Fuel for Tomorrow 新*课*标*第*一*网]
Can cars run without gasoline(汽油)?A fuel(燃料) is a substance(物质) that can be
burned to make energy. Today, gasoline is used as a fuel for cars and planes.

our food. It is also used to make hot water and to heat our homes. Methane is not as
heavy as gasoline, and it is safer. It does not explode(爆炸) easily. Also, when
methane burns, very little is left. The air stays lean. There are problems, however.

tanks(大容器). But scientists think they can solve the space problem. They hope that
safe, clean methane will be a fuel for our cars of tomorrow.1. The word fuel is used

When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence,
word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” a s an
example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your
translation(翻译)?It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.Languages do
not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to
master(掌握) therules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put
words in a wrong order, the listener ca n’t understand the speaker’s sentence easily.
Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning
of the sentence changes, But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the
sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.
“She ony like apples.” “Only she likes apples.”
“I have seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.”
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit(精神实质) of
the language and use it as the English speaker does.

is directed by Ang Lee. And he gets the Best Director Award for it. The film is about
the story of a young man called Pi. He takes a boat trip alone. He not only has to deal

ourselves.
