PARIS: A Frenchman whose arms and legs were amputated swam across the English Channel this weekend using leg prostheses that flippers attached.

Phillippe Croizon, 42, had expected the tough crossing to take up to 24 hours and instead, he finished in only 13 and a half.

“I did it, I’m so happy, I can’t believe it, it’s crazy.” He said Saturday

Three dolphins joined him for a while. “We took that as a sign of good luck,” the swimmer’s father, Gerard Croizon, said.

Croizon set off from Folkestone on the British of the English Channel and arrived near the French town of Wissant.

Croizon’s truncated upper arms go through the motions of crawl, and he breathes through a snorkel.

He lost his arms and legs after suffering an electric shock in 1994 as he stood on a ladder adjusting his television antenna, which touched a power line.

The following text is for question 30 to 33

Today I’d like to tell you about the information of volcano. There are several active volcanoes in our country. Do you know the process of how a volcano forms?

A geologic theory called plate tectonics states that the Earth’s crust is broken into various rigid plates. Well, they float on the surface of the planet. Those plates move because of the intense pressure created underneath them by the movement of currents. They carry heat energy from the center of the planet to the surface. This pressure makes the plates move toward or away from each other and past each other in a horizontal motion. When a continental plate and an oceanic plate join or move toward each other, then volcanoes form on land near coastal areas. Because the oceanic plate is denser, it sinks beneath the surface. The extremely high temperatures and pressure melt the rock and turn it into hot floating magma. Next, it rises toward the surface and when the magma reaches the crust, it collects in a magma reservoir. It will be forced up ward through crack in the Earth’s crust when pressure inside the reservoir exceeds that of the overlying rock.

Nowadays, computers are widespread. They are useful, but they also have some bad effects, especially for children. As a computer application, the internet is very useful. There is more information on the internet than in the world’s biggest library.

Through the Internet people can get friends all over the world. Although they have never seen each other, they get to know each other well. They can send e-mails to each other. The computer is like a door to the world! Computer gamer are also great fun! They’re better than TV. On TV you can watch a space ship, but in a computer game you fly it!

On the contrary, computers have some bad effects. A lot of children spend too much time on the computer. They start playing and then they can’t stop. They don’t talk to anyone; they just sit and look at the computer for hours and hours. As we know, a lot of computer gamers are very bad. There is a lot of shooting and killing. These games are worse than TV. We can see bad things on TV, but in computer games we actually do bad things.

Personally, I think that computers are useful. However, we should use them wisely so that we can eliminate the bad effects.

It revolves around the hunt for one Alexander Pearce, who stole $2.3 billion from a mob boss. Both the authorities and gangsters after him, but he hasn’t been seen in years. Their only ling is the woman that he loves, Elise Clifton-Ward (Angelina Jolie). The police are following her, and the mobsters have their contacts within the authorities. Elise, after years waiting, is finally contacted be Alexander. She receives a note that tells her to take a train to Italy, and find someone that’s Alexander’s height and built, to throw off the people after him. On the train, Elise notice Frank Tupelo (Jonny Depp) sitting, reading a book and smoking a smokeless cigarette.

This works for a bit in Jolie’s favor, as it sees Elise is using Frank for her own personal gain. But you never notice where her feelings for Frank are supposed to start. And as for Depp as Frank the Tourist, it works best in small doses; his interaction with the police, hotel staff, and mobsters who think he’s this Alexander guy are entertaining.

Director Florian Hencel von Donnersmarck really does try here; on paper, there is nothing wrong with this movie. He makes use of Depp’s charisma as the naïve American tourist, and gets few laugh if result. The movie’s visual presentation is quite impressive. Taking us on tour of parts of Italy only the wealthy may see. The Tourist just proves that star power isn’t enough to make a good movie. When you lead the actor and actress have zero chemistry on screen, you try and divert the attention of your audience. Unfortunately, nothing in this movie works unless you believe there’s something between Jolie and Depp, which there clearly isn’t.
