21、The annual Global Grad Show in Dubai is never short on ideas. Some are confusing, but others might just change the world. “People are extremely concerned about health and mental health, “Global Grad Show director Tadeu Caravieri said. “People are(also)concerned about how to make the house a place that is civilized for work, for education, for healthcare and food security. “
As ever, the environment was high up the agenda. Dalilah Mansoor and Kaya Tueni, students at the Dubai Institute of Design and Innovation, created “Wastology, “an indoor composting machine that doubles as herb and vegetable grower.
“We’re trying to solve overmuch food waste in the UAE(United Arab Emirates), “said Tueni. “We’re hoping that this small project, conducted at a domestic level, could have a bigger impact globally,” added Mansoor.
Mazyar Etehadi, a student at the same institution, similarly looked to home with “A” seedbot, “his solar-powered robot designed to sow seeds in the desert. “I just wish that there were more plants, more greenery out there, he said.
A’seedbot is about 20 cm long and designed to recharge during the day and work by night. Working autonomously within a set five kilometer radius, its3D-printed legs crawl through sand in search of the right levels of moisture (detected through one of its “eyes”) in which to plant a seed. With built-in collision avoidance, humans are only required to refill the robot.
Caravieri anticipates environmentally conscious innovations will only increase at future GlobalGrad Shows. “I think the conversations that are happening now will have an even bigger impact on the applications in the future years,” he said.
He also argues the show is the perfect catalyst for change. “Global Grad Show has that power. It sparks something in you, “Caravieri said. “You’ll get first motivated; then hopeful that things can change faster than we thought.”

24、We do not know when man first began to use salt, but we do know that it has been used in many different ways throughout history. Historical evidence shows, for example, that people who lived over 3,000 years ago ate salted fish. Thousands of years ago in Egypt, salt was used to preserve (保存) the dead.
Stealing salt was considered a major crime (罪行) during some periods of history. In the eighteenth century, for example, if a person was caught stealing salt, he could be put in prison and his ears could be cut off.
In the Roman Empire, one of the most important roads was the one that carried salt from the salt mines to Rome. Guards were stationed(安置) along the route to protect against salt thieves, and they received their pay in salt, thus bringing the English word, salary. Any guard who fell asleep while on duty was thought to be “not worth his salt”, and as a result he would get a little less salt on his next payday. The expression, “not worth his salt”, is still used today in English.
In the modern world salt has many uses beyond the dining table. It is used in making glass and airplane parts, in the growing of crops, and in the killing of weeds (杂草). It is also used to make water soft, to melt (融化) ice on roads and highways, to make soap, and to fix colors in cloth.
Salt can be got in various ways besides being taken from mines underground. Salt water from the ocean, salt water lakes or small seas can be used to make salt. Yet, no matter where it comes from, salt will continue to play an important role in the lives of people everywhere.
