 Donald had his own difficulties in sleeping that night. Not just because of the bright lights of the shelter or people's constant voices, it was the happening repeatedly nightmare that caused him to stay awake,to fear sleep. Donald was back in his small house. He did his best to ignore the howling winds outside his window. Yet he could not turn out the fearful whimpers(鸣咽) of his little dog，or the uncomfortable sounds of his mother anxious in her room next door，unable to sleep through the storm despite her insistence they would be all right.

 Thousands of Britons are planning to get out the col?oured flags,balloons and fold-up tables and hold street across the country to celebrate next month's wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

About two thousand requests have already been made to local governments for road closures to allow street events to be held on April 29th when the couple get married at London's Westminster Abbey, the Local Government Association said on Saturday.

London has received the most applications with 70 ，followed by Essex，the county north?east of the capital, which has had 46. Dozens of requests have also been sent to local organiza?tions in Wales，western，northern and central England.

"Street parties are an established(既定的) part of British culture, so they're a great way for people to meet their neighbors and strengthen community relations”，said Chris White，chairman of the LGA's Culture and Tourism Board.

"It's great that we're seeing such community spirit sweeping the nation. And these applica?tions are only for parties which require a road closure，there will be many more celebrations in gardens and homes across the country.”

In order to help,some governments have stated that they won't charge the usual fee to close roads while others are offering party packs for organizers, with free flags.

"The eyes of the world will be on William and Kate on April 29 and I am sure that many Britons will use the excuse to celebrate，”said Claudia Joseph，author of "Kate：the Making of a Princess".

"After all it is a public holiday―and everybody loves a party.”

One company that could be benefiting from the interest in street parties is the firm founded by Middleton's mother Carol.

 Taking about three times as much vitamin D as the norm may lower an individual's risk of developing colon, breast or ovarian cancer, a study says.

 Americans typically take 320 units a day of the vitamin，consisting of 200 from food and 120 from supplements. Daily intake of about 1 ， 000 units may cut the odds of getting colon cancer by about half,and the chances of getting breast or ovarian cancer by about a third, ac?cording to the researchers.

 Vitamin D supplementation could reduce cancer incidence " at low cost，with few or no side effects”，the researchers said in an article appearing in the February 2006 issue of the American Journal of Public Health.

"The strongest effect is for colorectal cancer,”said lead author Cedric Garland, 59, a pro?fessor of family and preventive medicine at University of California-San Diego, in a telephone interview Tuesday. Garland said.

  The U. S. National Academy of Sciences recommends daily vitamin D intake of at least 200 units for adults 50 or younger; 400 units at ages 51 to 70 ，and 600 units for people 71 or older. The upper limit for safe intake is 2， 000 units daily. Thus,the dose recommended by the re?searchers is beyond what most people now get and what the government recommends.

A glass of milk contains about 100 units of the vitamin, Garland said. While cod liver oil is rich in vitamin D，it also contains a lot of vitamin A and the two vitamins compete for reception by the body,Garland said. He doesn't recommend cod liver oil as a source of vitamin   D.

To ensure getting 1 ， 000 units of vitamin D, most people probably can take two 400-unit tablets，with the other 200 units coming from foods such as salmon，orange juice，yogurt and cheese, Garland said. Getting enough vitamin D through supplements would cost less than 5 cents a day，he said.

Although sunlight helps the body produce natural vitamin D，the researchers urged getting the minimum of 1， 000 units through food and supplements. Dark-skinned people, who need more sunlight to make vitamin   D.are at increased risk of vitamin D deficiency，the scientists said.
