Pope appeals for Mid-East peace
（http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7799464.stm）
My Reaction：
According to an up to date poll survey done by Americans, nearly everyone celebrates this festival regardless of the religion as well as race. It is interesting that people identify with Christmas because of a variety of reasons.In fact, the festival has been commercialized that it is considered a good time to do the shopping.However, owning to the global economic recession, the sales are said to decline, so this year the mayor of the New York even called upon to encourage the public to buy more.
There is another crucial reason why people celebrate Christmas that they agree on its spirits-peace and happiness.In these recent years,a number of conflicts happen, and many poor people suffer from them, living under the shadow of uncertainty and fear.Some may stand up to fight against what is called enemies;nevertheless,the desire for a peaceful life undoubtedly roots in their hearts.Of all the conflicts,the Mid-East especially draws our attention because this is the place where Jesus Christ is said to be born but now in horrible condition.Christmas is a time to share joy.Instead of throwing real bombs, why not enjoying the explosion of love not only in Christmas but also every daily life? （200 words）

Shrek musical opens on Broadway
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7783190.stm
My Reaction:
In recent years,there has been a dozens of animated films adapted for stage plays on Broadway;however, few of them really turned out a blockbuster.Take Tarzan and The Little Mermaid for example.Although they already have great fame,the advertising can be saved.Both of them still received overwhelming criticism,and cost numerous money.Therefore,this time Dream Workers taking the plunge to spend an arm and a leg is considered an adventure.
Undoubtedly,the show is a big success.According to the attendants of the opening performance,totally different from the movie,the play arouses dynamics as well as chemistry.With Tony-nominated actor’s vivid interpretation,the green ogre brings a lot of joy to the audience.
As everyone knows that now we are in global depression.People suffer from great burden of life,so they tend to laugh less.Shrek is said to make people burst into laughter because of the humorous plot.Irony is characteristic of the story;that is,it makes fun of other famous films.The play retains the core of it,which the audience can not help but giggle at.If the show maintains making a big hit for a long time,it can be thought of as a miracle in the financial swamp.（about 200 words）

Britons 'saving money with sex'
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7755315.stm
According to a survey,having sex is considered a free activity,and most people like to do so than window shopping and gossiping.Furthermore,the survey also show that there is a distinct difference between men and women.The latter have preference for window shopping as well as gossiping unlike the former.Talking about saving money,there is only one reason the illustration gave us-snuggling under the duvet could also save on those heating bills.
However,we can easily find many negative perspectives on uncontrolled sex.One of them is well-knowned that being infected with AIDS has become a worldwide disease,especially in those so-called lowly developed areas.Because of the lack of education,many people still don’t know how to protect themselves.The most convenient but yet not the most effective way may be having condoms.Due to rates of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections increasing with amazing speed,people are supposed to do it safely when snuggling down with a partner.Whatever the reason people have sex,contraception should be taken into consideration.Otherwise,saving money will turn to be costing much more money as well as losing one’s life forever. （200 words）
