Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were important figures They met while campaigning to put a n 36 to slavery In the process they decided that women also should have more 37 Yet despite the 38

twist on this old resource could cause the energy output of wind power plants to increase greatly Standard wind power plants rely on strong support and 42 can only reach a height of 200 meters or so Higher than that winds tend to be stronger and steadier but the challenge is 43 how to obtain the energy from those winds Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences in Germany have formed a kite power research group The group is working to develop kites with inflatable 可充气的 wings 44 to electrical generators 发电机 on the ground The research group s goal is to design a kite that can operate on its own for 24 hours Research has begun but many challenges remain including making the generators more 45 and 宝山区宝山区 20182018

blowing kites are 48 from the ends of poles with high resistance cables to control their height and angle These cables are able to move the kites if the system senses coming objects 49 planes helicopters or even individual birds The kites themselves are light tough and able to reach fairly high altitudes They loop 绕 行 around in the wind which sets the center of the generator in motion 50 electric current KiteGen has the 51 to be very cost effective in the long run After the original cost of designing and setting up the plant little 52 investment will be necessary apart from standard maintenance The plant also requires 53 little space which makes it ideal for cities and means that multiple plants can be set up to provide even more 54 Kite power has the potential to greatly 55 on

in the spine gradually breaks down As a consequence the bones in the spine begin to rub against each other This further harms the tissue as well as the bones The result is pain in the joints and sometimes in nerves near the spine This painful problem is actually a disease called osteoporosis Some people are more at risk of osteoporosis because of genes that they inherited from their ancestors

osteoporosis from developing in their spine The most important step is exercise Stretches can help the muscles around the spine relax and allow bones to shift into better alignment 排列 Strength exercises with light weights or body weight exercises like pushups can also help by strengthening the muscles around the spine However people should not overdo these exercises as repeated motions can strain the muscles around the spine Trying to lift heavy weights with poor technique can have the same effect Another important factor is diet It affects the health of the spine because many vitamins are necessary for bones and nerves These include B vitamins and omega 3 fatty acids all of which help keep nerves healthy People can get more B vitamins and omega 3 fatty acids by taking supplements sold by stores Another important factor is vitamin D which is essential for strong bones All of these vitamins and acids can be obtained from foods Thus people can help themselves by including them in their daily diets 56 What does this article mainly explain A Various aspects of a medical condition B The actions of viruses that cause illnesses C Drugs often used to solve physical issues D The

roads and even split houses in two This crack appeared out of nowhere after heavy rains and an increase in seismic 地震的 activity Some scientists believe that it s further proof that Africa is slowly splitting apart Once a very long time ago Africa and South America were one landmass before they separated Similarly one day in the very distant future a large part of East Africa will split off from the rest of the continent This will create a new landmass and a new ocean The breakup is a result of plate tectonics 板块 运动 the gradual motion of different parts of the Earth s crust When plates of the Earth separate and tear away from each other it is called rifting The result is a rift valley Scientists don t understand the exact mechanism behind rifting but the results are easy to observe in the East African Rift System EARS That s why studying this part of the world is so important The East African Rift System begins in the north in Ethiopia where three plates are moving away from each other Two of them are continental plates the African and Arabian plates They are tectonic plates that have a large landmass above water The third is the Somali plate considered a minor plate which is steadily moving away from the other two But don t plan on visiting the new ocean anytime soon The plates are moving at a rate of about 6 millimeters a year At that speed millions of years will pass before a new ocean is formed EARS is not all bad news for Kenya A rift valley is composed of an area where there is increased volcanic activity and thinned planetary crust This makes it easier to take
