In February 2006, I flew into Beijing from Shanghai to watch a performance by Iceland’s Bjork and to interview her.

Some people find it difficult to   36   Bjork’s music.  Her sound is an acquired taste, but  37   you get into it, you’re hooked. After the   38   press conference, I was   39   to a room where we did a one-on-one   40   for radio. I was surprised at how intelligent and pleasant she was. And fun.

The   41   at Worker’s Stadium was unbelievably wonderful. Barefoot for most of the show, Bjork   42   the audience’s interest with her music and her spirit.

However, an incident gave me an impression that she was unusual and moody.

The next day I was invited to go to the Great Wall with a lot of   43   who were to take pictures of Bjork. She was with her son and did not seem to be in the   44   for the photographers. She stood and stared at the ground, not facing the   45  .

Then suddenly, she ran off to the   46  , out to her waiting bus, and sped back to Beijing. It was strange to see since she had been so   47   with the press a few days before.

After leaving Beijing, she went on to perform in Hong Kong and Thailand. In a story that   48   around the world, she jumped on and attacked a female reporter at the Bangkok airport who   49   said, “Welcome to Thailand!”

You may have seen her at the Academy Awards a few years ago when she   50   in that usual swan costume,   51   perhaps her performance of Oceania at the opening ceremony of the 2004 Greece Olympics. Bjork does demand attention.

She’s   52   a new album, Volta. She challenges us to enter her own world with every album, and this one is no   53   .

Working with a variety of producers, including Timbaland, she takes us into her music again with an artistic   54   . It is   55   to digest, but if you can appreciate her unusual efforts, you will have a lot to get into.

When Jeanne Calment entered the world in 1875, telephones and automobiles still lay in the future. Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso were not yet born. The Eiffel Tower was 14 years from being built. As a teenager, she met Vincent Van Gogh, near her home in Arles, in the south of France. He was “very ugly, ungracious (舉止粗俗的), impolite, sick—I forgive him, they called him loco (精神失常的)”, she recalled. When she died last week at age 122, she was the world’s eldest person. (There are others who claimed to the title, but only Calment had the official documents to prove her age.)
Each February 21, her birthday, she would share the secrets of long life. Some years it was “a sense of humour”, others it was “keeping busy”. “God must have forgotten me,” she once explained. The truth probably was that she had good genes: her mother reportedly lived to be 86 and her father 94.
Her life had its sadness: she outlived her husband, her only daughter and her grandson. According to a friend, she was imperturbable. “If you can’t do anything about it,” she reportedly said, “don’t worry about it.”
In her last years she was nearly blind and deaf, but her health remained good. She ate a few bars of chocolate each week and continued smoking until a few years ago, when she could no longer light her own cigarettes. She never lost her sense of humour. On her 110th birthday, she commented, “I’ve only ever had one wrinkle, and I’m sitting on it. “Her longevity made her famous; her spirit made her eternal (永恒的).

The meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it

usually means “one who offers his or her services”．Volunteers don’t expect any kind of pay．

Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means．She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa’s homes in Calcutta．The following is her story．

“I watched a video about her．I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that, after I graduated from a high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work．So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks．”

“I was asked to work in a home for sick people．I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch．I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer the up．I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them．To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very much．It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world．”
