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(chē)),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.Craig grew up on "a gentleman's farm" in Colorado with horses,cows,and chickens.When he was 18,Craig was already running some of the businesses.He planned to earn a business degree in college,but on a fateful trip to Florida,he visited a friend who worked as a grounds-keeper at a zoo. "I just wanted to say hi,but he showed me around,and in the back,I saw lions and tigers in these cages that were so small that you wouldn't want to keep a dog in them," he says.The animals were surplus(過(guò)剩)and would likely be euthanized(使安樂(lè)死).
       When a sad Craig returned to Colorado,he called the Denver Zoo about taking the animals,but Denver's zookeepers also had a surplus.Then it occurred to him:Perhaps he could bring the animals to the family farm.He was only 19,but he studied local regulations and formed a nonprofit organization.He next wrote zoos nationwide offering to help if they planned to euthanize animals.
       After about five years,he bought a second,larger property before moving to the shelter's current location northeast of Denver.The goal,he says,is to provide the animals with plentiful space and to treat them with dignity and respect. "We have prides of lions that live together,just like they would in the wild," he says. "They're wandering free and playing and doing what they want.We just give them medical care and food."
       Craig opened the shelter to visitors in 2002.Although he was originally unwilling,Craig now sees it as an opportunity to educate more people. "We want the public to know,if they hear about some guy driving around in his Ferrari with a tiger or a lion,they should say,What are you doing?That animal is going to end up dead or in some dirty roadside zoo." The shelter receives 150,000 guests a year.Given his goal of treating the animals with respect-the shelter prohibits feeding and hands-on human contact -visitors observe the animals from a 30-foot-high,1.5-mile-long elevated walkway.

    (1)What made Craig decide to help animals?

    A.The need to run his farm.
    B.The influence from his friend.
    C.The concern for animals to be euthanized.
    D.The plan to earn a business degree from a college.
    (2)Why did Craig pay for a larger property?

    A.To draw visitors.
    B.To play with animals.
    C.To live a comfortable life.
    D.To offer animals more space.
    (3)How do visitors observe the animals in the shelter?

    A.By riding a car.
    B.By taking an elevator.
    C.Through contact with animals.
    D.From the passage above the ground.
    (4)Which of the following best describes Craig's work in the animal shelter?

    A.Admirable.
    B.Well-paid.
    C.Boring.
