London（AFP）-Friday the 13th proved suitably unlucky for one 13-year-old boy who was struck by lightning before being taken to hospital-at 13:13 on the dreaded date.
"They boy, who has not been named, was treated for a slight burn after being hit along with two others at an air show in Suffolk, eastern England." a spokeswoman said.
Staff(人员) at eh St. Johns Ambulance service said there had been heavy rain all day before they saw a big flash of lightning and loud clap of thunder over the sea off the Suffolk coast.
"We got a call that someone had been struck by lightning so we immediately sent our first aid emergency stall to the scene, followed by an ambulance." said Rex Clarke, head of the team of St. John Ambulance volunteers at the event.
"Lightning strikes can cause cardiac arrest (心搏骤停), but when our volunteers arrived the boy was conscious and breathing."
Clarke added that two other people were treated for injuries from lightning burns in the space of twenty minutes, and that all three people were holding umbrellas at the time which " acts as a conductor (导体) for electricity".
Jason Gillingham, a County Ambulance officer on scene at the show, said, "This was a slight burn t the boy's shoulder, but he was taken to hospital and is recovering well."
Although traditional pet stores are somewhere you buy an animal to be your friend at home, there's a new kind of pet store where you spend some quality time with the animals and just walk away, without taking anything. What really matters is the experience.
I visited one of these stores in the Sanlitun area in Beijing. I was targeting call ducks, which are famous for their cute looks and, of course, their sky-high prices, each of them can easily cost a few thousand yuan. Since I was not planning to spend so much on a duck, visiting them in one of these—what I'd call "mini-zoos"—seemed to be the perfect option.
There were a total of five call ducks at the store—among other animals—and we spent a good three hours with them. We got to learn much about them.
Call ducks are not as obedient as cats, so playing with them would include a lot of running from our side and quacking(呱呱叫) from theirs. Also, don't expect them to be house-trained, one of the ducks actually pooped(排便) while sitting on my leg. But none of these little incidents reduced the pleasure of holding them in my hands and touching their full chests. It was like the whole world's joy was in my hands, for those call ducks are fun and comforting—something I would hardly ever expect from work.
That's the magic of animals: You don't have to own them—simply spending time with them is enough.
No matter how old your kids are, you can take steps to improve a healthy diet and to encourage good eating habits.
Family Meals
Children like to guess what they are going to have and parents get the chance to introduce new foods to children. Parents can also use the mealtime as a chance to talk with their kids about their life.
Healthy Snacks
Kids, especially younger ones, will eat mostly what can get at home. Parents can prepare some healthy snacks at home, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, yogurt and whole-grain biscuits.
The best way for you to encourage healthy eating is to eat well yourself. Kids will follow the lead of the adults they see every day. By eating fruits and vegetables and avoiding fast food and sweet drinks, you are sending the right message.

It was well after midnight. I stood silently staring out of the window, feeling cold. All in my thought was nothing but the 1 to come. It finally came at 9 a.m. I was 2 into an operating room. Six hours later, I was sent back. The next day I found myself on my 3, half walking, half supported by medical equipment and my 4. The orders were to walk the length of the hospital5 and then back. It was then that I first met the man, 6 was standing in the doorway, smiling and nodding as I passed with my brother. On the fourth week when I was able to 7alone along the passage, I stopped a minute to chat. He explained that he had brought his son to this 8 full of hope, but things were not going well. I told him I would pray (祈祷) for his 9. He thanked me but shook his head10. Then came the day 11 the doctor told me I was well enough to go home. This man was so happy for me. I felt his 12.
That was 14 years ago. Yet I think of him often and his love is always in my heart. When 13 a life-threatening illness, job loss, however serious it may be, we can turn to those around us and will 14 the love of others, almost freely and thankfully. This kind of love is blind to race and color, and will 15 forever.
When I was young , I lived in a quiet small town with my mom. My mom was beautiful and kind but one day she got a contagious(传染的) disease， which was said to be very serious. I was worried about her , seeing her becoming thinner and paler day by day. Mother's Day was coming. I decided to buy mom some flowers to make her happy. There was only one flower shop in the town-Mr. Rocco's.
It was time for Mr. Rocco to shut up shop when I hurried into the florist's (花店). "Now, what is it that you want?" Mr. Rocco turned to me. "I want the most beautiful flower you have." I replied, still breathing hard. "And just how much do you have to pay for this most beautiful flower?" I held out a wet hand showing a quarter and a dime. He nodded, thought for a while and then showed me a plant on the counter. "I can give you this one for 35 cents." he said. "Aw, no," I protested, looking desperately at the poor plant "it looks like a weed(野草)!" About 18 inches high, the plant was in a small pot covered with faded red paper. "Now trust me, boy — I promise that tomorrow morning when you get up, you will find your most beautiful flower." said Mr. Rocco. I knew him to be a good honest man, so I agreed to take it. I believed what Mr. Rocco said about the flower and hoped tomorrow morning there would be a nice surprise for my mom.
It was almost midnight when I arrived home. Mom was seriously sick and using the front bedroom. I looked in to see if she was asleep, and then quietly tiptoed in and set the plant on the table beside her bed. I wanted her to be surprised when she woke on Mother's Day.
