As we face climate (气候) change, a new digital tool helps develop carbon-free energy without damaging the wildlife habitats. In Maine, the Renewable Energy Siting Tool is a new map that allows the clean energy developers to identify the sites for solar and wind projects while avoiding those with sensitive wildlife habitats. Sarah Haggerty, the lead developer, notes that the tool came into being thanks to the data provided by Maine’s Department of Environmental Protection, state biologists, clean energy developers, as well as economic support from the bank.

Based on data on land-use, habitats, energy resources (资源), etc., the tool uses a traffic light model to identify sites suitable for development and sites to avoid. Fields like landfills are shown in green, wetland areas or endangered species habitats are shown in red, while yellow-shown areas indicate that closer examination of project impacts is necessary.

The tool was developed after Maine passed a law requiring that 80% of Maine’s electricity come from renewable resources by 2030. Haggerty says, “We are in urgent need of this tool to help us fight climate change in a way that reduces impact on our valuable natural resources.”Maine is the most forested state in the nation, and agriculture, natural resources, and nature tourism play important roles in its economy. Yet the state is among the top five in losing its farmland to development. It makes little sense to develop clean energy projects at the cost of farmland.

When developers announce a clean energy project, they often face disagreement from community members who are concerned about the loss of valuable farmland or the impact on wildlife. This can discourage investors (投资者) and slow the change to renewable energy. Luckily, this tool can help developers speed up the development of clean energy by quickly identifying suitable land. Clean energy development needn’t come at the cost of wildlife.

We set out to revolutionize fashion techwear —starting with the classic white dress shirt, made with heart and precision. Paying close attention to details, combined with high quality cotton fabric and latest hydrophobic nanotechnology (疏水纳米技术), results in nothing less than a masterpiece.

The nanotechnology works by modifying the fabric molecules (分子). The hydrophobic properties are locked into the weave of the fabric, which makes liquids bead-up and roll off the fabric surface. Our Fooxmet white shirt use 72% combed cotton and 28% Sorona fabric. Combed cotton is a kind of cotton that has been combed to make the thread stronger. Sorona is the fiber that defines softness, with a flexibility beyond limits.

Having a shirt made out of Fooxmet hydrophobic nanotech material means freedom in so many ways. Long gone will be the days when one had to be anxious about where they walked or what they drank. The material of Fooxmet white shirt will make it dirt resistant. The liquid that is resisted ca particles of dirt off with it, making it essentially self-cleaning. We use sustainable Sorona cotton fabric for perfect function and comfort balance. Although the material is liquid resistant, it is breathable. The wearer, therefore, wouldn’t have to worry about sweating when it is hot and focus on work, boosting productivity. Besides, whether you spin it, weave it or wear it, it doesn’t wrinkle. It doesn’t need to be ironed. Our white shirt returns to its original shape after being washed.

Simplicity and emptiness make the great universality, embracing the feelings and thoughts of all people. Our Japanese designers put precise attention to details with admirable d create the Fooxmet white shirt.

There are always risks to every kickstarter project, but we are confident to ensure our backers to receive Fooxmet on time. The material and technology itself have already been and tested. Currently we are done with modeling and mass production will start upon the success of We are confident to foresee and de-risk most of the difficulties faced in production.

【小题1】What make(s) the Fooxmet white shirt soft?
A.Nanotechnology.B.Combed cotton.
C.Sorona fabric.D.The hydrophobic properties.
【小题2】What is the Fooxmet white shirt like?

D.The producers have resolved the risks of failure
【小题4】What is the text mainly about?
A.An emerging dress enterprise.B.The trend of fashion techwear.
C.A new sustainable clothing material.D.The first dirt proof and breathable shirt.

It’s raining microchips. One day, they could float gently through the air while gathering environmental data, land on the ground and then disappear when their work is done. That’s the future a team of engineers see for what they’re calling “microflier”, a tiny winged microchip with designs inspired by nature.

The accomplishment belongs to a team of scientists at the Northwestern University in Illinois, who developed the microflier, a flying microchip that spins like a helicopter. It is the size of a grain of sand but with small wings and an aerodynamic design that allows it to fall in a controlled manner thanks to its barely visible propellers. The engineers used nature’s “manual” to get their inspiration for the microflier, analyzing the behavior of various types of wind-spread seeds.

How does that work? Instead of using a motor or engine, the tiny flying microchip uses the power of the wind to catch a flight, spinning through the ground at low speed. It is a stable flight, and the microflier can stay in the air for a long time, which is why it could prove to be useful for a variety of applications.

While nature has designed seeds with very sophisticated aerodynamics, the Northwestern team claims its microflier is better, as it is even smaller and its structure allows it to fall with more stable paths and at slower speeds than equivalent seeds from plants or trees.

The engineers built the flying structure to be used for purposes such as population monitoring, pollution monitoring, disease tracking and so on. And while this might look like a simple, limited device right now, researchers see its potential for becoming a highly functional electronic device. The microflier can be equipped with really sophisticated technology, such as tiny sensors, antennas for wireless communication, or embedded memory for data storage.

【小题1】What gave scientists the inspiration for the microflier?
A.Helicopters.B.Flying birds.C.Falling seeds.D.Raindrops.
【小题2】How does the microflier operate?
A.By using electricity.B.By using wind power.
C.By using an engine.D.By using solar energy.
【小题3】Which is one advantage of the microflier over nature’s work?
A.It produces less noise.B.It carries more weight.
C.It can fly in any direction.D.It can stay longer in the air.
【小题4】What does the last paragraph focus on?
A.Microflier’s working principle.B.Microflier’s development process.
C.Microflier’s potential applications.D.Microflier’s accomplished tasks.

Every person who has ever camped outside has likely run into tent ropes that seem to be attracted to any passerby's legs like a magnet (磁铁).
