25、ed that canning and selling this poor quality air as a souvenir would be a great idea. Believe it or not, he was right.After seeing a number of companies achieve commercial success by canning fresh air from countries like France, Canada or Australia and selling it in China, Dominic Johnson-Hill, a B
26、ritish-born citizen of Beijing and owner of the Plastered 8 (创可贴 8 ) souvenir shop, decided to turn the idea on its head and sell canned Beijing air throughout China and abroad.“Id seen people going crazy to buy canned air from Canada and Australia, so I thought it was time to push business the othe
27、r way,” the businessman said. “Theyre perfect gifts! What else are you going to take home when you go home from Beijing? A roast duck? A Plastered T-shirt? These cans are light, easily carried home. You can just imagine someones face when they unwrap it for Christmas.”The few mouths-full of Beijing

29、s online shop. But if youre actually considering buying some, youd better ask the shop in advance, as they are always flying off the shelves. Johnson-Hill said that his shop is selling hundreds of Beijing air cans every day.Personally, the well-sold can probably is an awakening for the public to be
30、concerned about the living conditions. Yet one thing thats not particularly clear is whether the air is really collected from Beijing, because the cans are labeled as “Made in Shenzhen”. Theres a big chance that it is just a kind of “Plastered 8 humor”,as they also list “Choking Risk” and “May have
31、unidentified objects inside” as warnings.Anyway, it is probably a unique way to arouse public awareness of protecting the environment.29. What are many people in Beijing likely to do with the smoggy air?A. Try to get used to it.B. Can it as a souvenir.C. Sell it all over the world.D. Try their best

Parents report that their children return home from school with no inclination to pick up a book and read.Any eager reader
35、 will gladly talk about the joy with a good book to read away the hours on a cold, rainy afternoon. Reading a good book is one of lifes greatest pleasures. We need to share these experiences with our children in order to assist them in developing into strong readers. But the use of boring, mass-prod

Frequently, teachers feel the pressure to gi
37、ve their students “just enough” in terms of reading strategies to be able to achieve the test, which leaves little time to focus on reading for pleasure.Kelly Gallagher, a high school teacher, outlines the term “Readicide” in his book. He says its the systematic killing of the love of reading, often
