A

Bed Rocks

The best seat in your house might be a pile of rocks — as

long as those rocks are living stones. These soft pillows look just

like stones. They come in a variety of colors and sizes, from small

decorative cushions to stone-shaped sofas. Pile them into a mini-

mountain to bring an outdoorsy feel to your living room, then

surprise your friends by plopping (扑通倒下) down without

bruising your body. Put the cushions on your bed, and you just

might “rock” yourself to sleep.

________

The Selk's bag is a body-shaped sleeping bag with separate

spaces for your arms and legs, giving you the freedom to jump,

run, dance, and play games. Putting on the Selk's bag is very easy,

with zippers (拉链) on either side of your body to help you get in

and out.

Aquarium Art

No room on your desk for a fish tank? Hang one on the wall!

Just four inches deep and about the size of a 30-inch television,

the Aquavista 500 is a living work of art. This aquarium comes

with everything you need to take care of your fish, including a

filter (过滤器), heater, and small computer screen that lets you set

temperature, program a timer for the lights, and control other

things. About eight fish can live comfortably in the aquarium. The

tank comes with a background that can be changed so you and

your fish will never get bored.

Phone Finder

Have you ever forgotten your cell phone at your house or on

the soccer field? If so, then the ZOMM can help. This small thing

can be attached to

your key chain and wirelessly connects to your phone.

Whenever you wander more than 30 feet away from your cell, the

ZOMM sounds an alarm. You can also answer calls on it. When

your phone rings, instead of digging around in your backpack to

find it, take out the ZOMM from your pocket and press the main

button to answer.

Imagine making your own bicycle. You can do it at the

Bamboo Bike Studio in New York City. The people who work at

the studio teach customers how to build their own bikes from

bamboo. “Bamboo is very user-friendly，” says Marty Odlin,

one of the studio's owners. “There's no way that a non-expert

could build a steel bike within a weekend. But with bamboo, it's

possible.”

The Bamboo Bike Studio is also helping set up factories in

Ghana, a country in western Africa. The factories will produce

inexpensive bamboo bikes in large numbers. If that is successful,

it might mean new jobs and inexpensive transportation for the

people of that country.
