In 2014, Mahoney performed an act of kindness as part of a Facebook challenge. She

picked a 79-year-old senior named Wagner, who regularly gave back to the community.

Mahoney wanted to know Wagner better, so they spent a day together, picking up groceries

and getting their nails done. “It was the first time in years that someone had made a day about

her,” says Mahoney.

Their shared experience got Mahoney thinking. How many other seniors might benefit

from dedicated attention? She came up with a plan: find local seniors with long-time dreams

and work to fulfill their wishes. She named the new charity: We Are Young, or WAY for

short.

Seniors can nominate ( 提名) themselves or be nominated by someone else; wishes are then

assessed by a community committee that looks at factors such as age-related physical barriers,

social isolation and financial need.

Melanie nominated her husband, 78-year-old Victor, to go rock hounding, a hobby he’d

given up when it became too physically difficult to access the bay where he hunted for geodes

( 晶洞). The team at WAY hired a boat for him and his son so they could reach the bay and

search out geodes on the beach. “Now, Victor has regained his self-confidence and is willing

to take on new challenges. We want to show that anything is possible with the support of

others,” says Mahoney.

Up to now, WAY has delivered on 41 dreams, ranging from a helicopter trip over a

childhood blueberry-picking spot to travelling to Toronto to watch a Blue Jays game. While

her charity operates only in Nova Scotia, Mahoney has her own dream. Each WAY wish is

recorded on video, and she wants people watching to be inspired to fulfill a wish for a senior

in their own community. “We want to create a national movement that shifts how we as a

society view, value and support seniors,” says Mahoney. “That is the impact we’re trying to

create.”

4. Why did Mahoney set up WAY?

A. To complete a Facebook challenge.

B. To give back to local communities.

C. To do daily chores for the elderly.

D. To help seniors realize their goals.

5. How has WAY affected Victor?

A. He has made more friends.

B. He has started a new hobby.

C. He has become high-spirited.

D. He has regained his son’s support.

6. What does Mahoney intend to do by recording videos?

A. Rise to fame and fortune overnight.

B. Keep memories alive for the elderly.

C. Positively change our attitude towards the elderly.

D. Improve interpersonal relationship in the community.

7. What is the text mainly about?

A. Lifelong dreams.

B. A charity for seniors.

C. Problems seniors meet.

D. An unforgettable experience.

By 2050, 68% of the global population will live in cities. That’s 2.5 billion more people

than today. In Europe, three out of four of us already live in urban areas, and the consequences

of that are becoming clear. Researchers estimate that nine million people die every year as a

direct result of air pollution. As our cities grow and more people move into already crowded

spaces, what do we need to do to transform our urban areas into healthy places to live? An

increasing body of research tells us that we should be letting nature back in.

Green spaces in cities mitigate the effects of pollution and can reduce a phenomenon

known as the urban heat island effect, which refers to heat trapped in built-up areas. The effect

appears in towns and cities where the heat generated by people, transport and industry is

trapped in the narrow roads and concrete structures, unable to escape to the atmosphere. This

can bring the temperature in urban areas up 3-4°C higher than the surrounding

countryside, and with that comes a severe cycle. Increased temperatures in summer lead

to an increased demand for cooling. This expands our energy consumption, which in turn

build up fossil fuel consumption, increasing pollutants in the air and harmful smog on

our streets.

Planning cities to include green spaces wherever possible is the first step in making our

urban areas healthier. For example, adding a layer of vegetation to rooftops and creating green

roofs has proven to reduce the urban heat island effect. Trees in our streets also play their part,

and a variety of tree species can have a profound effect.
