After Man has dreamed about flying for
a long time. Michael Moshier is a dreamer. He invented the Solo Trek.
The Solo Trek had a 120 horsepower engine with twin fans. Only one person
flies. As you fly above the roofs, you lean a little forward. You can see
everything under you. You are flying like Superman. Michael
Moshier looked at the jet belt and the rocket belt that was developed 20-30
years ago. Nothing ever came from them. People still can’t fly.
Inventors have tried to make it easy for people to fly. Paul Moller has
been working on his flying car for 30 years. He now says it is ready for tests.
It would take off and land vertically, go 600 miles an hour, and deliver 20
miles to the gallon. A computer would do the actual flying. He says it could be
sold next year for about a million dollars. NASA is working with
Moshier to help develop his flying machine. The first users are likely to be
military. It’s been 50-years since Robert Fulton invented his
airphibian, a flying car. It flew, and is now in the Smithsonian
Museum. Getting dreams to fly is never
easy.

单选题Severe winter storms have worsened the nation's usual post-holiday blood shortage, 26 an urgent call today for people to donate blood. Type O blood is the most urgently needed, because it is the 27 blood type, meaning it can be safely 28 to most people in an emergency. 'The severe winter weather has forced the cancellation of blood drives and limited our 29 to collect blood,' American Red Cross President Elizabeth Dole said. The Red Cross reported having less than one day's supply of Type O blood on hand in 18 of the organization's 38 collection regions. The Red Cross 30 about half of the nation's blood supply. America's Blood Centers, which supplies most of the rest, also has reported shortages. Reacting to the shortage, a Pittsburgh blood bank asked 40 hospitals in western Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio to 31 elective surgeries through Wednesday. At least 1,000 donors are needed each day for the next several days to stabilize the supply, said Mark Lynch, spokesman for the Central Blood Bank. 'We're talking about (postponing) hip replacement, for example, and orthopedic cases. These are sick people who need surgery, but it's not life 32 ,' he said. When its blood supply is 33 , the blood bank needs about 700 donors each day to maintain normal inventory. The Pittsburgh blood bank last asked hospitals to postpone elective surgeries because of a blood shortage in October 1995. Such procedures were canceled for almost a week. Nationwide, donations typically fall off during the holidays, when donors become too busy to give blood 34 . Bad weather increases shortages both by 35 blood drives and by causing increased blood demand to treat accident victims.

单选题Crying is hardly an activity encouraged by society. Tears, whether they are of sorrow, anger, or joy, typically make Americans feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. The shedder of tears is likely to apologize, even when a devastating tragedy was the provocation. The observer of tears is likely to do everything possible to put an end to the emotional outpouring. But judging from recent studies of crying behavior, links between illness and crying and the chemical composition of tears,
both those responses to tears
are often inappropriate and may even be
counterproductive
.
Humans are the only animals definitely known to shed emotiomal tears. Since evolution has given rise to few, if any, purposeless physiological responses, it is logical to assume that crying has one or more functions that enhance survival.
Although some observers have suggested that crying is a way to elicit assistance from others (as a crying baby might from its mother), the shedding of tears is hardly necessary to get help. Vocal cries would have been quite enough, more likely than tears to gain attention. So, it appears, there must be something special about tears themselves.
Indeed, the new studies suggest that emotional tears may play a direct role in alleviating stress. University of Minnesota researchers who are studying the chemical composition of tears have recently isolated two important chemicals from emotional tears. Both chemicals are found only in tears that are shed in response to emotion. Tears shed because of exposure to cut onion would contain no such substance.
Researchers at several other institutions are investigating the usefulness of tears as a means of diagnosing human ills and monitoring drugs.
At Tulane University"s Tear Analysis Laboratory Dr. Peter Kastl and his colleagues report that they can use tears to detect drug abuse and exposure to medication, to determine whether a contact lens fits properly of why it may be uncomfortable, to study the causes of "dry eye" syndrome and the effects of eye surgery, and perhaps even to measure exposure to environmental pollutants.
At Columbia University Dt. Liasy Faris and colleagues are studying tears for clues to the diagnosis of diseases away from the eyes. Tears can be obtained painlessly without invading the body and only tiny amounts are needed to perform highly refined analyses.
