1. People in China and other Asian communities joined the global celebration of this millennium. On
February 5, many people welcome the first day of the Year of the Dragon. The 15-day Chinese New
Year festival marks the beginning of a new year and a new life. This Chinese Year is year number
4698.
2. The term «Mayday» is an internationally recognized radio signal which is only used when a ship
is in great danger and needs help immediately. The signal is transmitted on a wavelength of 2.182
kHz, which is permanently monitored by rescue services on the shore. The use of this expression has
a very straightforward explanation. It came from the French phrase «m'aidez», which means «help
me».
3. In 1700, Henri Misson, a Frenchman visiting Britain asked villagers why they had horseshoes
nailed above their doors. They said 'it was to keep witches away. Horseshoes are made of iron and
the strength of the iron was thought to protect from evil. Still today they are thought to bring good
luck and many brides carry silver ones at their weddings. The position of the horseshoe is very
important. It must point upwards like a cup so that the luck cannot fall out.
4. Women generally live about six years longer than men. Evidence suggests that boys are the
weaker sex at birth, which means that more die in infancy. Also women do not have as much heart
disease as men. In terms of lifestyle, men smoke more than women and thus more die of smoking-
related diseases. Also, they generally have more dangerous occupations, such as building work.
5. Scientists say that rats can help to look for earthquake survivors buried in the ruined buildings.
Dogs are already used to search for people, but rats can be even more useful. Like dogs they've got a
great sense of smell, but scientists still need to train rats to sniff out people and to carry special radio
transmitters to let them know when the survivor is found. Rats may also be trained to find bombs or
explosives.
Dinosaurs roared for about 150 million years before they disappeared. We humans have only been
around for about 2 million years. But cockroaches are 350 million years old and still going strong!
Cockroaches can survive in extreme conditions. They can be frozen, then thawed, and walk away as
if nothing had happened. They can go for incredibly long time without eating anything. And that is
the secret of their success!

2. Welcome to England’s leading seaside resort! Enjoy the mild, healthy sea air, the beautiful
architecture, the restful parks, the variety of the shopping streets. Take a trip with us into the beautiful
Sussex countryside around Brighton, to romantic windmills, old castles and palaces.
3. A solar panel, which is 5 inches by 4.5 inches, powers the fan, which exchanges hot air inside the
car for the presumably cooler air outside. If you park in the shade and want to use the fan, there's a
plug-in adapter for the car. One retail Website says the fan can reduce your parked car's interior
temperature by 25 degrees, though that's not much solace considering another Website cited 160 to
180 degree temps inside a parked car on a hot day. If you want to try to make your car cooler, you
can buy this solar gadget online for around $10.
4. These famous horror stories explore the dark world of the writer’s imagination, where the dead
live and speak, where fear lies in every shadow of the mind.

6. This bamboo fan cap works just as you might imagine. Sunlight is absorbed through the disk on
the top of the hat, which powers the fan that blows onto the forehead of the person wearing this
unfortunate fashion accessory. Ladies don't distress, there is also a more feminine style for those of
you who are more apt to go for a floral design. For the joker in you or for those of you just wanting
to keep cool, both styles are for sale in the UK at just £11.00 each.
