After flying with my elderly father from Washington, D.C., to L.A. in July, I began to realie that a companion has important tass that can mae a journey easier for older people. I booed nonstop ticets on JetBlue to avoid tiring, confusing connections, and we flew directly into small, manageable Long Beach Airport.

wait with him at the gate instead of saying goodbye at the security checpoint. I wished he’d had a first-class seat and access to a comfortable airline club. Better yet, I wish I had flown with him both ways. As I watched the attendant wheel him to the lift that too him from the tarmac（飞机跑道）to the plane, I felt lie an anious mom sending her child to school for the first time.
Things can go awry on a plane trip. And then there is the horrifying story about Joe and Margie. When they landed at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, a wheelchair attendant met them to help with a connection. But somehow Margie, who had Alheimer’s disease, disappeared.

The fight is on to get rid of air pollution in our cities. While the best solution in the long-term would be to ban fossil-fueled cars, that won’t help the millions who are dying in the meantime, and so some high-tech solutions are now on the cards.
In March 2016, 10 London pigeons became famous. These pigeons too to the sy from Primrose Hill in north London, wearing bacpacs monitoring air pollution. Once in the air, the bacpacs sent live air-quality updates to the smartphones of the Londoners below.
The pigeons and their bacpacs were just the latest in a series of increasingly desperate attempts to monitor and control air pollution. London’s air pollution problem has been getting worse for years, and it often rises to more than three times the European Union’s legal limit.
Another promising approach can be found in Beijing, after China declared a “war against pollution” in 2014. A seven-metre-high “Smog Free Tower”, designed by a Dutch scientist, Daan Roosegaarde, opened in Beijing’s 751 D Par in September 2016.
It is a huge, outdoor air purifier. Airborne particles（颗粒）are suced into the tower where they receive a positive charge. The particles are then caught by a negatively charged dust-removal plate and clean air is blown out of the other end. “Changing smog particles does not tae much current.” Roosegaarde said. As for what to do with the collected PM waste, he has currently set up a business maing jewellery out of the waste. Prince Charles owns a set of “smog free” cufflins (袖扣). If collected on at a big scale, Roosegaarde believes it could even be used as a building material.
Meico City has an alternative solution. Looing to Nature to maimie the surface area of a building, Allison Dring, a Berlin-based architect, managed to catch light and wind from all sides. She is now maing a building material by burning agricultural crop by-products in the absence of oygen. “It means that you are actually taing carbon(碳) out of the sy, transforming it into a material, and then using it to build,” says Dring. The fight against outdoor air pollution is really just starting. Even if none of the ideas tae off, at least Prince Charles’ cufflins, the special building surface and pigeons wearing bac-pacs will have brought the issue more to the public’s attention.

A. monitor air pollution

30. What can we learn about the Smog Free Tower? A. Its power consumption is high. B. PM waste from it can be reused. C. It is built of agricultural by-products. D.

How are the world’s cities fighting smog? D. What maes smog a worldwide problem?

A group of young people tired of reading ‘bad news’ have taen things into their own hands – and created a free positive newspaper.
The Champion is the resulting newspaper, which was produced with the support of the Youth Wor Programme at LYCS (Lourdes Youth and Community Services) in Dublin’s north east inner city, and was funded by the County Dublin Youth Services Board (CDYSB).
The teens who put together the newspaper are aged from 13 – 19, and tired of reading in the media every day about young people hanging around and causing trouble.
This newspaper champions young people, covering a wide range of topics and including detailed reports of individual young people’s wor, ambition and achievements.
“They new themselves that there were a lot of good things happening,” eplained Sarah elleher, director of LYCS. “Their friends were achieving a lot and no one seems to comment about that.” She said that they piced the newspaper as opposed to any other media as “it’s the printed word people see and it stics in their mind”.
