China declared a smog emergency in 24 north-eastern cities, shutting schools, curbing road traffic and urging people to stay indoors. 

More than 300 flights were cancelled or rerouted at Beijing Capital Airport, after the fourth day of heavy smog. 

The authorities blame rule breaches and unusually bad weather; air pollution is becoming a burning political issue.
 
Smog: 雾霾
Curb: 限制

Walmart’s first-quarter results were surprisingly good, rewarding the world’s largest retailer for its efforts to modernize stores and raise efficiency. 

Sales in its American stores were up 1%, the seventh successive quarterly rise. Profits rose too. 

Other big American retailers have recently reported less encouraging results.
