26、Thursday. Spring Airlines, a low -cost carrier in China, said it plans to allow the use of smartphones on airplane mode on its domestic and international flights starting Feb.1, according to Peoples Daily.PEDs refer to portable electronic devices such as personal computers, tablets, smartphones, and

27、 e-readers. Traditionally, the use of such devices was not permitted in flight for fear that they could influence the planes communication and navigation systems.

34、million people aged 65 and over; more than 10 million are over 85. Caring for these senior citizens is becoming a big industry.Traditionally caring for the elderly has taken place in an extended family.

35、people enter the work force full time, they cannot care for their parents or grandparents any more.There are more than 10,000 organizations that provide care for the elderly; more than 1,000 were founded last year alone.

36、er senior citizens their services.One of the most difficult aspects of such an organization is finding the right people to do the job. Caring for the elderly is not an easy task. It requires skill and patience. Among daily tasks are preparing meals, giving them a bath, or simply keeping them company

Ev

44、er heard of a “runners high”? physical activity can be as effective as medications(药物) for depression, so get involved in sports, ride your bike, or take a dance class.
