his family I never thought I would see a black President in my life time so this is historic and I wanted to celebrate that The micro sculptor s work is so small you need a microscope to see it it is invisible to the naked eye But Willard creates it all by hand in an astonishing process It takes him up to three months to create each amazing and unique sculpture which usually sits within the eye of a needle or on a pin head The personal sacrifice involved in creating pieces is almost unimaginable Willard enters a meditative state in which his heartbeat is slowed allowing him to reduce hand trembling and sculpt between pulse beats Even the reverberation 回声 caused by traffic outside can affect Willard s work so he often works through the night when there is very small disturbance In the past he has created micro sculptures of such stars as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie P Diddy Charlie Chaplin Marilyn Monroe and even The Simpsons But it is the President Obama sculpture that he is most proud of having spent more than three months creating it especially for his US tour I think the Obama sculpture is my favorite of all time as it s the most significant piece that I have ever done Willard s work has been described as the eighth wonder of the world He started off his career at the tender age of five when he would make houses for ants Willard who is from Birmingham was later

the French market Actes Sud Junior said it had also felt the effect of the J K Rowling phenomenon among French children though its current success was a German series translated as Les Enquetes dea Main Noire that gave junior readers mind riddles not magic In the United States the same thing happened If you go into a bookshop you are told read this while you wait for the next Harry Potter or if you have liked the last Harry Potter you will like this too It has changed the market and become a way of selling books And of course everybody is waiting to see what the next big thing will be But Harry Potter has helped all of us In England it is exactly the boys in the age group that were reading less that are now reading him Said Victoria Wilkins from Robert Frederick publishers And Gallimard s Pasquet says people are wrong to confine 把 限制在 the Potter books to the magic genre This is not the main thing in the books they are first and foremost about relations between people That is what makes them universal Other editors admit Harry Potter is still by far the biggest thing on the market and if they cannot match its great success more than 300 million copies were sold even

s home was destroyed in the Chicago Fire of 1871 Gillette became a traveling salesman This work led him to William Painter the inventor of the disposable 一次性的 Crown Cork bottle cap who assured Gillette that a successful invention was one that was purchased over and over again by satisfied customer In 1895 after several years of considering and rejecting possible inventions Gillette suddenly had a brilliant idea while shaving one morning It was an entirely new razor 剃刀 and blade 刀片 that flashed in his mind a razor with a safe inexpensive and disposable blade It took six years for Gillette s idea to evolve During that time technical experts told Gillette that it would be impossible to produce steel that was hard thin and inexpensive enough for commercial development of the disposable razor blade Then in 1901 MIT graduate William Nickerson agreed to try By 1903 he had succeeded Production of the Gillette R safety razor and blade began as the Gillette Safety Razor Company started operations in South 用心 爱心 专心7 Boston Sales grew steadily During World War I the U S Government issued Gillette safety razors to the entire armed forces By the end of the war some 3 5 million razors

they feel start and stop fights and warn others of danger Here are some of the more unusual ways that animals talk Dogs bark cats meow birds chirp We re pretty familiar with these forms of communication But animals use sounds in other ways too To find a mate the male ruffed grouse stands on a hollow log and beats his wings making a drumming sound The hollow log amplifies the sound so that it can be heard for up to a quarter of a mile Mole rats 鼹鼠 use a banging sound for the opposite reason They like to live alone So they warn other mole rates to stay out of their way by banging 猛撞 their heads on the top of their tunnels 地道 用心 爱心 专心8 Animals use touch to communicate in many ways Biting kicking and hitting send obvious messages but touch can also be used in friendly ways

greeting Dancing is another way to talk When a bee wants to tell other bees where to find a good stash of nectar 花蜜 it performs a special dance waggling its body and moving in ways that tell the other bees which direction to go and how far to fly Some creatures even put their message in lights Each type of firefly has its own flashing code This helps males and females find mates of the same species The lights not only tell what kind of firefly it is they also guide the insects to each other Color can also be important The cuttlefish turns different colors to show how it feels When it s ready to fight it turns a dark color Another way to communicate without actually being there is through smell A gazelle 瞪羚 has special scent glands 臭腺 near its eyes that it rubs on branches to mark its territory When other gazelles pick up the smell they realize that this territory has already been claimed Many animals mark territory by smell including domestic cats and their wild cousins The ways
