Crow Black-Coated is the first Chinese cartoon in colour. Shanghai Film Studio made it in 1955. The story is about a very proud bird. He sang and danced in the forest，showing off his beautiful tail to everyone. Autumn came and the other animals were busy preparing food for the winter. The bird continued to enjoy life freely.

From then on，the bird becomes a black crow.

An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him, you may say something like this,“I'm afraid it'll have to be someplace cheap, because I have little money.” The other person may say, “OK, I'll meet you at McDonald's.”

This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say, “Oh，no，I want to take you to lunch at Smith's,”or“I want you to try the Chinese dumplings there. They are great.”This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards the person, you can go with him and you needn't pay for the meal. You may just say, “Thank you. That would he very nice.”

American custom(习惯) about who pays for dates (约会) are much the same as in other parts of the world. In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But, today, a university girl or a woman in business world will usually pay their way during the day. If a man asks her for a dance outside the working hours, it means “Come, as my guest.”So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make the question clear at the very beginning.

    LONDON (Reuters) — British milkman Steve Leech, who saved several shops and flats by putting out a fire with 320 pints of milk, was celebrating Thursday after winning a national bravery award.
    Leech, 35, named "Hero Milkman" by the National Dairymen's Association, said that he had noticed smoke coming out of a shop in Cornwall, southern England, while delivering (递送) milk as usual a year ago.
    “I saw the flats up above and thought I'd better do something. So I kicked the door in and started pouring milk everywhere,”Lee told Reuters Thursday.
    “When firemen arrived, the fire was almost out,”he said. Firemen said he had helped save the lives of eight people living in the flats above the shops.
“It was hard work opening all those bottles, especially since they have tamper-proof lids. But it was even harder trying to explain to my boss where all the milk had gone.”
