But before “maglev“ v
8、ehicles can become commercial successes, the report says, people need to stop thinking of them as high-speed trains. Instead, consider them low-flying aircraft. Argonne contends that maglev vehicles will be best suited to replace commuter aircraft. Plane flights under 600 miles are the least energy-
9、efficient, and maglev “planes“ should cut these fuel needs by up to 75 percent.

Within seconds, it can lower its leaves and make its tiny leaflets close up like folding chairs. T
15、his movement is thought to be initiated by electrical impulses remarkably similar to nerve signals in animals. But without the animals sophisticated motion machinery, the mimosa has had to be creative in devising a way to move.For motion, the plant depends on tiny, bulb-shaped organs located at the
16、base of each leaf stalk and leaflet. Called pulvini, these organs hold the plant parts in place. When the mimosa is stimulated-say, by a crawling insect or a sudden change in temperature-an electrical impulse sweeps through the plant. This causes potassium and then water to be shifted from certain c
17、ells in the pulvini to others, quickly turning one side of the organs flaccid. Because the pulvini can no longer support the leaves and leaflets, this shift results in a corresponding change in their position.16 The passage is mainly concerned with the _.（A）geographical distribution of plant and ani
