Everybody wants to live in a green city. A green city is a healthy and pleasant place for people to live in. It can get its energy from something like solar and wind power. Also, it is connected by clean public transportation.

The Hyperloop（超級(jí)高鐵）: The Hyperloop is a high-speed transportation. It works by having capsules（艙）with passengers in. The capsules run on the air. The Hyperloop plans to run from Los Angeles to San Francisco. With the speed of 962 km an hour, it is only 35 minutes between the two cities.

What will you do if you feel sleepy after a long flight? A new invention called Ostrich Pillow can help you now.

The Ostrich Pillow: The Ostrich Pillow will help you nap（小睡） anytime, anywhere, including in airport waiting rooms and on planes. It is filled with synthetic（合成的）material, light and feels comfortable. The strange-looking pillow has a hole in which to put your head, and a mouth hole designed to allow its wearer to breathe easily. It also has two side holes where you can store your hands－if napping at a table, for example.

“We have tried it in airports, trains, airplanes, at the office and even on the floor and it’s really wonderful.” the inventors say.

The Ostrich Pillow will go into production if its fundraising goes well. The company is trying to collect $70,000 on Kickstarter, a funding website for creative business ideas. So far it has already raised more than $ 35,000.

Now and then we all get ill. Then we usually go to see a doctor. Doctors know a lot about what makes us ill. They may give us something to take. The medicine often makes us well again.

But sometimes the doctor’s medicine doesn’t work. A sick person does not get well. The pain(痛), or hurt(傷), will not go away. This happened to a man named Walter. He was in hospital, but he was not getting well. Then he found a new “doctor” inside himself. This “doctor” was his own sense of humor(幽默感). He saw funny films. He read funny books. And something wonderful happened. Laughing took away his pain. Then he was able to sleep and rest. His own happy feeling helped him to feel well again. And he told his story in a book. He said laughing was his best “medicine”. His doctor thought so, too.

Another man called James was ill, and he had a terrible pain in his back. The doctor could not stop it from hurting. So the man began to “picture” his pain. In his head he “drew” a picture of a dog. He imagined(想象) it as a real dog. And he made friends with the dog. And his pain went away!

These stories may surprise you. But more and more people are getting well in this way. So call on the “doctor” inside your own head. Stay happy and well.
