In the future， people may travel to Mars （火星） by water﹣powered spaceship! Today's spaceships are fine for getting things into space， but they are not so good at travelling long distances． These spaceships burn chemical fuels （燃料）， and they are very expensive． Scientists say that a water﹣powered spaceship could make the trip to Mars much cheaper． The idea is just in the planning stages now， but scientists think such a spaceship could be developed soon．
The key to the water﹣powered spaceship is the engine （发动机）． Regular engines push spaceships by burning fuel． The water engine will use steam， created by solar panels （太阳能板） that heat water to a high temperature． Of course， the spaceship will have to carry a lot of water for the long trip to Mars． Today's spaceships could not carry that much water．But scientists think that a spaceship blown up like a balloon will be able to．
One US company has already developed a spaceship like this． These spaceships are made of a strong material． Two of them have already been sent up into space， using rockets and then later filled with air．"Balloon" spaceships could be very large and carry enough water for a long trip． With the "Balloon" spaceships， enough water could be carried to power the engines and grow food during the trip． And the people on the spaceship might even get to take a hot bath!
Scientists say the biggest advantage of such a spaceship would be cost． The "Balloon" spaceship uses water to push it through space and costs about one thirtieth of a normal spaceship． Such savings naturally encourage continued research into balloon spaceships and w after engines． If these scientists are correct， we may soon be on our way to Mars in a spaceship powered by water．

Is your schoolbag too heavy to carry? The e-schoolbag will help you. In fact, the e-schoolbag should perhaps be called an e-textbook. It is a small computer for students. Heavy schoolbags have been a serious problem for them for a long time. But the e-schoolbag will change everything.
It is much lighter than a usual schoolbag. Also, it is as small as a usual textbook, an exercise book and so on. They can be made into chips that are as small as a stamp. The students can read the text page by page on the “screen”, take notes, or even send e-mails to their teachers. All they have to do is to put the right chip into the e-schoolbag and press the button.
It is said that e-schoolbags have been put into use in some Chinese middle schools. In 2012, some students in Shanghai started to use e-schoolbags in the new term.

I still remember my first night as a young policeman.
It was a cold and wet night. Over the radio came the message to deal with an accident in one of the side streets of the city. The scene of the accident wasn’t far away and we arrived after 10 minutes. Two cars had crashed. Two women were lying on the street and one driver was still in the car. The driver was quite drunk(喝醉) and kept shouting to us. He didn’t get badly hurt. A young woman died at once when the two cars crashed. I was holding the other woman and tried to stop the bleeding, but at last I had to watch her die in my arms.
Three months later, I saw the driver in court and found him to be a normal person. He was sorry for his actions. In the end, he was put into the prison for several years.
