Table top magic requires no secret formula．Even the simplest meal will be received with enthusiasm if the table accessories are creative and colorful．No matter what type of dinnerware you own，you can enhance its beauty with a variety of attractive table linens．
When selecting a supply of tablecloths，place mats and napkins，choose easy—care or permanent—press fabrics because these fabrics will reduce your workload when washday rolls around．Another consideration is the suitability of your linens for your dining style or the types of entertaining you do．The shape of your table will also dictate the kind of tablecloth you purchase．Circular or rounded tables look best covered with round or oval tablecloths．Square—cornered tables require squares or rectangles．
Finally，your table linens should?complement?your dinnerware．An elegant table setting requires an elegant tablecloth．A setting of stoneware looks best with heavy of colorful fabrics．
But sure to take all the necessary measurements before you start shopping for fabric of your choice．It could be embarrassing if your tablecloths are not long enough to cover the tables．It is equally distressing if your tablecloth is so long that your guests have to watch where they walk．

In 1924,Nordic ski events were held at the first Winter Olympics in Chamonix,France．But the American skiers came home without medals．Norway took most of the medals for cross-country and ski jumping events that year．They did the same for many years after．From 1924 through 1972,the American skiers had no medals to show for their Olympic trips．The U．S．was generally thought to be weak in ski competition
But in 1974 it was discovered that the U．S．record was slightly better than people had been led to believe．And Norway's record was not quite as good．The discovery was a surprise and a delight to American ski fans,but even more so to American skier Anders Haugen．After fifty years,Anders got the medal he should have won back in 1924．
In the ski jump event at Chamonix in 1924,Haugen had scored in fourth place．He had just missed earning a medal．His score was 17．916,just slightly behind Thorleif Haug of Norway．Haug's score of 18 had won him the bronze medal．
But in 1974,Norway's National Olympic Committee did a check of all final Olympic results．There had been an error in?computing?Haug's score!So Haugen,now,an elderly man,traveled across the ocean for his award．On September 12,1974,hewas given a bronze medal in a special ceremony at the Norway Ski Museum．

6、Pub hours shake-up revealed next week
By James Hardy Political Editor
PUBS and clubs will be allowed to stay open round-the-clock under a planned radical change of Britain's outdated licensing(许可证发放)laws.
Prime Minister Tony Blair yesterday revealed a Bill(议案)to bring in the long-awaited improvement will be contained in the Queen's Speech next week．Some public bars and clubs could be open all hours while others could choose different closing times into the early hours.
Police forces around the country have said different closing times will mean the explosion in violence and vandalism(破坏行为)after 11p.m.-when aggressive drunks are sent out at the same time．
The move will be opposed by some MPs(下院议员)who fear it will lead to increased alcoholism,drunken behavior and crime．But ministers say there will be controls on which pubs and clubs are allowed to open 24 hours a day.
Places which consistently attract violent drunks and troublemakers will be turned down.
Mr．Blair said:"We believe there should be greater flexibility in licensing．In the end,the evidence that we have is that it may help in the fight against anti-social behavior．At the moment the very fixed nature of the hours sometimes means that you get particular problems outside pubs and city centers at particular hours of the evening."
The big change will be accompanied by a strict action on petty criminals who cause misery to urban and rural communities.
In a bid to prevent criticism of the licensing improvement,the Govenment is to extend on-the-spot fines to a range of offences from vandalism.
The PM said yesterday petty crime was the single biggest cause of daily aggressive behavior for millions.
Some people say that when this law is passed,__

There are many benefits to using online distance learning environments．Online education is available all the time,anywhere and to all people．However,there are weaknesses for some learners．The online learner only has the written text and no other face-to-face hints．This may confuse the learner and cause misunderstanding．While distance learning allows for an openness,it is also difficult because it is done by e-mail messages and writing,and therefore may take more time than face-to-face learning．Sometimes the messages can be overwhelming for many online students.
Universities,colleges and schools use online distance learning environments．These are important for students who may be unable to attend classes for various reasons like illnesses or busy everyday schedules．Some learners just want to further their studies at home．They enjoy the convenience of home learning as they take regular programs or enrichment classes.
Online courses keep learners very occupied at all hours of the day．There are a great many messages and other online resources to read and respond to．Most learners have regular jobs or attend regular school classes on ground as well．However,the benefits are clear．Online distance learning is becoming very popular．Some online classes have become a profitable business as they replace regular traditional means of learning.
