How much do you know about Top Combine (至上励合 TC), the popular boy band? After two months of training in South Korea, the five boys are back with their latest album Grandness Equal to Heaven (《齐天大盛》). They showed up in Beijing to promote their new record. Hundreds of teenagers screamed in excitement when they saw their idols.

“I was blown away (被……征服) by this album. I knew TC would improve after going to South Korea, but I couldn't have imagined it would be so nice,” said a fan after she listened to the album.

Each of the boys has put something of themselves into the new album, from Zhang Yuan's soft voice to Ma Xueyang's talents composing and writing lyrics. Their hit song Grandness Equal to Heaven is a creative mix of moving rhythms and traditional musical instruments, including flute (笛子). A teenage fan says that Top Combine's new album helps him get through all his tests.

Although they tried to be China's No 1 Motivational (励志的) boy band, Top Combine's debut in October, 2008 was not a big success. The band's first EP Arrival was not immediately popular. People accused the band of being unoriginal. They said TC was just like a South Korean boy band, because their fashion sense and music style were similar to those bands.

But they didn't give up. Now with their new album, their hard work looks like it's paying off.

A leading biologist has found the angels and fairies that sit at top of Christmas trees did not get there under their own power.

Prof Roger Wotton, from University College London, found that flight would be impossible for angels with arms and bird-like feathered wings.  

"Angels cannot take off and cannot use powered flight,” said Prof Wotton. “They would need to be exposed to very high wind velocities at take off - such high winds that they would be blown away."

Some the world’s most famous religious paintings and architecture make most Americans believe in angels.

The study found that 68 per cent of the 36,000 adults thought that angels and demons (魔鬼) were at work in the world.

According to the latest study, angels lack the powerful muscles which allow birds to beat their wings.

 Prof Wotton’s paper explores why there are so many stories about angels. “Angels are very powerful religious icons for people with faith. Their similarity to humans adds to their power. At the same time, they have wings on them because they are more than human. They take messages to heaven and therefore have to fly.” said the academic.
