If you don’t know Sodagreen either, we are glad to tell you something about them.

Sodagreen is a band from Taiwan, China and now one of the most popular bands in Asia. It has five boys and a girl. The band thinks that soda best describes their music, and green is the band’s lead singer Wu Qingfeng’s favourite colour, so they named the band “Sodagreen”.

People have never heard of such music before, and they are amazed at Qingfeng’s style of singing.

Winter sports are very popular in European and North American countries. These places usually receive a lot of snow during the winter months.

Skiing and skating become the major sports activities for Westerners during the winter. People from Norway, Italy, the United States, Sweden and Canada all like winter sports.

Winter sports such as alpine skiing and skating are very popular because they allow people to keep warm while enjoying outdoors.

People can exercise outdoors in beautiful surrounding: snow-covered mountains and pine trees among endless white snow. Putting oneself into the white world and breathing fresh air, one can relax and forget all worries. Of course, the practice of flying down the hills excites people.

The Alps in Europe is the most ideal place for skiing. The Rocky Mountains in the Western United States is another good place.

Some people call winter sports "royal sports". That is because of their high cost. These sports always require expensive equipment. They also need high-standard places to be enjoyed.

Winter sports are not so popular in China. The southern and coastal areas have no skiing and skating. And the snow--blanketed northeastern and southwestern areas have very poor equipment.

But thanks to the efforts of the government, China has caught up to world class competition in short track speed skating. This is also true for women's figure skating. However, in alpine skiing events, China has a long way to go.

   The famous research scientist Stephen Glenn, who had made very important medical achievements, was being interviewed by a newspaper reporter. The reporter asked Stephen Glenn why he was able to be so much more creative than others. 

He said that it all came from an experience with his mother that happened when he was two years old.He tried to carry a bottle of milk from the refrigerator. But carelessly, the bottle fell and milk sprinkled all over the kitchen floor.

When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of complaining about it, she said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! Well, the terrible thing has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”

Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, you have to clean it up. We could use a sponge (海绵) or a towel. Which do you prefer?” He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the milk.

His mother then said, “You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in how to carry a big milk bottle with two small hands. Let’s go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy learned that if he held the bottle at the top near the lip(容器的嘴) with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it.

You don’t need to speak French to understand the Parisians. You just need to know how to make gestures. A new guide(指南) has come out by French tourism officials, which is to help foreign visitors understand Parisians with a list of commonly used gestures like “shut up”. “If you use them the next time when you’re in Paris, people will start mistaking you for a native in no time,” says the online guide at www. cestsoparis. com.

Some of the city’s rude native people in Paris have been a headache for the tourism authorities(旅游当局) for a long time. They have tried their best to ask Parisians to be more friendly to foreign visitors. They have decided to show visitors commonly used gestures by Parisians at www.cestsoparis.com. Visitors can learn and get help from there.

The website includes the common gestures such as “Bof” and “Camembert”. “Bof” is used to mean “I don’t know” or “I disagree”, and “Camembert” is to tell someone to shut up.
