Letter To The Editor Should We Bring Notebook Computers to School?By Senior Reporter, Lo Yat Long 5Y

Dear Editor,

As mentioned in variousarticles o dierent newspa-pers, it is obvious that learn-ing on notebook computershas become widely popular. Iknow several riends who are

attending secondary schoolswhich allow them to bringtheir own notebook computerto help them learn in Englishlessons. Many people havesuggested that our schoolollow this trend. However, inthe case o our school, I be-lieve our students should notbe allowed to study Englishwith such advanced technol-ogy during lessons.

Certainly, such a methodo learning is widely used.But I do not think it willwork with students in ourschool.Notebook computersprovide way more than justinormation and learningmaterials. I students are not

well-disciplined, notebookcomputers will act as a kind odistraction. Students will thenbe able to sur the Internetor even play computer gamesduring lessons which will de-nitely not help them learn. Ina huge class having sometimesmore than orty students, it isalmost impossible or teachersto make sure that everyoneis doing what he is supposed

to do. It can be clearly seenthat having such a distractionduring lessons will not benetstudents.

In addition, can everysingle student aord a note-book computer? It is oneo the major concerns that

the school should take intoserious consideration. It willcreate a dicult issue or ourschool i not all the studentshave a notebook computer.In this situation, students willbe learning English duringlessons either with or withoutnotebook computers. each-ers will have to create learn-ing materials or those withand those without computer

access. Tis may hinder thelearning progress o somestudents when they receivedierent inormation. Te dis-crepancy in learning materialsmay cause an adverse eect onstudents learning.

Some may argue that note-

book computers provide bet-ter access to inormation andto a large variety o learningmaterials that students shouldbe able to benet rom. How-ever, the increasing depend-ence on notebook computersto learn English in lessons willreduce interactions betweenteachers and students to acertain degree. Te learningo English depends greatly on

speaking the langucomputer learningace conversations will be reduced whdoubt will hinder sprogress.

All in all, with nocomputers acting a

tion, together withlike discrepancy inmaterials and redutions, I believe thatshould not allow oto bring notebook to school.

Yours sincerely,Chris Wong

Battle of the Century By Junior Reporter, Timothy Yu 1Y and edited by Junior Sports Editor, JamesClass 1K deeated Class1C by three goals to one inthe schools soccer PremierLeague heat on January 19th.

Only seven seconds aferthe start o the match, KelvinLuk rom 1K, assisted by Ga-

briel Sa, scored by swiping theball into the right-hand cornero the goal. 1C tried very hardto strike back as they didnot want to disappoint theirclassmates. However, 1K per-ormed well on deending.

Some time later, Luk shotrom the right side but the 1Cdeenders did their job. Teball bounced back to Luk andhe made another attempt. Te1C goalkeeper managed tograb the ball.

1C attacked and created a

lot o great chances to equal-ize when they got a ree kick.Brian Li took the shot. Te

ball went up and swoopeddown towards the goal. Tom-as Seto, goalkeeper rom 1Kreacted but ailed to save it asthe ball was too ast. It was abeautiul shot. Te ans o 1Cshouted happily.

Undoubtedly, 1K wanted towin the match too. Luk tookthe ball to the right side o thepenalty area again and quicklypassed it to Sa. Sa, alreadychased by deenders, calmlypassed the ball back to Luk,who shot it right away, butLouis am, the goalkeeper o1C, caught it saely!

Luk created a lot o chancesbut Jimmy ang, deenderrom 1C, kept marking andchasing afer him. Every timewhen Luk ran with the ball,

ang, with alertness, kickedthe ball out o sight withpower. Still, Luk was aster

than ang.Edison Chan, deender

rom 1C, was later given ayellow card or pushing Lukwhile he was running.

1C had a antastic chance atthe beginning o the second

hal. Tere was a long passrom the back and Brian Litook the ball and shot but wasblocked by Oscar ong.

1K quickly took revenge.Sa sprinted like Rooney tothe right and although manydeenders were afer him, hewas not aected. He made abeautiul shot but it hit thepost. Te ball landed on Luk'seet, just beore the white linein ront o the goal, and Lukshot. Louis am couldn't reactto it. Adrian Lui, who was at

the back, dribbled all the wayto the penalty area but lost itin the end. Lui was apparantly

quite a good dribbler though.As the match was about to

end, Sa ran to the right, butLui, in deense now, madea perect slide tackle. Sa wasnimble enough to leap overLui and passed the ball to Luk

at the same time. Luk shot andthe ball just went across am'sarm and went into the net.Tis was surely the winninggoal and Luk became the hat-trick hero.

