In 2010, Jack Ma, the CEO of Tmall and Taobao, had coined the term “Double Eleven”, aimed to encourage the single people to do something to celebrate their own festival. Instead of dating lovers, people go on-line shopping to relive(再体验) the loneliness. According to the survey, China had 564 million Internet users at the end of last year and 180 million single people. And the single people are the main force of the China’s spending power.

Strange,but the green sea turtle is not that green. It’s certainly not as green as a tree. In fact,its shell(壳)is nearly black or brown.The largest hard-shelled sea turtle is between 200 and 300 pounds heavy and a shell is between 36 and 43 inches(英尺)long.But its head is smaller than other turtles.
Little baby green sea turtles are only two inches long.As the turtle grows up,its shell keeps mostly black while the body turns orange or brown.Young turtles like living in the sea,especially in areas with 1ots of sea grasses.
Green sea turtles,like all sea turtles,are very different from land or river turtles.All sea turtles can swim through the water faster.Instead of feet for walking,sea turtles have flippers(鳍状肢)which are better for swimming.The flippers aren’t good on land,however,and walking is hard for a sea turtle because they are usually big and heavy.
One other interesting thing about a sea turtle’s flippers is that they cannot be pulled into their shells.Land turtles can pull their feet into their shells for protection.but a sea turtle can’t.

Soul.South Korean---Prime Minister Chung Hong-won,apologized and offered to resign (辞职)on Sunday,as the country remained angry and sad over the sinking of a ship that left 302(most of them are high school students),dead and missing.

Later because of bad weather, the underwater rescue(救援)and search have been greatly difficult.Efforts were also being made to prevent the ship’s oil from going further into the sea.
The government has come under fire as it showed the accident had been caused partly because of the misleading of government and lack of safety measures.It was also criticized(谴责) for failing to save the people quickly during the early rescue hours when the accident happened.
South Koreans were especially heart-broken by the fact that most of the dead and missing were students on a class trip.People who were saved reported that the captain and staff of the ship ordered passengers to stay inside and not to move while the ship was sinking off.It was probably one of the reasons why people still died after they had already worm the life jackets.
As for Sunday morning,115 passengers remained missing.The number of the survivors(幸存者),174,has not changed.The deaths have been 187 so far.
When did this terrible accident happen?

Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend's house. This could be a box of chocolates for you two to share, or maybe a movie that you can watch together. You can also bring some flowers. A little gift is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his house.
