【题目】 How can you create public transport in the Amazon jungle(亚马逊丛林)without polluting itThe Achuar people(阿丘雅人)in Ecuador(厄瓜多尔)have found a clever solution.

Since April 2017a boat powered completely by solar energy has travelled along the rivers that connect nine different small villages in the jungle. The boatTapiatpiais named after a special kind of electric eel(电鳗)in the area. It has given the Amazon its first solar—powered public transport system. It creates no pollution in the jungle which is home to the largest number of plants and animals in the world.

Transport in the area used to rely on boats powered by petrol(汽油). These boats were expensive to run because petrol here cost five times more than that in the capital city of Quito(基多). Tapiatpia is cheaper to runand therefore the fare for each stop is lower. A solar—powered boat ride costs one dollar per stop for each passengerwhile a petrol—powered boat ride costs at least five dollars.

The solar-powered boatwhich can carry 18 people at a timeis changing life in the jungle. More children go to school because the fare is more affordable. Besideswhen someone is illhis family or friends can call the boat on the radiothe boat will come immediately and take the patient to a health center quickly. More inter-village sporting events. are heldtoobecause of the use of the solar-powered boat.

Many people think the solar-powered boat can be used in the rest of the Amazonwhere there is an urgent need for both public transport and environmental protection.
