A Web Awash in Liquor Ads, Promoting Moderation

My Reactions:
I have to say that I like to drink alcoholic beverages very much. When I was little, my dad would let me touch fruit wine a little by lips. By that time, I fell in love with the favor I tasted. It’s a little bit spicy but mellow. Although I like to drink liquors, I will never let myself be drunk or be an alcoholic.
The Internet is a good way to help those people who are over-drinking. I think the method they provide is really modern and cater to the new generation of technology. People should all have the right conceptions and don’t indulge yourselves. We can’t do things over even in a high emotion or in a desperate thinking. Obviously, sometimes we will lose our control and put ourselves in a dilemma situation. Take drinking for example, if we drink too much so that we are drunk, we may do a lot of silly and dangerous things such like making ourselves fools, being troubles to others, and even have car accidents. There are so many people want to help you avoid these kind of situations, but why you decline their kindness all the time?
I like the purpose that they want to help others. However, I think the achievement may not be so remarkable. It’s conflicting that even they sign the pact on the facebook, but we can’t make sure people will do actually when they drink the first liquors. Maybe these people need strong lessons to learn how to control themselves when drinking. (278 words)

Twilight

http://www.chinapost.com.tw/movie/drama/2008/12/12/187261/Twilight-%E6%9A%AE%E5%85%89%E4%B9%8B%E5%9F%8E%EF%BC%9A%E7%84%A1%E6%87%BC%E7%9A%84%E6%84%9B.htm


My Reactions:

This is a hot movie recently. It attracts not only teenagers but also adults to go to the movie theaters to enjoy it. The main hero is a vampire, Edward, whose family are vegetarians who means that they don’t suck human beings blood but animals. After the heroine, Bella, makes a move from a sunny place to the moistest area in America, he falls in love with the white girl. Although the girl finds out his true colors, she doesn’t afraid of him at all. Instead, they try their best to overcome all the obstacles in front of them because they are not blessed by others expect Edward’s family.

Why the movie can appeal so many people and be crazy for it? I think it is the allure of the vampires. They always do what they have said and never break their promises. It is really difficult to find a person who always follows his promises. The vampires not only have good-looking, but also most of them have kind hearts. Because they are hundreds of years old even thousands of, they understand what is tolerance exactly. For so many years pasted, they have less and less patient about life and depress to the human beings. As a result, it’s not surprised that they will fight for their loved no matter what it takes.

It is an interesting phenomenon that people are crazy about the film. In fact, Edward has become Mr.right of these girls even though he is not a human actually. Haven’t been to the movie yet? You are old-fashion. (261 words)

Chinese pandas arrive in Taiwan

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7796312.stm


My Reactions:

Do you like the cute pandas? Now, we don’t need to go for thousand miles to see them because Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan are coming. Their names mean reunion in Chinese, some people look these two presents from Beijing as the conspiracy which Mainland China wants to sovereignty over Taiwan.

However, I don’t think so. Actually, pandas are so precious that many developed countries want to buy or borrow from Beijing government. In fact, Japan desires the cute animal. Many decades ago, Mainland China had once sent them one as a gift for becoming friends. However, several years ago, the old panda died so the Japan government wanted to buy one from Beijing, even borrowed because the old panda helped them increase the income of the zoo. Unfortunately, China didn’t agree. There are still many countries want to borrow pandas from China like America, but they don’t agree. However, this time, they give them as present to us without any expense.

As the result, I think these two panda are definitely the good mention from Beijing government. Maybe they have many conspiracies, but at least they are using the most peace way to improve the relationship between two sides. I don’t have any political conscious of the issue. In my mind, I just glad that people can deal things with a harmony heart instead using violent and armed forces. (230 words)

Heavy snorers 'burn more energy'

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7785118.stm


My Reaction:

US researchers found that those who have worse apnoea symptoms burned 373 extra calories a day. It seems great that those people don’t need to go on a diet or do exercise diligently and they can burn their calories easily. However, the symptoms can be a sign of a far more serious problem for the snorers. Sleep apnoea, in which the airways are partially or completely obstructed during sleep, stops the person getting a good night’s rest, making them very sleepy during the day.

