You don' t have to be a scientist to solve big environmental problems． One Dutch designer is finding creative ways to make a change﹣and he's inviting bikers to join him．
Daan Roosgaarde， 38， is a designer from Holland． He uses creative ideas to improve city life． For his Smog （雾霾） Free Project， he designed a special tower that cleans air in Chinese parks． In Holland， he designed a shining bicycle path．
Now Daan and his team are working with engineers at Chinese bike﹣sharing company Ofo to create a new product for public use． It's an air﹣cleaning machine connected to a bicycle and is part of the Smog Free Project． In smoggy weather， the machine would breathe in the air in front of the bike and blow out a stream of clean air toward the biker's face．
It's no secret that air pollution is a big problem for China． In winter， it's common for thick clouds of haze （霾）， caused largely by factory production， burning of coal and car emissions （排放物）， to cover areas of China．
In 2016， only one﹣fourth of Chinese cities met the country's air quality standards， according to a survey of 338 cities nationwide from the Ministry of Environmental Protection．

Have you ever heard of Monkey College？ Who do you think goes to school there？ If you said monkeys， you were right． Dogs are not the only animals that can be trained to help． Helping hands an organization in Cambridge， Massachusetts， trains capuchin monkeys to be companions and helpers for people in wheelchairs who can't move their arms or legs．

The monkeys and their owners become friends and learn to depend on each other． Some owners say the monkeys are almost like children to them． The monkeys can be mischievous and sometimes like to play tricks on their owners． This is especially true of young monkeys． Mostly ，though， they like to please their owners． They like the tricks they receive when they do a good job， and they like to be praised．

My family had a great summer in France． We have seen so many new things and met so many wonderful people． The French are very friendly． They have helped us get used to living here and have made us feel welcome． There are so many things to share with all of you．
The best parts of the summer was getting to see the Tour de France． It is the most famous bicycle race in the world． It's held every July． The riders travel more than two thousand miles over about a month！We got a quick look at the riders as they passed by! After the race，our family rented bikes，and we rode along part of the route that the riders used．
A few of you asked whether the French really eat snails（蜗牛）． The answer is yes． We went out to dinner a few weeks ago，and our parents ordered them． We each tried one and it didn't taste too bad． The snails are served with lots of melted butter． They feel a little rubbery when you eat them，but they don't actually have much taste． My favorite food here is the French pastries（酥饼）． My sister loves the fresh bread from the bakery down the street．
We went to visit the Eiffel Tower a few weeks ago． We went all the way to the top． It was a sunny day，so we could see for miles and miles into the distance． Dad doesn't like heights，so he stayed at the bottom of the tower and took pictures from the ground．
