朗读者：Harry 朗读文本： Eco-friendly technology, also known as clean tech or green tech, can help preserve the environment through energy efficiency and the reduction of harmful waste. Eco-friendly technology developers use the latest environmental science and green chemistry to reduce the harmful impact of human activity on Earth. Eco-friendly technology is still in the earliest stages of development, but many innovations have been made in renewable energy, water cleaning, waste management, and everyday consumer products. Eco-friendly technology presents the following trends as global environmental awareness grows. Driven by policy support and market demand, the innovation of eco-friendly technology will continue to speedup. Technical exchanges between different fields will be more frequent and in-depth; therefore the cross-border cooperation in eco-friendly technology will be promoted. The application of eco-friendly technology will be wider and deeper with the reduction of costs.

朗读者：AulrV 朗读文本： The poet Emerson once said, "The Earth laughs in flowers." It is nature's own way of showing happiness. Make your home a pleasant and bright place by planting flowers. After you bring flowers home, you can follow these steps to maintain their growth. First, you should water your flowers regularly. Add several cups of water to each plant with a watering pot. The watering should be close to the soil. Second, you should cut off the dead leaves. Whenever the blossoms of your flowers die off or become old, cut them off. It can make the new growth of the flowers active. Then your flowers will look even more beautiful. Third, you should add support in time. If your plants are tall growing, over time they may become too heavy to stand on their own. Add bamboo sticks or branches to help the plants stand straight.

朗读者：Leying 朗读文本： To inspire the next generation of scientists, inventors and engineers, the Science Museum Group has launched an exciting new online game—Total Darkness. Total Darkness is aimed at 8 to 15 year-olds — an important stage in teens’ science development. The game invites the player to solve a mysterious power cut in their hometown. The game puts players in control, allowing their choices and decisions to guide them through the story. The player’s choices and actions will score them curiosity, creativity or communication points. Over the last year we have been developing Total Darkness with the aim of creating an experience that can have a positive impact on people’s attitudes towards science, as well as having a focus on self-reflection, instead of just asking players to recall specific facts or concepts.
