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

Many years ago, when I was a student, the radio studio manager at WXBN interviewed me and it changed my life.
“How old are you?”he looked down at _______.
“Fifteen,” I said.
“And you want a job in radio?” Shouldn’t you be _______?”he asked.
How could I explain? I’ve always _______ the radio. When I was four or five years old, I remember sitting close to the radio in the living room, listening to my favourite programmes, and the voices of my favourite presenters. It seemed that they were speaking to me in person. _______ the age of nine, I asked for jobs in small radio stations.
As I grew older, my _______ in radio grew. One day I learned about Internet radio. Once a week, I played my favoutite music from my father’s computer to the listeners, talked about life at school, and then closed down and did my homework.
Soon my friends at junior high school started to listen, and then they wanted to _______. We prepared the weekly programmes, articles about music, sports news, jokes and the weather report.
“OK, _______ with me,” the WXBN manager said, I followed him into the studio. Then I sat down in front of a microphone. He was in another room, behind the glass wall.
“OK, let’s do a second check. Just tell me _______ you had for breakfast.”
All radio presenters begin work with the same _______.
“I had eggs, fruit and some milk.”
“OK, that’s great,” the man behind the glass said.
And this was how my first real______in radio began.
