Lesson 7－Part 4
Today, /
many scientists look at nature /
to get hints about new technology. //
Some scientists, /
for example, /
are studying a lizard in the desert. //
It drinks water /
little by little /
through its feet and spikes. //
Scientists think it possible /
to develop technologies /
for getting water in dry regions. //
Let’s take another look at nature. //
Nature has solved various problems /
with surprising systems and designs. //
Living things in nature /
have survived through hard times. //
Those that have survived millions of years /
have been successful /
because of their designs. //
Nature is a good designer /
that has built up effective systems /
without damaging the environment. //
We should guard this treasure of ideas /
and learn about those systems. //
How about looking around /
for hints of new technology /
hidden around you? //
