American magician David Blaine left the glass box in which he had lived for 44 days without food on October 19. Hundreds of people came to watch the end of his starvation experiment, which had become one of London?s main tourist attractions.

Looking thinner and darker, 30 year-old Blaine was taken out of his box over the River Thames(泰晤士河) and sent to hospital at once. Doctors said he had to eat food slowly, or he would risk losing his life. He had been drinking only water since September 5.

Blaine was brought up by his grandparents in Brooklyn, New York since he was born. He first became known as a street magician in the early 1990s. He soon found himself doing magic tricks in bars for the likes of American actor Leonardo DiCaprio and his super model friends.

Over the last ten years Blaine has become famous with a combination of breathtaking magic and clever tricks aimed at getting a lot of attention.

In 1999, he was buried in a coffin (棺材) for one week and, in 2000, he spent 62 hours in a giant block of ice. Last year he stood on the top of a 25-meter pillar(柱子) in the center of New York for 35 hours before jumping into a pile of boxes.

“I think a lot of people are unable to accept that they?re able to do what they can do,” he said. “They don?t realize we can survive. The human being is an amazing creation.”

But he seemed to have suffered from spending so long in the glass box. He said that sometimes he was unable to see, had serious back pains and lost his sense of taste.

Offer to do their shopping once a week, look after their garden for them or maybe walk their dog.(Paragraph 5)

No littering:Nobody likes picking up other people?s rubbish, but a clean street can make all the difference. Take it in turns to go out once or twice a week and see what you can find. You never know, one day you might find something valuable.

Recycling: Nearly two-thirds of your rubbish can be recycled. Some areas already provide places to people to recycle bottles, tins, plastic and paper. Find out if this is done in you r neighborhood. If it?s not, do something about it.

Happiness at Christmas Time

It was that time of the year again: bright lights, gifts, snow and carols (颂歌). It was Christmas. Since my younger days, Christmas has been a time of happiness and surprise. Being in the US hasn?t changed much. The holiday itself matters to everyone here, even if they are not religious (笃信宗教的).

There were some religious events .For us it was lessons and Carols, the yearly event in which the whole school listens to readings from religious books and Christmas songs. Since the event is formal, there is a dress rule. This year, for example, I looked through my whole locker to find a black dress suitable for the event. The event was very pleasant. The choir(合唱团)sang the carols beautifully, the organ(风琴)was played beautifully and we got to sing some Christmas songs ourselves. Lessons and Carols has been an important part of Groton?s traditions for many years. Even for townspeople ,it has always been a must during this season.

Another thing that brings me surprise and joy is the tradition of Secret Santa. This year, each person in the dorm had to give three gifts and receive three. My Secret Santa was very kind to me: I got cookies, a fantastic drawing and the warmest scarf. I tried very hard to guess who my Secret Santa was, but she hid herself well until the last minute when everyone announced who they had bought gifts for in the gift-exchanging event. It was so much fun!

Besides all the happiness Christmas brought me in the US, I was also given a prize：a Christmas break, which meant that I could go home. On the plane back to China, I began thinking about my

If you dropped a piece of fruit on your computer keyboard, would you

think about eating it again? What if you dropped it in the toilet? Bacteria (细

菌) can live everywhere , even in some unexpected places.

If you eat at your computer, sneeze on your keyboard, or sit down to surf the Internet without first washing your hands, your computer keyboard

could be bad for your health. According to the US National Research Centre,

the average computer carries 400 times more bacteria than a toilet bowl (抽水马桶) does.

Could one of the dirtiest things in your home be right in your hand? Yes: the TV remote control. It gets dropped on the floor, put on the sofa and everyone in the house holds it. Scientists found that about half of the tested remote controls carry the cold virus (病毒).

Don?t forget your toothbrush. Do you put it in the bathroom? Studies show that flushing (抽水冲洗) the toilet releases (释放) bacteria in the air. Bacteria can remain in the air for at least two hours. They may pollute your toothbrush. You can find ways to solve this problem. Try to keep your toothbrush far from the toilet. Make sure that it is in an upright position after each use. It?s also important to change your toothbrush every three months.

Here are some other places to watch out for:

At home

The kitchen is one of the places with the most bacteria—more than the bathroom. Dishcloths and kitchen sponges (海绵) are great places for bacteria since they are always wet after being used. Try to make them dry.

At school

When you put your schoolbags on the floor or in the bus, many bacteria can live on the bottom (底部) of it. Try to clean your schoolbag often.

In public places

Escalator handrails (电梯扶手), shopping cart handles (推车手柄), public books and magazines are top bacteria carriers. That?s why the first thing to do when getting home is to wash your hands.

Yes, bacteria are everywhere. But don?t be too afraid to touch those things. Most of bacteria are harmless. Just remember to wash your hands regularly. It is the most useful way to protect yourself from bacteria and viruses.
