The passenger pigeon(旅鸽) used to be one of the most common birds on the earth. A century ago, they
became extinct（灭绝）. Scientist Ben Novak is working to bring the birds back. Here, he explains to us why we should bring passenger pigeons back from extinct.
The passenger pigeon is not the bird that you probably know. It's been gone from the world for100 years. It means that few living people have ever seen one flying in the sky.
The passenger pigeon lived differently from other birds in America---in flocks(群) made up millions of birds. They darkened the sky when they flew in the air. One reason to bring passenger pigeons back to life is that it would be wonderful to see a flock that big. It would also be cool to see an extinct animal.
But it's not just about doing something cool. Huge flocks of passenger pigeons played a key role in shaping forests. The weight of so many birds resting in the trees broke many branches（树枝）. This allowed more sunlight to reach the forest floor, which helped more plants grow.
The birds also ate a large number of plants. That influenced which trees grew in the forest. If we bring back the passenger pigeon, it would play an important role in shaping forest once again. 44. Scientists Ben Novak is working to________. A . learn more about the forest. B. find more birds in the forest. C. bring back the passenger pigeon. D. Work out the number of pigeons.
45. When did passenger pigeon become extinct?
A. 10 years ago. B. 50 years ago. C. 100 years ago. D. 500 years ago. 46. How did the passenger pigeon live? A. In flocks. B. In paris.
C. By res ting in dark forests. D. By resting in cool places. 47. How did the passenger pigeon help forests? A. By helping more plants grow. B. By keeping many birds away. C. By staying on the forest floor. D. By preventing sunlight. C
Kids don't have a voice. They have no way to share their ideas. TEDx Youth is a locally organized event, where live talks and recorded videos are shared with the community(社区).

Organizing a TEDx Youth event shows that kids are able to do much more than what's expected. They truly take this event and make it even more than what everyone hopes it will be. \just like me, had planned and run the event shocked me most,\was surprising.

And lastly, you can become a TEDx Youth Reporter. Reporters take pictures from the event and post them on line, and send news about what is happening at event, interview some of the speakers, and write articles about the event. \was wonderful to see how youth team members were with the whole event and how thankful they were (and still are!) to be given such an unbelievable chance as being part of a TEDx event,\
TEDx Youth is welcoming kids from every culture who want to have a deeper understanding of the world. Those who get involved with it believe in the power of ideas, which can change attitudes, lives and the

Kamal Meattle, in New Delhi, India, grows 400 plants in his office building's greenhouse to help clean its indoor air.
On the roof of an office building in India's capital, the world's smoggest city, Kamal Meattle has a special way of cleaning the air: a greenhouse with 400 common plants. Meattle has 800 other plants spread throughout its lower six floors, greening each room and hallway. Their job: remove harmful things from the outdoor air.

The WHO says it's India's second biggest killer, after high blood pressure, and results in 1.3 million deaths every year. But can plants really clean the air? NASA published several studies in the 1980s showing indoor plants could clean the air. It later tested the value of the plants to both clean air and recycle waste in building known as the BioHome. Other studies have also suggested that plants could help clean indoor air.
Wolverton, a NASA researcher, has been working in Japan, where plants have been used to make 50 to 60 \生态花园)\China.

I have pocket money as well. Usually, I spend most of my pocket money in buying books, for the reason that I am interested in reading. And I spend some money on daily use. You know, sometimes I'd like to hang out with my friends.
But how can we manage our pocket money better? Here is my advice: on one hand, we'd better make a plan at the beginning of the month. On the other hand, it is important for us to save a proper amount of money each month. As long as you do like this, I believe you can manage pocket money better.
