On winter nights, the wind usually blows strongly. Most of us stay inside our warm homes. Few of us think about the homeless. These people have no choice but to sleep on the streets. Some of them are so poor that they have no money to buy food.
A young man in Birmingham, England, made a decision to do something about this. Every night, he puts on a Spider-Man suit and gives food to the homeless he meets. He makes sure that these people won't go hungry.
The man refuses to make his name public. The local people call him the "Birmingham Spider-Man". The young man hopes his action will show others that everybody deserves (应得) a helping hand.
The 25-year-old man started his night activities in 2015. Every night at 9, he buys some sandwiches. Then. he finds a quiet alley and puts on his "uniform". After that, the "Spider-Man" starts handing his food out to people in need.
The man said, "I wear the Spider-Man suit in order to get attention." Without the suit, few people took a second look at him when he was handing out food. When people see the "Spider-Stan",however, they come over and ask what he is doing.
"The Birmingham Spider-Man" has already got lots of attention. Many people have offered to give away money to him. But the young man never accepts the money. Instead, he encourages people to go out and help people in need on their own. He said, "If more people offer a helping hand, the cold winter nights won't be so cold any longer."

In Pontevedra, a city in Spain, people don't shout. Since cars are banned (明令禁止) in the city, there are no noises from cars. People don't have to try hard to make themselves heard. What you hear in the street, instead, is the singing of birds.
Miguel Lores, the mayor (市长), opens the windows of his office, and the sound of human voices1. (rise) from the street below. Lores says, "More than 14,000 cars used to pass along this street every day. There 2.(be) more cars passing through the city in a day than people living here."
Lores became mayor in 1999. He spent months3.(walk) around the city. "The historical city is dead," he said one day. "It is full of cars. It4.(pollute) heavily. There are a lot of traffic accidents. The elderly and children aren't able to use the streets because of cars. People who had a chance to leave have done so."
At first, Lores thought of improving traffic conditions. However, he couldn't come up with a good plan. After lots of discussions, the government finally decided5.( take ) action to ban cars.
The change6.(bring ) Pontevedra many advantages since then. Traffic accidents seldom happen. CO2emissions (排放物) are down 70 percent. Many people are moving to the city, making it lively again.

Wake up, boys and girls! Put up your hand if you try to repair your tired body by sleeping in(睡懒觉)on weekends. A new study says the habit might not be a good idea for your health.
The ten-day study came out in the magazine Current Biology. Volunteers were divided into three groups. The first group enjoyed nine hours' sleep each night. The second group was allowed to sleep only five hours each night. The third group was given five hours' sleep Monday through Friday.1.But they were put back on the short sleep schedule the next Monday.
Both the second and third groups ate more snacks at night and put on weight. They also saw a decrease (减少) in insulin sensitivity (胰岛素敏感性), a warning sign for diabetes (糖尿病). Researchers have long known a tack (缺乏) of sleep can increase health risks.2.
"Even though people in the third group slept as much as they could on the weekend, it was not enough," said Dr Kenneth Wright, who led the study. "When they went back to the short sleep schedule the next week, their body failed to control blood sugar. 3.
So what should we do if sleeping in over the weekend is not a good choice? 4. Cut out the "sleep stealers" such as watching television shows or spending time on computers or mobile phones. Always remember. Getting enough sleep is as important as having good caring habits or doing exercise regularly.
A.That was partly because their biological clock (生物钟) had been changed.
B.People can repair their tired body by sleeping in on weekends.
C.But it was surprising that the third group had been worse than the second one.

E.And then they were allowed to sleep as much as they liked over a weekend.
