When I first saw this title I though it was really interesting. In Washington a new study says "There's enough power in trees to run an electronic circuit." I never thought of a tree contains electricities, it really shocked me. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) said that plants generate up to 200 millivolts when one electrode is placed in a plant and the other in the surrounding soil. So if the trees really has electron inside, it can actually help the planet to using natural electricity and provide to human for house, school, and companies etc. to consume electricities. The UW (University of Washington) team did further academic research in the field of tree power by building a circuit to run off that energy, and they successfully ran a circuit just for the first time on a tree power. Tree power is unlikely to replace solar power for most applications, but he system could provide a low-cost option for powering tree sensors that might be used to detect environmental conditions or forest fires. The electronic output could also be used to gauge a tree's health.

**Line 4 Subway** A new subway line 4 starts operation in beijing september 28, 2009. Instead of the old subway they has it is much faster and not crowed. The Subway Line 4 started operation at 3 pm on Monday. Running through the city from the northwest to south, the line will help relieve the pressure of old subway lines. The new subway's design is improved and convenient. I think over a period of time all the subways in Beijing will change into the new one.

**Week 4** A shock news about a six-month-old baby had a miraculous escape after his stroller rolled off a railway station platform and into the path of an incoming train. The incident happened at Ashburton railway station in Melbourne, Australia, and was capture by CCTV. On the footage from the camera shows that the baby's mother let go of the stroll just fora second, and the wind blowed the stroller away over the edge of the platform, when the mother was about to catches the stroller it was to late, because a train pulls in to the station. The stroller and baby were dragged 30 meters further up the track before the train stopped. A spokesman for train operator Connex, told Australia's Channel 7 television station: "It's a miracle this baby wasn't killed. The baby managed to escape with just a cut to the forehead, I'm told. It's a complete miracle." The baby boy was quickly rescued and reunited wih his distraught mother. He was taken to Melbourne's Royal Children's Hospital but was later discharged.

This Sunday morning, 74 people were killed and 265 wounded in twin suicide car bombings near government offices in central Baghdad. The cars detonated quickly near Iraqi government buildings around 10:30 a.m. So many people got injured from this incident. I hope one day the terrorist will stop aim the poor citizens, and stop terrorizing the innocents.
