This week I select a article about the violence erupted in South Africa.It's published on TIME MAGAZINE writen by Megan Lindow.The violence against immigrants in the townships around Sourth Africa's financial capital,Johannesburg ,continue ten days long.This incident is caused by some issues including immigrant and economic problem ( unemployments).We know that South Africa's neighbor,Zimbabwe,has a serious inflation
problem,many zimbabwean can not find a job and afford to pay the price,so they and some malawian migrant into those poor townships around Johannesburg.the mob accuse those immigrants of taking their job away,and
attack those immigrants.Know South Africa's goverment is facing a dilemma of accept those immigrants or not,because the president Thabo Mbeki had said that South Africa was not "an island separate from the rest of the continent."
And human right groups urged president Mbeki to consider using the military to restore order.In the end, I quote a zimbawean immigrant's comment about the violence for everybody to think,she said "South Africans have time to fight, but Zimbabweans only have time to work, because we are working to feed our children."

This week I select a article from National Geographic to write my reading journal.I think last book I select to read is too diffcult for me to read,
I can't really understand the mean of the book and read efficiently.So,I revise my plan to find the article from same magazines or newspapers to write
my reading journals.The topic of the article I select this week is "Alexander The Great's "Crown" Shield Discovered?"writen by Sara Goudarzi.
An ancient tomb thought to held the body of Alexander The Great's father philip II is actually that of Alexander's half brotheer.In 1977, the
archaeologists found out the three ancient royal Macedonian burials,the Tomb I is a sigle stone box containg human identified as mature male,a younger
female,and a newborn.The Tomb II is a large vaulted tomb with two chambers, contained a young woman and a mature male and remain some treasures including
some vessels,potterys,an iron helmet,and a ceremonial shieldand an object initially identified as a scepter.
Later,the archaeologists announced that the burial in the main chamber of the large rich tomb was that of Philip II,father of Alexander the Great,who
was assassinated in 336 B.C.But,their theory had been breaken today.some scientist found the new evidences to proof these treasures remain in the Tomb
II don't produce in Philip II's era,and the mature male laying in the chamber is Alexander's half brother,who had been Alexander The Great's successor.

I had started to read the novel "the curious incident of the dog in the night-time".I find there are some interesting factors in this story.It's writed by first-person narrative of Christopher ,just like he tells you his story in person.In the story,

Christopher explains why gives the chapters prime numbers,he say that prime numbers are like life.They are very logical but you chould never work out the rules,even if you spent all your time thinking about that.Actually,he likes thinking,but he cann't really understand others thinkings, he cann't understand abstract things.So,he likes science and maths,because they just need to think by oneself.I think he is a genius,a dreamer,a murder mystery novel writer.

"I don't ever use others writing"
