According to John Roach in “Animal photos weekly: Rare leopard, tiger cub, more,” a cute leopard photo shows that endangered subspecies of big cat appears in good health.

I have been greatly touched by this simple picture; besides I love wild animals a lot the other reason is there are still some charitable people care these animals, the interaction between mankind and beast is quite harmonious on this photo. Humanity has appeared on earth for only twenty million short years but they destroy many natural sources on this green planet which result in extinction of many species. Leopard is one of the sufferers. People hunt and killed this beautiful creature in order to get its gracious expensive fur. Because their greedy, people can hurt such an innocent animal that will be the most ridiculous things among the ecosystem. So let everybody stop their stupid activities. Protecting this wonderful land and instead of devastating it.

Taiwan also has a lot of endangered species, such as Taiwanese monkey, Taiwanese black bear, Taiwanese deer. These are the animals we can’t really find one in the primitive forest. Thank for the government behavior of reproduce them in some special region so that we can still have a look of these beasts, though only in the zoo. It is our job to keep lives continued. Through every individual effort I believe that this world will be more perfect. (233)

According to Polly Curtis in ” Sex education made compulsory in all schools,” in this article Sex education is to be made a compulsory part of lesson among primary and secondary school in order to reduce the number of teen pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.

In my opinions I think it is absolutely necessary for government to make sex education become the part of curriculum in elementary schools. As the report says we are not teaching a five years old child about sex, but the difference of our bodies and the friendship and how to manage their feelings. With this kind of knowledge, children become more respectful to the opposite sex. They also would know how to control their sexual urge when they gradually grow up. Children is the best learning level of human life. To build the foundation of sexual concept, it is the best way to add an extra curriculum of sex education.

In Taiwan there also has sex education in our elementary schools. But I think it is too superficial or, in other word, skin-deep. That results in lots of sexual problems among the teenage. We should strengthen the practical action of respectful between males and females rather than only oral teaching. Besides the education in school, parent should also let there children know how important it is to esteem others’ body. To make this world more colorful we should all try our best to be rational, mature and familiar with human affairs.(246)

My reaction:
According to Jill Serjeant in ” High School Musical Sweethearts Keep Silent On Off-screen Romance,” in this article the two main characters of “High School Musical 3” , Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez, seem to have an off-screen romance for more then 1 year.

In my opinions, there is a great possibility that they may fall in love with each others. Because in the “High School Musical 3” they act as a couple experiencing a lot of romantic affairs which could make a huge influence to their emotion. They also always get alone with each others during the filming. So it is not so hard that will associate them with true lovers in real world. But whether it is true or not, I think it is necessary that audiences and journalists should not give them pressure about this kind of gossipy question. No one can invade others privacy, and for journalists it is definitely to exaggerate others words. The thing that we can only do now is wait and see. When the time passes by, the interaction between them will show their relationship. So give your sincerely blessing instead of conjecture.

Even though I don’t agree people spread the rumor of movie stars or singers, there is some small groups of entertainer will make the gossips by themselves purposely. In order to become the focus of the flashlight, they put down their dignity and play an ambiguous affair with others. It is an approach to make you become famous, but you may cost your credit of love. In Taiwan, the entertaining section of news pepper is full of gossips. It seems that Taiwanese people like to hear others’ rumors, so it causes a trend to behave affectedly among the TV stars. I think it should be rectified gradually, to make people of this country can tell what’s true and what’s fake.(311)

Woman, 105, links her age to walking - and no sex

My reaction:
According to Sam Jones in ” Woman, 105, links her age to walking - and no sex,” in this article a 105 years old woman celebrated her latest birthday and attributed her long life to exercise, a glass of wine for each day, and the most important things- remaining a virgin.

In my opinion I am really surprised that a common person, just like you and me, can live such a long life without any sexual urge. What I think is that I don’t really agree that people will live longer if you don’t have any experience of sex, because it is animal instinct for copulation to reproduce the next generations. And sex is also an approach to increase the intimacy between couples or husband and wife. Though the figure of this article has not been married, I still believe that as long as she has ever fell in love with someone for once it must be a sexual desire rapidly flashes through her mind. I guess she may not has really never thought of sex, just restrained the desire for some other more important things. After all, even though I don’t accept her longevous secret of remain a virgin I would like to congratulate her on her remarkable 105 years old birthday.

After looking this news I wonder why in this modern world as the knowledge of sex is more open the less people respect their bodies. The ages of experiencing sex are become younger and younger. It seems that people now don’t really care about the most integral element in sex, which we call-love, they only pursue the excitement of sensory organs, and one-night-stay is not a big deal any more. You may think I am too conservative, but I still deem that every sexual love must be based on mental love.(306)

My reaction:
According to Lawrence K.Altman in ”Three European win the 2008 Nobel for medicine,” in this article three European scientists discovered viruses that cause cervical cancer and AIDS which made them win the Noble prize and they generously share their prizes.

In my opinion I think it is a great achievement for humanity. Because in the past few years AIDS is the most horrible disease which no any medical treatment can cure this disaster and cervical cancer is also an incurable illness that many women were suffer from. Even now in 2008 there still a lot of family or individual person who are stuck in this miserable situation, however, thanks to these great heroes that cure AIDS and cervical cancer are no longer an unreachable goal. Another thing I think should be praised and admired is that they don’t regard this accomplishment as their own success. They think that they only step on the shoulder of past experience and gather the knowledge from those who also made efforts in helping humanity in the past time. So they generously share their reward. Besides the benefits they bring to medical world this should be also praised widely

This article remind me of my grandfather who has been apoplexy three four years ago. Whenever I recall the memory that my grandpa fell down the dinner table I feel terrible. Though he can walk and talk better now day, he become pessimistic. Fortunately my family always stands by him to make him know that we won’t discard him. The cure or the remedy is not really the key for patient to fight against the disease. What it really matter is the spiritual support. Because when the virus occupy our bodies our mind will deeply sink into an unhappy whirlpool thinking that maybe it is the day I meet god. So if family members immediately give a hand and pull him out it will be the most helpful cure than anything else.
