Hours passed. "Where are those boys?" shouted the angry father. "They are probably playing a game and have forgotten about the water. I wish they were all turned into ravens (烏鴉) !"And when he looked up, he saw seven black birds flying away. The father was shocked. "What have I done? he thought. But it was too late.

She ate and drank a little from each of them. In the last cup, she accidently dropped a ring that her parents had given her.

Later hat day, the ravens returned for their meal. The girl hid behind the door and watched. When the seventh raven drank from his cup, something hit his mouth. The raven recognized it at once—it was his parents' ring. "I wish our sister were here, "he said, "and then we could be free.

The key to the water-powered spaceship is the engine (發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)). Regular engines push spaceships by burning fuel. The water engine will use steam, created by solar panels (太陽能板) 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 water engines. If these scientists are correct, we may soon be on our way to Mars in a spaceship powered by water.

Music helps us exercise—but why does it have this effect? Experts say there are two main reasons.

The 【1】 is simple: music takes our attention away. When we listen to a song we like, our brains focus on the music. For example, After we exercise 【2】 20 minutes, our body might be tired. But we may not feel this immediately 【3】 we are listening to music. So we can exercise a little longer.

Music also makes us want to move. When we hear dance music, for example, we naturally start to move to the beat. A positive song also puts us in a good mood, so we feel much 【4】. This gives us energy and helps us exercise longer. Music with a quick and continuing beat is good for exercising. "But the music shouldn't be too fast, "【5】 Dr. Costas, a famous sports expert. In general, songs in the range of 120-140 beats per minute (BPM) are the best.
