【推荐1】As we all know,drinking beers while running can upset the stomach.However,that's all part of the attraction of the Beer Mile,a unique race that has participants competing in running and drinking.The Beer Mile Race started off as a tradition in 1990,when a group of Canadians thought it would be fun to race each other while drinking a few beers.But it has come a long way since then.The Beer Mile Race is now a major sporting event with around 100,000 official competitors,brand name sponsors and so on.In 2015,the first Beer Mile World Classic was held in San Francisco,where all of the record holders from Canada and the United States came together for the competition.But this year,the event was organized in London,in an effort to take in more competitors about the sport outside North America.

The rules of the race are pretty simple: runners have to consume four beers before each of the four 400-meter laps making up the famous Beer Mile.The beers can come in bottles or cans but should not be less than 355ml and must be at least 5% alcohol.The drink like apple juice will not do.Runners must drink the beers within a 10 meter zone before the start/finish line and then they are required to tip the bottle/can over their heads to confirm it is empty.

In the case of vomiting（呕吐）during the race,and yes,there’s quite a bit of that during the Beer.Mile,offenders must complete one more lap at the end of the race.Organizers mention that even in the case of vomiting several times, only one more lap must be completed.

This year,the Elite Men's race was won by Canadian Corey Bellemore,who also set a new world record with a time of 4 minutes and 34 seconds.“I just drink the beers as quickly as I could,hold them down and get the burps（饱嗝）out,”Corey said.“If you can drink a beer in 8 seconds and also run very fast with a feeling of vomiting,then you’ll be fine like me.”

【推荐3】Carving pumpkins is a classic Halloween activity. Families and friends can come together to create amazing scenes and faces out of pumpkins while enjoying each others' company in a family friendly environment.

    1     After choosing your pumpkin, you should make sure you have all of the right carving tools. Once you have the right pumpkin, the tools, and perhaps a template, it is time to start carving.

First, use a saw to cut out the top, around the stem of the pumpkin, so you can reach inside. You can cut the top of the pumpkin round. Of course, you can cut a notch in it.     2     Once your top is off, reach inside with a large spoon and take out all of the seeds and stuff insides of the pumpkin.

When all of the insides are taken out and the inside of your pumpkin looks clean, you are ready to start carving. You can use a pen to draw your pattern onto the pumpkin so it's easier to carve or you can draw your design.     3    

After your pumpkin is carved, it is time to put it outside of the house and light it.     4    That gives it the flaming quality which is the best on Halloween. You can also use some lights that are battery powered rather than actually on fire.

On Halloween night, your fantastic pumpkin creations will surely amaze all of the trick-or-treaters.     5     Hopefully, you have fun carving pumpkins with all of your favorite people and sharing your creation with the world.
