This August has seen athletes doing their sweaty part in the "Good Luck Beijing" sports events. Some foreign athletes have commented on the passion of Chinese spectators(观众).
Not all the spectators, however, came out looking exactly good. Girls holding umbrellas on beach volleyball stands. Spectators crying sharply during the hockey matches. These can be unintended disturb. To avoid them, we’d keep in mind some special manners:
Beach volleyball
→Dress down for beach volleyball. Don’t you think it funny to walk about on the beach in formal suits?
→Wear sunglasses and bring something to drink.
→Use sunblock for your skin. But don’t carry something that blocks others’ view.
Archery & shooting
→Sit at the back or on either side of the field. For safety’s sake, do not risk out of there. →Above all, keep quiet during the match. Put your cellphone on vibrate or turn it off.
→Do not use the flash on your camera, because it can disturb the athletes.
→When the athletes are aiming at the target, keep your voice down.
Baseball, basketball & football
→Drinks in glass bottles or cans are not allowed.
→Don’t bring a whistle. Referees use them and you can puzzle the players.
→Players can be tense when taking a shot. Keep the cheering down and do not use the camera flash at critical moments.
→If you easily get nervous, bring some snacks. Keep your mouth moving to calm you down. Cycling & marathon
→Spectators should keep off the track. Control your pets.
→Cyclists or runners might look tired, sweaty and thirsty, but, do not hand them a bottle of water, a cool towel or anything else. Any help from spectators can disqualify(剥夺资格)an athlete.
→Again, if a cyclist or runner falls, do not rush over to help. The best thing to do is to contact medical personnel.

Scientists have not come close to understanding all the different kinds of life on the planet, but US researcher Craig Venter is already working on creating the first artificial life.
Venter and his researchers made a breakthrough this August. They successfully moved the DNA of one type of bacteria(细菌) to a yeast(酵母) cell, changed it, then put it into another bacterial cell.
“Bacteria have systems that protect them from foreign DNA,” Venter explained to the BBC. In the experiment, the team managed to block this system.
The experiment was performed on a simple type of bacteria called Mycoplasma mycoides. The team took the bacteria’s genes and put them into a yeast cell.
Putting the DNA in a yeast cell allowed the team to change the genes----in this case, taking out a gene that was not necessary for the bacteria to live.
They then put the gene into a host bacteria cell. The cell went on to divide normally, producing new healthy bacteria.
In January, the team created artificial genes of a new type of bacteria. Their next goal is to put the artificial DNA into a host cell to create a new species, according to a report in Science magazine.
“If we don’t make any errors, I think it should work and we should have the first artificial species by the end of the year,” Venter said in the report.
The first artificial life from is likely to be a simple man-made bacteria, to prove that the technology can work. But that form will be followed by more complex bacteria that turn coal into cleaner natural gas, or algae that can take in carbon dioxide and change it into fuel.
Many scientists think it’s good news to have this artificial life, but others are worried that the technology to create new organisms might end up in the wrong hands, with dangerous results.
