18、ng rides，and the DialaBus system is designed to do this as well.Information from the study for the new system suggests that depending on passengersneed，doortodoor transportation can serve its passengers almost as fast as a private taxi but at onequarter to onehalf the price.The key point is that the
19、 DialaBus may do what other transportation systems dont do now.The system will attract more offpeak(非高峰期的) business than other normal transportation does.And if it does attract enough passengers，the offpeak income would keep DialaBus away from the economic problems faced by other transportation serv
20、ices，which are used only 3 or 4 hours a day.It could also help reduce dependence upon cars.There is little question that the idea for the DialaBus system will come true.Most of the existing vehicles can comfortably carry 12 to 24 passengers.Some can also offer services to airports.Computers，radio co
21、mmunications and telephone links are enough for the needs of the DialaBus system.A limited demonstration(演示) of the DialaBus idea can almost certainly be finished within 3 years at a cost of less than 1 million using existing equipment.A fullscale(全面的) demonstration of the DialaBus service，using veh

36、entists are divided over whether and when GM food should be put into market.Supporters and opponents have also been facing_off over environmental safety and economic security issues.The government has put food security high in its national development plans.National grain output reached 531 million
37、tons last year，government data showed.But summer grain output fell by 0.3 percent this year to 123.1 million tons because of drought and low temperatures in grainproducing regions.With an increasing population and more natural disasters，policymakers are eyeing technology as a solution and hoping dis

39、.GM crops have also fewer insects and diseases，which means they are safer for human beings and the environment，they argue.However，opponents say any GM food，as a completely new product，should be absolutely safe before it is made available to the public.They argue that if insects dont eat GM crops，how
40、 can you expect people to eat them?In 2006，countries that grew 97% of the global GM crops were the United States (53%)，Argentina (17%)，Brazil (11%)，Canada (6%)，India (4%)，China (3%)，Paraguay (2%) and South Africa (1%)The next decade will see great progress in GM product development.Technologies for

46、o classmates invented a new kind of alarm clock：a wooden box with a pig face and a digital clock that uses the smell of cooking bacon rather than sound to wake someone up.He explains，“Theres no danger of burning，because I built it carefully.It uses halogen light bulbs instead of a flame for cooking
47、and turns off automatically after ten minutes.”Just a few easy steps are required to set the “alarm”“What you do is put a couple of frozen strips in the night before，”says Sallin.Bacon is cured，or preserved，so there is no danger of it spoiling overnight.“If you set the alarm for 800，it will turn on
