What surprises me most is that the measures that we are ready to take to face this coronavirus are much more severer than the measures we would be ready to take to face climate change or air pollution.According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 91% of the worlds population
26、 live in places where air quality levels are beyond acceptable limits.

32、ook. B. A guidebook. C. A novel. D. A newspaper.DThey say that a picture is worth a thousand words, but the briefest look at books and the movies based on them would have anyone questioning this common saying. All too often, great words end up being turned into cinematic turkeys.Good movies need goo
33、d stories. If so, why has one of the earliest and greatest works in Western storytelling, Homers The Odyssey, never had an equally great movie based on it? Movies need strong characters.

38、original source. Interestingly, audiences have in recent years turned to television series such as Sherlock or Mad Men, which can have many characters and gradual plot development. Perhaps, one day, readers of F. Scott Fitzgeralds most admired work will find themselves glued to their screens by epis
