He left Canton,1Michigan for New Y ork, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar, and created , a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones—a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources.Jason Swencki’s son, Kody, was diagnosed with type diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online children's forums(论坛) together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over," says Swencki, one of the site's volunteers.

Recently, however, more and more people have been going to the movies. This may be partly because the economic(经济) situation in America has worsened. When at the movies, people forget their troubles, as they get lost in the story on the screen. Also, directors have recently been producing pictures that large numbers of people want to see.Americans in the millions are returning to their love affair with the movies. Motion picture industry experts see two main reasons for this: an increased need by Americans to escape from economicworries and a large number of new movies with broad audience appeal.Movie makers admit that their rising popularity is partly the result of poor economic conditions, which traditionally bring an increase in theater attendance. “When people are fearful about the future, they look for escape,” comments Jack Valenti, president of the Motion Picture Association of America. “In a shaded theater, with a 65-foot screen, you lose yourself for two and a half hours and people find this beneficial.”41.

There is a very simple reason: W e live on the earth, and it is the only place we can live on right now, as we cannot live in space yet. If we treat the earth like a garbage dump, it will become dirty and unlivable. If we treat it well by being eco-conscious, the earth will stay clean and suitable for living, for ourselves and for our children. What is “being eco-conscious”?Being eco-conscious means being aware of your actions, and what you do to the environment. For example, you might think, “Using hairspray is great for fixing my hair.” However, if you are eco-conscious, you would ask, “Does this hairspray have CFCs in it? Could I be destroying the earth by using hairspray?”How can I be eco-conscious?2Y ou can find many simple ways to help the environment in your everyday life.When you go shopping, bring a bag or a basket with you. Please try not to use plastic bags as much as you can.Y ou can go to work by bike or on foot if it is not far from your home.Y ou can put your rubbish into different bags, which makes it convenient for recycling.Y ou can eat less chewing gum.Y ou can use your own chopsticks instead of the disposable ones in your company or in restaurants. Y ou can put batteries in a special box instead of in garbage bins.Y ou can use the water which has been used for washing vegetables or fruits to clean the floor and the toilet or to water your garden.Y ou can turn off the decorative lights in your room when watching TV.Y ou can turn down your air conditioner by one degree, as this will cause a 10% reduction in energy use.Y ou can use recycled paper.
