High School in Ningbo(HHSN),Zhejiang province in eastern China,won the coveted(梦寐以求的)title

intensity."
The design was chosen from almost 250 shortlisted projects,including Newark Liberty International
Airport's recently opened Terminal A,Australia's Holocaust Museum in Melbourne and new national

Deserts could be the best places on Earth for harvesting solar power.They are spacious,relatively flat,
and never short of sunlight.So researchers imagine it might be possible to transform the world's largest desert,
the Sahara,into a large solar farm,capable of meeting four times the world's current energy demand.
While the black surfaces of solar panels absorb most of the sunlight that reaches them,only around 15%
of that incoming energy gets turned into electricity.The rest is returned to the environment as heat,affecting
the climate.If these effects were only local,they might not matter in a thinly populated desert.But the area of
the installations (in the Sahara would be vast,covering thousands of square miles.Heat released from
an area this size will be redistributed by the flow of air in the atmosphere,haying regional and even global
effects on the climate.
