When Deepa found a dress that jingled, too, she cried, "That one!',For nine nights, she and her aunt had laughed and danced in the village with their skirts. And now the dress no longer fit."Can we have it changed?" Deepa asked. "We can try," said Mom. But when the tailor looked a( the dress, he shook his head. He said it could only be made smaller.

Deepa tried getting into the holiday spirit as they drove to the Navratri party. But her dress was too quiet.In the parking lot, Mom opened the car trunk to put away her bag. Deepa noticed a familiar bag. "Is that my dress?" she asked. "I forgot to put it away," Mom said, closing the trunk. No one would ever see it again, Deepa thought sadly.As they neared (he dance hall, Deepa heard drums beating and people laughing. Inside, hundreds of dancers clacked colorful sticks together in a circle. The room felt warm and alive.A lady danced past and her little girl followed, jumping along holding sticks tied with bells.

It was a wonderful chance to work from home, but it hit me that my career in hospital wasn't making a difference in anyone's life. I needed something that would stretch my limits and push me to grow. My career enabled me to work from home. I could work from home, and become a foster mother, providing safety for a child who needed it desperately.On Monday morning. I picked up the phone and dialed the number i had Googled for the nearest Department of Children's Services. The man on the other end was receptive to my questions and explained the next step of training, involving eight weeks of classes designed lo prepare and educate foster parents. We continued through all the classes, the home visits, background checks, and seemingly endless steps.Five long months after we were approved, the phone rang. In the middle of the night, I woke my husband and rushed to East Tennessee Children's Hospital. Our placementwas waiting for us in the emergency room, sick and lack of nutrition. It didn't take long for us to realize the full depth of her suffering. Six months later, her half- brother came to us by our request.

But some experts say it could someday power our homes. Fusion happens when the nuclei (核)of two atoms are subjected to extreme heat. This leads to the formation of a new larger atom and large amounts of energy. One problem is the process itself requires a large amount of energy. Developers of the technology haven't yet performed a fusion reaction that releases more energy than it requires. In addition, running an electric power plant of fusion would require the resulting heat (o be contained in an economical way.Advanced nuclear plants would be smaller than today's massive nuclear reactors. Experts say they could be used in rural areas and could take over for wind and solar power when （he sun goes down or the wind dies. But advanced nuclear reactors are difficult and costly to build. Critics say they would also create more waste. And they would run on uranium （铀），which could make some advanced reactors more appealing to militants （激进分 子）seeking materials to make weapons.Currently, there arc 15 direct air capture plants operating worldwide, getting CO directly from the air and puts the gas underground. The costs are currently high. But supporters say those costs will fall as the technology improves. They also say tax breaks fbr businesses could help （he technology. But critics say offering large credits could actually lead to more plants continuing to burn fossil fuels.Hydrogen （氢）can be mixed with natural gas to make a cleaner-burning fuel. This could power a fuel cell vehicle. Such a vehicle would release environmentally friendly water vapors.So-called clean hydrogen can be produced using energy methods such as wind and solar. But those methods arc more costly than “grey hydrogcn, which is made with fossil fuels. Geothermal power plants capture heat up to 370 degrees Celsius far below the earth's surface. The heat creates steam that can turn turbines （涡轮机）to produce electricity. But the technology would need to greatly expand to become a major alternative to fossil fuels. 28.
