阅读理解 As new year approaches, crowds around the world may be expecting fireworks to light up the sky. But the fireworks could finally lose their appeal with the growing use of drones（无人机）for light shows. One obvious example was drone light show in the opening ceremony of Tokyo Olympics. Ollie Howitt, a technician at SkyMagic, which used 300 drones to create a display for London's new year celebration, said demand had increased substantially. She added that drones were increasingly able to fly in greater density (密度)  and for longer. Howitt also said there were benefits of drones, "They give out no pollutants, they're reusable, and there's no fallout or that kind of thing. So in that sense they are a very sensible choice. " Robert Neff, the general manager at Mercia Harbor, also said the decision to use a drone display at the harbor was down to a number of factors, including the impact of fireworks on animals-from wildlife to the pets of boat owners. "They've often commented on how much suffering is caused to their pets by the fireworks," he said. But not everyone agrees. Hans Rosling, a spokesperson from the British Fireworks Association said drones could also pose environmental problems. "Suggestions are that drones have less of an impact on the environment, but we have concerns about electrical demand and use of lithium (锂) batteries which are known not to be all that 'green', "he said. "The impact of firework use on the environment has been shown to be minor and very short-lived and recent studies have suggested that there is likely to be more pollution from a couple of cars driving to an event than caused by fireworks at an event." And there are issues with drone light displays, which need to receive specific safety approval from certain authorities. Some suggest the use of drones doesn't mean shutting off fireworks. The bangs of fireworks create a sound feeling that is hard to replace. Meanwhile, others prefer the chance to tell stories in the sky by using a series of image. （1） Why does the author talk about the Tokyo Olympics in Paragraph 1? A .
