Skipping Rocks Lab is changing how you and your future generations will have water. Have you ever thought you could eat water? Think again, this is actually happening somewhere in the world.The group at Skipping Rocks Lab has made a water bottle you can eat. The product is called Ooho. Unlike plastic bottles, Oohos are neither tall nor hard. They look more likebubbles, or small, round, clear balls. They can hold liquid inside. People who drink Oohos can be surprised: the outside bursts in the mouth.Rodrigo Garcia Gonzalez is with Skipping Rocks Lab. He explains that the outside, or themembrane, of Ooho is made of seaweed, a plant that grows in the ocean. “Its a membrane made of seaweed that can contain water or any kind of liquid. Its made from anextract (汁)of the brown seaweed.”The Ooho membrane is tasteless, and you can eat it. The company says even if you throw away the membrane, it willbreak downin about four weeks. Gonzalez says the membrane is strong, and good for the environment.Every year, billions of plastic water bottles are thrown away, polluting land and waterways around the world. The typical water bottle made of plastic can take hundreds of years to degrade.Lise Honsinger is also with Skipping Rocks Lab. “Most people just grab a bottle of water, hold it for five minutes, drink it, and throw it away. How can that then exist for 700 years? So, yeah, this is absolutely a solution to that. We are verypurist: we dont want to see this packaged in plastic.”There are limits to the Ooho. It cannot be refilled. Each bottle is small. And Oohos do not store for more than a few days. The Skipping Rocks Lab is working on those issues. “Were still working on things like extending the shelf life, looking at different options in terms of thickness, if we want to make one that stands up more, or more flexiblefor marathons where people just want to eat it whole.”Right now, Skipping Rocks Lab can make only a few thousand Oohos a day. But it is developing new technology that could increase that number to hundreds of thousands.Im Caty Weaver. Kevin Enochs wrote this story. Anne Ball adapted it for Learning English. Kelly Jean Kelly was the editor.60. The advantage of Oohos is that _.A. Oohos can be stored over a long period B. Oohos can degrade easily and quicklyC. Oohos may bring convenience to people D.

Electric cars users may also eventually be able to charge their vehicles wirelessly using the same technology according to Fujitsu, which presented a system at an Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers Conference at Osaka Prefecture University.Claiming to be the worlds first of its kind, the technology works on the basis of the transmission of electricity using magnetic fields between the charger and the electronic device. The system enables wireless charging at distances of up to several metres, with the final aim of installing public “charging spots” on the streets in order to enable easy charging around the clock.Scientists at Fujitsu Laboratories are planning to commercially sell products including the new wireless charging system as early as 2012 but did not make it clear how much they would cost. “This technology makes it possible to add compact wireless charging functions into mobile phones and enabling several portable devices to be charged at the same time without any restrictions（限制）on their position in association with the charger,” the company said in a statement.The growing popularity of portable electronic devices ranging from iPads to e-readers is expected to fuel a boom in wireless recharging technology developments over the coming decade. Mobile phone users in Japan can currently fill up their batteries using disposable（一次性的）portable plug-in battery-operated devices - available at most train stations and convenience stores - although phone c