Although 1Cmade two substi-tutions at hal-time, it did nothelp much. Sin KaYin and Jason Le-ung showed goodpassing skills butthe possession

and dribblingwere indeed amess.

1C knew that thelost the match but to score one more gdribbled, and shot a long distance, butSeto kicked it away

Philips University is locatedin the southern outskirts oa small town called Philips,which was rst set up by set-tlers about 150 years ago.

When I rst came as areshman to Philips Univer-sity, I was quite lonely. I wasnever popular and the ewriends I had all opted to gainsome work experience beorestudying in university.

I shared my dormitory witha young chap called JeremiahKeene. Trough the longmonths o our stay, we becamegood riends. I knew himto be an academically bril-liant student, a chess master,somewhat o a ladies manand above all a man whopossessed truly remarkableintelligence.

My ather was a pilot whodied when his plane suered astructural ailure. My motherdied o a heart attack soonaerwards. I inherited her car-diac disorder and was restrict-ed to activities that wouldntput too much a strain on myheart. My only blood relativewas my aunt, who lived withmy uncle in Philips.

During my second yearin the university, I receivedsad news rom my aunt. Myuncle had died in his sleep.

Tis wasnt much o a surprisebecause he had been suer-ing rom depression lately.It turned out that he had lemost o his ortune to me,leaving absolutely nothingto my poor aunt. I knew thattheir relationship had beendeteriorating but I never knewhe would be so mean to her.

My uncle was a doctor whohad long retired. However, he

still received occasional visitsrom his childhood riend,Burton. I was always quiteond o my uncle. When Iwas little, he was almost like aather to me.

Te police ound a bottlecontaining sleeping pills anda letter in his desk drawer. Inthe letter, he revealed that hehad been waging a painulbattle against cancer when henally gave up and took hisown lie. Clenched in his handwas a note saying, Sorry.

My riend, Jeremiah,seemed interested in this. Heasked me, Wasnt your unclea proud person who kept hisillness secret? Why would hesuddenly blurt it all out?

I answered, Why ask me?Youre the one studying Psy-chology, not me.

You know, I continued,people can act in strange

ways beore they die. He didnot respond to this except athoughtul nod.

I ripped open a small pack-age rom my aunt. Attachedto it was a note that read, Ihope that this will help youovercome the shock. It was abox o chocolates. It seemedstrange. She lived extravagant-ly hersel but was a miser toothers. I got my mobile phone

out to send a text message tothank her.

My riend grabbed hold omy phone quite brusquely.

Is this new? he inquiredeagerly.

Yes, I got it rom my uncle,I answered, quite disconcert-ed, he said that I had alwaysbeen a an o iPhones so Imight as well have it.

Really? he asked, deeplyin thought. Tis shows thathe had planned his suicide.Why else would he give away

such an expensive mobilephone in so sudden a man-ner. He pried o the case othe iPhone and asked, Now,what do you nd strangeabout this iPhone?

I exclaimed, Why, its awonder its still working! Tecase was without a scratch butits interior was scarred.

Yes, he replied. Tis

coincides with his personality.He was more concerned withappearances than anythingelse. I he was indeed such aproud man, why let everyoneknow?

I absently popped a piece ochocolate into my mouth. Inan instant, he had knocked medown. Spit it out! he yelled.He violently jerked the pieceo chocolate out and le me

spluttering and coughing. Hepointed at it and said, Lookat this. He cracked it open.Tere were tiny white solids inthe chocolate.

What does this mean? Iasked.

I think that your aunt oundout she was entitled to noth-ing in his will. Your uncle,knowing well she mightmodiy the will, entrusted itto a close riend, most likelyhis riend, Burton. Your aunt,who lived luxuriously, hadincurred a considerable debt.Desperate or money, sheplanned your uncles murder.

Sammy was sitting on theMR happily listening to his

iPod. Te train was in the tun-nel close to Yau Ma ei stationwhen it suddenly stopped.

Te sudden decelerationo the train made most o theunlucky passengers lose theirbalance. Sammy, the luckyone, was sitting so he did notlose his balance and all to theground.

Whats going on? he won-dered.

Te passengers started mur-muring uncomortably. Teywere worried, as last years

blackout in the whole MRsystem made them trapped inthe trains or hours.

Luckily, the lights on thetrain were still on. Sammydecided to walk to the traindrivers cab to ask what wasreally happening, shovingpeople around as he walkedtowards the rst carriage.

When he arrived, a crowdhad already gathered there.

