<road> +@QSSi:p
The old Canada road is a [color=red][u]long-lost trial[/u][/color] between the Canadian province of Quebec and Maine,in the northeast corner of the United States.Yes,it really was lost,and finding it again was a complex process that involved state-of-art technology.How the location of the road [color=red][u]pinpointed [/u][/color]was very interesting,and I'll return to [color=blue][i]it as soon as[/i][/color] I've given you a little background information.
(b:Sx'q3t
mi*C B1W The road was begun in 1817,a few years before Maine even became a state.At the time,Quebec was a major market for [color=red][u]livestock,[/u][/color]crops,and fish,so a road to Quebec was seen by officials in Maine as necessary for trade.For about 20 years,the movement of people and goods was mostly from Maine to Quebec,but then the trend reversed [color=blue]as [/color]thousands of Canadians immigrated to Maine to escape [color=red][u]poor crops[/u][/color],a lack of jobs,and the threat of disease.I think it was a [color=red][u]cholera epidemic[/u][/color].
H%r;Zw8dfC\l(p
#F8iC1M"F P]l Besides these negative reasons,major building projects in Maine also made the state very attractvie for the Canadians [color=blue]who needed[/color] work.I should [color=red][u]stress[/u][/color],though,that immigration during that period went in both directions.In fact,the flow of people and goods went completely [color=red][u]unhindered.[/u][/color]There wasn't even a border post until around 1850.The people of the time saw Maine and Quebec as a single region,mainly because of the strong [color=blue]French[/color] [color=blue]in[/color]fluence,which is still [color=red][u]evident[/u][/color] in Maine today.NM+\TU

y1p]rE8R\e-`&U Eventually,the road fell into [color=blue][color=red][u]disuse[/u][/color] as[/color] a major railway was completed,finally,people simply forgot about it and that's how it came to be lost.This brings me back to the original topic.V?[Ch9m7_.r

<能源>
c }K` u/Tc^ Scientists are always on the [color=red][u]lookout[/u][/color] for alternative sources of energy.Today we're going to discuss one that's so plentiful they say it could supply more energy than all the coal and oil in the world.It's found in something called gas [color=red][u]hydrate[/u][/color] and believe it or not,that's a kind of ice.8Y$bDl)_s@

Bk Lnr?Qo)T That's right.But the water in this ice was [color=blue]way[/color] down below the earth's surface when it was frozen ,so it was under a lot of pressure.And trapped inside the crystals of ice are individual [color=red][u]molecules[/u][/color] of methane--that's  what's in natural gas.\C%F4jCn&a%v5}

kM1w c5|(V@ }3~ All this makes gas hydrate pretty strange stuff.If you touch[color=blue] a match to[/color] a piece of this ice,it'll burst into flame.And when geologists bring a [color=red][u]chunk [/u][/color]of it up to the surface to study [color=blue]at [/color]normal air pressure [color=blue]and [/color]temperature,gas hydrate begins to [color=red][u]hiss [/u][color=black]and[/color][u] bubble[/u][/color]--and in less than half an hour,the ice melts and the methane inside escapes into the air.!fJ.T9W U#es!V
:ov4h8FiXZP
Now,as you might guess,this can make gas hydrate kind of hard for miners to handle.And then there's the problem of where it's located--in frozen arctic regions or in ocean waters [color=blue]off the [color=red]A[/color][color=red]tlantic[/color] coast--[/color] and up to a mile down7r`6S*z uo STsZ
;U h,g!y5r,G)A$`8L'Q
Environmentalists warn that mining it could even be [u][color=red]disastrous[/color][/u].[color=red][u]Offshore drilling[/u][/color] could allow seawater to seep down into the huge deposits and release tons of methane up into the atmosphere.And methane,our listeners may recall,is a greenhouse gas that could really worsen the problem of global warming.
!|I5HlJ} %`M"] ^X4Yxa
So,gas hydrate may offer some interesting possibilities.But,with all these [color=red][u]drawbacks[/u][/color],I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for it to fuel my [color=red][u]furnace[/u][/color].1N5W D-m1@)G

