To fly or not to fly? The environmental cost of air travel Though air travel is more popular than ever, the vast majority of people in the world have never been on a plane. As that dynamic slowly changes, the environment stands to suffer. Is flying less the only solution? When was the last time you traveled by plane? Various researchers say as little as between 5 and 10 percent of the global population fly in a given year. But things are changing. According to International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) estimates, there were 3.7 billion global air passengers in 2016- and every year since 2009 has been a new record-breaker. By 2035, the International Air Transport Association (lATA) predicts a rise to 7.2 billion. Like the planes themselves, the numbers just keep going up. And given the damage flying does to the planet, that is *food for thought*. *Not just the CO2* Many estimates put aviation's share of global C02 emissions at just above 2 percent. That's the figure the industry itself generally accepts. But according to Stefan Gossling, a professor at Sweden's Lund and Linnaeus universities and co-editor of the book Climate Change and Aviation: Issues, Challenges and Solutions, "That's only half the truth." Other aviation emissions such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), water vapor, particulates, contrails, and cirrus changes have additional warming effects. A few years ago, environmental group Germanwatch estimated that a single person taking one roundtrip flight from Germany to the Caribbean produces the same amount of damaging emissions as 80 average residents of Tanzania do in an entire year: around four metric tons of C02. The WWF carbon footprint calculator is instructive in this regard. Even a serious environmentalist who becomes vegan, heats using solar power and rides a bike to work, but who still take the occassional flight, wouldn't look very green at all. One of the most effective ways to reduce the amount of carbon footprint is by flying less often. This means in the case where other forms of transport are available, it is not a must for an individual to fly. As used at the end of Paragraph 2, the phrase 'food for thought' most nearly means .... A. something that is easy to do B. something that is very precious C. something that is very close D. something that is very ordinary E. something that is worth thinking ove

Is it OK to learn two languages? This has important implications. Parents of monolingual and bilingual children alike are eager for their little ones to utter the first words. It's an exciting time to learn more about what the baby is thinking. However, a common concern, especially for bilingual parents, is that their child is not learning fast enough. Parents of bilingual children also worry that their children will not know as many words as children who are raised with one language. To some extent, this concern is valid. Bilingual infants split their time between two languages, and thus, on average, hear fewer words in each. However, studies consistently show that bilingual children do not lag behind when both languages are considered. Vocabulary sizes of bilingual children, when combined across both languages, have been found to be equal to or greater than those of monolingual children. Another common concern is that bilingualism causes confusion. Part of this concern arises due to "code switching", a speaking behavim in which bilinguals combine both languages. Research shows bilingual children code-switch because bilingual adults around them do too. Code-switching in bilingual adults and children is rule-governed, not *haphazard*. The good news is young children all around the world can and do acquire two languages simultaneously. In fact, in many parts of the world, being bilingual is the norm rather than an exception. It is now understood that the constant need to shift attention between languages leads to several cognitive advantages. Research has found that bilingual adults and children show an improved executive functioning of the brain - that is, they are able to shift attention, switch between tasks and solve problems more easily. Bilinguals have also been found to have increased metalinguistic skills (the ability to think about language per se, and understand how it works). There is evidence that being bilingual makes the learning of a third language easier. Further, the accumulating effect of dual language experience is thought to translate into protective effects against cognitive decline with aging and the onset of Alzheimer's disease. So, if you want your child to know more than qne language, it's best to start at an early age, before she even starts speaking her first language. It won't confuse your child, and it could even give her a boost in other forms of cognition. As used in Paragraph 3, the word haphazard most nearly means .... A. systematic B. set C. wilful D. planned E. accidental

COVID-19: How to travel safely on the bus, train, and subway Navigating public transport during the pandemic, however, is something that even the most experienced commuter has never faced before. Getting around quickly now feels much less important than getting around safely. So, how might a savvy passenger reduce their risk? There are of course essential things you should do - wear a mask, avoid rush hours if you can, and follow physical distancing guidance in stations and onboard. Following local public health advice is the most important thing, and will reduce your risk significantly. But there are also less obvious measures that are worth knowing. Insights from transport research and passenger psychology can provide clues - as well as pointing to changes in how we will get around in the months ahead. With a respiratory disease like COVID-19, the more people breathing, coughing, and talking into the same air as you in a confined space, the more chance there is of being infected by the virus. If you can cycle, walk, or ride a scooter outside to get to work, that's your best option as there is more space to keep your distance from others. Cars are obviously personally safer too, provided you stick to travelling with those in your own household. But if everyone drives it will lead to a "tragedy of the commons" effect of more traffic, and greater environmental cost, so it's difficult to recommend as a socially responsible choice. If travelling by train, bus, and subway, one factor to consider when plotting your route is how well your method of transport is ventilated, according to Nick Tyler, a transport researcher at University College London, who has modelled the way that the virus propagates through buses. "Outside, in the open air, droplets are dissipated in the air and the wind," he explains. "Once we're inside, you get much less movement. " Designs differ, but the more windows the better. For this reason, a deep subway is more difficult to ventilate than a train or bus at the surface. According to a 2018 study by Lara Gosce at University College London, people who used the London underground regularly were more likely to suffer flu-like symptoms than those that didn't. During pandemic, how does subway compare with train and bus? A. Due to its ventilation system, traveling by subway poses higher risk than by train or bus. B. Subway, bus, and train are at the same level of danger. C. Traveling by train and bus are more dangerous than by subway. D. Traveling by train is the most to be avoided during pandemic. E. Traveling by bus is less dangerous compare with train and subway.
