Judgement Day, this time, is set to happen on December 21st, 2012. The date originated from the Mayan calendar, but actually gained popularity through the hit movie, 2012. How will the world end? and how do we know the exact date? There are many theories: A destruction from outer space; a solar storm, a shift in the earth s poles and so on. They all supposedly pointed to the date of December 21st 2012. Unfortunately, none of it is true. Zhu Jin, director of Bejjing Planetarium, said, For earth itself, the end will be billions of years away from now. And for us humans, there is a very small chance that we may be affected by some astronomical factors. However, we dont have the ability to foresee such events so far. So when someone tells you the world is going to end on an exact date, it must be fake. But the truth hasn9 t stopped people from believing. In the sci-fi morrie2012 , the director imagined the end of the world based on the Mayan calendar. The film earned nearly 770 nullion US dollars worldwide. Ning Hong, Hebei Province, said. The movie 2012 did get one thing right. There are arks(方舟)being. made in China, but they re not being built secretly inside the mountains. They are constructed here in the courtyard of a factory. In April, Liu Qiyuan quit his furniture business and devoted himself to developing these huge round balls. He doesnt believe the end is near, but he wants to be prepared just in case. Liu Qiyuan, the Ark builder, said, The concept originated twenty years ago. The Tangshan earthquake had flattened our house, so I wanted to build a shelter that wouldn fall Then in 2004, I saw the tsunami in Indonesia that killed so many people. Then I realized it should be something that could withstand(经受住) the earthquake and float on water. Liu is hoping to use his invention as a life boat on the sea. He s planning to test his product on the water next year. It turns out that rumor, though false, is good for business. Doomsday(世界末日) discounts and products are hot on many online stores. While its surely attracted attention, many complain that it misleads consumers. Their purpose is to promote products. If they believe the world is going to end, who would buy things? Money would be useless, too.41.

The slightest move makes youjump with pain. Nothing could be worse than a pain in the neck That is why we use the phrase to describe some people who give you the same feeling.We have all met such people. One is the man who always seems to be clapping his hands-often at the wrong time-during a performance in the theater. He keeps you from hearing the actors. Even worse are those who can never arrive before the curtain goes up and the play begins. They come hurrying down to your row of seats. You are comfortably settled down, with your hat and heavy coat in your lap. You must stand up to let them pass. You are proud of yourself-control after they have settled into their seats.Well, what now.God, one of them is up again. He forgot to go to the mens room, and once more you have to stand up, hanging on to your hat and coat to let him pass. Now, that is a pain in the neck. Another, well-known to us all, is the person sitting behind you in the movies. His mouth is full of popcorn; he is chewing loudly, or talking between bites to friends next to him. None of them remain still. Up and down, back and forth, they go for another bag of popcorn, or something to drink Then, there is the man sitting next to you at lunch, smoking.
