Skiing in Colorado

Summit - the name of the new summit of ski; although US citizens are more familiar with its slogan "Ski the Summit". Its special features way surpass what any seasoned skier could expect from a "snow paradise". And with reason: the fantastic Ski Summit has the longest skiing season in the world, thanks to the production of artificial snow. It has 10 mountains on which to ski and its pistes are open 24 hours a day due to an amazing lighting system. Sixty chairlifts, 358 pistes and 2,000 hectares of skiable terrain. And in your free time you can eat at, and enjoy the view from, the highest restaurant in the US, merely a detail among the 400 restaurants and shops there.
Of all the famous ski centers in Colorado, Summit is the closest to Denver International Airport (130 km). The complex is made up of four delightful centers: Copper Mountain, Keystone, Arapahoe Basin and Breckenridge.

Desafíos de la juventud
Las pandillas son el resultado de problemas básicos como la pobreza, la desintegración familiar, el desempleo, la deserción escolar, la desesperanza, el aburrimiento, el racismo, las drogas, etc. Para muchos jóvenes, las pandillas satisfacen la necesidad humana básica y esencial de pertenecer a un grupo, un sentimiento de identificación y afirmación del cual carecen en otros aspectos de sus vidas. Una encuesta de la Universidad de Chicago mostró que ahora mismo existen pandillas de jóvenes en casi todos los 50 estados de la nación, incluyendo Alaska y Hawaii.
Entre más haya pandillas y más incidentes violentos causen, mayor es la urgencia de encontrar una solución a este problema. Sin duda, la falta de inversión en la juventud de hoy asegura que las cárceles estarán repletas mañana.

El comienzo de una exposición sobre EL SOL
El sol sigue igual. Es más, si se hubiera intensificado sus radiaciones sólo en un 2%, los polos estarían derretidos. Lo que sí ha cambiado es la cantidad total de ozono en la estratósfera. Esto es por varias causas de origen humano, como el uso de aerosoles con compuestos químicos, que han hecho dismuir la presencia de este gas en la atmósfera. Su función es absorber la radiación ultravioleta que irradia el sol y así impedir que llegue a la superficie terrestre. De allí la sensación de que "el sol quema más". ETC

"Green" Cars-Autos "Verdes"
The world is running out of oil and what is left is becoming more and more expensive. While we try to reduce emissions and counter global warming, we ponder what is the vehicle with the cleanest and more efficient alternative fuel for the consumer?Hybrids, The Viable Option.
On this long road towards a world free of gasoline, hybrid cars powered by hydrogen, natural gas, electricity, diesel and bioethanol are gaining ground. There are promising options ahead, though not all of them are viable, either due to their high price tag or because their distribution outlets at alternative fuel stations are difficult to find.
These vehicles operate successfully in the main cities around the world and with a noticeably reduced pollution level. They feature two engines: one with an electric battery and the other an internal combustion engine, which alternate as needed. Whenever the electric one is off-line, the battery is charged. The most popular models in the United States are the Toyota Prius, the Honda Civic Hybrid and theFord Escape Hybrid.

According to the example above, please translate the following passages.
All the buildings feature the latest technologies in terms of energy efficiency and the use of environmentally friendly materials.
Beijing Olympic Stadium.
The Stadium designed by Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron uses 45,000 tons of steel displayed in a very atypical structure, similar in shape to a bird's nest.
Beijing National Aquatic Center.
The transparent surface of the Cube allows for plenty of sunlight to come in and to be reflected by the water in the pools.
