7、　　The Lego Group had a very humble beginning in the workshop of Ole Kirk Christiansen, a carpenter from Denmark. Christiansen began creating wooden toys in 1932. Two years later, he came up with the name Lego by putting together the first two letters of the Danish words Leg and Godt, which mean “play well.” The name could be interpreted as “I put together” in Latin; it is also similar to the Greek verb meaning “gather” or “pick up.”　　

　　In 1947, the company expanded to making plastic toys. At first, the use of plastic for toy production was not highly regarded by businessmen and consumers of the time. Many of the Lego Group’s shipments were returned, following poor sales. However, Christiansen’s son, Godtfred Kirk Christiansen, saw the great potential in Lego bricks to become a system for creative play. As the junior managing director of the Lego Group, he spent years trying to improve the “l(fā)ocking” ability of the bricks and made the bricks more flexible. In 1958, the modern interlocking(連鎖) brick design was finally developed and patented.　

　　Today Lego is sold in more than 130 countries. Every minute 33,824 Lego bricks are made, and kids around the world spend 5 billion hours a year playing with Lego. There will be more than 400 million people playing with Lego bricks this year. On average, every person in the world owns 62 Lego bricks, and about seven Lego sets are sold every second.

This year Lego fans all over the world are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the tiny building blocks. Though already 50 years old, Lego is still the same product it was in the 1950s. Bricks bought then can still match current bricks and that is probably the reason the toy has never fallen out of favor.

6、　　During my ninth-grade year, I suffered from “anorexia nervosa”. It was not enough to be thin. I had to be the thinnest. Now, however, fully recovered, I can reflect back and realize that my wishes were more complex than fitting into size five pants. Many of my hidden emotions were related to my relationship with my father. As I was growing up, his work always came first. Sometimes I would not see him for up to two weeks. Not only did he devote his whole self to his work, but he expected me to do the same (“You cannot get anywhere unless you go to the best universities!”). Though, consciously, I never felt pressure to please him, I began dieting after the first time he told me I looked fat.　　

　　At the time, all I knew was that I had to be thin―thinner than anyone else. Every month my father went to Europe for a week or so and on the days he left, sorrow and emptiness swallowed me: Daddy was leaving. Then, I turned to focus on a mysterious weakness―a helpless childlike emotion that came from starving. I liked to know that I needed to be taken care of; maybe Daddy would take care of me.

Now, two years later and thirty-eight pounds heavier, I have come to realize that I cannot change my father’s inability to express his feelings. Instead, I must accept myself. I know that I am a valuable person who struggles to achieve and accomplish. But I cannot struggle solely for others. By starving, I attempted to gain pride in myself by obtaining my father’s approval or acknowledgment of my value as a person. But the primary approval must come from me, and I feel secure now that I can live with that knowledge safely locked in my mind.

5、In the Lincolnshire village of Burgh-le-Marsh there was once a large area of land called Bell String Acre. It got its name, the local legend tells, because of a narrow escape. On a dark winter's night early in the seventeenth century, they say, a ship's captain was guiding his ship to pass along this difficult distance of coast when he suddenly heard church bells. “If I can hear those,” the captain reasoned, “then I must be far too close to shore for comfort.” Swiftly he changed his position, thus saving himself and his ship. To show his thanks, he soon afterwards bought a piece of land at Burgh-le-Marsh. Rent on this Bell String Acre, he ordered, should go toward the maintenance of the church bell's pull-rope, so that it might ring out its helpful warnings, he required firmly, “for ever.”

Another less charming story tells how the townspeople refused to ring the bell, for they all relished the idea of stealing goods from shipwrecks, but that a minister ran to the tower and rang the bell. His brave act saved the ship, but then the minister died of extreme tiredness. (And then it is said, the grateful captain married the clergyman's daughter.)

In any case, the captain’s request is honored all winter long in Burgh-le-Marsh. Beginning every October 10, the bell rings nightly at 8 p.m. April 7 is the last night of the bells―that is, till the next October.

D. The church couldn’t afford to keep the bell’s pull-rope in good condition

4、Kiss of Death is a romantic detective story whose basic theme focuses totally on dogs.

Whitney Marshall had just gone through a divorce, appearing practically penniless while her husband, a promising plastic surgeon, was left with the property and the debts, and his new wife. Whitney seeks help from her cousin, Miranda, who had lived with them as a child. Miranda is operating a dog walking business and lives in the caretaker's cottage of one of her employers, Calvin Hunter. Whitney’s approach is timely as Miranda is getting married and leaving for a two- week honeymoon. She leaves her house and the dogs in Whitney’s care.

Living next door is Adam Hunter; an expert of the Iraqi war who had suffered a battle injury. During his recovery, his uncle Calvin had asked Adam to his home in Greece telling him that he was certain someone was likely to murder him.

His uncle Calvin recently died of an apparent heart attack and Adam has come to Calvin California home to straighten out his affairs and to further investigate the death. Adam is from the area, and was previously called up in the security business with his former police partner.

Immediately after Calvin's death, his home had been broken into and the only things stolen were his computer and related things. Adam has an accountant trying to sort out his uncle financial affairs. His uncle had become fascinated to a pet dog who had “taken Westminster by storm,”and had caught the dog show fever, spending his time judging and attending shows. To the surprise of all, however, there does not seem to be any money in his accounts.

Whitney and Adam meet when he catches her in the house. Whitney is merely dealing with Calvin’s dog, one of her new responsibilities. They continue to meet as outside causes throw them together and romance starts.

Whitney’s former husband Ryan tries to persuade her to sign a deal over to him that he claims he had not been properly taken care of in the divorce. She is hesitating, waiting to see a lawyer. Then, Whitney’s dog is missing, kidnapped(綁架) by Ryan’s new wife’s personal trainer; the caretaker’s cottage is bombed; and most importantly, they find the man that Miranda was to marry had never heard of her, and she seems missing.

The plot seems to circle among all these people, heading nowhere until the end of the book when it picks up speed, and all is exposed. Kiss of Death will be unforgettable only to readers who enjoy learning mysterious facts about dogs.
