12、了10年来发生在幼儿园到高中的校园枪击事件，发现了两个发人深省的事实：校园枪击事件在增加，没有哪种类型的社区能够幸免。一些家长不再让孩子们选择带有凯蒂猫或蜘蛛侠图案的塑料书包，而是购买了可以同时充当盾牌的书包，以防孩子被枪击中。警卫犬安全公司、子弹拦截器公司和泰菲背包等公司都设计了防弹书包来消除这些担忧。零售商表示，防弹书包的销量在返校季期间激增。以上三家公司都表示，在大规模枪击事件发生后，其书包销量明显上升。12年前，在弗吉尼亚理工大学发生导致33人死亡的枪击案后，乔柯伦创建了子弹拦截器公司。为了保护他的两个学龄孩子，这位前任副警长把防弹衣塞进了他们的书包里。同学们的父母找他要防弹衣塞进自己
13、孩子的书包，这之后发展成了一门生意。该公司的网站称这种防弹书包是“消费者的最爱”，售价从160美元(人民币约合1125元)到490美元不等。大多数书包是杰斯伯或高山背包改装而成，生产商将防弹板缝进书包背面。尺码最小的产品“少年包”的建议销售对象是学龄前儿童。柯伦说，自8月初发生大规模枪击事件以来，“防弹书包”销量增长了200%。警卫犬安全公司总裁亚西尔谢赫表示，该公司于2013年推出了多款“防弹书包”。售价在119.99美元到299.99美元之间。拉克尔K.W.多纳休决定在她6岁的儿子入学前给他买一个防弹板。她说，她没有选择价格更贵的“防弹书包”而是选择了防弹板，是因为书包很快就不够用了，而据

15、她在工作中也接受过枪击演练。2014年，位于塔拉哈西市的佛罗里达州立大学的一座图书馆发生枪击事件后，她和同事们就在计划如何应对枪击案。四年后，一名枪手在同一座城市的瑜伽馆杀害了两名女性。“这对我的个人生活和职业生涯都产生了不可思议的影响。”2020年高级商务英语翻译练习题二Roughly 600,000 Travelers Are Stranded Around the WorldThomas Cook, a 178-year-old British travel company and airline, declared bankruptcy early Monday morning, su

26、suffered by lower demand over the past two summer travel seasons, as major heat waves led many Britons to stay home. Brexit uncertainties and a weak pound also contributed, according to The Telegraph.英国旅游业巨头破产，六十万游客滞留世界各地拥有178年历史的英国旅游及航空公司托马斯库克本周一(9月23日)凌晨宣布破产，暂停运营，导致数十万游客滞留在世界各地。这家旅游公司旗下的航空公司有近50架中
27、远程喷气式飞机，并拥有数家规模较小的航空公司和子公司，其中包括德国秃鹰航空。截至上周日晚间，托马斯库克仍有几架航班在空中飞行，但预计一旦飞机抵达目的地，就会停飞。秃鹰航空周日晚间在其网站上发布消息称，公司仍在运营，但尚不清楚是否会有变化。秃鹰航空本周一上午的预定航班似乎运行正常。托马斯库克公司告诉美国有线新闻网说，公司倒闭时，大约有60万名客户在旅行途中，其中15万是英国人。英国交通部和民航局制定了代号为“马特洪恩行动”的计划，将滞留的英国乘客送回国。英国民航局表示，这些救援航班将持续运行到10月6日，这可能会导致乘客被延误至多两周。第一批救援航班似乎很快就起飞了，被困乘客发推文称，他们在等待
28、包机时，只被延误了几个小时。有报道称，这是英国历史上规模最大的和平时期遣送行动，比2017年君主航空公司倒闭时实施的政府行动规模更大。这些航班的费用预计将由ATOL(航空旅行组织者许可证)保护计划承担。如果一家航空公司停止运营，该基金将为英国游客提供遣送服务。据卫报报道，英国航空公司和易捷航空公司的飞机，以及租赁公司和其他航空公司的包机，都将参与运送被困乘客返回英国。托马斯库克航空公司的目的地包括欧洲大陆部分地区、非洲、美国、加勒比海地区和中东。据英国广播公司报道，上周日晚上，救援飞机被派往这些目的地。直到上周日晚上，该公司还在英国售票。一位来自英国普利茅斯的旅行者在托马斯库克公司预订了202
29、0年8月去希腊扎金索斯岛度假的行程，她告诉商业内幕网说，她发现该公司在上周日下午直接扣款了600多英镑(约合人民币5310元)，而她本应在本周四再支付这笔款项。目前还不清楚她是否能够通过破产声明要回这笔钱。托马斯库克以及代表其9000名英国雇员中部分员工的工会已向英国政府寻求一项紧急融资计划。然而，据英国广播公司报道，政府消息人士“对介入拯救该公司的想法提出了质疑”。该公司在全球拥有2.1万名员工。尽管托马斯库克在2011年成功地从破产风险中复苏，但它仍受到挥之不去的债务拖累。在过去的两个夏季旅游季节里，由于猛烈的热浪导致许多英国人呆在家里，公司也受到旅游需求下降的影响。据每日电讯报报道，英国脱欧的不确定性和英镑疲软也起到了推波助澜的作用。如何零基础备考BEC高级 零基础考BEC高级需要准备什么教材，如何零基础备考BEC高级，今天小编给大家带来了零基 备考BEC需要多长时间? 该如何备考bec，备考BEC需要多长时间?今天小编给大家带来了备考BEC需要多长时间?希望 2020年bec中级适合什么人考 2020年bec中级适合什么人考?这是考生很关心问题，今天小编给大家带来了2020年bec中级 2020年下半年bec可以直接考中级吗 2020年下半年bec可以直接考中级吗?这是考生很关心问题，今天小编给大家带来了2020年be 第 13 页 共 13 页
