Question

Usually students are not encouraged to run or jump around in the corridor (走廊). However students in a British grammar school really enjoy running on the corridor tiles (瓷砖) and their teachers even encourage them to do that.
Why? It is because the corridor was built with special kinetic (动能的) tiles. When students jump on the tiles electricity will be generated ( 产生). After one year the electricity generated from the tiles can fully charge 853 mobile phones or power(供电) an electric car to drive seven miles. It’s amazing isn’t it?
The corridor tiles are really a brilliant invention. Students can not only play on the corridor but also help power the lights in their school corridors and other devices ( 设备) in their classrooms. Besides this is a good way to teach students to be creative. They will be inspired to be scientists inventors and engineers in the future to find clean energy for all humans.
The inventor of the magic corridor tiles is Laurence Kemball-Cook. He was once a student in this school. Now he is CEO of his own company. The corridor tiles are not Laurence’s only invention. He has also invented a special dance floor which can be used at music festivals. It allows dancers to charge their mobile phones while they are dancing on the dance floor.
