A Solar-powered Plane---Lowcarbon Earlier this month, a solar-powered (太阳能动力的)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. |

Earlier this month,Goldman Sachs,the 150-year-old company,said that the time was right "to move to flexible(灵活的)clothing rules"
The move toward flexible workplaces began in the 1990s when companies started introducing "casual(随意的)Fridays". The idea became widely accepted with the rise of technology companies like Amazon and Facebook and their leaders. Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg is famous for wearing blue jeans and a gray T-shirt. Wall Street companies have had to change as they compete with technology companies for young workers. Goldman Sachs is one of the last big Wall Street companies to change its clothing rules.
Talk of the move to flexible clothing rules is often about what men wear. That's because the banking industry has mostly male leaders. Ariel Schur,head of ABS Staffing Solutions,told the Associated Press she gets more questions from men nowadays about what to wear for job interviews and meetings. However,those kinds of questions have been asked by women for a long time. "Guys have always just been able to wear the same suit,change their ties and shirt,"Schur said.
So,what is acceptable to wear at the office these days?
"This is pretty much what we wear. "said Ed Silhan,who works for an advertising technology company,wearing black jeans and boots as he spoke to an AP reporter in New York's Midtown Manhattan. "Flip flops(人字拖),or trainers are also acceptable." he added.
The "midtown uniform"—slacks(宽松长裤),button—downed shirt and fleece vest(羊毛背心)—has become a refuge for men who work in U. S. offices.
"That's probably a lazy method,"said Bossola of The Need Supply Co. "The worst possibility is that next Monday at Goldman Sachs,workers all wear the same. The best case is that they make an effort to create a set of clothing that works for their industry."
1.The word "refuge" in Paragraph 6 probably means "a _________choice”.
A.wise B.wrong C.safe D.popular
2.The writer mainly wants _________.
A.to describe how Goldman Sachs change its clothing rules
B.to introduce the changes of clothing rules in U. S. companies
C.to discover why many companies make clothing rules less strict
D.to advise male workers to create clothes specially for their industry
3.What can we learn about male workers?
A.Male workers are all leaders in the banking industry
B.Male workers wearing the "midtown uniform" are lazy.
C.Male workers are advised to wear the same suit every day.
D.Male workers have more questions about clothes than before.
4.What can we infer(推断)from the passage?
A.Goldman Sachs is the oldest Wall Street company.
B.Wearing properly in companies is easier for women.
C.Young workers prefer to work in more casual clothes.
D.The move toward flexible workplaces began in the 1990s.

A solar-powered airplane finished its first international flight from Switzerland to Belgium. This is a big step for solar power. Solar energy is clean and useful and you can find it everywhere. But what is solar energy? How do we use it? Let’s find out.
Have you ever seen houses with shiny boards on the roofs? Those families are using solar power.
Solar power converts (转换) the sun’s energy which is said to be greater than the other energy used by all humans all the year. People can convert solar power into heat and electricity.
In the 1830s, British scientist John Herschel used a solar collector to cook food in Africa. This is said to be human’s first try at using solar energy. Today, people use it for many things.
Solar energy can light streets, warm houses and heat water. Unlike other resources, the sun’s energy will run out for billions of years.
Australian students from the University of New South Wales made a solar-powered car on their own. It reached a speed of 120 km per hour. The car uses the same amount of electricity as an oven (微波炉). Moreover, American scientists made a solar-powered nanosatellite (微型卫星). Scientists sent it into space in 2012 to try to find Earth-like planets.
However, solar power has its problems. The amount of sunlight that reaches the Earth’s surface changes because of time and weather.
