You can create a mission for your child
锛?/p>
or your child can request a new mission
锛?/p>
Once created
锛?/p>
it must be accepted
锛?/p>
The mission
needs to be completed by your child and approved by you before you can pay him or her
锛?/p>
Lion
Help your children create and fulfil wishes
锛?/p>
Wish cards and their savings progress can be tracked from your banking app
锛?/p>
Once their savings goal is reached
锛?/p>
lion will inform you of their achievement
锛?/p>

While staring out of the window during a flight
锛?/p>
not everyone will think carefully about the question why airplanes have rounded
windows rather than square ones
锛?/p>
Over the years
锛?/p>
aerospace engineering has made huge steps in airplane technology
锛?/p>
meaning planes can carry more passengers
and go faster
锛?/p>
The planes have also changed shape to increase safety-including the windows
锛?/p>
As commercial air travel took off
in the mid-20th century
锛?/p>
airline companies began to fly at higher altitudes to lower their cost-the air density
锛堝瘑搴︼級
is lower up
there
锛?/p>
creating less drag
锛堥樆鍔涳級
for airplanes
锛?/p>
However
锛?/p>
higher altitudes came with problems
锛?/p>
like the fact human beings
can't really survive at 30
锛?/p>
000 feet
锛?/p>
To make that possible
锛?/p>
the cabin was changed to a cylindrical
锛堝渾鏌变綋锛?/p>
shape to support
the pressure inside
锛?/p>
But at first
锛?/p>
plane builders left in the standard square windows and this expansion meant disaster
锛?/p>
The
deHavillandComet came into fashion in the 1950s
锛?/p>
With a closed cabin
锛?/p>
it was able to go higher and faster than other aircraft
锛?/p>
However
锛?/p>
where there's a corner
锛?/p>
there's a weak spot
锛?/p>
Windows
锛?/p>
having four corners
锛?/p>
have four potential weak spots
锛?/p>
making
them likely to crash under stress-such as air pressure
锛?/p>
By curving the window
锛?/p>
the stress that would eventually break the window
corner is distributed and the chance of it breaking is reduced
锛?/p>
Rounded shapes are also stronger and resist deformation
锛堝彉褰級锛?/p>
and can thus survive the extreme differences in pressure between the inside and outside of the aircraft
锛?/p>
Fortunately
锛?/p>
designers figured out the lack of design pretty quick
锛?/p>
Now we have nice
锛?/p>
rounded airplane windows that can resist
the pressure of traveling altitude
锛?/p>
It gives being able to gaze out of your window to the world from 35
锛?/p>
000 feet a whole new outlook
锛?/p>
doesn't it
锛?/p>
4.
Why did airlines aim to fly at higher altitudes
锛?/p>
______
A.
To increase safety of the plane
锛?/p>
B.
To help the plane to take off
锛?/p>
C.
To save money for less drag
锛?/p>
D.
To carry more passengers and go faster
锛?/p>
5.
What does the underlined words "de Havilland Comet" in Paragraph 2 refer to
锛?/p>
______
A.
A planet
锛?/p>
B.
A band
锛?/p>
C.
An aircraft
锛?/p>
D.
A design
锛?/p>
6.
Which is the advantage of the rounded window
锛?/p>
______
A.
It reduces the possibility of breaking up
锛?/p>
B.
It weakens the strength of air pressure
锛?/p>
C.
It increases the air pressure
锛?/p>
D.
It helps to survive the extreme weather
锛?/p>
7.
Where does this text come from
锛?/p>
______
A.
A newspaper on safe driving
锛?/p>

A magazine on fashion design

The hemlock
锛堥搧鏉夛級
trees along the Wappinger Creek
锛?/p>
New York
锛?/p>
look healthy
锛?/p>
However
锛?/p>
scientist Gary Lovett says the
white balls which provide protection for the bugs are created by a tiny insect
锛?/p>
It's hard to believe the tiny bug could kill a
tree
锛?/p>
However
锛?/p>
trees can end up with millions and millions of the pests
锛?/p>
When there are that many
锛?/p>
it ends up killing the tree
锛?/p>
The bug from East Asia is slowly killing trees across the USA
锛?/p>
The trouble-making bug is just one of many invasive
锛堝叆渚电殑锛?/p>
pests that have slipped into the United States
锛?/p>
They can hurt other living things in their new home
锛?/p>
Many invasive pests arrive on wooden pallets piled inside shipping containers
锛?/p>
They support and separate goods
锛?/p>
and keep them
from sliding around
锛?/p>
Invasive pests often tunnel into the pallets
锛?/p>
How can we stop pests from riding on pallets
锛?/p>
Lovett says new
rules are needed
锛?/p>
The companies that make pallets don't want more rules
锛?/p>
Congress has added an amendment
锛堜慨姝ｆ锛?/p>
in the
2018 Farm Bill to try and prevent this problem
锛?/p>
However
锛?/p>
Lovett is not hopeful it will make much of a difference
锛?/p>
Pallets are
checked by inspectors
锛?/p>
Many are sprayed with bug-killing pesticide
锛?/p>
"I believe in the system
锛?/p>
" said Brent McClendon
锛?/p>
president
of The National Wooden Pallet and Container Association
锛?/p>
He also said shipping containers are checked very carefully
锛?/p>
Still
锛?/p>
each year 13 million containers are shipped to the U
锛?/p>
S
锛?/p>
Each is full of wooden pallets
锛?/p>
Lovett says
锛?/p>
"Inspectors can't
possibly check everything
锛?/p>
All it takes are a few bad pallets
锛?/p>
we should get rid of wooden pallets
锛?/p>
" He believes pallets should
be made of plastic or eco-composite wood
锛?/p>
Eco-composite wood is a mix of wood fiber and plastic
锛?/p>
Insects cannot hide into
it
锛?/p>
One problem is that these choices cost more
锛?/p>
They may be worth the extra money
锛?/p>
though
锛?/p>
Invasive pests cost the U
锛?/p>
S
锛?/p>
锕?/p>
5 billion a year
锛?/p>
Trees don't just die in forests
锛?/p>
They also die in cities and our yards
锛?/p>
Then
锛?/p>
they need to be replaced
锛?/p>
That
costs money
锛?/p>
too
锛?/p>

invasive pests are native to Wappinger Creek
