By about 2020, a new company from India will open stores all over the world to sell their products(产品). They will sell a lot of big things for low prices.
At these stores, they will sell cars. But the cars are different from those we use today. The company will make cars according to your needs. So you will buy your car piece by piece. Why buy a top(顶部) if you don’t need one? Why buy sides of a car if you want a good view? If you always drive alone, why buy four seats?
Buy only what you need: pay a dollar for a wheel, a dollar for an engine(发动机), a dollar for a seat, and drive it away. When it is going to rain, run back and buy a top. When winter comes, you can buy the sides and top. Anyway, you might only pay $12 for the car. Isn’t it cool?

“Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re going to get.” The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise, winning the hearts of large numbers of fans. Most of the customers are women aged from 18 to 35 according to the data.
A blind box toy is hidden inside and the toy cannot be seen from the outside, so you have no idea what will be inside. Only after opening the box can you see what you have bought.
One reason for their popularity is because of their cute appearances. Cute cartoon characters come in small sizes, making them suitable for display (展示) almost anywhere. And the little toys can bring people back to their wonderful childhood.
Also, the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attracts people. When people open this simple little box, they may be disappointed, but the uncertainty is part of the fun. “Opening a blind box is a surprise for our boring daily lives. You are expecting to get what you want until you open the box”, said Jiang Fan, a 22-year-old college student.
Some young people think that blind boxes help them make friends with those who share the same interests and find a sense of belonging.
However, we should pay more attention to the hidden danger behind blind box toys. Many people especially teenagers spend too much money on the toys, because they want to open more blind boxes and hope for a better one. Some fans even collect so many toys that they can create their own “doll wall”, which may make them buy many of the toys. We can pay for joy, but not for impulse (冲动), so it’s necessary for us to think more about the value.

Japan built the world’s first high speed railway. In 1964, Japan’s “Shinkansen” trains started traveling between Osaka and Tokyo at 200 km/hr. Over time, more lines, as well as faster trains, were built.
Korea, England, and the USA, now have their own high speed systems. Taiwan Province’s started running in 2007. Its trains are based on two types of Shinkansen trains. They can carry 989 people and travel from Taipei to Kaohsiung in less than two hours.
These systems are expensive to build, but they have many advantages. For example, they are good for the environment. Trains on the London to Paris line create 1/10 the pollution that planes create. High speed trains are also safer and cleaner than cars.
