In October,they had one year off from their jobs and sailed away from England with their two children. The next year,in August,their long journey ended in Australia.

The boat was not big,but they took a teacher for the children with them. None of them found the trip boring because there were three computers,many CDs,a TV and a DVD player on the boat.

Europe's best known places of interests—including the Eiffel Tower,Big Ben and Rome's Colosseum— fell dark on Saturday,following on Sydney's Opera House and Beijing's Forbidden City in joining a global climate change protest,as lights were turned off across the world to mark the Earth Hour event.

The lights went out at the Empire State Building in New York,the National Cathedral in Washington,and the Coca-Cola headquarters in Atlanta.

A three-year-old boy saved his mum's life by using her mobile phone to call for help.

It was a dark and stormy night. I was about to go to bed when I heard a tapping sound on my window.

“Who's there?” I shouted. Suddenly there was a flash of lightning;I saw a face at the window. It looked like an alien that I had seen on the television show ,“the X files."

I felt very scared. I ran to my bed and pulled my blanket over my head. I started to shout for my parents but there was no reply. Then I remembered that they were at a fancy dress party. I peeped out of my blanket but it was too dark to see anything. Then I heard footsteps. They were getting louder and louder. It was dark but I knew the way to my drawer where I kept my camera. I ran there and took out my camera and started to take pictures in the direction of the window. Soon the footsteps died off. And then I went back to my bed and tried to sleep. But I could not. I felt too scared. I sat up,and my mind was full of thoughts. I didn't fall asleep until late at night.

I woke up and found some footprints outside my bedroom window. I measured them with a tape and found them to be exactly the same size as my father's shoes. The footprints ended at the door of my house. I then went to town to get the film developed. But when I saw the photos I was shocked. They were black and I could hardly see anything. Then I remembered that I did not use the flash.

When I reached home I told my father about it and he started to laugh. I started laughing too when he told me that he had dressed up as an alien for the party.

It was a cold,windy night with a bright full moon in the sky. I was standing at a lonely bus stop waiting for my ride home. I heard a bus coming,so I turned to look. I saw the numbers 666 on the bus. For western people,the number 666 is evil (邪恶) ！

I was too frightened to get on. I stopped a passing taxi,jumped in and left there.

A number of years ago I took a Chinese class but things quickly turned sour when the teacher asked me what my favorite number was. “Four ,” I answered. The teacher's face went pale. “No,no no!You. .. you evil!” she screamed. I didn't want to cause trouble. “4” really has been a favorite number of mine since I was a little American boy. Of course,I lost that teacher. But the experience gave me a new favorite number “8” which I proudly declare safe in the knowledge that my Chinese friends will praise (称赞) my choice.

In Chinese,there are numbers for making a lot of money “888” and those for of a long life “99”. But there also is a number for death “4”. That is why you should never give your Chinese friends four of anything. That is also why every Wang,Liu and Zhang wanted to get married on August 8 ,2008. Please remember 13 and Friday mean bad luck for western people,but 9 means good luck.

Numbers are just one thing. To Chinese people a full moon is good luck. But in the West a full moon is a sign of bad luck. I tried to get praise from my Chinese friends but I couldn^ make myself comfortable to see the full moon and 666 in this dark night.
