Acid rain. Smallpox.
The disappearing ozone layer...
Just a short time ago, much of the world saw these things as our inevitable destiny. Fortunately, positive-minded scientists saw them as mere technical problems – to be overcome, just like any other scientific problem. And now they are overcoming them. Today, this scientific spirit continues in unusual, fascinating and uplifting ways in order to solve
our next generation of defining societal challenges based around big issues like climate & energy, food & nutrition, and health & wellness. A handful of inspirational people - that you’ve probably never heard of - are proving that science doesn’t just change the game.
It can change our world.
You just need big ideas and an even bigger heart...

Underneath the mango tree
The eave tube is a simple plastic pipe with a remarkable mosquito-killing gauze fitted into the walls beneath the roofs of African houses. It’s one of several life-saving innovations to be born underneath the mango tree, thanks to Dr Bart Knols and a team of more than 40 researchers from five countries, that he orchestrates.
As a renowned authority in malaria, Bart got tired of writing research papers about mosquitoes without putting that knowledge into practice…so he decided to set up a company that does just that. Not an easy decision when a glittering and comfortable career in academia beckons and you have a family and mortgage to consider…
Having raised all-important funding from the EU, Bart’s team decided to develop simple and affordable new tools to combat mosquitoes. So to help brainstorm ideas for killing malaria, he and a team of scientists flew out to Tanzania, where the disease is rife. But this team wasn’t full of entomologists like himself. Instead it brought together experts from unrelated fields, with different ideas and backgrounds. And together, they did their thinking and talking…underneath a mango tree: Very fruitful it proved too.
The result was the simple eave tube. Today, more than 1,500 homes in Tanzania have been fitted with eave tubes, protecting some 7,000 people. Bart’s dream is to tackle a further 1.2 million homes around Lake Victoria where malaria infects every third child. Tubes are reducing the number of malaria mosquitoes indoors by 85-90%. “For the first time in a very long time people tell us they are sleeping more peacefully at night,” says Bart.
And since dedicating his life to the massacre of malaria, so is he.

Getting bioplastics off the ground
What if we could produce plastic using one of nature’s most potent greenhouse gases (methane)? And what if that plastic wasn’t harmful to the environment but naturally biodegradable? What impact might an innovation like this have on the oceans, global warming, and the seemingly inevitable droughts, floods and human suffering it will cause to future generations?
This is the question that drifted into the mind of Molly Morse one fine day in California while consulting for a venture capital firm and listening to yet another bioscience pitch from people who didn’t really know what the and then suddenly realizing that: She did.
Within a few weeks Molly was learning how to create a start-up company from scratch. As a result, Mango Materials’ first field lab was based inside an old shipping container, with just one computer shared between four people, and not enough chairs.
The inspiration? Molly had conducted PhD research at Stanford University involving the production and biodegradation of a naturally occurring biopolymer, polyhydroxyalkanote (PHA). As a result she and her colleagues succeeded in creating a unique way of producing PHA using bacteria fed by methane.
And so, she decided to commercialize it.
Today, Mango Materials can produce methane-based PHA at cost parity to oil-based plastics. The current goal is to scale-up production to ten million pounds of biodegradable plastic, which requires a staggering half billion cubic feet of methane: Gas that would otherwise be trapping heat in the atmosphere and warming up our planet.

SCIENTISTS
A blueprint to walk again
“Most of us don’t realize what the human body is capable of until it’s too late.”
So says Robert Irving, co-inventor of REX – an astonishing ‘walking machine’ like no other. It contains 29 computers (the brain); 10 power Units (the muscles); hundreds of wires (the nerves); and a frame (the skeleton). Plus a joystick for steering. A total of 4,320 components – of which 4,318 are custom-made.
Like many great inventions it was born out of necessity. Robert was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis back in 2004 and with it an 80% chance of being wheelchair-bound. His best pal (and fellow engineer) Richard Little suggested they invent a pair of bionic legs to help him.
“We sat in the pub and scribbled down the first, very rough blueprint on the back of a beer coaster. It then took two years of working weekends in the garage before we finally had a working version, able to walk by itself.”
After a further six years and many ‘dark nights’ (including the sacrifice of family time, sleep and at times, sanity) they received funding for their start up, Rex Bionics.
Today, REX bionic legs are benefitting people from Korea to the United States, from paraplegics or stroke sufferers. For these people - for now at least - technology has beaten medicine in the race to help them walk again.
“Every time REX helps someone stand up it’s a deeply emotional experience for everyone,” he says. People have to literally re-imagine their lives again.”
With an estimated five million potential users in Europe and the United States alone, work has now begun on the next REX.
As for Robert, he continues to stand on his own two feet – in every respect.

“With billions of people hungry for protein, spirulina could be the spinach of the future.”

