Airport Delays on the Rise

a news story by CNN
Have you ever had travel problems because your
airplane was late? It is a common problem and it is
getting worse. Airport delays make people angry and
cost the country billions in lost work time.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is the

government agency that oversees air travel. They
studied the problem of airline delays.

They found eleven major problems and proposed

eleven ways to fix them. Some of the problems are
caused because different regions of the country do
things differently. The regions don’t talk to each
other enough. Some of them need new computers.
Also, too many planes are flying. A strong economy
has more people using airplanes to get around.
Airplanes are a form of mass of transportation now,
like trains and buses were in the past. More planes in
the airport cause delays.

Weather is another main reason for delays. Weather

causes about 70% of delays. Fog or freezing rain can
cause delays.

The first thing FAA wants to do is take control away

from the regions during heavy traffic times and bad
weather. A national center would make decisions on
thing that affect the whole country. The FAA also
wants to put more distance between planes in the sky
when the weather is bad. This rule could cause even
more delays.

The FAA works continuously to make sure that as

many flights as possible leave on time each day.
They know that their solutions will not cure the
problems with airport delays. But they hope to make
things better.
26 - We can infer from the text that
a) delays can be avoided due to bad weather.
b) nowadays there are much more planes flying, and

NYC skyscrapers dim lights to help migratory birds

A growing number of New York skyscrapers are
switching off their lights to help reduce the number of
birds hitting the high-rise buildings.
The “lights out” project – organised by NYC Audubon –
runs from September 1st to November 1st, when
migratory birds are expected to have completed their
autumn migrations. An estimated 90,000 birds each
year are killed in the city as a result of striking glass-
fronted buildings. Organisers of the annual initiative say
the bright lights disorientate the migrating birds. The
birds are reluctant to fly from a well-lit area to a dark
one. Confused by artificial lights, they circle repeatedly
within the light field, colliding with the buildings.
NYC Audubon – a group that works to protect wild
birds and their habitats within the city – is calling on
owners and tenants in high-rise buildings to switch off
lights on unoccupied floors or unused space between
midnight and dawn.
