School had just started in August when Conner began throwing up for no reason.It wasn't long before the boy also began suffering terrible headaches.In February a 1.7-inch tumor(腫瘤)was found in his brain and Conner was set to begin to receive radiation(放射療法)treatments.Before treatments start,technicians make a white plastic mask(面罩)to keep patients immovable and protect unaffected parts of the brain while radiation is directed at the tumor.
   It's an unpleasant experience and a frightening time.The doctor Cook decided that the masks could at least be made to look like something fun—maybe Batman or Mickey Mouse. "I started thinking these masks are white and not fun at all for kids," she told The Greenville News. "I felt like if we could make it a little more fun for them,they might be a little more excited about coming in for the treatment." Because the kids are afraid.While the treatment itself isn't physically painful,it can cause a lot of anxiety.And the treatment is required daily for up to six weeks.And the masks really make a difference. "The kids really like them," Cook said. "It makes what is,let's face it,a terrible experience,a nice experience because they get to choose something themselves."
   When new children come in for the treatment,Cook finds out what their favorite movies or cartoon characters are.Then she sets about creating the mask by drawing the image she wants onto paper,sticking it with glue,and once it's dry,she applies the colors using paints.Each child can take the mask home once the treatment ends.
   "Coming to the doctor always means fear and pain.I wanted to make it fun," she said. "The kids really love it.It's something they enjoy and can relate to.And it fills an interest I have.I get great pleasure from it."

  • 1.Seventy years ago,a group of well-known people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music,dance and theatre in Edinburgh.The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.
       It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness,Richard Burton,Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras(交響樂(lè)團(tuán)).It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400,000 people yearly.
       At the same time,the "Fringe" appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947,in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform,and they did so in a public house disused for years.
       Soon,groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University,and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge,Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to Edinburgh each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small halls to the local people.
       Today the "Fringe",once less recognised,has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theatre,music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts.And yet as early as 1959,with only 19 theatre groups performing,some said it was getting too big.
       A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971,and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself.In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries.More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.

  • 2.Obviously,most people who try to lose weight generally focus all or most of their attention on the foods they eat.But what about their behaviour?Are there habits they could be breaking that would also help them lose weight?
       According to the Ohio State University Extension,which summarised the findings,the researchers learned people who routinely ate breakfasts,lunches,and dinners tended to have more success losing weight than people whose eating schedules were irregular.As a bonus,they were also more likely to eat a larger quantity of fruit and vegetables.
       One activity that brought a disaster to people who wanted to lose weight was watching television,particularly if they ate while watching TV-and especially if they ate while watching TV after 7 p.m.People who did these things,including simply watching a lot of television,tended to have a higher body mass index (BMI),as well as a higher intake of fat and sugars.
       Those who ate out a lot also tended to take in more fat and sugars,while eating a smaller quantity of fruit and vegetables.For the purpose of the study,eating away from home was defined not only as eating in restaurants but also eating food provided by an employer,eating food provided by colleagues at work,and buying food at convenience stores or gas stations.
       Finally,the best results were achieved by those motivated people who kept written track of the amount and type of exercise they did and how many calories they ate,who planned meals,and used meal replacements.Those who did these things the most generally lost more weight,ate less fat and fewer sugars,ate more fruit and vegetables,and engaged in more physical activities.
