10．A New Zealand volcano dormantfor more than a century has erupted，sending up ash clouds，disturbing flights and closing roads．
Mount Tongariro，one of three volcanoes in the centre of the North Island，became active just before midnight local time，with reports of loud explosions，pouting rocks and steam．

9．The insanely popular song from South Korean recording artist PSY has just become the most watched video on YouTube ever，gaining more than 808 million views on the popular media site．
The record was previously held by another pop heavyweight，Justin Bieber，whose song"Baby"had a little more than 804 million views at press time．PSY made the announcement early today．
Since its release，the song has outshone such other popular videos as Jennifer Lopez's"On the Floor．"and Eminem's"Love the Way You Lie"．
And in September，"Gangnam Style"also became the most liked video on YouTube，now with nearly 5.4 million thumbs up．
At the time of the announcement，the Guinness Book of World Records released a statement saying："In years past it was unthinkable that something would be viewed a hundred million times，and now Gangnam Style has achieved more than twice this figure in just three months on YouTube．PSY，your certificate is waiting here at our office，come and pick it up any time!"
Despite its massive popularity，the video shows no signs of slowing down，and it even has a shot at becoming the first video to get more than one billion views．
If it maintains its current rate of around six million new views per day，"Gangnam Style"would be in line to break that record by the end of the year．
It has found its way to the tops of music charts in more than 30 countries，including the United Kingdom，Germany，France，Spain and Canada，while providing material for thousands of parody videos．
It became a staple in the 2012 presidential elections with the now ramous"Mitt Romney Style"video and was even used by the North Korean government in propaganda（宣传）films promoting their supreme leader．Meanwhile，such influential figures as President Obama，UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt have all made mention of the hit song．

8．Once many years ago，I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming．Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide．In closing she called me a hero．
That got me thinking about what a hero is．Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car？If so，how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone's life？
Today I looked up the word"hero"in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant．It read"a person who does something brave"and also"a person who is good and noble"．
That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave．So I thought about something very important．And I remembered what happened to me years ago．
After my marriage of twenty years ended，I was in such a condition．I was within hours trying to get up enough courage to end the pain and misery．When I returned home，someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend．That wonderful card probably saved my life．That person，without even knowing it，saved a life and became a hero．
The many stories I kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy．In turn that makes the person who sent me the card a double hero．I suppose that is why I fight so hard to help the children now living in orphanages （孤儿院）．Most children come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude against the world．The gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten．Hopefully，most of them will never hurt anyone because of the kindness shown to them by those of us who cared．If it works，we will also become"heroes"．