Going green
Back in the 1970s, spirulina - a high-protein, bright green algae found in remote corners of the world - was hailed as the “super food of the future”. With three times the protein of a chicken breast but just a fraction of the carbon footprint…how could it not be?
Several decades of disappointment followed. Even NASA scientists couldn't grow it truly efficiently (although of course growing any plant on a spacecraft is quite some challenge). Since then spirulina has been grown in laboratories and in both natural and man-made lakes. And now…the rooftops of Bangkok.
It's the ultimate in urban farming: Using otherwise vacant real estate to grow crops. And it's all the brainchild of Saumil Shah - a former aerospace engineer who decided to leave his corporate job and become a social entrepreneur.
&What always fascinated me was the ability of spirulina to remove CO2 from our atmosphere and use it to grow very quickly. In fact spirulina can double its mass in two to four days.& Today, some 1,500 square meters of Bangkok urban space (including the roof of the famous Novotel in Siam Square) is doubling as a spirulina farm. The plant is growing in semi-transparent and interconnected plastic tubs that feed through to a centralized harvesting unit, thus requiring very little space, water and manual labor compared to traditional methods.
Which is why Saumil's company EnerGaia is today providing spirulina in fresh paste, powdered, and frozen formats - as well as a range of spirulina pastas and bottled fruit juices.
Not that it’s been easy. “I began in 2009 and have been largely self-funded ever since. Sometimes I wonder if I'm throwing my savings away but then I see our products benefitting real people and realize it’s too late to stop now. Although we could definitely use some help from like-minded people!”
EnerGaia has recently launched a Kickstarter campaign offering its sprulina products as rewards. For anyone interested in supporting this cause please see the link below.

阅读理解。&&&& All over the planet, they are disappearing. Scientists are worried. It may mean the end of the world. I'm not talking about disappearing frogs. I'm talking about absent vowels (元音). I got a message the other daythat said," Mt@ 3rd st crnr@ 12", signed (签字) "BT". What did it mean? A young man in the office toldme that BT meant" beauty" and translated:" A beautiful young woman wants to meet you at the corner of Third Street at noon."&& &&&& The following week I was at a private dining club when a Hong Kong banker named David told me he had met with a man who pronounced his name Choong,but spelt C - H - N - G." There can't be many names with no vowels in them," he said. It turned out he was sitting next to a Singaporean doctor named Ng. Vowelsare disappearing at high speed among businesses, too. Ever wondered what happened to Reebok, the sportswear company? It's still around but has renamed itself Rbk. Kentucky Fried Chicken became KFC.&&&& &I've read articles saying that the no-vowels trend (趋向) is caused by companies trying to give theirproducts the shorthand spelling liked by young people. But a research finds that the real reason is often more uninteresting. Flickr,one of the busiest websites on the Internet, was set up by people who wanted the name Flicker but were too careless to register (注册) that word. &&&& Have any readers ever been to a small town in the mountains of California called Zzyzx? A man named Curtis Howe Springer founded it as a health club and called it Zzyzx because he thought it sounded different.The business failed. People who looked through lists for somewhere to go never reached it. &&&& Older readers may remember the computer game Zzyzzyzz that appeared in 1982. Fans did not know how to ask for it. James Gleick's book Faster has been re-titled FSTR. But the revision is half-hearted with the main text of the book still having vowels. Why not write the whole book in the simpler way? U cn stll rd the wtht vwls. On the other hand,just know that vowel-free words can be explained in different ways. One day I'll get a message from a BT& who may be a beauty. But I'm afraid a bat (蝙蝠) will be out there. 1. The writer's purpose in the passage is _______. A. to introduce a new trend B. to study a new languageC. to correct a new mistake&D. to show a new method 2. The word "around" in the third paragraph means _______. A. on every sideB. here and there C. present in a place D. without special purposes 3. What's the result of the use of vowel-free words,according to the passage? A. It makes communication easier. B. It helps us write more quickly. C. It bringsa lot of fun to people.D. It causes some trouble in life. 4. What does the writer think of the use of vowel-free words? A. He doubts the idea a little. B. He doesn't mind the matter. C. He doesn't think it's good to do so. D. He accepts the idea at last.

阅读理解。&&&& Talking on a mobile phone is expensive, so a lot of people send text messages. Text messages are much cheaper by making the words shorter. You can do this by taking out "unimportant" letters in the words and using numbers instead of words (2=to, 3=free, 4 = for, 8 = ate, so, etc. ). You can also keepa way from using punctuation. Here is an example: Do u wnt 2 g 2 th cnma tnit? (Do you want go to the cinema tonight?)&&&& What do you think these text messages mean?&&&& Whr hv U bn? Iv bn wing hrs fr a cll.&&&& Im hm nw, why nt gv me a cll.&&&&&I gt a txt mssge frm my frnd. Shes hvng a prty on Strdy. &&&& Mobile phone users have developed a group of symbols to show how they feel. They are called emoticons, and there are some examples below. To read an emoticon, you have to look at it sideways. For example, if you say something in a text message that is a joke, you can follow it with a smiling face. Like this :&&&& Why didt you call me? I'm so sad.－ (Here are some others. Can you think of text messages where you could use them? -) laughing, -( sad,& -& really&sad,&&-o&shocked,&&-v shouting,&&| . | asleep,&&8－| ,&surprised,&&/\-o& bored.
