Now the game Angry Birds has become more and more popular with the young and the old. I'm sure you also enjoy it a lot. But is it too small to play the game on your mobile phone or on your computer? Do you want to visit a park where you can find some bigger birds and pigs? As this picture shows, Angry Birds has now become much bigger. Copying the action of the real computer game, players pull a real catapult(弹弓) and shoot Angry Birds toys at green piggy balloons. I think that must be very exciting to touch such big birds.

When someone says, “Well, I guess I'll have to face the music”, it doesn't mean that he is going to hear a singer. It is something far less happy, as you are called in by your leader to explain why you did this and did that or why you did not do this or that.
At some time or another, every one of us has to "face the music", especially as children. We can all remember father's angry words “I want to talk to you.” And only because we did not listen to him. What a bad thing it was!
In the middle or at the end of every term, we students have to “face the music”. The result of the exam will decide whether we will face the music or not. If you got a "D" in the exam, that means parents' cold faces and the contempt(轻视) of the classmates.
“To face the music" is well-known to every American, young or old. It is at least 100 years old. It really means that you have to do something, no matter how terrible the whole thing might be, because you have no choice.

    Mr and Mrs White had two sons and three daughters. One Sunday Mrs White said to her husband, "The children don't have any lessons today, and you're free too. There's a new funfair(游乐场) in the park. Let's all go there to play.”
    Her husband said, "I want to finish some work today." "Oh, forget it. Go there and make our children happy. That's the most important work." Mrs White said.
    So Mr and Mrs White took their children to the funfair. Mr White was 45 years old, but he enjoyed the funfair more than his children. He hurried from one thing to another, and ate lots of sweets. One of his children said to his mother, "Dad is just like a small child, isn't he, mom?" Mrs White didn't want to follow his husband around any more at that time and answered, "He is even worse than a small child, Mary, because he might spend more money than a small child.”

      Every day when Cora Castle, 14, from Indiana, US goes back home, she opens her computer and logs into a website（登录网站）called Fuel Up to Play 60.
      She puts on what she has eaten and what kind of activities she has played that day. Then the site decides whether Castle has eaten healthily and done enough exercise.
      All the seventh graders in Castle's school have done the same thing since the year started. It's part of their health class.
If the site finds her habits are unhealthy, it will give her advice. If she does something good, the website will give her a star.
Her health teacher set up a competition to see which student could get the most stars from the website. Castle has got 30 stars so far.
Cameron Bartlett said she liked tracking（跟踪）the food and activities. "This is the first year we've done it," she said. "It's really interesting to see all of the different choices that we have."
     The seventh grade health class is coming to an end. They won't be in health class, but the students all said that they would go on to take part in the Fuel Up to Play 60.
    "There's lots of bad food out there that we've all been eating," Bartlett said "This really helps all of us eat healthier food."

Do you love a tomato fight? Come to Spain(西班牙) and enjoy its famous tomato festival, La Tomatina(西红柿大战).The Spanish love to eat tomatoes. Tomato sauce is served on the side with fried eggs, chicken, meat and omeletsat most Spanish dinner tables.

There was a parade(游行) and festival in Bunol on the last Wednesday of August of 1945 when a fight broke out between some young men. With the help of a nearby fruit and vegetable store, they threw tomatoes at each other. The following year the young people brought tomatoes with them to the parade and started a tomato fight again. Each year the fight went on until the early 1950s. In fact, since 1980 the city government has served the tomatoes!

Today La Tomatina is celebrated on the last Wednesday in August in the small town of Bunol in the east of Spain. The festival starts at 11:00 a.m. with the sound of rocket being fired and ends one hour later. Last year 40,000 people took part in throwing over 100 tons of tomatoes in the streets and this year even more are expected.

During tomato fight, you must not bring bottles or other type of things that could make an accident. You must not tear(撕扯) or throw T-shirts. The tomatoes must be broken before throwing them, to stop from hurting people. You must be careful of any traffic. When you hear the second sound, you must stop throwing tomatoes.

When the fight is over, everyone then sets off to the river to clean up. Sounds like fun.

English is becoming more and more popular in China. It can be used in every field, such as on some signs and restaurant menus. But there are some problems when people use it. Perhaps you've seen the English letters "WC" in your city. They show public toilets. But do you know it is far from native(地道的) English？In fact, foreigners from English﹣speaking countries seldom use the letters.

Workers in our city are changing "WC" signs all over the city. The government is spending much money changing all the bad English on signs and restaurant menus. Many other places in China are following our steps.

"WC, or water closet, is old﹣fashioned English. It sounds dirty to me. "says Nancy, a young woman from the US. The old sign will become "Gents/Men" and "Ladies/Women". "I see much poor English in everyday life, and not only on signs, "she says, "I know what they mean, but they are Chinglish, not real English. For example, when someone says to me "My hometown is Guizhou Province", I know he or she should say "My hometown is in Guizhou Province". Hometown is a smaller place in a province. The common mistakes that Nancy picked up include "Not Entry", which should be "No Entry", "Direction of Airport" should be changed to "To the Airport". And it is "Room Rate", not "Room Price". And remember to "Keep off the Grass" rather than "Care of the Green".

The next time you walk on the street or eat in the restaurant, you can go and see if the expressions are right.

It's true that every country has its customs.

We all know that in America if people are pleased with you, they will give you a sign "OK". But maybe you don't know this sign is rude in Brazil.

In Poland, guests usually choose flowers as presents for hostesses(女主人). Remember the number must be odd(奇数的). And the hostess doesn't hope that you remove the cover of the bunch(束) of flowers. You must be more careful when you give red roses to a woman because the red rose means love.

In China we often hear people say that "nodding" means agreement(同意). And "shaking the head" means disagreement. But in Bulgaria they mean the opposite.

We really need to pay more attention to the differences in customs. What's more, we should learn more about them in order to avoid embarrassment(尴尬). Do remember: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
