22、could blink his right eye and speak clearly again. But his smile hadnt returned. So I made a secret vow(誓言): I would abstain from smiles of any kind.Nothing made this easy.

28、 to understand the beauty and danger of wildlife. Living with big wild animals forces him to develop a good sense of where they have been and where they may be going. During his 12-kilometer walks to and from school, he learned how to tell the paw prints (爪印)of a lion from those of other animals.Gro
29、wing up, Kasaine knew that improving his tracking abilities would help him avoid surprise meetings with dangerous animals. For many Maasai, tracking is mainly a matter of self-protection.

Lopifit is an unusual means of transportation that allows you to power an electric bicycle by wal
36、king on a treadmill.Lopifit founder Bruin Bergmeester says it all started when he asked himself the question. “How can I use a treadmill outdoors?“ He eventually came up with a design, to which he added an electric engine, and Lopifit was born. The treadmill bicycle is similar to a typical electric
37、bicycle in that the motor only works when the rider puts power in as well. The Lopifit senses it when you walk on the treadmill and uses the motor to turn a drive chain at the back part - 10 -of the treadmill, helping you reach a top speed of 17 miles per hour.To use the Lopifit, simply turn on the
38、battery and use your feet to slide the treadmill backwards and activate (激活) the motor. Then get on and enjoy the ride!

40、ifit is struggling to keep up with demand, despite the high price tag of $ 2,115.But despite having a very loyal fan-base of so-called Lopifitters, the creative means of transportation also has naysayers who simply consider the invention stupid and unnecessary.