Open the door! Some-body banged on the doorto the drivers cab. Nobody

answered.Te passengers were getting

angry now. wenty minutespassed, and they still didnt getan announcement about theincident.

Finally, one o the passen-gers, a burly man, stepped upand kicked the drivers dooropen.

A ew brave people, includ-ing Sammy, walked inside.

Sammy glanced at hiswatch. It was already 8:45 am.He was already late or school.

Id better beat up the traindriver, seeing as he landed mein detention or lateness.

o everyones surprise,there was nobody in the cab.Te emergency door leadingoutside the train was alreadyopened.

Te driver has done abunk, Sammy thought.

He pondered the whole

thought in his head. Whywould the driver escape? Hissixth sense told him that some

sort o danger was lurkingnearby.

Sammy took out his torch,and shone it out o the train.

People gasped and moanedbehind him. Not ar awayrom them, ten eet at most,was the train driver, lying ina puddle o water. He wastwitching madly. Te powercable had snapped, and oneend was immersed in the pud-dle. Te train driver had beenelectrocuted.

Worst still, the puddle o

water, coming rom a brokenpipe, was seeping towards themetallic MR train. Sammycould see sparks o electricityying rom the puddle.

Tere was only one solu-tion. Run! Run! Sammyyelled at the top o his lungs.

Everybody started to panic,and joined Sammy running.

Sammy ran to the eighth

carriage and yanked open theemergency door. He ran at ullspeed towards Mong Kok Sta-

tion, with the crowd behindhis back.

He took out his iPhone, andto his relie, the phone signalwas still strong. He phoned999, Help, emergency! Wateris leaking in the MR tun-nels near Yau Ma ei Station,please send help immedi-ately!

Suddenly, he heard waterushing behind him. Appar-ently the high voltage electric-ity had broken the drainagepipes.

Sammy was petried. Tewater, seeping with electric-ity, would hit him in twentyseconds. What should he do?

As i on cue, he saw a hugeswitch mounted on the tun-nel wall. Te label on it saidWarning: high voltage andthe most important wordsEmergency circuit breaker.

Tere was a loud piercingscreeching sound as the traincame to a halt.

Sammy looked up rom hisiPod and rowned. He noticeda ew passengers were glanc-ing around but most o thepeople in the compartmentdidnt take any notice. Teyassumed everything would beback to normal a ew mo-ments later. Businessmencontinued poking their smartphones, the elderly continuedreading their Apple Daily,

school kids continued talk-ing loudly. No one was reallyconcerned about the train.

While waiting or the trainto start moving again, Sammycontinued listening to hisiPod. Scrolling through the listo albums, he selected Adeles21, his avorite album.

Ten there was an an-nouncement rom the loud-speaker. It was the conductoro the train. Attention, pas-sengers. We have just oundsome technical problems in

the train. We are now xingthe aults as quickly as wecan. Please stay calm and bealert. We assume the train willrestart in 10 minutes. I repeat,10 minutes. Tank you oryour attention. Tere was aclick and the announcementended short ly.

People roze. Some pock-eted their Blackberrys andwaited. Sammy heard a wom-an in her ies complainingloudly. What? 10 minutes? Iam now rushing back hometo catch my avorite soapopera, Desperate Housewives!Tose useless MR engineers,they always cause trouble andinconvenience to the public.Tose nitwits

Some agreed and joinedin the conversation, protest-ing about the MR. Sammy

rolled his eyes and turned thevolume up. Adeles Rolling inthe Deep was now playing.Ignoring their conversation,he decided to write aboutthe incident happening right

then on witter. He messagedhis riend on Whatsapp andplayed Doodle Jump.

While Sammy reached hishi-score, the air condition-ers went o. Tere was morecommotion rom that point.Many people broke into con-versations. Many people wereenraged and started yellingloudly. An athlete opened theemergency windows to keepthe air resh.

Sammy heard a at boyexpressing to his parents,Boy, I surely want to get outo here now! He then threw atantrum, and his parents com-orted him by saying that theywould take him to Pizza Hutand buy him the latest FinalFantasy game or him.

Kids are spoiled nowa-days. Sammy thought, his

It was getting hotterand hotter in the com-partment. People tooko their jackets and

It should have been a calmevening. Te moon washanging lazily in the dark sky,barely visible behind the cur-tain o the usual thick smog inHong Kong. Some wild dogs

were barking soly, urgingtheir young to return home.

It was not audible insidethe apartment o the Chans,where an usual argument isturning physical.