Actually, I don’t have such problems so I can’t understand the pain they suffer. I have read the report that it say snorers are easily to get many diseases such as high blood pressure, cardiopathy, and etc. If you don’t take good care of your body, then the situation may become worse by smoking, being fat, using drugs, and inheriting. By the way, sleep ours is also significant to the problem, enough sleep time is very important to everyone no matter you are snorer or not.

We should take it more seriously, after all, it is the symptoms that found from our body and it definitely indicate some problem from our bodies. Moreover, the apnoea symptoms will decrease your sleep quality and make you demotivate to do exercise. As the result, the problem is serious so if you have the persecution, try to improve it immediately. (250 words)

Warning Given on Use of 4 Popular Asthma Drugs, but Debate Remains

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/06/health/policy/06allergy.html?ref=health


My Reactions:

Two drug officials have concluded that there are at least four hugely popular Asthma drugs which may cause risk death. These drugs are usually used in asthmatic diseases. The research indicates that these ingredients should not be used by people age 17 and under.

There are many reasons why caused Asthma such as directly infected by parents, the weather, medicines, mental pressure, and so on. Even some of them will become allergic of some kind of foods and things. However, Advair, Symbicort, Serevent, and Foradil are the most effective drugs which are used prevalently to cure Asthma.

In today’s medicines, many of them are produced by Steroids and Antibiotics. As a result, they will cause burden to organs seriously but they are easy to use and have obviously effects when used to cure patients. Although these ingredients are useful, they also easy to harm our body and bring a lot of side effects. I think the technology is well developed and we can use it to discover new medicine or to make them by ourselves. It’s necessary to find a new way to provide little side-effect drugs for patients. Therefore, we can cure them in a faster way to decrease the expense of wasting resources. (233 words)

Baby Faith remains seriously ill

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/shropshire/7764661.stm


My Reaction:

Image that if you have a twin sibling. You can do a lot of things together such as playing games, doing homework, and sharing everything what you have. However, if your twin sibling has shared a body with you, what kind of things would happen? In England, a young couple that the wife is only 18 year-old gave birth to their twin babies, Hope and Faith. Nevertheless, they were joined the same body from breastbone to the top of the navel and had a shared liver but separate hearts.

Actually, Hope was died because she was not strong enough to bear the operation, but she tried her best to keep her life continuing. Although Faith is still alive, she has to overcome many unknown challenges. Once, I have read something interesting about the twins that almost twins have metapsychosis. They will even be affected if the other one was dead. As a result, I think Faith perhaps can feel that she has lose something in her life but she will never know if her parents don’t tell her.

Another interesting phenomenon is that the mother of them is in a really young age. It indicates that the more and more adolescents have tried to sex when both their mental and body are not mature enough. I think one of the reasons is because of the opening social atmosphere. Maybe you will be teased because you haven’t had any sex experience in that age. Another one is that it is much more convenient and easier to get sex knowledge such as from the Internet and mass media. We have to be serious to the issue or it will definitely cause numerous social problems in the future. In summary, we have to think again and again before doing everything and don’t be control by our impulses. (304 words)

Dad raped daughters for 27 years

http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/11/25/court.rapes/index.html


My Reaction:

I think many people have shocked by the news because of the crazy father’s behavior. He had raped his daughter who was made pregnant 19 times for 27 years. However, he didn’t feel guilty after he was taken into custody. In addition, he was also accused of imprisoning his mother in the attic in his house until she died.

Astonishingly, the mother had totally had no idea about her husband’s behavior and she believed that her daughter was lost outside. We have to look it very seriously that why our society has become like that? In fact, we can’t image that why those people’s values have changed and become so evil. In my opinion, no matter how angry you are or what do you been insulted, all of us should still respect others lives. There is no any reason can deprive of the authority of anyone’s life including our family, friends, and even strangers.

I think we have to learn how to get along with others with a considerate heart. It’s not a correct way to treat other people like that especially family. By educating our next generation, we can have more opportunities to make our life and atmosphere become innocent and unsophisticated. In the confused society, we should take more time to build up the right conception of our whole life. (241 words)
