But cancelling 48% of the worlds flight travel saved about 2.8 million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere，temporarily decreasing our carbon footprint.S
14、imilarly, the accident had badly affected my emotion but it also allowed me to look more closely inside myself and discover things about myself I never would have realized.

20、duced. Secretaries often found themselves retyping entire pages because of one tiny mistake, as the new models carbon ribbon made it difficult to correct errors.One day, Graham watched workers painting a holiday display on a bank window. She noticed that when they made mistakes, they simply added an
21、other layer of paint to cover them up, and thought she could apply that idea to her typing blunders. Graham mixed up a water-based paint with dye (染料) that matched her companys paper. Then she was able to quickly correct her errors. Soon, the other secretaries were asking for the product, which Grah

Many had to do with science, chemistry, but othersthe most famous experimentshad to do with people and th
29、eir behavior. And on that occasion the subject was really difficult: freedom. How can one conduct an experiment on freedom? What could you show about freedom through experiments?On their way home, the students discussed these and other similar questions. However, they had already done a good job on
30、other experiments, and this time was no exception. On Monday, the students returned with their ideas for an experiment, and they explained them one by one. All the ideas were very interesting but, to cut a long story short, Miss Ellis has asked me to tell you only about Amanda, Andrea , and Charlies
31、 experimentswhich she liked the most.Amanda took out five different colored boxes and gave them to the teacher to choose one. Miss Ellis gratefully took the pink box, and smiled. Then Amanda took out five yellow boxes, and asked Charlie to choose one. Charlie, annoyed, carelessly chose one. Miss Ell
32、is, amused，asked Amanda what the experiment was called.“Ive called it Choices. For freedom to exist, you have to choose between different options. Thats why Charlie was a bit annoyed, because when the boxes are all the same color, you are not really allowed to choose. But Miss Ellis has been pleased
33、 because she got to choose the box she liked the most.“Andrea had come to class with Laylow, her hamster(仓鼠), and some pieces of cheese and bread, to prepare a few different tests. In the first test, she covered a piece of cheese with a glass. And at its side she placed a piece of bread, without cov
34、ering it. When she set Laylow free, the hamster went straight for the cheese, banging his nose against the glass. Laylow tried to get to the cheese for a good while, but having no success, he settled for the bread.Andrea carried on with some similar experiments, a little cruel, but amusing, in which
35、 poor Laylow could never get to the cheese and had to choose the bread. Finally, Andrea put a lump of cheese and a lump of bread on the table, both uncovered. This time, Laylow, bored, went straight over and ate the bread.Everyone enjoyed the experiment, and while Miss Ellis rewarded Laylow with the
36、 cheese, Andrea explained: “The experiment is called Limits. It shows that, whether we know it or not, our freedom always has limits, and that these limits are not always outside ourselves. They can be inside us too, as with Laylow, who thought he would never be able to get the cheese.“Charlie had p
37、repared another kind of experiment, a more lively one. He chose two class members. Lucas was a bright but indecisive boy, and Paul was one of the worst students. Charlie made them go up to join Miss Ellis at the blackboard. Then he divided the class into three groups.To the first group he said: “Im
38、going to ask you a difficult question. You can choose one of the three people at the blackboard to help you answer it. Whoever gets the answer right will win a big bag of sweets.“ Everyone in the first group chose the teacher.Then Charlie said to the second group: “You will be asked the same questio
39、n, but before we start you should know that I have given Paul a piece of paper with the question and its answer written on it.“ Amid the sound of complaints from the first group, the second group all chose Paul.Then Charlie spoke to the last group: “Its your turn. What I told the second group was a
40、lie. I gave the paper to Lucas.“ Amid booing and a few laughs, Paul showed that his hands were empty, and Lucas showed everyone that he did indeed have a piece of paper with the question and answer on it. And Lucas was the only one who managed to answer the difficult question correctly.While the win
41、ners were sharing the sweets out to everyone, Charlie explained: “This experiment is called No Freedom Without Truth. It shows that you can only choose freely if you know the whole truth of the situation. Groups one and two were free to choose who they wanted, but as they didnt know the full truth o
42、f the set-up, they were not really choosing freely. If they had known, then they would have chosen differently.“Many more interesting experiments were performed that day, and maybe sometime well get to talk about them, but it is clear that Miss Elliss students ended up knowing a lot more about freed