Mr Chan suddenly chargedat his wie, stabbing the knieright into Mrs Chans chest.She was bewildered, unable

to believe her husband wouldactually do this. Mr Chan wasjust as shocked, because hedid not mean to stab his wie.His muscles just acted on their

own will. Te knie pen-etrated layers o esh into thewomans heart. Blood startedto seep through the thin layerso abric. Teir children, whohad been sitting silently at thetable and witnessing the wholetime, unable to bit their lipsany longer, cried aloud.

Untold Secrets By Junior Reporter, Ken Sun 1YMy name is Kenneth. I ama proessional hacker. I like tohack into les where the mili-tary and governments placetheir top secrets and sell themto the public to earn a living.Recently, I hacked into theles o the Italian government.

I ound out somethingthat could change the wholeworld. Recently, a gigantic

erry named Costa Concordiawas stranded on a shallowree when her captain tried todrive her near the shore orthe passengers to see a spec-tacular view o the coast.

What I ound out was thatthere was a whole new ver-sion o what happened to thaterry. Te Italian governmentand the captain claim that

she had crashed into a shal-low ree, but in the les, it wassomething very dierent.

Te Italian governmentinterviewed a survivor namedJohn, and rom what he said,he was dining in the dininghall with his amily when henoticed a suspicious lookingman carrying a heavy suitcasewalking quickly towards the

engine room. John then tolda sta member o the shippresent nearby about the man.Te crew member acknowl-edged his presence and seto to the engine room, with ahand in his pocket.

John ollowed the crewmember, curious about whatwould happen. He saw himopen the door o the engineroom, then slip in. John

ollowed. John immediatelyducked behind a boiler justin case someone saw him. Henoticed the man pulling outa gun when he heard a loudbang. John thought that it wasthe crew shooting at someone,but instead the crew collapsedinto a pool o blood. Te manwas dead. John remainedwhere he was, just in case the

murderer saw him and didhim in too, then he heard aeven louder bang, then rivetswere ying in every direction.Te engine room was explod-ing, John reckoned it was thatman with the suitcase thathad made it, no doubt with abomb.

John dashed or the exit,desperate to make it out othe engine room, and luckily

managed it just as the reballenguled everything else. Heslammed the door shut, andbegan running with all hismight towards the emergencyexit while yelling, Run! Anexplosion! Te captain o theship must have noticed theships engine wasnt respond-ing, so he abandoned his ship.

Entertainment

Mission Impossible: GhostProtocol is essentially a

letdown.In this ourth instalment

o the Mission: Impossibleseries, Impossible MissionsForce (IMF) agent Ethan Hunt(om Cruise) and his team arealleged to have bombed theKremlin, leading to the activa-tion o the Ghost Protocol, acontingency plan to disavowthe entire IMF. Hunt and histeam, together with the IMFchie analyst William Brandt(Jeremy Renner), go on toprevent the Russian nuclear

strategist Kurt Hendricks (Mi-chael Nyqvist) rom triggeringa global nuclear war.

First o all, the plot itselis illogical at some points.Te Kremlin being blownup seems impossible even in

Mission: Impossible. In ad-dition, Hunt and his team cancasually destroy cars, breakwindows o the Burj Khaliaand kill people even withoutthe backup o the IMF as a

result o Ghost Protocol. Teymake no eort at all to avoidleaving or to cover up thetraces o their missions.

Second, it is astounding tosee how the IMF dey science.Tere are a number o timeswhen an IMF agent survivesagainst nature, or example,aer jumping rom a height.Once, Hunt ees rom avehicle travelling at breakneckspeed just the moment beoreit crashes into Hendricks car,and instead o being ung a

considerable distance or-wards, Hunt hardly moves aninch and is unhurt.

Furthermore, as in Mis-sion: Impossible III, theswitching o countries romRussia to Dubai to Indiaand to the United States isbarely necessary. It would notbe a problem at all i every-thing happened in one singlecountry, or two Russia andAmerica. Also, it is unbeliev-able that Apple products likeMacBooks and iPhones are

reliable enough or Americanspying activities. I suspect thatit is product placement.

Nonetheless, Ghost Proto-col is not completely worth-less. Te acrobatics will surelyamaze you i you are into

them. Mission: Impossible,aer all, is an action lm. Inthis installment, the actionsare more human. Hunt andhis ellow agents no longer ap-pear invincible, nearly ailing

in some acts.Humanity is seen not onlyin the action, but also in theagents eelings. In other spymovies, spies are generallydepicted as ree o emotions.Romantic love is oen consid-ered a hindrance to spies orjust a means to complete thetask. But in Ghost Protocol,true love exists between Cart-er and agent revor Hanaway(Josh Holloway), and betweenHunt and Julia Meade (Mi-chelle Monaghan). Brandt

also has conscience about hisailure to protect Meade.Another merit o the lm

is the comic eect brought bySimon Pegg, a comedian, whoplays Benji Dunn, the techni-cal eld ofcer in Hunts team.Te screenwriters, AndrNemec and Josh Appelbaum,apparently notice the overlylarge part that masks playedin previous lms. In GhostProtocol, Dunn makes un othat while masks play a muchsmaller part.

