered cars require visits to a mechanic every few months, the only routine maintenance required by electric cars is replacing the battery every four years.

Overall, there are numerous benefits of driving an electric car. It may take a little getting used to, but in the long run, the use of electric cars can help preserve the environment and give people more time and money to be put to better use.

少购买新东西

Could you live for one month without buying anything new? Buy Nothing New Month started in Australia in 2010. It challenges people once a year to buy nothing new—except food, products used for hygiene, and medicine—for 30 days.

The aim is to encourage people to be less wasteful. It also makes us think about the influence our shopping habits have on the environment. But the challenge is not simply about going out without buying anything. People can find other creative ways to get the things they want. Here are a few examples of how to buy nothing new.

Shopping secondhand

Many people shop for secondhand products at places like thrift stores. You can usually find lots of things at good prices, and your money often goes to a good cause. And while you're there, why not give away something you no longer use so that someone else can buy it?

Swapping

With the Internet, swapping is easier than ever before. There are many websites, such as swap.com, where you can post a photo of something you don't need. Then, other users can offer something as a swap.

Upcycling

Upcycling involves turning something you no longer need into something much more useful. For example, you can turn an empty drink bottle into a beautiful vase, or an old door into an interesting table.

So why not try the challenge for yourself? You can be a friend to the environment and also to your wallet.

What is 5G?

The “G” in “5G” refers to the generations of mobile network technologies. 1G let us talk to each other, 2G let us send messages, 3G gave us mobile data and the Internet, and 4G made all of these things faster.

Now 5G promises much faster data download and upload speeds, and more stable connections. For example, when you have a video chat with your friend, there is generally a 100 to 200 milliseconds delay with 4G, but 5G will reduce the delay to 1 millisecond(毫秒) or less.

Americans buy more bottled water than any other nation in the world. 29 billion bottles of water are drunk each year. It takes 17 million barrels of oil to make these bottles. That's enough oil to keep a million cars going for twelve months.

So why don't more people drink water from the tap in the kitchen? Some people drink bottled water because they think it is better for them than water out of the tap, but that's not true. In the United States, the government makes sure water from the tap is safe.

People love bottled water because it is convenient to take with them. But maybe if they understand the problems it makes, they will try drinking from a glass at home or carrying water in a reusable bottle instead of a plastic one. Although plastic water bottles can be turned into some other useful things, only a small number of them are reused. The rest are taken away in rubbish trucks, or even worse, they end up as rubbish on the land and in rivers, lakes, and the ocean. Plastic bottles take hundreds of years to break down.

Water is good for you, so keep drinking it. But think about how often you use plastic water bottles, and see if you can make a change. If you take one to school, don't throw it away — bring it home and put tap water in it for the next day.

1.Americans buy the most bottled water in the world.

2.The United Nations makes sure water out of the tap is safe.

3.Plastic water bottles we use cause serious pollution.

4.It takes a hundred years to make plastic water bottles break down.

5.We should use a plastic water bottle as many as possible before throwing it away.

You might have noticed that sometimes, when you're playing mobile games or making a video call, the picture suddenly freezes (卡顿) because the network speed is too slow. When you try to download a movie on your phone, it seems to take forever.

These annoying things will soon become things of the past, as China just issued commercial licenses (发放商业牌照) for 5G networks on June 6. This means that China's telecommunications (电信) companies will be able to offer 5G network speeds for mobile phone users.

The "G" stands for generation (代). 1G let us talk to each other, 2G let us send messages, 3G gave us mobile data and Internet, and 4G made all of these things faster. So what will 5G bring?

First of all, 5G is so fast that it will allow us to download an entire HD movie in a second. The delay (延时) between sending and receiving data will be shortened. Now, 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds (毫秒), while humans have a reaction time of about 200 to 300 milliseconds. But 5G will get the delay down to 1 millisecond or less, which is almost real-time.

Because of this increase in speed, it will possible to create and use new kinds of technology. Robots will be used to do operations because doctors will be able to control them from somewhere else without any delay. Self-driving cars will be able to drive more safely because they can smoothly communicate with other cars, traffic lights and road sensors (传感器). 5G also makes the Internet of Things (IOT, 物联网) possible.

All in all, 5G will shape every type of technology that it touches. And you won't have to wait too long for that to happen.
