Ford Abandons Electric Vehicles

The Ford motor company’s abandonment of electric cars effectively signals the end of the road for the technology，analysts say．
General Motors。and Honda’ceased production of battery．powered cars in 1 999, to focus on fuel cell and hybrid electric gasoline engines, which are more attractive to the consumer．Ford has now announced it will do the same．
Three years ago．the company introduced the Think City two—seater car and a golf cart called the THINK, or Think Neighbor．It hoped to sell 5，000 cars each year and 10，000 carts．But a lack of demand means only about l，000 of the cars have been produced，and less than 1。700 carts have been sold so far in 2002．
“The bottom line is we don’t believe that this is the future of environment transport for the mass market．”Tim Holmes of Ford Europe said on Friday．“We feel we have given electric our best shot”
The Think City has a range of only about 53 miles and up to a six-hour battery recharge time．General Motors’EVI electric vehicle also had a limited range。of about 100 miles．
The very expensive batteries also mean electric cars cost much more than petrol-powered alternatives．An electric Toyot~RAV4 EV vehicle costs over$42，000 in the US, compared with just $17，000 for the petrol version．Toyota and Nissan…are now the only major automanufacturers to produce electric vehicles．
“There is a feeling that battery electric has been given its chance．Ford now has to move on with its hybrid program“，and that is what we will be judging them on，”Roger Higman，a senior transport campaigner at UK Friends of the Earth，told the Environment News Service．
Hybrid cars introduced by Toyota and Honda in the past few years have sold well．Hybrid engines Offer Greater mileage than petrol—only engines , and the batteries recharge themselves. Ford says it thinks such vehicles will help it meet planned new guidelines “on vehicle emissions” in the U.S.
However, it is not yet clear exactly what those guidelines will permit．In June，General Motors and Daimler Chrysler won a court injunction，delaying by two years Californian legislation requiring car—makers to offer 100，000 zero-emission and other low—emission vehicles in the state by 2003．Car manufacturers hope the legislation will be rewritten to allow for more low--emission，rather than zero—emission，vehicles．

B)They have done extensive research on electric Cars
C They have given up producing electric cars．
D)They have produced thousands of electric Cars

in-line skating and injuries

Increasing number of children are taking up in-line skating，and it is those new skaters who are most at risk for injuries，according to a statement from an American research institute．
Some 17.7 million people younger than age 18 participated in the sport in the US in 1996，a 24％ increase over the previous year．
Also in 1996，in-line skating injuries sent 76，000 skaters under the age of 21 to the emergency room．Inexperienced skaters accounted for 14％ of all injuries requiring treatment．
The most common reasons for injuries were losing one’s balance due to road debris，being unable to stop，out-of-control speeding，or falls while doing a trick．
One third of skating injuries are to the wrist，and two thirds of wrist injuries are fractures．Wearing wrist guards could reduce the number of these injuries by an estimated 87％，according to the AAP．
Likewise，elbow pads could reduce elbow injuries by 82％，and knee pads could reduce the number of knee injuries by 32％，advise the experts．
Helmet used by young skaters is required by law in New York and Oregon，and the research institute also recommends that young skaters wear a bicycle helmet or a similar approved sports helmet．
The age at which children are ready to use in．1ine skates depends upon a number of conditions，including the child’S foot size and body strength，general athletic ability and muscle coordination，and the ability to judge traffic and pay attention to the condition of the skating surface ahead，the expels advise．
The most dangerous skating practice，called‘truck—surfing’，involves skating while holding onto a moving vehicle．Few skaters have fatal injuries, but 31 out of 36 deaths reported since 1992 involved being knocked down by a motor vehicle，according to data from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission．

Why do people shrink?

Did you ever see the movie Honey, I shrunk the kids? It's about a wacky dad (who's also a scientist) who accidentally shrinks his kids with his homemade miniaturizing invention. Oops! ____1____.
For older people, shrinking isn't that dramatic or sudden at all. It takes place over years and may add up to only one inch or so off of their adult height (maybe a little more, maybe less), and this kind of shrinking can't be magically reversed, although there are things that can be done to stop it or slow it down. ___2___.
There are a few reasons. As people get older, they generally lose some muscle and fat from their bodies as part of the natural aging process. Gravity (the force that keeps your feet on the ground) take hold, and the bones in the spine, called vertebrae, may break down or degenerate, and start to collapse into one another. ___3___. But perhaps the most common reason why some older people shrink is because of osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis occurs when too much spongy bone tissue (which is found inside of most bones) is broken down and not enough new bone material is made. ___4___. Bones become smaller and weaker and can easily break if someone with osteoporosis is injured. Older people --especially women, who generally have smaller and lighter bones to begin with -- are more likely to develop osteoporosis. As years go by, a person with osteoporosis shrinks a little bit.
