16、g, infertile couples could have children. Current treatments for infertility, in terms of percentages(百分比), are not very successful.

17、ing children. Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before.

Sustainable transportation is about combining economic, so
24、cial and environmental factors into decisions that affect transportation activity. In economic aspect, we need a transportation system that is efficient. In social aspect, our transportation system must be safe and easy to be reached. In addition , we need a transportation system that respects the n
25、atural environment. It is not always easy to balance these three factors but there are also win-win-win opportunities.Sustainable transportation is important. Although transportation brings many economic and social benefits, the movement of people and goods can have important influences on the envir
26、onment. These influences can in turn have social and economic consequences. Sustainable transportation calls for ensuring that the environment is considered along with economic and social considerations in transportation decision-making.Environmental influences of transportation include air and wate
27、r pollution, greenhouse effects, and the use of land and other natural resources. A range of transportation activities contribute to these pressures, including the construction of roads; the production, operation, and throwing away of vehicles; and the supply of energy and fuel.A major challenge of

We often forget this fact when we think about the other building blocks of life such as vitamins, minerals and proteins. We can live for many days without eating, but two or three days without water usually leads
32、 to death.The human body may look solid, but most of it is water. Newborn babies are as much as 85% water. Women are about 65% water and men about 75% . Women usually have less water than men because women, in general, have more fat cells, and fat cells hold less water than other kinds of cells.Wate
33、r is necessary for cooling the body under hot weather and when we are working hard or exercising, water carries body heat to the surface of the skin, where the heat is lost through perspiration.Researchers note that fat cells block body heat from escaping quickly. Fat cells under the skin act like w
34、arm clothing to keep body heat inside. This is why overweight people have a more easy time staying cool than thin people.Researchers also note that cool liquids cool us faster than warm liquids, because cold liquids take up more heat inside the body and carry it away faster. They say, however, that
35、cold sweet drinks do not work well because the sugar slows the liquid from getting into the blood stream.The body loses water every day through perspiration and urine. If we lose too much, we will become sick. To replace what is lost, health experts say grown persons should drink about 2 liters of l
36、iquids each day, and more in hot weather. They say we can also get some of the water we need in the foods we eat. Most fruits and vegetables are more than 80% water.

In fact, it is said that the wise and knowing Confucius had a 600-book library specifically on how to care for roses.The rose is a legend
41、on its own. The story goes that during the Roman Empire, there was a beautiful girl named Rhodanthe. Her beauty drew many suitors(求婚者). Exhausted by their pursuit, Rhodanthe was forced to hide in the temple of her friend Diana to stay away from her suitors. Unfortunately, Diana became jealous. And w
42、hen the suitors broke down her temple gates to get near their beloved Rhodanthe, she became angry, turning Rhodanthe into a rose and her suitors into thorns.In Greek legend, the rose was created by Chloris, the Greek goddess of flowers. It was just a lifeless seed that Chloris found one day in a cle
43、aring in the woods. She asked Aphrodite, the goddess of love, to give her beauty, Dionysus, the god of wine, to give her a sweet scent(气味), and the three Graces to give her charm, brightness and joy. Then Zephyr, the West Wind, blew away the clouds so that Apollo, the sun god, could shine and make t
44、his flower blossom. And so the rose was born and was immediately called the Queen of Flowers.The first true primary red rose seen in Europe was introduced in 1792 from China, where it had been growing wild in the mountains. Immediately, rose breeders began using it to make a hybrid(杂交品种). Absolute p
45、erfection still hasnt been gained, and of course never will!There is a special rose language invented as a secret means of communication between lovers who were not allowed to express their love for one another openly. In the mid-18th century the wife of the British ambassador in Constantinople desc
46、ribed this in her letters, which were published after her death. These letters inspired many books on the language of flowers, each describing the secret message hidden in each flower.
