         Another big draw to the city is the four local boys．Paul，John，George and Ringo，collectively famous as The Beatles．The pop quartet （四重唱表演小组） first put Liverpool on the world map in the 1960s．The Beatles Story，situated at the Albert Dock，is a huge draw for fans，and you'll find the Beatles shop and ever-popular Cavern Club，the"birthplace of the perfect Four"，in the Cavern Quarter of the city．Fans can also join one of the coach trips around the sights associated with the band，from the houses they grew up in，to the places including Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields．
         But Liverpool is about more than music and sport．It is rich in history，with some of the most shocking architecture in the UK．The city has two great cathedrals（教堂）：Anglican-the largest of its kind in Europe； and the more modern-styled Metropolitan．The famous waterfront，with the Pierhead and the Albert Docks，is also worth a visit．Many of the city's great museums are situated here，including the Walker Art Gallery，the Liverpool Maritime Museum，and the Tate Gallery，which is home to the largest modern art collection in the North．The nightlife in the city also has a lot to offer．With more than 250 bars，pubs and restaurants，there is always something for everyone to do in Liverpool．Music，museums，shopping，history，pubs and bars--it's all there．It is the world in one city，a place truly deserving of the Capital of Culture title

3．"Ten years ago I could never have imagined I'd be doing this，"says Greg Pal，33，a former software executive．"I mean，this is essentially agriculture，right？But the people I talk to，especially the ones coming out of business school，think this is the one hot area everyone wants to get into．"
He means bugs．To be more accurate，the genetic（基因的） change of bugs---very，very small ones---so that when they feed on agricultural waste such as woodchip or wheat straw，they do something extraordinary．They excrete （排泄） crude oil．
Unbelievably，this is not science fiction．Mr．Pal holds up a small cup of bug excretion that could，in theory，be poured into the tank of the big Lexus SUX next to us．Not that Mr．Pal was willing to risk it just yet．He gives it a month before the first vehicle is filled up with what he calls"renewable petroleum"．After that，he smiles，"It's a brave new world．"
Mr．Pal is a senior director of LS9，one of several companies in or near Silicon Valley．The company is not interested in using corn as material，given the much-advertised problems created by using food crops for fuel．Instead，different types of agricultural waste will be used according to whatever makes sense for the local climate and economy：wheat straw in California，for example，or woodchip in the south．
Are Americans ready to be putting genetically changed bug excretion in their cars？"It's not the same as with food，"Mr．Pal say．"We are putting these bacteria in a very isolated container．Their entire universe is in that tank．When we've done with them．they are destroyed．"
"Besides"，he says，"there is greater good being served．""I have two children，and climate change is something that they are going to face．The energy crisis is something that they are going to face．We have a collective responsibility to do this．"

13．I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend．She had just moved into the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to meet me．I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother，scared to look at each other．
    Soon，we lost the shyness and started playing with each other，bike riding to each other's house and having sleepovers．In 7th grade she was going through family problems．However，every summer we would always sit at each other's house and watch movies on TV and talk about all the boys we liked．
    It was last year when I noticed the problem．She suffered from clinical depression（抑郁症），and had to go to a hospital during the day．I was very sorry for her at first．But with the late night calls，and meeting each other halfway up the street at midnight，we still stayed in touch．I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend left her，and I knew I still cared about her like a sister．
    Yesterday she came to me and said this．"I never knew what a best friend was until you were the only person that would stop me from cutting myself； the only person that ever made me feel better about myself and my problems．You didn't know this but I was trying to kill myself that very night you called me and I was crying．I owe you so much，and you didn't even know you were helping me．"
    We both cried．And I guess a kind of lesson from my life so far is to never give up your friends．Even if they aren't as cool as others，or people think they are crazy，they need someone there．If you leave them，you will only be very sorry．So if friends need you，and you care for them，you should be always there for them．
