Should Alcoho l Be Banned On Flights?
Since commercial airlines took to the air，drinking and flying have tended to go hand in hand，with drink seeming to add to the pleasing sense at36，000ft.But for how much longer？In the face of a rising tide of drink-fuelled violence and antisocial behaviour，highlighted by a boozy（大醉的）confrontation on a flight from Glasgow to Tenerife over the weekend that ended with oneman badly injured，there are increasing calls for booze on flights and at airports to be restricted.
The government is reviewing licensing laws atairports as partof a broad rethink of aviation policy.It has yet to report，butWorld Duty Free hasmade official announcementwith its own initiative-selling duty-free alcohol only in sealed bags that，in theory，cannot easily be opened on the plane.
Rob Griggs，a spokesman for Airlines UK，welcomes the move，but thinksmore will be needed.“Our priority is airside licensing，”he says.“The establishments that sell alcohol should be subject to the same licensing conditions as elsewhere.”It would then be up to the local authority，rather than the airport，to decide whether the 5am pintwas acceptable.
Suzannah Robin，an alcohol and drug specialist at AlcoDigital，accepts Griggs’argument thatmost drinking is done in the terminal rather than on the plane，and advocates breathalysing passengerswho display signs of intoxication before they board.

How The Very Hungry Caterpillar Became a Classic?
Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar—in which a caterpillar（毛虫）hatches out of an egg on a Sunday，proceeds to eat vibrantly colored fruits it finds in escalating quantities from Monday to Friday，goes on a junk-food-eating rampage on Saturday，eats a nice green leaf on Sunday，and then nestles into a cocoon for two weeks and emerges a beautiful butterfly—was released 50 years ago，on March 20，1969.
In the years since，it has sold almost50 million copies around the world，inmore than 62 languages；today，according to the book's publisher，Penguin Random House，a copy of The Very Hungry Caterpillar is sold somewhere in the world every 30 seconds.And its enduring appeal，according to librarians and children's-literature experts，can be attributed to its effortless fusion of story and educational concepts，its striking visual style，and the timelessness of both its aesthetic and its content.
Kim Reynolds，a professor of children's literature at Newcastle University in England，notes that Caterpillar's lessons about nutrition are especially valuable for kids.“The fact that the process indulges not just hunger but the joys of food—taste，texture，colors，scents are all evoked by the range of food the caterpillar eats—intensifies the delights，”she writes in an email.The book also presents opportunities for kids to feel playfully superior to the caterpillar when it overindulges and gets a tummy ache.
Reynolds believes that the narrative about transformation can also be understood as an ageappropriate allegory about growing up.“At some level the story is recapitulating the journey from childhood to adulthood and presenting it as an entirely positive transformation，”she said.

“It's easy tomake themistake when traveling abroad of finding only the good or only the bad in a place，easy to miss how complicated the weave of bad with good is，”Barry Lopez writes in his new book，Horizon.Lopez is forgiving himself here as he recalls a trip to Galápagos National Park and the island settlement Puerto Villamil.Its residents were then at odds，sometimes violently，with authorities over the right to hunt and fish within the“dreamscape”park in the Pacific where，he writes，the needs of ecotourists，creationists，poachers，and schemers have long collided.
Most of all，though，Lopez is gripped by an urgency to tell“a coherent and meaningful story”about the threat of humanity's extinction as a result of climate change and societal declension，and the ways he believes it can be prevented.“Iwant everyone here to survive what is coming，”he writes.By bringing his past observations and experiences into the present，Lopez underscores how travelwriting has changed as planetary conditions haveworsened.
In 1986，when he published Arctic Dreams—a National Book Award winner about his explorations in the Far North—he noted that humanity's role in extinctions across the animal kingdom“seems inescapable”.But he argued against the viewpoint that“we are…headed for extinction in a universe of impersonal chemical，physical，and biological laws.”Instead，he noted thatwe can prevent that outcome by finding“the courage to take steps thatmay bear no fruit in our lifetimes”.