Since we've been discussing alternative fuels lately,I want[color=blue]ed[/color] to pass on [color=blue]to you some[/color] information I read about a new fuel that's been [color=blue]in [/color]the news a lot lately.It's called A-21."wvg
Gk!rVJu
5ET!\)A:VU
It's composed of water and a chemical known as [color=red][u]naphtha[/u][/color].It seems to be a very [color=red][u]promising[/u][/color] fuel because it's much cleaner than the [color=red][u]gasoline[/u][/color] that we use today.That's not to say that it doesn't[color=magenta] pollute[/color],but it is cleaner,A-21 isn't like some other alternative fuels that require completely new types of [color=blue]engines[/color].A-21 still works[color=blue] in[/color] regular,everyday [color=red][u]combustion[/u][/color] [color=blue]engines[/color]--like the ones in cars--with only [color=red][u]minor[/u][/color] [u][color=red]mechanical[/color][/u] [color=red][u]modifications[/u][/color].So changing over wouldn't be a big deal.WTi[w K
Hv2Q6XK/k}a
You may doubt some of these claims [color=blue]as[/color] many researchers have.Some people feared that because it contains about 45 percent water it would freeze in the [color=blue]winter[/color],but a small amount of [color=red][u]antifreeze[/u][/color] was added to it,and that seems to [color=blue]have[/color] solved the problem.
f8oS|jn rX;f"M"^
A-21 has recently undergone street tests [color=blue]in buses in [/color][color=red]Reno,Nevada[/color].So far it seems to work just fine,This is a good thing,especially in Nevada,because the state government there has passed a law requiring that a large percentage of[color=magenta] vehicles[/color] in Nevada [color=purple]run on??[/color] alternative fuels,A-21 should help.-|)s3F1Bg2f

<龙卷风tornado>
\ F#lAM Ua The winds of a [color=red][u]tornado [/u][/color]are the most violent and destructive ones on earth.any of you who have seen one knows very well how frightening and powerful they are.What's interesting about [color=blue]them[/color] is the scientists don't actually know exactly why tornadoes occur.
1Qa })n.i;_7kX.J.w
6C`0J)~*B[(R _'j We do know,however,what happens when tornadoes are formed.As you remember,[color=blue]a front[/color] occurs when cool,dry air from the north meets warm,humid air coming from the south(from the Gulf of Mexico,for tornadoes in the united states).Where these air masses meet,[color=blue][i]a narrow zone[/i][/color] of storm clouds develops,and [color=magenta]thunderstorms[/color],and sometimes tornadoes occur.
9r;V{K,_4zh 'S7A L3c@-D2\u
How is this violent weather produced?Well,a mass of warm,humid air rises very rapidly.As it rises,more warm air rushes in to replace it.This [color=red][u]inrushing [/u][/color]air also rises,and in some cases,especially when there is extreme [color=red][u]thermal [/u][/color][color=blue]instability[/color],begins to [color=red][u]rotate[/u][/color].When this happens,the rotating air forms a tornado.
0@&XIq2r*\\M!I |&^oGj:{&O
Even if you've seen tornadoes only in movies,you know that they can demolish buildings in seconds.This is possible because when a tornado passes over a house,it sucks up air from around the house and so the air pressure outside the house drops rapidly.Inside,pressure remains the same.So,air pressure inside is greater than air pressure outside.The result is that the building explodes [color=blue]outward.[/color]Next,we'll talk a little bit about how new technological developments are being used to try to predict tornadoes.

[/color]some sort,you know like Brook [color=red][u]impressionism.1h7\Z!@$NO fq.lS
[/u][/color]No,it was actually a design school located in Germany,founded by Walter Gropius.His goal was to combine technical skill and artist [color=blue]talent[/color] and by [color=blue]doing [/color]this create a new form of [color=magenta]architecture[/color] and a [color=red][u]plight [/u][/color]arts.p3[+l|_LR`
Okay.so that's explained [color=blue]what [/color]professor mentioned [color=blue][i]how [color=red]straight[/color] people had studied with[/i][/color] both [color=blue]a [/color][u][color=red]craft[/color] [/u]person and an artist,h3b-SUm| Z%u'p
Right.Before everybody could actually begin their former training,they had to take [color=red][u]workshops [/u][/color]that were taught by both a craft person who [color=blue]emphasize[/color] technical [color=red][u]expertise[/u][/color] and an artist.U$L0@b@'^Z
Interesting.
\dL|.ear&z And the Bauhaus founder also [color=red][u]deported[/u][/color] from the [color=blue][i][color=red][u]notion [/u][/color]of arts being of a former of a luxury object[/i][/color].They want to produce functional art  to be enjoyed by everybody,not just the wealthy.)Hp9U ~u,J|_M
[color=blue]Was there[/color] making some sort of social statement? Cl)L

Is Bauhaus still around?B-MA5n6~C_P
