They knew that on November 5th the King would go to the House of Lords to talk with his nobles. The men rented a building next to, the House of Lords. They dug through a wall and put many barrels of gunpowder in a cellar of the House of Lords. They chose a man called Guy Fawkes to set fire to the gunpowder but something went wrong with their plan. One of the men had a relative who was coming to the House of Lords to meet the King. He warned his relative to stay at home. The relative spoke to other nobles and soon the King heard about the danger. Soldiers searched the cellars and found the gunpowder on November 4th. Guy Fawkes was caught and killed. Every year, on November 5th, English children remember Guy Fawkes. They collect old boxes, newspapers and rubbish so that they can make a big fire, which they call a bonfire. They put a pole in the middle of the fire and tie a “guy” to it. “The guy” is the figure of Guy Fawkes and is made of old clothes and paper. Sometimes they push their “guy” round the streets in a cart and ask for money so that they can buy fireworks.In the evening they light the bonfire and let off many fireworks.

But there are other important UN offices all over the world. The World Health Organization, for example, is in Geneva, Switzerland. The International Court of Justice(国际法庭) is in the Hague, Holland. The buildings in New York stand along the East River on the island of Manhattan. The park around them leads right to the water. The park contains many works of art that were given as presents to the UN by member countries. There is a Russian work of art next to an American one. In another part of the garden there is a beautiful Japanese bell. In some ways the garden itself shows the idea of the UN peace among the nations of the world. Outside the UN buildings there is a line of flags almost five blocks long. These are the flags of the member nations. The flag of the United Nations flies above them. When all the flags are flying, the General Assembly(联合国大会) is meeting inside. The General Assembly is the most important part of the UN. At its meetings, any country can bring a problem to the attention of the world. But what language should be used?The first big problem of the UN was what language to use. How would the delegates understand each other? Should they translate everything into all languages, or should they choose one language and translate everything into it? They decided to do neither. Instead, they chose five languages. Everything that is spoken at theGeneral Assembly is translated into Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish. Above the hall of the General Assembly there are several little glass rooms. The translators sit inside them. They must be able to listen to a delegate and to translate at the same time! This is a difficult but very important job. One small mistake could cause many problems. The Security Council(安理会) also meets in New York.

The sight of Barney Clark-alive and conscious after trading his diseased heart for a metal-and-plastic pump-convinced the press, the public and many doctors that the future had arrived. It hadnt. After monitoring production of the Jarvik-7, and reviewing its effects on the 150 or so patients (most of whom got the device as a temporary measure) the U.S. Food and Drug Administration concluded that the machine was doing more to endanger lives than to save them. Last week the agency cancelled its earlier approval, effectively banning (禁止) the device. (设备仪器器件) The recall may hurt Symbion Inc., maker of the J arvik-7, but it wont end the request for an artificial heart. One problem with the banned model is that the tubes木桶 connecting it to an external外部的 power source created a passage for infection. Inventors are now wording on new devices that would be fully placed, along with a tiny power pack, in the patients chest. The first sample products arent expected for another 10 of 20 years. But some people are already worrying that theyll work-and that Americas overextended health-care programs will lose a precious $2.5 billion to $5 billion a year providing them for a relatively few dying patients.
