Maybe most people know that there is water pollution, air pollution and noise pollution around us, but few people know that there is another kind of pollution—light pollution. In fact, it can be everywhere, depending on the time of the day.
Light pollution is the result of the wasted energy. Instead of providing light for people on the earth, most bright light shines into the sky, because people don’t design lights very well. At the same time, lights are brighter than necessary. All these cause light pollution. Stars in the night sky always provide everyone with wonderful sights(景色), but light pollution prevents them from being seen.
Some scientists say that light pollution can also bring some health problems to people, especially to kids. So it’s the high time for us to do something useful to stop light pollution.
根据短文内容,判断下列句子的正(T)误(F)。Light pollution isn’t serious enough for us to stop it now.
All the people know light pollution well today.
Most light shines into the sky instead of providing light for people.
People in big cities can’t see stars clearly in the night sky.
Light pollution doesn’t do harm to people’s health.

Water is important to all living things but some areas in the world are short of water a lot.So we should try to protect and save water.
A group of students from Zhejiang University have successfully developed an"air hand﹣washing machine".The machine uses an infrared ray induction system (红外线感应系统),which can feel the presenceof our hands.If it feels there are hands,the water with the air will come from the tap.And it has been proven that it is nearly as effective as traditional hand﹣washing.It uses only ten percent of the water that regular hand﹣washing does.The students have even set up a company to introduce the product to the public.
Li Qizhang,a member of the team that developed the machine,told a reporter that a model of their machine had already been placed in a classroom building at the university and it worked very well.
In 2014,a student called Chen Puyang first thought of the idea while he was washing his hands.Washing one's hands uses a lot of water,Chen thought.Would it be possible to replace the water with air? Others may not give the question a second thought.However,for Chen and Li,who were studying fluid mechanics (流体力学) at the time,this was considered to be an excellent idea.
Soon,Chen,Li and several classmates started on the project.After a year of research,the team cam up with a gravity﹣driven (重力驱动) hand﹣washing machine successfully.
