From a large elephant to a small mouse，animals live happily together in Disney's new movie Zootopia．Judy Hopps．The main character，becomes the first rabbit police officer in the city． While solving a mystery， she meets the smart fox， Nick， who helps her with her case（案件），and some others animals like the lion mayor（市长）and a mouse called Flash． Here is something more about the movie．
There are 64 kinds of animals in the movie． All of them look like real ones except Judy，the first rabbit police officer．Its appearance is a bit different from real rabbits． Real rabbits actually have splitlips（嘴唇）， but the film makers decided to make Judy's lip all together to look nice．
Film makers learned that not all fur（皮毛）of animals is the same． In the movie，some of polar bears' fur is clear． It appears white because the light reflects off it． Part of fox fur is dark at the root， getting lighter till its red top． They did so to make sure that the animals in Zootopia were believable．
Moreover， a film maker， Nathan Warner with his partners also took a trip to Africa for researching animals． There they had a close watching of different animals． According to their discovery， these artists added leaves to animals coats like the big sheep． They also make animals tears run from the inside corners of eyes down to the outside mouths．

We've seen 3D films， 3D TVs and so on．They are so interesting that young people like to watch them very much．Have you ever read about 3D newspapers？That was what the Belgian（比利时的）newspaper，La Demiere Heure，tried to do for its readers．This was Europe's first 3D newspaper．
It took the team two months to make the 3D newspaper．The team printed 115，000copies of the special edition of La Demiere Heyre．It was more than the usual number of the printed copies．
Each of these newspapers came with a pair of free 3D glasses．All the photos and ads in the newspaper were in 3D and the text was the same as usual．Readers could get the best result by holding the paper 50cm away from the eyes．In fact，if people don't wear the 3D glasses，the newspaper will be terrible to read because the pictures are not clear．
Many readers tried to buy this kind of newspaper．In fact，some of them bought it just for fun．The team had no plans to continue it because it cost too much．

When it comes to long， distance space travel， the biggest， problem is that spaceships can only get as far as the fuel onboard allows． In 1964， a British writer Clarke came up with the idea of "solar sailing" in his science fiction． He wrote of large， mirror﹣like sails that collect power from the sun and free spaceships from the limitation of fuel．
This sci﹣fi idea was first successful brought to reality in 2010 by Japan's IKAROS satellite．Ever since then， the technology has improved mission by mission， with the latest being NASA's Advanced Composite Solar Sail 3（ACS3）． NASA has recently announced that it's going to team up with Lithuania's satellite﹣building company NanoAvionics to test its new sail ﹣in low﹣Earth orbit．
To many， a solar sail may look like a giant solar panel， but it actually works very differently．While solar panels take in energy from the sun and change it into power， solar sails use Photons given off by the sun to create direct power． Besides， solar panels are big and heavy to carry， while solar sails are just the opposite．
According to Abbott， the CEO of NanoAvionics， the upcoming low﹣Earth orbit trial with NASA， if successful， will be followed with deep﹣space missions that involve larger solar sails． Theseare ideal for low﹣cost and long﹣distance space travel because fuel will no longer be a problem．
"It started as a sci﹣fi dream，" Popular Mechanics reporter Jennifer Leman wrote． "Now it could be the future of space flight．"