At the denouement, the lmhints at a Mission: ImpossibleV. In act, the series has beendeteriorating. Given the qual-ity o Ghost Protocol, oneshould not be very hopeulabout the next instalment.

Dream in Shabby Bui ld ings By Junior Reporter, Kings Cheung 2W

Who is your avourite artist?Leonardo da Vinci? Picasso?Or is it a local artist?

Tis winter, 260 artists rommore than 80 studios o paint-ings, sculptures, ceramics, and

multi-media works in Fotanopened their doors or publicvisitors. Teir studios becamegalleries, and the actories be-came crowded museums. Teartists not only displayed theirbest art works, but also theirhospitality. Tey are pleased tointroduce their art works andanswer visitors questions.

welve years ago, a smallgroup o artists rented the

aordable actories in Fotanas their art studios and calledthemselves Fotanians. Lateron, more and more artistsjoined the group o Fotani-ans. Since 2004, the Fotani-ans have opened their studios

to public every year becausethey want more people knowabout local art.

Among all art works, themost attractive one was theseries o tales by a localartist called Chan Ka Lok. Heused his imagination to ll inthe blanks in airy tales. Forexample, in a drawing aboutthe story o Frog Prince, he

depicted the scene o the rogcomb its hair in ront o amirror beore going to see theprincess. I think it is quite ahumorous scene; how could ahairless rog comb its hair?

Tis scene is not in the

original tale; it is out o theartists imagination.

Te same tale could havedierent versions among di-erent people. Even the plot oTe Emperors New Clotheswould be dierent betweenyou and I, Chan said, Ichose the most humorous andscenes that could induce myreections and sketched them

on paper. Some scenes areeven my imagination! I wantto express the sarcasm o theseairly tales.

Besides Fotan, Kwun ongis another place which usedto be an industrial hub rather

than an art village. Factorybuilidings in Fotan and Kwunong were deserted whenmanuacturerers in HongKong moved to Shenzhen inthe 1980s. Artists started topick these places up as therents were cheap and theycould meet other artists too.

Few would expect thesedirty actories to provide

artists with small stwell as dreams andpeople know that inow that they coultheir own eyes.

You Are the Apple of My EyeBy Junior Reporter, William Shu 3Y and edited by Senior Editor-In-Chief, Alister Wong 5S

Have you watched the lmYou Are the Apple o MyEye? It is a 2011 aiwaneselm about a teenage love storythat is ull o ardor, un andamusement.

Directed by aiwanesewriter Giddens Ko, the lm isbased on Kos lie experience.

Te lm starts with themain character Ko Ching-eng wearing his t ie and pre-paring to attend the weddingo the girl he loved in highschool. Ten the story goesback to 1994 when Ko and thegirl ell in love.

Aer high school, the twocharacters went to dierentuniversities, but Ching-engpersisted on making long-distance phone calls to heralmost every night. Backthen, people didnt use mobile

phone, but the long queues inront o the public telephonedid not stop him. An incidentset them apart. And a yearaer the separation, therewas a huge earthquake andonce Ching-eng got to a saeplace, the rst thing on his

mind was to ring Chia-Yi upto see i she was okay. On thatnight, the two chatted a loton the phone, and in the endChia-Yi asked Ching-eng ihe believed in parallel uni-verses and she said, Maybein that parallel world, we aretogether.

Te lm is also very amus-ing. Tere are lots o unnyscenes, such as the scenes oChing-engs home and am-ily. Although it is quite strangeto see people naked at home,

it is undoubtedly a clever plotidea.

Te actors and actressesperormed well. My avouritecharacter is Ko Ching-eng,played by Kai Ko, a 20-year-old aiwanese actor. In thestory, he acts as an ardent andcondent boy with childishbehavior. He perormed the

role in a lively way and hasperectly used into the char-acter. Tough it was his rsttime to be the protagonist in alm, he played his part in thewhole lm perectly. Whetherthe scenes required him to becomedic, suave, he managedto ace most o them. Like KaiKo, the actress Michelle Chanhas also become one o themost popular gures last yearin aiwan, Hong Kong, andwherever the lm was shown.

