Wind Power 4In some ways,tidal turbines are very similar to those used to make electricity from wind.For example,both types of turbine must have a very heavy foundation ()Wind turbines need them because they are very tall and might fall over in high winds.Tidal turbines need them because they are placed in narrow openings on the ocean floor.In these places,the force of the moving water is very strong. 5In other ways,the two types of turbines are quite different.The blades (of a tidal turbine must be much stronger than those of a wind turbine.A company called Verdant Energy built some model turbines for its project in New York City's East River.When they put the turbines into the river,the blades broke off at once.The company had to design new,stronger blades before the project could continue. 49.What can we learn about tidal power according to the text?

But in some western countries, they usually have a small bread roll and always put the napkin on their lap first. Chinese people prefer using chopsticks instead of forks and knives. What’s more, the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares, while everyone in western countries has their own plate of food. When the soup arrives at the end of the meal, a spoon is used.

Today I’d like to share with you how volunteering helps me grow. Volunteering is an activity that not only brings warmth to others but also makes me become a better person. Last term, to do something meaningful in my free time, I joined the school volunteer club I often went to the old people’s home to help the elderly clean rooms and chatted with them patiently. Sometimes, I read newspapers to them when they felt lonely. During the volunteer work, I gradually realized that caring for others is such a valuable lesson that I could never learn from books alone.
