Can you imagine a cloud floating in the middle of your room? Do you want

to know what it feels like to fly like a bird? Find your answers in Time

Magazine's 25 "Best Inventions". Here, we have picked out the most interesting 4

to share with you.

Talking Gloves

Ever felt confused by the sign language used by disabled people? Here is

the "helping hand"you need. Four Ukrainian students have created a pair of

gloves that helps people with hearing and speech problems communicate with

others. The gloves are equipped with sensors that recognize sign language and

translate it into text on a smartphone. Then the smartphone changes the text to

spoken words.

Google Glasses

Google Glasses are like a computer built into the frame of a pair of

glasses. With its 1.3-centimeter display, the glasses allow you to surf the

Internet and make calls without even lifting a finger. The glasses also have a

camera and GPS mapping system. Users can take and share photos, check maps and

surf the Internet just by looking up, down, left and right.

Indoor Clouds

It's not virtual.That's a real world.Dutch artist Smilde managed to

create a small but perfect white cloud in the middle of a room using a fog

machine.But it required careful planning-the temperature, humidity（湿度）and

lighting all had to be just right.Once everything was ready, the cloud formed in

the air with the machine.But it only lasted for a short while.

Wingsuits

The suit fulfills your dreams of flying like a bird.Well, not exactly

flying, but gliding（滑翔）through the air.It increases the surface area of the

human body, which makes it easier for people to float in the air. Fliers wearing

wingsuits can glide one kilometer in about 30 seconds.

Almost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of

another in some way. Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in

different ways, and at different times on the calendar.

In Western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on

December 31st or January 1st.People may go to parties, sometimes dressed in

formal clothes, and they may drink champagne（香槟）at midnight.During the first

minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year

ahead.But some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to

watch the sunrise.They welcome the new year with the first light of the sunrise.

Many cultures also do special things to get rid of bad luck at the

beginning of a new year.For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from

old clothes.The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers.At midnight,

these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone and

the new year can start afresh（重新）.

Other common traditions to keep away bad luck in a new year include

throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying special things on the first

day of the new year.

Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck in the new

year.One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New

Year's Day.The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will

have in the new year.In France, people eat pancakes for good luck at New Year.In

the United States, some people eat black-eyed peas for good luck-but to get good

luck for a whole year you have to eat 365 of them！
