The Kid That Saved His Dad

On a sunny day last April,Bode,then nine,and his father,John Taylor,54,were snowmobiling around the remote country of Lake Tahoe.As they were driving on the snow,a little dry branch jammed in the brake of John's vehicle.Unable to slow down,John rushed toward a pine tree.He moved to jump off the vehicle before it crashed,but his pantleg(裤腿) caught underneath it.John felt his leg broken.As he sank six inches into the powdery snow,he could tell his arms and shoulder were injured too.Bode rushed to dig out his father,but John stopped him.They had no water,litle food,and no cell phone service.“Get on your

snowmobile,”John told Bode.“Follow the road,and try to find help.”

After a20-minute ride,Bode spotted a tour group and asked the guide to radio for help. The rescuers quickly appeared on the scene.And Bode led them through the white wilderness

to his dad,who was pale and in pain.

While they were waiting for a plane to send John to the nearest hospital,the rescuers quickly stabilized his leg.An hour later,he received surgery for the broken leg and internal bleeding

Today,John's leg has healed enough for him to take Bode out on dirt bikes.Father and son now carry extra devices on their trips,including a two-way radio with an emergency buton.“I'm still a little afraid to go out on a snowmobile,"says Bode.“But I'm starting to

feel better about it."

Tisha Shaw,Bode's mother,says her son's courage and quick thinking have led her to treat him as more of an adult.She lets him stay up later at night because "I trust his judgment,"

she says.

Exercise at Home

All it takes to get results at home is an exercise mat,and some free weights.Even if you don't have these tools,there are several kinds of exercise you can do around the house.You can always try the exercise that uses your own body weight.The secret to success is to

exercise the right way without hurting yourself.

At home,you can train at your own time.You are not affected by the timings of your gym or your trainer.This is an excellent solution for stay-at-home moms,and those inpiduals who work from home or have an irregular work schedule.With the number of tools available today,it is simple to set up a gym atmosphere in the comfort of your own

Secrets About Professional Chocolate Tasters

① People's faces light up when I say I taste chocolate for a living,but it's not always

delicious.I also have to taste bad chocolate.I'm usually in a small room and sit in front of a

computer to record information.Sometimes the room has red lighting.So I can evaluate

chocolate only by taste,not appearance.

② I can sample as many as30chocolates per day.To taste them professionally,I spit the sweets back out.That's another not-so-sweet part of the job.Between samples,I wait30seconds to let my senses rest,and I chew half an unsalted biscuit and drink plain warm water. ③ First I smell the chocolate and record it.I also listen:Old chocolate doesn't make a clear and sharp sound when broken.Then I put a tiny piece in my mouth and leave it there for a few seconds.I let it melt and record the four basic tastes—sweet,sour,bitter and salty.

4I love chocolate.The bottom part of my refrigerator is filled with chocolate from different parts of the world.My favorite types are very high in cocoa (可可粉).Before I

started tasting chocolate professionally,I ate a lot.But now I don't eat so much.

6Many people don't know how to appreciate the taste of chocolate.As a taster,I want to help others do what I do.To retrain your taste buds to enjoy better quality chocolate,try simple kinds that aren't filled with ingredients like nuts.Look at food with curiosity and love.

Notice its color,smell and taste.Then you'll know good quality.

How to Shoot a Movie

A movie is a series of pictures.Each image is a still picture,just like a picture you take with a regular camera.But the pictures flash by so fast in a movie.As a result,you see horses run,people talk,and other kinds of motion.-26Movies are also called films because

they are filmed.

Lots of work has to be done before the filming begins.The producer and the director plan how and when they will film each scene.

A movie is filmed scene by scene.27The scenes are not usually filmed in the order you see in the movie.Sometimes the weather is bad and an outdoor scene cannot be filmed.Big fancy sets take a long time to build.Scenes using these sets are often shot later.

However,you may see them at the beginning of the film.

Sometimes a movie needs special effects.They include small models of huge scenes and cleverly designed sets.28Moviemakers use these to film scenes and places that do not

exist.They might use a small model of a large building to film the building falling down.

Films can be turned into computer files..29They can use computers to make new images.For example,dinosaurs(恐龙)made by computer looked like they were flying in

some films.

30Many images in Titanic,including crowds of people on the ship,were actually made by computer.In some other films,computers were used to make the actors look as if

they were fighting while floating in the air.

yourself seem more _34to others.These are not the traits of a best loyal friend.

party and celebrate you,just in the way a best loyal friend should do.

Reconnecting with a best loyal friend is36to do on the Internet.A virtual

friend,37doesn't assure you of his loyalty.My -38to you is that you'd better
