Like most teenagers in the world, Joso Montanaro, a teen artist in Brazil, likes reading and drawing cartoons. But he is special—his drawings get published(出版).
Montanaro is now drawing cartoons for Folha. Folha is Brazil's largest newspaper and is known for its cartoons. Montanaro has already been working at Folha for two years. Each week he draws two, three or four cartoons and sends them to the paper. From those editors choose one for the next day's page.
Montanaro draws about the news of the day. Recently he worked on The Wave—a drawing of the tsunami(海啸) that hit Japan. Montanaro also likes to draw cartoons about the funny things that happen in Brazilian politics(政治).
"I like doing political drawings because you can joke about somebody bigger than you." Montanaro says.
Folha's art director, Mario Kanno, says editors saw something new and different in Montanaro's work. "We brought him in with this idea to show that, yes, young people also read newspapers and can show their ideas on politics,"Kanno says.
Montanaro's love for cartoons began when he was only 7 or 8 years old. His dad bought him comics(漫画). Montanaro says these books gave him the ideas that got him drawing. "I think those great works have really helped me," he says. "They remind me that I should draw something in my book every day."
Stress (压力) is everywhere in our everyday life. Not only men have it, but also women and young people.
The most important reasons of stress are: death, diseases, exams, making money, getting married, moving houses, changing jobs, ending friendships and so on…
How do you know if you have stress? Could you give your answers to the following questions?
If you answer "Yes" to more than four of these questions, you are one of those people with stress. So what can you do about it?
Doing relaxing exercise, talking with friends and listening to light music are all usual ways of relieving (减轻) stress. However, doctors now say that there are easier ways—people should laugh and smile more often. When you laugh and smile, your body relaxes. They also say that people, especially men, should cry more often, because crying is the natural way of relieving stress.
This is the holiday season in the United States. People are buying gifts and carrying them home, usually in plastic shopping bags. They are only a small amount of the huge number of disposable plastic bags that are used all year long to contain groceries and other items.
Janet Larsen, director of the Earth Policy Institute in Washington, D. C. , says too many plastic bags end up as litter, polluting waterways. "They get caught in bushes and trees. In storm water systems, they end up blocking pipes."
In an effort to keep plastic bags out of the environment, California recently became the first state to ban businesses from giving new plastic bags to customers. Some other states and cities charge a small amount of money for every bag given out. That is meant to encourage people to bring their own bags when they go shopping.
Mark Daniels is senior vice president for environmental policy at Hilex Poly, one of the country's largest plastic bag manufacturers and recyclers. He says people should be able to get new plastic bags without paying. Mr. Daniels says they are a good environmental choice. "Every single scientific litter study that has been done always shows that plastic retail (零售) bags are a fraction of one percent."
Some environmentalists claim that plastic bags are blocking landfills. However, Mark Daniels points to a study by the Environmental Protection Agency that is not always true.
"All plastic bags, not just retail bags, are 4/10ths of one percent the waste stream."
Five years ago, Washington D. C. placed a 5-cent fee on every plastic bag given out by businesses in the city. The money is being used to clean up the local Anacostia watershed. And the effort is making a difference. Brian Van Wye heads storm water program implementation at the city's Department of the Environment. He says once people started to pay for plastic bags, they used less of them. Fewer bags ended up in the waterways.
Readers is a TV show and it is getting popular in China. People can read everything, like poems, novels and letters in the show.
Many people like the show and enjoy reading at home. Now the show gives people a special place to read across China. Reading pavilions (亭子) are now in cities like Shanghai, Hangzhou and Xi'an.
The pavilion is quite small. Only one person can come into it each time. Everyone can read for three minutes in the pavilion. The show will later ask some of the readers to read on TV.
People of all ages come and read in the pavilion. "Reading should be like singing and talking." said Dong Qing, the hostess (主持人) of the show. We can show our feelings by reading loud.
Quite a lot of people are more and more interested in reading. In fact, our country is also trying to do it now.
