My invention cansave your home by sucking up all-natural disasters. The government will not own this
machine, but by you so there will be no taxes on it. Order Now! The Eater of Natural Disasters will run on
renewable batteries. It will cost 50 dollars to make and I will sell it for just $ 75.

Pick-up-Pollution Bomb

like people, animals, property, playgrounds, and parks. The reason why I made it is that I think there is too much
pollution on the Earth. It sells for $100 apiece, and if you buy this now, I will send you another one for free.

British sculptor Jason Taylor has made it his mission to use his talent to conserve our ecosystems by creating
underwater museums. Over the years, the environmentalist has put over 850 massive artworks underwater
worldwide. On February 1, 2021, Taylor launched his latest work — The Underwater Museum of Cannes.
―The main goal was to bring attention to the fact that our oceans need our help,‖ Taylor told
Dezeen. ―Ocean ecology has been destroyed by human activity in the Mediterranean over the past few decades,
and it is not obvious what is taking place when observing the sea from afar.‖
The Underwater Museum of Cannes contains 6 sculptures featuring local residents of various ages. They
range from Maurice, an 80-year-old fisherman, to Anouk, a 9-year-old student. Towering over 6-feet-tall and
weighing 10 tons, the faces are sectioned into two parts, with the outer part like a mask. The mask indicates that
the world’s oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremely
fragile to careless human activities.
Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine blue, the seabed was filled with old
boat engines, pipes, and other human-made trash when the project began about four years ago. Besides removing
the trash, Taylor also restored the area’s sea grass. Just one square meter of the sea grass can generate up to 10
liters of oxygen daily. The sea grass also helps prevent coastal erosion and provides habitats for many ocean
creatures.
―The idea of creating an underwater museum was to draw more people underwater and develop a sense of
care and protection,‖ Taylor told Dezeen. ―If we threw unwanted waste near a forest, there would be a public
outcry. But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.
4. Why does the outer part ofthe sculptures look like a mask?
A. To popularize the features of the locals.
B. To remind people to protect themselves.
C. To reflect people’s protection of the ocean.

Fine art fairs（艺术博览会）are the trend of the 21st century, with new art and antique（古玩）fairs and
festivals springing up in diverse parts of the world. Here is a list of four noteworthy art fairs.
Art Basel, Basel, Switzerland
The granddaddy of art fairs, Art Basel, was established in 1970 by a group of local art gallerists and is the
biggest contemporary art fair in the world. Art Basel takes place over a 5-day period each June in Basel,
Switzerland. The high cost of renting space for gallery owners is offset（抵消）by the huge attendance at the fair.
For example in 2010, about 60,000 visitors attended Art Basel.
Frieze Art Fair, London
“Frieze Art Fair was established in 2003 and is one of the few fairs to focus only on contemporary art and

It looks like 2017 is shaping up to be a record-breaking year in movie History. Here is a list of some of the
year’s biggest blockbusters so far.
Kong: Skull Island
A reboot (重启) of King Kong would normally get laughed at in this day and age, but it looks like this modem
version of the story will be worth watching. With US actress Brie Larson and UK actor Tom Hiddleston in the mix,
this film is set to be this year’s biggest monster tale.
Release Date:3/10/17
Beauty and the Beast
Director Bill Condon is bringing back a part of our childhood in live action, complete with the songs we all
remember and love. With British stars Emma Watson and Dan Stevens leading thecast, the classic Walt Disney
story already sounds like it’ll be a delight for both children and adults.

As the MOOC craze continues to explode, anyone interested in taking an online course faces a tricky question:
Which course to take? Here are five aspects that you should consider before you start.
(1)What is your learning style?
Many MOOCs are video-based. Other courses use presentation formats. Some also require participation in
group work. If you want to stay motivated during your course, think about how you enjoy learning.
Are you a visual learner, preferring to use images to understand a topic? If so, a video-based course will work
well for you. If you are a verbal learner who gains new information by speaking and writing, try a text-based
course with lots of note-taking. Social learners, meanwhile, will thrive in forum discussions and project-based

The Origins of Famous Brands
Our lives are full of brand names and trademarked products that we use every day. Although many brand names
are simple acronyms(首字母缩略词) or versions of their founders names, some of the companies we trust every
day actually have fascinating and surprising back stories.
Starbucks
It seems fitting that the most famous coffee brand in the world would take its name from one of the world’s
greatest works of literature. The inspiration for the name of the coffeehouse came from Herman Melville’sMoby
Dick. The founders’ original idea was to name the company after the Captain Ahab’s ship, but they eventually
decided that Pequot wasn’t a great name for coffee, so they chose Ahab’s first mate, Starbucks, as the name

One day when I was 5, my mother blamed me for not finishing my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play
outside and not to be made to finish eating my old rice. When angrily opening the screen door (纱门) with my
foot, I kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no regret,
for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.
Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have blamed my child, and told him about how
expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking (打屁股) for it. However, my parents
never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, in the defense against

Last summer, Katie Steller pulled off the freeway on her way to work inMinneapolis. She stopped at a traffic
light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She rolled down her window and shouted. “Hey. I’m
driving around giving free haircuts. Do you want one right now?” The man laughed, then paused. “Actually,” he
said, “I was really hoping to get a haircut.” Steller pulled out a red chair from her car and helped the man cut his
hair immediately. After the work was done, the man looked in a mirror. “I look good!” he said.
Up to now, Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts around the city to people with little influence, and she is
strongly aware of the power of her cleanup job.
As a teen, she suffered from a severe disease, causing her hair to get thinned, so her mother arranged for

While Jennifer was at home taking an online exam for her business law class, a monitor（监控器）a few

Using a web camera equipped in Jennifer'sLos Angelesapartment, the monitor inPhoenixtracked how
frequently her eyes moved from the computer screen and listened for the secret sounds of a possible helper in the
room. Her Internet access was locked remotely to prevent Internet searches, and her typing style was analyzed to
make sure she was who she said she was: Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the
past？Or was she slowing down？
