Question

【题目】

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（超级高铁）: The Hyperloop is a high-speed transportation. It works by having capsules（舱）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.