Released in Hong Kong on

October 20th, 2011, the lmhas broken the box-ofce re-

cord o aiwanese lms shownin Hong Kong. Te themesong became an instant hittoo. Te ofcial music videoon the video-sharing websiteYoutube logged 20 millionviewers and it was also nomi-nated as Best Original Film

Soundtrack award at the 48thGolden Horse Awards.

Beore lapping it with morepraise, this movie isnt with-out aults. Some jokes andgags missed the plot entirely.At times, the movie can getrather crude, long winded andeven tedious.

You are the Apple o MyEye is likely to emerge asthe best movie o 2011 orme. I I need to sum up whythis movie worked or me, itwould be because this movie

Carbon FeatureNew Material to Snatch CO2By Senior Reporter, Matthew Chan 5K

Scientists have ound a newsolution to global warming.

Every now and then, youhear environmentalists screamthat we must cut our carbondioxide (CO2) emissionsbeore polar ice melts andthe resulting ood destroys

our coastal cities. Indeed, theamount o carbon dioxideemitted has risen over thelast decades, causing naturalanomalies around the globe.

echnologies currentlyemployed to tackle the abun-dance o CO2 have limita-tions. Carbon Capture andStorage (CCS), or instance,collects CO2 rom large ossiluel power plants but not oureveryday lie or other scat-tered sources. Furthermore, toregenerate the greenhouse gas

rom the substances we are us-ing now needs high energy.

Amine and polyaminebased compounds have beenwidely used to absorb CO2, buttheir inability to unction inhumid conditions, like in reallie, is problematic.

Another method, geoen-

gineering, might destroy theood chain or cause unwanteddisruptions such as volcanicactivities.

Recently, a discovery castnew light on the removal oCO2. Te Journal o AmericanChemical Society announcedon November 21, 2011 that agroup o scientists rom theUniversity o Southern Cali-ornia, including the Nobellaureate George A. Olah, haddiscovered a new materialbased on polyethylenimine

(or simply known as PEI), anorganic compound containingamino group. It can be used tocapture carbon dioxide romthe chimneys o large acto-ries, exhaust pipes, even placeswith low CO2 concentration.Tey also ound that this newsubstance has the highest CO2

direct removal rates among allknown materials ever tested inthe presence o humidity.

Another advantage o thesubstance is that it is alsoreusable. Aer capturingcarbon, the material has thecapability to give it up easilyunder certain circumstances(e.g. heat the mixture up to85 degrees Celsius). It meansthat we can use it again andagain to capture more carbondioxide without the concernabout specic sites to deal

with the waste. Furthermore,PEI is relatively cheap andreadily available, so its ahighly cost-eective mate-rial. I this substance can bemass-produced and installedin chimneys and the exhaustpipes o our cars, we can e-ectively eliminate hal o the

total carbon dioxide emissionscaused by our daily activities.Tis may resolve the ongoingargument between nations inworld congresses regardingemissions reduction targets.

hematite, which contains iron,requires coal or renery. Techemical reactions are shownas below:Fe3O4 (s) + 2C(s) ->3Fe(s) + 2CO2 (g) orFe3O4 (s) + 4C(s) ->6.______________________

Both reactions require heat.Te carbon used in the reac-tion reduces the Iron (II, III)oxide to metal iron, with itseloxidizes to orm carbon diox-ide or carbon monoxide.Crude oil products

Crude oil is black liquidcontaining hydrocarbonswith dierent molar mass (aphysical property). Tey areobtained through oil drillingand reneries. As dierenthydrocarbons have dierentboiling and melting points,they can be separated through7.______.

Gaseous hydrocarbons suchas methane (CH4) and butane

(C4H10) are used as uel gas orcooking and transportation.Pentane (C5H12) can be com-pressed into liquid or manu-acturing lighters. Heavierhydrocarbons such as octane(C8H18) serve as 8._____ orprivate cars. Lorries, erriesand planes use diesel oil whichcontain much heavier hydro-carbons. Te heaviest hydro-carbons, containing more

than twenty carbon atoms in amolecule, are used or mak-ing lubricating oil, wax, andbitumen (the material used orroad suracing).

Hydrocarbons like alkenescan be used to produce plas-tics. For example, ethene isused to produce 9.______, thecommon constituent o plasticshopping bags.

Furthermore, other carboncompounds ound in petro-leum can be used to makemedicine and antibiotics or

Apart rom making pen-cils, graphite can be used asconductors under extremeconditions.

