Problem: Two things happened today in Beijing . First off , incoming journalists were amazed to find China had successfully lifted the brown haze in city . Skies were crystal blue and the air felt noticeably lighter .

Why did the sky appear clearer ?

A: The citizens made an effort to cut down on pollution .

Problem: And discovered how much fun it was to find postcards from grandparent 's and great - grandparent 's home towns . To see pictures of places where they had lived when they had lived there . Streets and buildings which no longer exist .

Why did the narrator like the photos ?

A: They were blown away by the history .

Problem: Ah well ; he 'd never enjoyed wearing it anyway . It was relaxing to lie there , going numb , aware of only the pain in his ears , the cold water in his mouth and the fish ( it was uncommonly large ) , sliding against his body . The hands on his face were pleasant too .

What might he be doing currently ?

A:
He might be floating in water .
