某菲律宾餐厅因其“愤怒之墙”成为公众关注的热点。食客可以把东西扔在这面墙上，让它摔个稀巴烂来发泄郁闷的心情。摔掷的东西包括从30美分的碟子到25美元的旧式电视机不等。

A 17-year-old boy Michael Morris, from Indiana USA, asked a friend to hit him with a car “for fun, the police said. He was in a stable condition at the hospital but with a broken leg. His 18-year-old friend, Stephen, who was driving at 25 mph when the car hit Morris, was charged[指控] with felony[重罪] criminal recklessness[鲁莽]. If convicted[证明有罪], he could face six months to three years in jail[监狱].

据警方称，一名来自美国印第安纳州的17岁男孩迈克尔・莫里斯要求他的朋友开车撞他，以寻求“”。如今他在医院，情况稳定，但断了一条腿。当时，他18岁的朋友史蒂芬以25英里的时速开车撞莫里斯。他已被控“鲁莽驾驶”的刑事重罪。一旦被判有罪，史蒂芬将入狱六个月至三年。

A 29-year-old perpetual[永久的] student, Johnny Lechner, has been studying for 12 years as an undergraduate[大学肄业生] student at the University of Wisconsin. By this spring he had completed 234 college credits, or about 100 more than needed to graduate. Recently, Lechner realized that if he went one more year, he could study abroad, which he had never done before. Had he graduated, he would have earned a liberal[文科的] studies degree in education, communications, theater, health and women’s studies.

Researchers in England and the United States think they know how to make an invisi-bility[隐形] cloak[斗篷] that is just like the one Harry Potter inherited[继承] from his father. The keys are special man-made materials, which are intended to steer light and other forms of electro-magnetic[电磁的] radiation[辐射] around an object. According to a physicist at the Imperial College London, it is theoretically[理论上] possible to do all these Harry Potter things, but what’s standing in the way is our engineering capabilities[能力].

英美研究人员表示他们知道如何制造隐形斗篷，就像哈利・波特从他父亲那继承下来的隐身斗篷一样。制造斗篷的关键是要使用特殊的人造材料，这种材料专门用来改变物体周围的光线及其它形式的电磁辐射的方向。 伦敦帝国理工学院的一位物理学家表示，要制造所有这些哈利・波特的东西理论上都是可能的，但目前阻碍我们的是实际的工程技术能力。
