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（婴儿车）, she frequently records pollution

levels which are much higher than the data gathered by the Environment A gency.

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 emphasise 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（小装置）. 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."

4. With a monitor on her collar, Baggy can ____________.

A. take pollutant readings B. record pollutant levels

C. process collected data D. reduce air pollution

5. What can we learn from the Baggy data?

A. High places are free of air pollution.

B. Higher pushchairs are more risky for kids.

C. Conventional monitors are more reliable.

D. Air is more polluted closer to the ground.

6. What is Tom's purpose of doing the research?

A. To warn of a health risk. B. To find out pollution sources.

C. To test his new monitor. D. To prove Baggy's abilities.

7. According to the passage, which word can best describe Tom Hunt?

A. Modest. B. Generous. C. Creative. D. Outgoing.

When almost everyone has a mobile phone, why are more than half of Australian homes still paying for a

landline (座机)?

These days you’d be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn’t own a mobile

phone. In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket. Practically everyone can make and receive calls

anywhere, anytime.

Still, 55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter (29%) rely only on

their smartphones according to a survey (调查). Of those Australians who still have a landline, a third concede that

it’s not really necessary and they’re keeping it as a security blanket — 19 percent say they never use it while a

further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies. I think my home falls into that category.

More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone. Age is naturally a factor

(因素)— only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlines now and then, compared to 84 percent of Baby

Boomers who’ve perhaps had the same home number for 50 years. Age isn’t the only factor; I’d say it’s also to do

with the makeup of your household.

Generation Xers with young families, like my wife and I, can still find it convenient to have a home phone

rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member. That said, to be honest the only people who ever
