The Big Apple Circus Clown Care program brings joy and laughter to young patients in seven New York City pediatric(兒科的) facilities, and 11 more across the country. 90 specially trained professional “clown doctors” visit nearly 250,000 bedsides a year, interacting with the children, family members and staff.
The Clown Care program is a part of the healing process for children who come to New York Presbyterian. The clown unit provides a unique way to reduce the stress associated with being in a hospital.

Why not an island get-away?
Newfoundland
Price
From £1080 per person in June 2005
We went with:
Frontier Canada frontier-travel. Co. uk/Canada
About this trip
John Cabot had set sail looking for a new trade route for Asia, when he landed in Cape Bonavista. Clearly he felt this barren desolate landscape could provide this, so he claimed it for its potential and so began the rise of the British Empire.
Newfoundland is the most easterly point in North America and was Britain’s first overseas colony until 1949, when it became part of Canada. It’s roughly the size of England and Craig’s journey by camper van or RV (recreational vehicle) took in just a small part of the island called the Bonavista Peninsula.
First stop was the tiny fishing port of Keels to stock up for the journey ahead. There’s a long standing love affair between Newfoundlanders and cod. The seas off the Newfoundland coast were once the richest cod fishing grounds in the world, attracting fishermen from all over Europe. Many settled, establishing these coastal villages known locally as outports.
An hour’s drive down the coast is the town of Bonavista, where Craig met up with retired fisherman, Wilson Hayward. He told Craig how the landscape used to lie, and described the peculiarities of the language and accents in the area. There’s a different language in every bay.
小題1:The title “Why not an island get-away?” _________.
A．invites people to take a holiday trip to Newfoundland
B．informs people that the island is moving away from where it used to be
C．tells people that they can buy the island at the price of £1080.
D．a(chǎn)sks people to visit the website frontier-travel. co.uk/Canada
小題2:From the context we can conclude that “Frontier Canada” is the name of _________.
A．a(chǎn) tourist guide
B．a(chǎn) kind of fish found around the island
C．a(chǎn) tourist agency
D．someone who has already booked the trip
小題3:When John Cabot first discovered Cape Bonavista he was actually on a voyage to find ____.
A．North AmericaB．Asia
C．South AmericaD．the British Empire
小題4:According to the passage Newfoundland is now part of _________.
A．UKB．CanadaC．EuropeD．Bonavista
小題5:In the past the Newfoundlanders mainly lived by _________.
A．teaching languagesB．making camper vans
C．looking after retired fishermenD．fishing cod

Ten Chinese PhD students are demanding that Beijing Normal University Professor Yu Dan be away from her television show on CCTV10. They argue that her on-air explanations of Confucius’s Analects (孔子《論語》) are “incorrect and misleading”.
Yu is known for explaining Confucius’s Analects to a TV audience. But some complain that her explanations are unfaithful to Chinese tradition.
But Yu doesn’t seem to worry too much about her critics, saying, “It’s a matter of personal choice. Some like KFC, while others like McDonalds.”
STEALING some online gamer’s password might seem less harmful than credit card theft. It does keep the victim from wearing himself out all night playing. But it is not all that nice, says 19-year-old Zhang Qiwen, in Shanghai.
Last August, Zhang accidentally downloaded a Trojan while playing Warcraft. The Trojan is a type of virus used by hackers to steal people’s passwords. Overnight the Trojan transferred all the “gold” (game credits) from Zhang’s private account to an unknown account. Zhang hopes the police will find and punish the thief, who can also pocket some cash since the stolen “gold” can go on sale online.
New England’s largest indoor public garden has opened here in a historic park, and officials expect it to become a center for learning about plants as well as a top attraction for visitors.
The glass-walled Roger Williams Park Botanical Center, which opened on March 2, offers a tropical garden, an orchid garden, and a Mediterranean room with a collection of citrus trees. The center also has two classrooms and will offer gardening classes provided by the University of Rhode Island.
Roger Williams Park, named for the city’s 17th-century founder, also has a zoo. The park already attracts more than 2 million visitors a year, and Providence Mayor David Cicilline said that he expects the new center will attract more and more visitors to Providence.

                           These simple ways can increase your popularity(受歡迎度) and win you more friends, so why not try them?
● FOCUSING ON OTHERS   This will reduce any shyness you may have. You’ll be more relaxed and therefore more natural and fun. And you will get more good---people will love the fact that you’re paying attention to them while you don’t have to worry about what people think of you.
● LOOKING PEOPLE IN THE EYE   Making eye contact is very important because it shows you’re interested in them. If you let your eyes wander(游移) or keep looking over their shoulder, people will feel slighted, and they’ll like you less they would otherwise.
● ASKING QUESTIONS   Doing this gives you two advantages. It shows other people that you are indeed paying attention and that you consider what they are telling you important. Being sure to follow up when you’ve shared a conversation with someone about something important in his/her life, be sure to ask about it later. This shows that you listen and you care.
● MAKING AN EFFORT TO SMILE   A smile means acceptance, and that makes people open up to you. Make a conscious(有意識的) effort(努力) one day to smile at the people you stay or work with and watch how well they respond to you.
● BEING RELIABLE   People appreciate those who help them, and they quickly begin to hate those who don’t.
68. By fixing your attention on others, you will ______.
