10、ut the cruel summer heat. When I lie in bed at night, I can hear the songs of the passing gondoliers (威尼斯的船夫) and the conversations in the square nearby.

11、. Besides, the printing trade has many roots (根源) in this area of Venice, even if some of the old publishers from the area are no longer there.Venice is like a large copy of our old library at home in Spain, full of dark corners and unexpected surprises, some very close to me. Last night, while sear

12、ching in the corners of the house, I found a single copy ofAristotles Poetics, published in the city in 1502. I raced to Uncle Leo with my discovery and a smile almost appeared on his face. A find, boy! Thisll fetch good money when I sell it down in the market.May I read a little first, sir? I asked

13、, feeling worried. Leo has a frightening manner at times.Books are for selling, not reading, he replied immediately.

16、 with people is frightening.C With a growing number of people in San Francisco choosing not to own a car, German carmaking company BMW has decided tobranch out intocar-sharing services with 70 cars spread around the city, first in 14 locations, with a further 100 being added gradually. “This is not

17、an A-to-A service it is A-to-B,” says Richard Steinberg, chief executive of the DriveNow scheme (方案), pointing out that members can pick up a car downtown for the half-hour drive to the airport for only $12, compared with about $40-50 for a taxi. Whether that is possible in real life depends on traf

18、fic, of course. A midmorning drive from Union Square down Highway 101 to the airport takes just 22 minutes; however, driving back during the rush hour takes twice as long. Most of the cars that are stuck in San Franciscos traffic jams are giving off all sorts of harmful gas. But not DriveNows BMW Ac

19、tiveE cars. “All the cars in San Francisco are electric,” Mr Steinberg says.In San Francisco, handing back the car to DriveNow is easy just pick one of its drop-off points, park and walk away. There are no forms to fill in, no time-consuming (耗时的) rules.Several other carmakers and other players with

21、rom company Frost & Sullivan, agrees.“Car sharing is growing at a pace (速度) we have not seen before,” he says. “By 2020 we believe there will be 15 million members of car-sharing schemes in Europe alone, with 140,000 vehicles in operation.”28.

24、uch until he moved to the countryside in Pittstown, New Jersey, seven years ago. Surrounded (被围绕) by working farms, he quickly became interested in the grow-it-yourself idea and rented a piece of 30-by-30-foot land. He planted tomatoes, eggplants and other vegetables enough to feed his family of fou

25、r for the summer. He ended up with so much produce; he couldnt give it away. He found a local food factory, and donated (捐赠) 120 pounds of fresh vegetables. The following year, with a handful of volunteers (志愿者) and a memorable name Americas Grow-a-Row, Paillex harvested 1,500 pounds of fresh vegeta

26、bles, all of which he donated to area food banks, places that give food to poor people. Soon Paillex had a hundred volunteers and needed more land.

On a Friday morning in May, some kids worked on a field. “Were growing food,”

29、 one fifth grader said proudly.“The program shows kids that there are people in need,” says Paillex. “When these kids become tomorrows leaders, theyll be much more likely to encourage their co-workers or employees to get involved in (参与) something like this.”“Chip makes people want to help,” says Co
