  Humans have always dreamed of finding a way to leave traffic jams(交通堵塞)behindWell, dream no longerThe flying car and pod car(豆莢車)can help cut down on traffic jams

  The world’s“first flying car”, called the Terrafugia Transition, has made its first flight in the skies of the USIt can fly 640 km through the air without adding more gas, the car maker, Terrafugia Inc, says

  As a light airplane, it is not easy for the Terrafugia Transition to fly in poor weatherHowever, it has the advantage of being able to continue the journey by road if conditions take a turn for the worse

  This is the first proven flying car with foldable wingsThese allow it to perfectly transfer from air to road

  However, there are a few problemsThe car/plane, which is expected to go on sale as early as 2011, will cost about 194, 000(1.33 million yuan)Drivers will also need a driver’s and pilot’s license

  For those afraid of heights, or who don’t want to fly, the pod car is a great way to travelImagine using a button to stop the small pod-shape carThe doors open, you climb into the passenger seat, and enter your personal numberMinutes later, the doors slide open and you have reached the place where you’re going

  Cities around the world are looking into pod-car systems, as pod cars do not need human driversThey are designed for one person or small groups traveling togetherPassengers simply type their place into the pod car’s computer and the pod car takes them directly there

  Because pod cars do not make unnecessary stops and use electricity, they save a lot of energy and do not pollute the airPod cars also provide passengers with faster service and more privacy than a subway or bus

  While flying cars and pod cars may be a dream available to a few, many humans are still dreaming bigger dreams, such as teleportation(瞬間位移術(shù))It is most widely found in works of science fiction

 Telep ortation is a method of transportation, in which, objects or information are dematerialized(使消失), and then recreated in another placeMaybe one day, teleportation could become a reality and people could avoid traffic jams for ever!

In the cold North there is always snow on the ground. Even in summer it is very cold there. Here is the home of the polar bear. He does not mind the cold. He has a coat of thick white fur.

  

  The polar bear likes the cold air as much as you like the warm sunlight. He does not fall on the ice because he has long hair on his paws and he walks very softly. He is very good swimmer and can swim a hundred miles form the shore. In the sea the polar bear catches seals for his dinner.

  

  He often walks over the ice and looks for a place where there is no ice.

  

  He knows that a seal likes to put out its head, so he sits down and watches. When the round head of the seal comes up, the bear jumps at it. He pulls the seal out of the water, kills it and eats it.   Sometimes the bear jumps into the water himself and catches a fish.

  

  In summer the polar bear also looks for berries. When he is very hungry he eats even the seaweed on the shore.