Graphite is an allotrope (astructually diernt orm oan element) o carbon whichhas several layers o carbonnetworks with each layerhaving the shape o a hon-

eycomb. Every carbon atomis covalently bonded with10._____ other carbon atoms.Tereore, one electron is lein each layer o graphite and isree to move among the layers.With such delocalized elec-trons, graphite can conductelectricity.

Graphite has a high meltingpoint and is resistant to acidsso that it can serve as a proper

C m e t rSOPA protest: The Blackout By Junior Reporter Felix Tsai 2C and edited by Senior Editor Jonathan

January 18 was a miser-able day or many universitystudents who had papers duesoon. Wikipedia, the user-generated Encyclopedia hadblacked out its English siteor a protest against two USCongress copyright bills - StopOnline Piracy Act (SOPA) andthe PROEC IP Act (PIPA).

According to Wikipedia,162 million people viewedits blackout page, 7 millionsigned Googles petition andabout 3 million SOPA related

tweets were sent out on wit-ter.

Originally, the bills wouldbe voted on January 24, buttwo days aer the blackout,the U.S. house representativeLamar Smith, who introducedSOPA October last year,dropped the proposal, hencethe victory o the Internetworld.

Behind the bills are theappeals by movie studiosand other media companies.Tinking o the millions o

websites providing ree mov-ies and dramas downloading,its not hard to understandtheir move. But why the in-ternet companies like Googleand Wikipedia step in andprotest?

SOPA and PIPA are twosimilar bills aimed at pun-ishing websites providingcopyright inringed contents

by giving the US governmentrights to orce shut-down or tocut o the involved websitesadvertising. Internet compa-nies argued that its merely im-

possible to monitor and asureall users posts are genuine,and i they do so, no one willexpress their opinions online.It threatens the reedom ospeech.

Interestingly, in the sameweek o the public protest,Megaupload, one o the mostamous internet locker whichallows ree uploading ordownloading o movies, musicand V shows, was seized bythe US Department o Justiceor copyright inringement.

Te companys our executiveswere arrested in the ounderKim Dotcoms luxury man-sion in New Zealand the nextday. Kim Dotcom (a.k.a. KimSchmitz) and nicknamedDr. Evil, and other partnersare accused o causing $500million in copyright inringe-ment. Te jury got evidencerom the companys employ-

ees correspondence whichshows they are aware o thecopyright violation.

Te government shouldkeep the good practice o tak-

ing down rampant sites likeMegaupload but should clariytheir ultimate purpose insteado hindering the reedom ointernet.

Te Internet should be aree not controlled platorm. Itis inevitable to reer to copy-righted contents, but i theauthor is quoted clearly andhonestly, and the use is out ogood causes, not or individu-als to make money, it shouldbe understandable. Everyinternet user should be care-

ul while posting or gettinginormation online. We cantviolate the law just because itseasy to.

Tis protest has also provenhow powerul the unitedinternet world can be, and itis also a good lesson or bothsides - the government andinternet companies on cor-poration and mutual under-

standing.

Should We Use Nuclear Power ? By Senior Reporter, Matthew Fung 6Y

Dear opponents, teachersand adjudicators,

Nuclear power is oendiscussed when we talk aboututure energy source in soci-ety. Many people claim that itis our nal solution to energyshortage. Te motion is Nu-clear Power is the best sourceo energy or the uture. Ourteam strongly opposes themotion today.

Te argument o nuclear-energy activists always lies

on the saety o using nuclearpower. Tey oen claim thatvarious processes are strictlymanaged and emphasize howlow the possibilities are or thenuclear plants to become outo control. Yet, history never

lies. It is clear that nuclearaccidents have happened romtime to time rom the case inRussia in late 70s to the onein Japan just a ew monthsago. Evidence has shownthat accidents are unpre-dictable and whats worse,there are always catastrophicconsequences aerwards.For example, nuclear plantscontain a large amount oradioactive substances. Teyare very dense and reactive. Iexploded, according to biolo-

gists in London, these harmulradioactive substances willenter our body and graduallyaccumulate along the oodchain. Our opponents seemto have underestimated thedamage nuclear leaks wouldbring about. NO to mention

retardation o human beingsand neurone-related cancers,do you think our lives shouldbe outweighed by the demandor nuclear energy?

