The warm sun was shining through the windows, making him drowsy. And soon he nodded off and fell fast asleep. As he slept, Kenny began to dream about fantastic things.First he dreamed that he was a world-famous doctor, saving whole cities and curing（治愈）diseases. Then he dreamed that he was in a UFO. He was talking to strange but friendly space creatures (生物). Then he dreamed that he had become as small as a mouse by an evil（邪恶的）scientist.

A good ad uses the best pictures in the best place.We often see or hear ads on television and radio, in newspapers and magazines, at the cinema and on walls. But companies are always looking for better ideas, and they are now starting to put ads in more unusual places. We now see the names of products all around us-on tables, taxis or even in the sky.Sports stars receive a lot of money when they use a companys product or wear clothes with company logos. There are always new places for ads. In 2000, a Russian rocket went into space with the name of a pizza restaurant on its side. It was the first advertisement in space and there are plans for more.In the future when we look at the sky at night well see the moon, the stars and ad for cola.One ice cream company called Ben and Jerrys had a very original idea. They produced some plastic “jackets” for cows and they put the name of their company on the jackets. Then they paid a farmer to put the jackets on his cows.

But in fact it is more like one of those cordless phones(无线电话) used around the home. The only difference is that this one reaches much further than from the bathroom to the living room. It can travel across a whole city. Cheap costs are the main reason for the success of Little Smart. It costs 20 yuan a month for the line and about 0.1 yuan per minute to use. A mobile phone, on the other hand, can cost four or five times as much. Whats more, unlike mobile phones, theres no fee for incoming calls. So these low charges have attracted many users. But, Little Smart is not really that smart. Users often complain about its bad voice quality(质量). And there are not as many questions to pick up its signals as there are for mobile. “I couldnt receive a phone call if I was on a bus,” said Li Ping, one of the “Little Smart” users. “It worked fine when I stood still, but there were breaks in signal when I was moving.” Scientists are trying to make Little Smart more easy to use. Messaging and Internet even has a colour screen. ( )39.

There, its dark most of the winter, and light most of the summer. But in most of the world, people have used the sun for a clock. Even today, if you dont have a clock, you still know that when the sun shines, its day and when its dark, its night. The sun can also tell you if its morning, noon, or afternoon.People who live near the sea can tell time from the tides. In the daytime, for about six hours, the water rises higher and higher on the beach. And then it goes down and down for about six hours. The same thing happens again at night. There are two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours.Seamen on a ship learn how to tell time by looking at the moon and the stars. The whole sky is their clock.In some places in the world the wind comes up at about the same time every day or changes direction or stops blowing. In these places the wind can be the clock.A sand clock is an even better clock. If you had fine dry sand in a glass shaped like the one in the picture, you would have what is called an hourglass. The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom part in exactly one hour. When the hourglass is turned over, the sand will take another hour to go back again.( ) 43.
