26、awing is already academic.

27、orm, Rothko withdrew himself to his home in East Hampton on Long Island.

Much of the flood-waters entered the subway system through its ventilation grates （通风栅）.Those metal grills usually lie at ground level. When the system is shut down ahead of a flood, engineers try to cover those grates with plywo

34、od （胶合板）and sandbags. But the flooding often washes away those measures, which allows water to flow into the tunnels. Raising those grates even a tiny bit above ground level would cost a lot of money. Other ideas have included building tall chimneys around the holes. That would raise the grates and

35、cost a lot of money, too.Kyle and Raymond came up with a different, less expensive idea. They designed a metal grate with a built-in, adjustable cover.
