A

Fifteen-year-old Isabella was in fifth grade when a classmate pulled her chair out from under her. As a result of the 2013 incident, Isabella suffered a serious brain injury. The once-active tennis player was banned from participating in all physical activities. Isabella never received an apology from the boy who pulled the chair out from under her. The boy continued to bully (欺凌） her, and Isabella had to be moved to a different class. Unfortunately, her health did not improve with time. By eighth grade, her headaches were so severe that she was no longer able to attend school.

Despite all her struggles, Isabella has managed to remain positive. “I choose not to sit around doing nothing and feeling sorry for myself,” she says. In 2014, she began baking cookies she calls Iznettes. The cookies were so good that she began selling them at her father's Italian restaurant. Isabella donates all of the proceeds from them to anti-bullying and brain injury charities.

In 2017, she won an award from the Brain Injury Association of New York State (BIANYS). According to Eileen Reardon, BIANYS executive director, "Isabella is a leader as a youth advocate, raising awareness of both brain injury and bullying. She truly is an inspiration for so many teens who face similar situations.” By sharing her story, Isabella hopes to make a difference in the lives of others. It is her hope that no one else will suffer in the way that she has. “If I could help just one person, that xkw would be amazing.” she says.

B

Most cities were built on rivers. People originally settled in Paris because of the Seine, and in London for the Thames. A third of New York City's surface area is water. For centuries, city folk used rivers for shipping, wastes, fishing and play.

The Industrial Revolution ruined rivers for more than a century. Huge new urban populations overwhelmed them with the pollution from wastes. factories and ships.

In recent decades, rivers lost their industrial function and cities began cleaning them up. The Thames is now the cleanest it has been in 150 years and proud of seals and the occasional whale, sometimes alive. In cities from Chicago to provincial China, dirty riverside warehouses have been turned into restaurants and apartments.

But rivers also need to regain their original purpose as transport centers. Cities are shifting more traffic back to the river - but this time cleanly and silently, using the coming generation of electric ferries. Ferries already transport 2.1 billion passengers a year. Numbers have been rising in San Francisco, New York and Sydney, while London plans to double its annual total of riders to 20 million by 2035.

Imagine using the huge capacity of shipping to take delivery trucks off the roads. One of the newer Thames boat with a capacity of 1,750 tons can replace 44 large trucks. Even without being electric-powered, it uses much less energy per ton and causes less noise pollution.

In other words, we need to tum truck drivers into boat captains. Delivery companies will need to build new distribution centres on cheap riverside land. When their boats stop at the new downtown wharves (码头），electric cargo (货物） bikes will deliver packages the last mile.
