2．Many people in Beijing found that the traffic condition was very bad just after the National Day holiday．
  On the evening of October 8，there were about 140 traffic jam （堵塞） in the city．Liu Ming，a diver in Beijing，said his car stayed in one place for nearly three and a half of hours．
  In Beijing，traffic jams happen not only during holidays，but also on workdays．
  What is the problem？
  The roads in Beijing can hold 6.7 million cars at most．Beijing already has over 4.5 million cars and that number is growing．With so many cars on road，it is impossible to have good traffic conditions．The government has tried many different solutions （解决方法）．
  One possible solution is to build more subways and encourage people to use them．But subways coat a lot to build．
  Another solution is to control the number of cars on the road．For example，cars in Beijing have to take one day off a week．But，as the number of cars on the road grows，the traffic problems remain．

20．It looks like a cup，but people call it a Kug．It can hold water．It can also boil water in 90 seconds．
Two UK college students Ben Millett，21，and Alan Harrison，22，made the Kug．They think the old way of making a hot drink takes a lot of time-You have to boil water in a kettle（水壶），put a tea bag in a cup，and then fill the cup with the hot water from the kettle．So they came up with this idea．
The Kug is made of two cups．The outer cup can heat itself through electricity．The inner （里面的）cup holds the water．You can take out the inner cup and wash it after each use．
Millett and Harrison's friends liked their idea．
"Some people love the way it feels and how easy it is to use．Others just love tea and coffee and want the Kug on their desk，"Millett said．"It's much lighter than a kettle and very easy to carry．"
Millett and Harrison plan to sell their Kug in shops later this year．

19．Years ago，I lived in a building in a town．There was another building across from mine，and it was only a few metres away．There lived a woman whom I had never met．I could see her sit by the window each afternoon，drinking or reading．
Several months later，I noticed her window was very dirty．Everything was not clear through the window．I wondered why the woman didn't wash her window．
One sunny morning，I decided to clean up my apartment，including washing my windows．Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning，I sat down for a rest by the window．What a surprise!The woman sitting by her window was clearly seen!Her window was clean!Suddenly，I realized I had made a mistake．I was watching her through my dirty window all the time!
That was quite an important lesson for me．Since then，whenever I wanted to judge（判断）someone，I asked myself first，"Am I looking at him through the dirty window of my heart？"Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world clearly．
