14．Best High School Band Plays Turner Field
The North Cobb High School Band routinely takes the field every Friday night during football season．The band plays at North Cobb football games．
This week，the band had to get ready a little earlier in the week．That's because they played before the Atlanta Braves baseball game at Turner Field．
North Cobb won wsbtv．com's Best High School Band Tournament （錦標(biāo)賽） last season．The prize for winning was a chance to play on the field at Turner Field before a Major League Baseball game．Tuesday night，the band collected the prize．
"We were excited，"North Cobb High School Band drum major Madison Hall said．"Growing up in Atlanta，the Braves have always been such a famous figure in Atlanta，so we were really exited to have the opportunity to perform in front of a lot of people and in front of our community．"
The tournament featured 64high school bands from across Georgia．Wsbtv．com users determined the top four bands through voting with the Atlanta Braves entertainment staff selecting the winner from the final four．They selected North Cobb．
"We have a number of great students at North Cobb，"director Greg Williams said．
"We've got the best parents in the world，"he said．"The kids are so amazing，they are really bright，talented，and they work hard．They do anything we ask them to do and I really think that's a lot of keys to our success．"
Under the leadership of Williams and assistant band director Scott Pannell，the band made its way onto the outfield grass just as Atlanta Braves catcher Brian McCann was warming up．
"It was amazing，"said Pannell．"Just going out in the tunnel and going into the stadium．And just looking at the Braves players on the left and seeing them over by our kids，it's just unbelievable．"
The Atlanta Braves have once again partnered with wsbtv．com to reward this year's winner of the Best High School Band Tournament a chance to play at Turner Field．

19．Nearly everyone is shy in some ways．If shyness is making you uncomfortable，it may be time for a few lessons in self-confidence．You can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists．
Make a decision not to hold back in conversations．What you have to say is just as important as what other people say．And don't turn down party invitations just because of your shyness．
Prepare yourself for being with others in groups．Make a list of the good qualities you have．Then make a list of ideas，experiences，and skills you would like to share with other people．Think about what you would like to say in advance．Then say it．
If you start feeling self-conscious in a group，take a deep breath and focus your attention on other people．Remember，you are not alone．Other people are concerned about the impression they are making，too．
No one ever gets over being shy completely，but most people do learn to live with their shyness．Even entertainers admit that they often feel shy．They work at fighting their shy feelings so that they can face the cameras and the public．Just making the effort to control shyness can have many rewards．But perhaps the best reason to fight shyness is to give other people a chance to know more about you．

3．Gingerbread Houses：A Popular，Classic Holiday Treat
You can cook with it．You can make candy from it．You can put it into drinks or take it as medicine．Ginger has many uses，but none as beautiful as when it is used in a gingerbread house．
Past and present
Ginger-he key part of gingerbread and the houses themselves-has a long history．It is believed that ginger was used as early as 2，000 B．C．in China．Gingerbread houses were first written about during the 15th century．But it was the 19'th century fairy tale"Hansel and Gretel"that started the trend．As European immigrants made their way around the world，so did gingerbread houses!
One example occurred in the town of Belleville in the 1850s．As large numbers of German immigrants moved there，many brought along their gingerbread house recipes．Today，during the holidays，Belleville hosts a"Gingerbread Walk"through its downtown area．Along the path，shop owners display beautifully-made gingerbread houses and other gingerbread creations．The event allows visitors and locals alike to enjoy Belleville's tastiest tradition．
The world's largest
In 2006，Roger Pelcher constructed the world's largest gingerbread house in Bloomington，Minn．Measuring over 60 feet tall，the house took Pelcher's team l，700 hours to complete．To achieve the world record，Guinness World Records said 95 percent of the outside had to be eatable．So Pelcher used 14，250 pounds of gingerbread and over a ton of candy on the house!
Winning houses
At Christmas time，people from Sweden to Seattle enter their creations in gingerbread house contests．Winners receive prizes for the most difficult to build，most creative，most beautiful as well as other categories．But winning contests isn't the main reason why making these houses is so popular．The wonderful smell as the gingerbread bakes and the joy of eating it are the real reasons！
DIY
Online directions and ready-to-assemble kits make creating gingerbread houses easier than ever before．You can make them as simple or as complex as you choose，Experience a"taste"of the holidays with your own gingerbread house this year!

46..What makes gingerbread houses so popular？C

4．Winter weather has returned to northern areas of the world．In much of the United States，winter means the return of snow．
Snow is a form of frozen water．It contains many groups of very small ice particles （顆粒）called snow crystals（晶體）．These crystals grow from water particles in cold clouds．They usually grow around a piece of dust．All snow crystals have six sides，but they grow in different shapes．The shape depends mainly on the temperature and water levels in the air．The shape of a snow crystal may change from one form to another as the crystal passes through levels of air with different temperatures．Snow contains much less water than rain．About 75 cm of snow has as much water as 2.5cm of rain．
Generally，the color of snow and ice appears white．This is because the light we see from the sun is white．Most natural materials take in some sunlight．However，when light travels from air to snow，some light is sent back，or reflected（反射）．Snow crystals have many surfaces to reflect sunlight．It is this light that gives snow its white color．
Much of the water we use comes from snow．Melting（融化） snow gives water to rivers and crops．Snowfall helps to protect plants and some wild animals from the cold．Fresh snow is made largely of air which is kept among the snow crystals．Because the air has trouble moving，the movement of heat is greatly reduced．However，snow is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of people in the United States every year．Many people die in traffic accidents on roads that are covered with snow or ice．
