Student dies during steamed bun eating contest at university
My Reactions:
A graduate student at Dayeh University died while participating in an eating contest. After finishing two steamed buns stuffed with egg and cheese in a short period, the students could not stop vomiting and fell the unconscious. The student was performed CPR immediately by the school medical personnel and brought to hospital quickly. The doctors spent 90 minutes of resuscitation trying to revive him, without success. “The student may have choked to death”, said the doctor in the emergency ward of the hospital.
It was a tragic accident, as long as it should serve as a cautionary tale. Whenever I saw the ” Big Stomach King” who participated in the eating contest scoffing down hamburgers, hot dogs, pizzas, or whatever it is in a short time from TV, I switched the channel to prevent my kids to watch it. I think it was not only wasting food, but it was also harmful to the human body.
I think most kinds of eating contest should be banned because they may end in tragedy. In fact, there are lots of eating games still held, therefore, the games with limit that the aged and the children cannot allowed to attend is necessary. First aids for the contest have to get ready, too. We should take time to enjoy the food instead of scoffing down. (221 words)

Taiwanese tycoon Wang Yung-ching dies
My Reactions:
Taiwan lost a respected and influential figure Wang Yung-Ching on October 16. Wang , with a personal fortune of 60 billion U.S. dollars listed by Forbes as the world’s 178th richest man and the third richest in Taiwan, passed away in his sleep in New Jersey during a business tour to the United States. He founded the Formosa Plastics and eventually built Asia’s biggest petrochemical empire. He played an important role in Taiwan’s economic development.
Besides Wang Yung-Ching is known as the “God of Management” in Taiwan, his success in business is a story told in a positive way by people for few decades. I have heard about Wang Yung-Ching since I was an elementary student. I was impressed at his wealth and effort. At that time, when the kids asked their parents to buy something for them, the parents would say “I am not Wang Yung-Ching”. School teachers also mentioned to the students that how did Wang start his first business, a small rice store, when he was a teenager. People were encouraged at his success. Mr. Wang is not only a business man, but also a philanthropist. For example, he donated big money to the victims of the earthquake, constructed hospitals for patients, and built schools for students.
Wang Yung-Ching lived a long life, when he passed away at the age of 92. We might learn from him that how to keep healthy. I think a lot of Taiwanese remember that Mr. Wang went jogging in his company, the Formosa Plastics, sport almost every year when he was still alive.

Palin denies she abused power
My Reactions:
The chief investigator concluded that the Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin violated state ethics law and abused her power as governor by trying to have her former brother-in –low, Mike Wooten , fired as a state trooper. Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegans has said he lost his job because he refused to fire trooper Wooten, who involved in a bitter divorce and custody battle with Palin’s sister. Palin denied and said that there was nothing unlawful or unethical about replacing a cabinet member.
The former President Chen Shui-bian once remained a highly diverse figure for his position on Taiwan independence. After a legislator had announced that Chen wired money of contributor oversea, all of the DPP members and supporters were disappoint and felt like a fool. Most of the people will not trust him anymore no matter what he says. If it is true that Palin used her power as governor to get former brother-in –low fired because her family had feud with him prior to her becoming governor, she will lost the tickets of the electorate of the US.
People rely on elected officials not to use the power of their office to pursue personal benefit. A politician with higher moral standard is required. (206 words)

Economy Creates Surge in Homelessness
My Reactions:
The number of homeless families in Massachusetts has been increasing quickly and massively since last year because of the sour economy, rising energy cost, escalating unemployment and shortage of affordable hosing. The state’s shelter capacity is not sufficient for the homeless families and therefore they will be placed in motels. To help the families move into permanently home quickly, the expert said the state should focus on creating more housing vouchers.
There are more and more families will loss their house because the economic crisis that began in the United States will affect everyone, everywhere in the world .It is really a huge impact. People without a settle home will lead to social problems, especially for the kids. If the children cannot go to school and receive the education regularly, when they grow up, it is difficult for them to get away from poverty and they might have mental health issues, e.g. lack of confidence. Since many parents cannot able to care for their children’s emotion needs during these hard times, the government should supply some policies for them. Providing a shelter for temporary living is very important, because it can keep family together and keep the kids in school. It is also necessary that the school teachers should give mental support for the homeless kids.
Economic downturn has become a worldwide problem, therefore, improving the economic condition is the first priority for most of the authorities. I think we should stay in a simple life before the condition changed.

How some women never get sick
My Reactions:
It was said in the article: If you wanted to be one of those women who never get sick, you may try one or all of these following seven secrets:
1. Get a massage
2. Take a cold shower
3. Treat GI problems “gingerly”
4. Lather up (a lot)
5. Try a cold-blasting cocktail
6. Eat more garlic
7. Stay positive
I agree with the theories mentioned above. When I was an undergraduate student, I learned from my teacher that if you want to have a health life, you have to have a good life style. I have been working as a technologist in Veterans General Hospital of Taichung for fifteen years. When I face the inpatients, who suffer from different disease, I always remind myself –do not get sick. I try to apply some rules in my daily life, e.g. cook food with garlic or ginger and in a good mood, etc. I experienced that if I relax myself, there is no constipation, no skin rash for me.
I was married to my husband when I was age 32 and two years later I had my first kid. How to keep the health of body is what I care about. In my opinion, making a positive thinking is the most important factor for someone who refuses to be sick. I suggest that both doing exercise and having a good sleep are also essential for keeping away from disease. (244 words)
