Jilin city is a popular destination for tourists to come each winter to view the wonderful rime ice on trees along the banks of the Songhua River. Though Jilin is not outstanding as a tourist city, its name spreads among travelers nationwide because of the rime. The rime on the Songhua River is one of four natural wonders in China, enjoying equal fame as Guilin Mountains and Streams, Yunnan Stone Forest and the Three Gorges on the Yangtze River do. The rime, also called “snow willow” “tree hanging” “ice flowers” “silver flowers”, is a kind of phenomenon.

The current Rime Ice and Snow Festival includes 12 programs, such as the opening ceremony of the “Praise of Winter”, “Brightness of Winter”-China’s Jilin International Rime Ice and Snow Festival large musical fireworks show, “Challenge of Winter”-China’s Jilin thousands of people winter swim in the Songhua River and so on. The entire festival activities will continue until the end of February. At night, a large-scale fireworks show will be held at Fengfan Square beside the Songhua River. People there will dance for joy, and both sides of the Songhua River will turn into a sea of joy.

Rime Island or Wusong Dao is only 40 kilometers from Jilin city, but lower than it. Rime Island is completely surrounded by water and is a meeting point for cold air to meet warmer ocean air. The island is often covered with heavy fog, with fog covering up to this small 6-kilometer island and not evaporating(蒸发). The best time to appreciate rime is before 10 o'clock in the morning.

Stan Lee tried his hand at many different jobs as a teenager but found his real task when he began to work for Timely Comics (连环漫画) in 1939. He rose to be Editor-in-Chief and introduced a range of iconic and extremely popular characters.

When DC Comics brought superheroes back into their comics in the 1950s, Timely Comics had to react. The company changed its name to Marvel, and Stan Lee was given the job of creating a series of new comic-book characters that would compete.

Stan already had a few ideas that he was keen to develop, and he introduced Fantastic Four to comic-reading Americans. The new heroes were an immediate hit, and Stan Lee could see that with careful and detailed planning, the new market could be well served by Marvel.

As the new market developed, Stan Lee stuck to his ideas, and came up with a new approach to storytelling through comics. Stan could see that comic-book fans wanted more than just illustrated stories. They wanted larger than life characters, but with a lot of humanity and weaknesses.

These new fans wanted to be part of a community where they felt involved with the whole process of comic book creation. Stan introduced credits for writers, illustrators and letterers. Each step of the process was explained, and fans soon developed loyalty (忠诚) to particular writers or artists.

The energy and commitment that Stan brought to this new world soon resulted in imaginative new characters. In cooperation with others, Stan introduced Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, the X-Men, Doctor Strange, and Daredevil. These superheroes lived in a universe they all shared. This also included Marvel's single most successful comic-book character — Spider-man.

Hosting an international sports event is an important thing that has to be prepared well. Due to that, many opinions exist.

Firstly, positive views need to be talked about. When a country gets to host such a famous event, it will probably get well-known by other nations, and surely that can help the country a lot. For instance, the government and residents have a chance to use the opportunity to advertise their culture to foreign people. Above all, by doing that, the country’s economy might increase sharply during the event. Besides, it will satisfy some people’s wish to meet famous sports players. They have a high rate of talking to their favorite players whom they really want to talk to once in their life.

However, the risk of hosting a big event still exists. An important event is not necessarily good at all. That is why there is a debate about this topic. If a country can’t be able to prepare for the event in a period, they have to do as many ways as possible to finish preparation on time, and serious results may happen. The most obvious thing is that people attending that event will have a bad experience and are sure to make grumbles. This then affects the country’s image. For example, Qatar is a country that will host the 2022 World Cup. The government has to rush to finish building big stadiums, over 6,000 migrant workers sacrificing (牺牲)their lives for that. Hearing the sad news, some people around the world disagree to go to Qatar to attend the World Cup. The result is that Qatar has been badly affected.

In conclusion, hosting an international sports event is both good and bad, and good things or bad things depend on that country’s attitude and responsibility.

On Tuesday, Australian Broadcasting Corporation was informed about the patented device that is developed by Len Humphreys and Thomas Maschmeyer, Sydney University professors, to process plastic. The pair of Australian scientists have come off with the solution to the significant problem in today's environment that is the recycling of plastic. Plastic is the only thing that currently cannot be recycled.

The two scientists have invented a device called Catalytic Hydrothermal Reactor. The method that can deal with plastic is known as the Catalytic Hydrothermal Reactor(Cat-HTR). Humphreys said to Australian Broadcasting Corporation that the new device could turn plastic into fuel or remade new plastic with the process that is known as chemical recycling. By the process of chemical recycling, the plastic changes at a molecular level, and after that, it changes the plastic into oil.

Humphreys also said that the Cat-HTR is different from physical recycling as you don't have to separate the plastic according to the type and color. The device could change the plastic back to the liquid and the chemical that they were formed. The device could also change the plastic into petrol or any different kinds of plastic, according to Humphreys.

The Cat-HTR could recycle everything from milk boxes to wetsuits according to the report. The product is going to be introduced in the United Kingdom by the company Licella as the company is pushing the technology into the market. This product is an emergency requirement all around the globe to reduce the waste as every year, and only ten percent of the 3.5 tons of plastics that are thrown away are recycled. Due to the increasing misuse, the plastic was almost banned from the market; still, the issue is not solved, and the new device may reduce the problem.
