my children watched the fish outside their bedroom window.
They were never bored!”
Forever Green Houses
These houses are both “green” and “smart”. There is glass outside the houses. Heat is held under the glass and is then used as energy for each house. In the bathroom, your medicine cupboard is connected to your doctor’s computer. In the kitchen, your smart fridge tells the supermarket’s computer when you need more food.
Mr Yu: “When we were living in our old house,
we were using more energy. I would certainly
recommend Forever Green Houses to my friends.
They will satisfy everyone.”
The CJ3
The CJ3 is a new type of hydrogen car. The hydrogen in the car is mixed with oxygen from the air to make electricity for the car. The CJ3 has an electronic map and is driven by a computer. You tell the computer where you want to go. Then you sit back and relax as the car takes you there.
Mr Hu: “While I was driving my old car,
I was polluting the city. Now, with the
new technology in my CJ3,
I’m helping protect the environment.”
