A

The food in White Rose Restaurant was cheap and good, but nobody seemed to

want to eat there. There were very few people going to eat there. The owner was very

worried about it.

Then he thought of a good idea. A few weeks later, his restaurant was always full

of men and their girlfriends. Whenever a gentleman came with a lady, a kind waiter

would give each of them a beautiful menu. The menus looked exactly the same on the

outside, but there was an important difference inside. The menu that the waiter handed

to the man gave the correct price for each dish and each bottle of wine, while the menu

that he handed to the lady gave a much higher price! So when the man calmly ordered

dish after dish and wine after wine, the lady thought he was much more generous than

he really was! The man could make a good impression on the lady.

The nose is important for everyone. It can help a person breathe and smell. In fact,

it can also be used in many popular expressions.

Some people can lead other people by the nose. For example, if a wife leads her

husband by the nose, she can ask him to do whatever she wants him to do.

Some people are said to be hard--nosed. They will not change their opinions of anything.

If some people keep their noses out of other people’s business, they do not interfere

( ) in anything that has nothing to do with them. The opposite kind of people are

those who nose around all the time. They are interested in other people’s personal life.

If someone works hard, he can keep his nose clean or stay out of trouble. How ever, more problems will be caused if a person looks down his nose at others or some things. He thinks they are unimportant. This kind of person might also turn up his nose at anything that he doesn’t consider good enough. He thinks he is better than anyone else.

At school, some students thumb their noses at their teacher. They refuse to follow

what their teacher says or do any work. Of course, it is not right for students to do like

this.

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.

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."
