Do you know the phrase “Weibo Addicts” (微博控)? Do you write a Weibo? If you don’t, you are “out”!
Weibo means microblog. People may spend much time writing a blog, but it takes a little time to write a microblog. Why? Because every message on a microblog is less than 140 words.
Microblog started in the USA. It came to China in 2009 and it grows very fast. In 2011, the number of Chinese micro-bloggers grew to 300 million. People write microblogs for many reasons. For many microblog users, it is a great way of learning the freshest news, talking with friends and sharing different kinds of information, including news, everyday life, pictures, music, videos and so on.
It is easy and fast to send a message on a microblog. However, this can also bring problems and even panic (恐慌). For example, when the big earthquake and tsunami (海啸) hit Japan in March, 2011, messages like “Salt can help people fight radiation (辐射)” were hot on microblogs. Then a crazy buying of salt followed. Later people knew it was just a rumor (谣言).

We've seen 3D films， 3D TVs and so on．They are so interesting that young people like to watch them very much．Have you ever read about 3D newspapers？That was what the Belgian（比利时的）newspaper，La Demiere Heure，tried to do for its readers．This was Europe's first 3D newspaper．
It took the team two months to make the 3D newspaper．The team printed 115，000copies of the special edition of La Demiere Heyre．It was more than the usual number of the printed copies．
Each of these newspapers came with a pair of free 3D glasses．All the photos and ads in the newspaper were in 3D and the text was the same as usual．Readers could get the best result by holding the paper 50cm away from the eyes．In fact，if people don't wear the 3D glasses，the newspaper will be terrible to read because the pictures are not clear．
Many readers tried to buy this kind of newspaper．In fact，some of them bought it just for fun．The team had no plans to continue it because it cost too much．

When it comes to long， distance space travel， the biggest， problem is that spaceships can only get as far as the fuel onboard allows． In 1964， a British writer Clarke came up with the idea of "solar sailing" in his science fiction． He wrote of large， mirror﹣like sails that collect power from the sun and free spaceships from the limitation of fuel．
This sci﹣fi idea was first successful brought to reality in 2010 by Japan's IKAROS satellite．Ever since then， the technology has improved mission by mission， with the latest being NASA's Advanced Composite Solar Sail 3（ACS3）． NASA has recently announced that it's going to team up with Lithuania's satellite﹣building company NanoAvionics to test its new sail ﹣in low﹣Earth orbit．
To many， a solar sail may look like a giant solar panel， but it actually works very differently．While solar panels take in energy from the sun and change it into power， solar sails use Photons given off by the sun to create direct power． Besides， solar panels are big and heavy to carry， while solar sails are just the opposite．
According to Abbott， the CEO of NanoAvionics， the upcoming low﹣Earth orbit trial with NASA， if successful， will be followed with deep﹣space missions that involve larger solar sails． Theseare ideal for low﹣cost and long﹣distance space travel because fuel will no longer be a problem．
"It started as a sci﹣fi dream，" Popular Mechanics reporter Jennifer Leman wrote． "Now it could be the future of space flight．"