In addition to the possibledisaster nuclear plants mightbring, the use o nuclearenergy also exerts an adverseinfuence on our uture. Ouruture depends on sustain-able development, which isall about providing resourcesor our next generations. oachieve this goal, all risks

should be lowered in a bid tominimize the potential harm-ul eect to the Earth romsocial development. Cur-rently, a number o renewableenergy resources are available.Sunlight and wind are goodresources to generate electric-

ity. Why do we have to jeop-ardize ourselves when thereare better eco-riendly alter-natives? Germany, in theirannual conerence in 2006,had even banned the proposalto build more nuclear plantsand planned to demolish thecurrent plants in the country.Tus, we can analyze thatnuclear power is never thebest way to solve the energyproblem.

Some may argue that com-pared to other energy resourc-

es, nuclear power is the cheap-est and the most cost eectiveone. However, I would say itis a paradox to suggest usingnuclear power is o low price.Tey may have orgotten thata large amount o money willhave to be spent to maintain

normal unctioningplants, regardless otechnologies involvexpenditure is an acal value and couldused on other globissues like deorestaglobal warming.

By and large, onenot be the best choisnt able to satisy oand requirements. power has been proan unwise choice abe replaced with th

conductive to our eneeds or the uturon the arguments ohas made, the motishould not stand.(Tis article is rompaper.)

Travelling

A Visit to Belgium and a Friend By Junior Reporter, Herman Lam 3W

In the last weekend o Janu-ary, I travelled to Belgium.

I was accompanied bythree Belgian girls duringmy journey. One o them ismy pal Elise, whom I met inSan Diego last summer. Shebrought her sister, Hester andher riend alitha, whom Ialso met last summer.

I arrived in Brussels-NorthStation the early morning oJanuary 28th. Te train was ontime and I enjoyed a beauti-ul sunrise when I was cross-ing the border rom Holland.My riends were a bit late butthey managed to meet me 20minutes aer I arrived. Terst riend I recognized was,o course, Elise, whom I hadbeen writing to.

Our train arrived at Bru-ges, the Venice o the North(or the West), at noon. Elise

suggested having lunch intown rst. Te rst meal Ihad in Belgium was a typicalBelgian meal: mussels! It wasan awesome lunch but I oundit really hard to ollow all thedining etiquette.

Ten, we toured aroundthe town and saw many oldbuildings. I recognized someo them with the eatures oGreco-Roman civilization:

domes and columns. Brugeswas a amous port in Belgiumdating back to the Renais-sance. But the canals werebecoming shallower and shal-lower so tanks could no longerpass through, making Brugesbe replaced by Antwerp as aport city.

Walking around Bruges ona comortable Saturday aer-noon, I noticed the beautiulold architecture. It was old,very old. Every bit o it mademe eel like I was in the 14thcentury.

Aer watching the sunsetin the town, we headed backto the train station. I was sosurprised yet pleased whenElise asked me i Id like tohave dinner at her home. Eliseand Hester, live in Hombeek,a small town near Mechelen.Te Mechelen region is thevegetable region o Belgium.

We arrived in Hombeekat around eight in the even-ing. Everyone was so riendly.Elises ather, Mr Droste,oered to take me or a drive.Her mother, Mrs Droste,cooked a three-course dinneror me. I just elt as i I wereat home. Although it was verycold outside, I was warmedby the welcoming atmosphere

they had created.Te dinner was a simple

but traditional one, which Ienjoyed very much. Te soupwas made o homegrownvegetables. It was very deli-cious and the vegetables wereso resh. Ten, the maincourse was boiled cauliower,served with traditional riedsausages and boiled potatoes.Again, it was a very good dishgiven that the vegetables werelocally and organically grown.For dessert, I was so greedythat I took one o each avouro the ice cream: vanilla andmocha.

Te Droste amily is veryriendly. Even though wehadnt met beore, they treatedme like a guest o honour.Tey gave me the impressionthat Belgian people are allvery nice.

Te next day saw me inAntwerp, the largest port inBelgium. As it was a Sundaymorning, we toured aroundthe morning market in thecity. Tere were all sorts othings, like clothing, choco-late, wafes, antiques, reshood, cheese, wine and muchmore. You can nd anythingyou want there. I bought somechocolate and enjoyed wa-

es. I shared a Brussels wafeand a Liege wafe with Elise.Aer that, we headed straightto the riverside and enjoyedthe breeze.

I brought Elise and Hes-ter to a Chinese restaurant.I taught them how to use

chopsticks. Elise seemed tohave mastered it very well,but Hester still needed somepractice. Teir enthusiasm inlearning Chinese culture wasamazing. I ended up teachingthem the name o every dishon the menu. We enjoyed thedim sum very much.

It was time to say goodbye to Elise but I continued

my journey with HMechelen. We simparound the city andTe city was so quiSunday aernoon ashops were closed.regret skipping Bruinstead I was grate
