10、“When you see the leaves of the tiny flowers pushing toward the sun,youll know that its almost time for your son to come home.Theyll give you what you need most.”She walked me through the process of planting them.I thanked her-trying to show my gratitude for her gift.It was a long winter-cold and da

26、en releases it as heat to make the ice on the windshield disappear.According to a team of researchers at MIT,both cases may be possible before long,thanks to a new material that can store solar energy during the day and release it later as heat.This transparent polymer film could be applied to many
