Baggy has become the first dog in the UK - and potentially the world - to join the fight against air pollution by recording pollutant levels near the ground.
   Baggy wears a pollution monitor on her collar so she can take data measurements close to the ground.Her monitor has shown that air pollution levels are higher closer to ground level,which has helped highlight concerns that babies and young kids may be at higher risk of developing lung problems.
   Conventional air pollution monitors are normally fixed on lampposts at about nine feet in the air.However,since Baggy stands at about the same height as a child in a pushchair (嬰兒車),she frequently records pollution levels which are much higher than the data gathered by the Environment Agency.
   The doggy data research was the idea of Baggy's 13-year-old owner Tom Hunt and his dad Matt.The English youngster noticed that pollution levels are around two-thirds higher close to the ground than they are in the air at the height where they are recorded by the agency.Tom has since reported the shocking findings to the government in an attempt to emphasize that babies are at higher risk of developing asthma (哮喘).
   Matt Hunt said he was "very proud" of his son because "when the boy gets an idea,he keeps his head down and gets on with it,and he really does want to do some good and stop young kids from getting asthma."
   "Tom built up a passion for environmental protection at a very early age," Matt added. "He became very interested in gadgets (小裝置).About one year ago,he got this new piece of tech which is like a test tube.One Sunday afternoon,we went out to do some monitoring,and he said, 'why don't we put it on Baggy's collar and let her monitor the pollution?' So we did it."
   Tom said, "Most of the time,Baggy is just like any other dog.But for the rest of the time she is a super dog,and we are all really proud of her."

  • 2.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
       I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
       One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
       I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
       The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
       I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
       I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
       "They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
       The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
       That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.

    (1)Where may the boy live according to the passage?

    A.In an orphanage.
    B.In a big prison.
    C.In the school dormitory.
    D.In his home.
