12、o fellow passengers and staff.The teenagers who refuse, or are caught behaving in a loutish manner, will have their free travel passes removed. The plan will initially affect the 400,000 11-to-15-year-olds in London who qualify for free travel cards.During an interview, a Conservative insider said:

13、“The plan corresponds perfectly with the push to create a Big Society. It is about changing culture and expectations around behavior on buses and trains for everyone.”Mr. Johnson said he was determined to deal with the anti-social behavior of a “minority of youngsters” on public transport. “When I w

19、port for months. BWhen you think of childrens literature, endless picnics with lots of strawberry jam might pop into your mind. But British author Roald Dahl went down a different path, satisfying childrens curiosity for the dark, violent and greedy.To date, his books are said to have sold more than

20、 250 million copies worldwide. In 2013, he beat J.K. Rowling to be named the best childrens author of all time.
