It was an exciting moment for Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo, a retired married couple from Harbin, China. It was also a great moment for China because it was the country’s first gold medal in the pairs figure(花樣) skating competition at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games.

Everyone was very quiet while Shen and Zhao were skating onto the ice. They were expecting something wonderful to happen. As Soon as the music started, Shen and Zhao skated around the field quickly with beautiful style; every move was perfect. When the music stopped, all the people cheered. In the end Shen and Zhao won the Olympic gold medal.

In China, winter sports are not as popular as they are in America and Northern European countries. So China sent only 90 athletes to Vancouver to take part in a few, carefully chosen sports. Such a good decision also led to Wang Meng and Zhou Yang winning gold medals in the little known, but exciting sport of short track (軌道) speed skating.

China did not win a lot of medals at these Winter Games. Most of the events are still very new to China and need to be developed. But Chinese athletes learn very quickly. For example, China’s women’s curling team(冰壺隊) only began in 2003, but they were No.1 at the 2009 World Women’s Curling Championship.

This means that with hard work and a bit of luck, China’s winter stars could soon shine on the world stage.

"There is nothing left between the sky and the earth any more. Everything has been pulled down, " said one of the villagers alive. "There is no water, no food and no one has come to help. "

After those words Mr Emond felt better. Mrs Davis and Mr Frost didn't feel anything either.

Apple’s logo is one of the most familiar icons(圖標) around the world. But what’s the story about the Apple logo? The image of the apple is obvious, because that’s the name of the company. What about the bite? The famous story is that the logo shows respect and honour for Alan Turing. He was the father of computer science. He researched artificial intelligence(人工智能) and unlocked German wartime codes(密碼). However，after the war, he was put into prison，because of his beliefs. He could not stand the looking down and chose to bite a poisoned apple to end his life in the prison.

However, Rob Janoff, who designed the famous Apple logo, said, “It’s not the truth, but only a legend(傳說, 傳奇). The real reason why I designed it with a bite is very simple. I wanted people to get that it was an apple not a cherry (櫻桃). When I go to markets to buy apples, I always mistake apples for cherries. It really has nothing to do with the scientist.”
