Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958. He was born in Gary, Indiana. He was the seventh child out of nine children in his family. Michael was often bodily abused(虐待) by his father, beaten up and also verbally(口头地) abused, but his father’s being strict led to Michael’s success.
Michael was always an entertainer(表演者). Even when he just joined school, he would perform in front of friends and classmates. Michael started his professional(职业的) music career at the age of 11, becoming a member of The Jackson Five.
He’s well-known for increasing the popularity(流行) of MTV through his music videos. Some of the music videos that are good examples of this fact are Beat It, Billie Jean and Thriller. Michael attracted his fans and audiences with his style of singing, dressing, and his special dance moves, especially “Moonwalk”. The moonwalk is something that people from every part of the world loved and tried to follow.
With the help of Michael Jackson, 39 charities worked very well. Through his work, he raised and donated the most money to charity, much more than any other showman. He had great love for children, especially the poor ones, and he felt children were the next best thing after God.
Michael planned to start a 50-concert tour(巡回演出) in July 2009. Sadly, on 25th June, 2009, Michael passed away at home. Michael Jackson was a great performer, showman and entertainer. It’s not likely that there will ever be another entertainer like Michael Jackson again in the near future.

People say that George Washington, the first president of the United States, never told a lie. But it seems that the president was not without faults.

A New York library recently found that Washington borrowed two books from the library in 1789. He didn’t return them.

If he were still alive, he would have to pay the library ＄300,000 for being 220 years late.

On October 5, 1789, when the first president borrowed the books form the New York Society Library, he didn’t sign his name in the borrower’s book. He just wrote “president” to show who had taken them out.

The two books should have been brought back a month later but were never returned. Workers at the library realized the books were missing.

The New York Society Library doesn’t expect anyone to pay the fine. But it hopes that someone will return the books.

If a snake bites you, take a photo with your mobile phone! It may save your life. This is the surprising advice of a British cook.
One day Henry Jackson was working in a restaurant kitchen. He picked up a dish from the table, and suddenly a snake appeared... and bit him on the hand.
A few days earlier, the snake came to the restaurant from Asia in a box of bananas. It climbed out of the box and hid under the dish.
"I went to try to pick it up and it bit me again. I threw it across the kitchen, and it landed in the fridge. So I closed the door," Mr. Jackson said.
Anyway, Mr. Jackson stayed cool and he took a photo of the snake with his mobile phone. Soon his hand began to ache and he went to hospital. Then his chest began to hurt. Doctors couldn't say what was wrong because they didn't know what kind of snake it was.
Then Mr. Jackson remembered his mobile phone photo. The doctors sent it to London Zoo. When they knew the kind of snake, they could give Mr. Jackson the right medicine, and he left hospital the next day.
"So my advice is this: if a snake bites you, pick up your phone. Take its photo first and then show the photo to the doctors," suggests Mr. Jackson. "Oh, and if the snake doesn't smile for its photo, don't worry."
