You need to have something strong around you to protect you from the falling objects.   27   The kitchen is dangerous because of many glass objects.        28   Stay away from buildings and trees.

But for 12-year-old Jonny Cohen, the smell of waste gases (废气）from school buses got him thinking about if there was a way to save more energy for the buses.      The main problem with school buses, Jonny realized, was their boxy shape. It takes more energy for a boxy bus to move forward through the air. He thought that improving its shape would reduce the energy needed to move a bus. His first idea was to add a clear windshield (挡风玻璃）to the front of the bus. In this way, this windshield would let air go up and over the bus.      Then, with the help of his sister and friends, Jonny started his project, which he called GreenShields. The GreenShields team needed money to design and test his idea. Jonny entered his idea in a contest in 2010. He tried all his best to get people's support online for his idea-he spoke with town councils, talked to customers at stores, and used social media to ask for people's support. Luckily, his hard work paid off, and his team won ﹩25, 000 to develop the idea.      After several years of researching and testing, a new design called the V4 was created. Instead of sitting on the front of the bus, the V4 sits on the roof of the bus like a hat. Its sloped（倾斜的）design allows air to flow over and around the bus more easily. In tests, buses using the V4 went farther on a tank of gasoline（一箱油）.                      According to the Greenshields team, the V4 can possibly save ＄600 every year for every bus. With all the school buses on the road in the United States, that could save millions of dollars every year.      Although it still takes time for the V4 to come into use, Jonny and his team believe they will succeed. So if the next school bus you take looks a little different, you may be witnessing（见证）Jonny's idea in action. 31.

Who helped Jonny start his project？ _____________________________________ 34. How much money can the V4 possibly save every year for every bus？  _____________________________________ 35.
