Inventions improve our lives, but not all of them. Once in a while, a“silly” idea may appear.Of the four real inventions below, which do you think will disappear And which would you like to have
Fish on Wheels Common fish tanks(鱼缸) just sit in one place. That's a huge problem for a pet fish that wants to see the world ( or at least the other rooms). This invention gives fish the freedom to roam(漫游). A fish tank sits on top of a robotic car. A camera watches the fish, and the car drives in the same direction as the fish swims!
IllumiBowl Getting up at night to go to the washing room can be risky. Turn on the light, and it might blind you. Wouldn't it be great if the toilet sensed your movement and then gave out soft light That's the idea behind IllumiBowl!
The Ostrichpillow(鸵鸟枕) Your eyes are heavy in the study hall, but the hard desk isn't comfortable. And the room is crowded. It's too bad that you don't have a pillow. This invention fits over the whole head—— with a breathing hole around the nose and mouth!
The Meat Soap Lots of people love the smell of fresh meat in a frying pan(煎锅). But do you really want to smear(涂抹) it all over your body TheMeat Soap is made from animal fat. You can smell meat without eating it! But do not try to eat it no matter how delicious it smells!

A. It can help improve our lives.
B. It has the ability of moving around.
C. It is a tank for keeping fish in.

Here is the car of the future! This car is very different from today's cars. It is quiet and clean.Today's cars have wheels, but this one does not.It moves like a snail(蜗牛), but is much faster than a snail!
This car will use electricity(电). People can make it full of electricity very quickly. It will also be very easy to drive. In fact, you don't need to drive it because it will drive itself. You will just need to tell the computer“Go to…” and then the car will take you there. Also, it will reach the place very quickly, much faster than today's cars.It will also be very safe and comfortable.
A lot of technology have already appeared,but it is at the experimental stage(试验阶段).Fifty years from now, maybe sooner, some new roads will have solar panels and some cars will be able to use them.
However, you may not be able to drive a“snail car”, even if you' re only under 20 today.Maybe this is the car of the year 2100, and your grandchildren may drive it.
