I was on the Sichuan Airlines passenger flight traveling from Chongqing to Lhasa. A plane was flying at a height of about 9,700 meters while an extremely loud sound was heard. The plane experienced a sudden lose of air pressure and drop in temperature. When I looked over, I saw a window was going and the passenger seated by that window had halfway out of the window. The passenger is wearing his seatbelt, because of that he was able to be pulled back inside the plane. Fortunately, he only suffered several minor injury. Difficult as it seemed to control the plane, but the pilot safely landed the plane in Chengdu. Neither of the plane’s 119 passengers were hurt.

Smog is a form of air pollution that is produced in the atmosphere when sunlight reacts with at least one volatile organic compound (VOC). When this reaction occurs, particles (微粒)are formed in the atmosphere, and oxygen at the ground level takes in harmful chemicals, thus creating what we consider smog. Recent years have seen an increase in campaigns for the reduction of smog due to its harmful effects towards both humans and the environment. 1.
Avoid high VOC products. VOCs are chemicals that easily escape into the atmosphere through common use around the house. Check the household products to determine if they contain VOCs. 2. If you must store some, do so in a tightly covered, original container so that VOCs can’t get out.
Avoid gas-powered yard equipment. Gasoline emissions are one of the major causes of smog — whether from cars or lawn equipment. Try environment-friendly lawn equipment that can be powered electrically. You can also change the material in your yard. 3.
4. When you choose products that are made in the place where you live, it cuts down on the cost of transport which reduces emissions. Local farmers' markets and grocery stores can help you determine where items were produced. There are even many restaurants that are joining the movement towards supporting locally grown items.
Be energy efficient in your home. The less energy you use at home, the fewer pollutants that go into the atmosphere. There are many ways to reduce energy use including through lighting, heating and cooling. 5.
A. Buy local products.
B. Shop for green products.
C. It is high time that we changed our habits to make a difference.
D. There are alternatives that look real, but require less care and attention.
E. If you must use them, buy in small quantities that can be used quickly.
F. Make a community garden. Grow vegetables and fruit for your community.
G. For example, try equipment that resets temperatures on its own while you're away.
The possibility of self-driving robot cars has often seemed like a futurist’s dream, years away from coming into reality in the real world. Well, the future is apparently now. The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for companies to test truly self-driving cars on public roads. The state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out self-driving cars, and for companies to operate driverless taxi services. California, it should be noted, isn't leading the way here. Companies have been testing their cars in cities across the country. It's hard to predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology may change our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is managed.
While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars, policymakers should be talking more about how self-driving cars can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions(排放)and offer more convenient and affordable choices to move around. The arrival of driverless cars is a chance to make sure that those cars are environmentally friendly and more shared.
Do we want to copy or even worsen the traffic of today with driverless cars? Imagine a future where most adults own their self-driving cars. They accept long, slow journeys to and from work on crowded highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride. They take their driverless car to a date and set the empty car to circle the building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the dry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus. The convenience even leads fewer people to take public transport — an unwelcome side effect researchers have already found in ride-hailing(网约车)services. Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless cars doesn't worsen the transportation system we have today. The coming technological development presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just have to plan for it.
