【推荐3】The flying car is a symbol of the future. It can be here soon! Companies are racing to make the flying car a real transportation choice. In cities, people get tired of being stuck in a traffic jam. They’ve dreamed about flying machines for many years.

People in Dubai(迪拜) are very lucky, because they can travel in the self-flying air taxi very soon. The egg-shaped air taxi, named the Ehang 184, is made in China. It can travel for up to 30 minutes with a person that weighs up to 100kg. It can reach a top speed of 160 kilometers per hour. What’s more, it only takes two hours to charge(充电) the Ehang 184 fully.

To call for a flying taxi, passengers need to enter their destination(目的地) into a mobile app. The flying taxi then sets the flight plan and takes the passenger to his destination.

Dubai isn’t the first city to show an interest in using the flying car. New York City has started testing the flying car Transition for public use. Transition is a two-seat airplane that runs on gas. It can take off and land at airports. It can also run on roads. Its wings fold up for ground use. They open up for flight. Sounds cool, right?

Thanks to modern technology, we’ll be able to use flying cars in the near future.

【推荐1】For hundreds of years, scientists have been trying to answer what things have an influence on people’semotions. What your feeling is always controlled by many things. Your emotions can be influenced by your personality (个性), by the actions of others and by events around you. Perhaps you don’t know your emotions can be influenced by the weather as well.

People often say they feel good when the sun is shining and sad when it is cloudy. In fact, sunlight makes us feel good. When sunlight hits our skins, our bodies produce a vitamin(维生素）.

The weather can also influence people’s emotions in other ways. Hot weather can make people angry because people feel uncomfortable when they are hot. In the same way, rain can make people angry because being wet can be unpleasant. As you can see, the weather can have an effect on the chemicals which control our brains. Through these ways, the weather can influence our emotions. Sadly, while the weather can change us, we can hardly change the weather.
