At times we all get angry when we are driving. It might be because we are stuck in a traffic jam or behind a very slow driver. It might be because we think another driver has done something very stupid and dangerous. Whatever the reason is, it seems that getting angry in a car is something that happens more and more often and there is now a special term for it—road rage. Some experts even think it is a kind of mental illness! How can we recognize (识别) this “illness” of road rage?
There are two kinds of road rage: aggressive (侵略的) driving and aggressive reactions（反应） to the way other people are driving. Aggressive driving can take different forms:
●Driving much faster than the speed limit.
●Increasing your speed very quickly.
●Changing driving ways very suddenly and blocking another car.
●Moving into a parking space where another car is trying to park.
There are also different reactions to the way other people are driving. These include:
●Making rude signs at others.
●Shouting at others and threatening them.
●Driving into another person’s car on purpose.
●Hitting somebody.
Road rage is certainly not a joke. There have been incidents (严重事件) because of road rage which have led to serious injuries (重伤) and even deaths.
Experts think that one reason for road rage is that films show a lot of examples of fast and aggressive driving such as car chases. Experts also think that the punishments for dangerous driving are not serious enough. In the UK in the last 30 years, the police have been quite successful in reducing the number of people who drink and drive. They are now working to stop people using mobile phones when they are driving. Let’s hope they can have the same success with the road rage.

Drinking milk every day is good for your health. However, if one day someone gives you a cup of cow-free milk, will you still want to have a drink?
Recently, an American company named Perfect Day surprised the world with its synthetic (合成的) milk. The milk looks and tastes almost like cow milk and has all the same nutrients (营养素).
The creators of Perfect Day are two young scientists, Ryan Pandya and Perumal Gandhi. Working in different cities, they didn’t know each other at first. But they shared the same crazy idea about making milk without the help from cows. They thought it would make the world a kinder, greener place. After they met, they started working on a way of making their dream a reality.
The secret to making cow-free milk? Yeast (酵母), 3D printing technology and old fermentation processes (发酵方法). They have developed a process quite like making beer. The two scientists also say their milk has longer shelf life than the real milk. What’s more, it’s delicious, safe and Earth-friendly. “We want people to enjoy our milk, while leaving a kinder footprint on the planet,” say the two young men.
However, they also know it will be a long way before people accept their synthetic milk.
Before people accept the synthetic milk, maybe we should do something to reduce waste. A store in Scotland is doing such a thing. It sells milk in a vending machine (自动售货机). The vending machine allows people to refill their glass bottles with fresh milk. “The milk vending machine lets us work with a local farm to get really tasty milk for our customers without wasting plastic containers (集装箱),” one worker from the store said. It helps to save the store about one hundred plastic containers a day.
