20、t the same time he studied traditional Chinese medicine. And, he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging.

21、tioning of the body as well as its aging process. It is responsible for the level of activity that the human bodies go through.

Thats

28、 because the school was the first to install ( 安装 ) the specially-designed Pavegen floor tiles (地砖) in America.The tiles use kinetic energy (动能) expanded by the kids and transform it into electricity that can be used to power classroom lights, science projects and charge electronic devices. The firs

29、t US installation of Pavegen tiles near the schools student center is thanks to 14-year-old Zach Halem, who managed to convince the officials to purchase them.Besides providing fun green energy, the tiles also serve as a learning tool.

In fact, why stop at schools? These tiles could be installed everywhere, from sidew
