      World's Largest Ball of Paint
      Alexandria，Ind.
      In 1977，Michael Carmichael set out to create the biggest ball of paint anywhere.Starting with a baseball as the centre，he painted coat after coat of paint day after day，year after year.The ball weighs more than 1 ，300 pounds，with more than 20，000 coats of paint，which is recognised by Guinness World Records.Visitors can paint the ball themselves and become part of history.

      Mount Horeb Mustard Museum
      Mount Horeb，Wis.

• 2．Is looking fashionable more important than being comfortable？Many people seem to think so，judging （判斷） by the things they wear.But fashion is not everything.It is more important to be a healthy and good person.
     People go to great lengths to be fashionable.Some people think they have to have a certain body type，so they go on extreme，unhealthy diets in order to change their bodies.In addition，many women wear uncomfortable fashions，such as high-heeled shoes that cause pain to their feet，and tight body shapers that limit blood flow.Men and women alike spend time and money on products that change their natural hair color or hairstyle.Some people even spend several hours a day in front of a mirror.Is fashion so important that people spend so much time and effort changing what they look like？
     If the purpose of fashion is to make a person feel good，it does not make sense that he or she would go through so much discomfort to be fashionable.Fashion should not come first.People should put their health and positive image in the first place.What people wear does not say anything about their personalities.Instead of spending hours choosing a dress，perhaps you should call your friends and do something together，such as playing soccer or badminton.Instead of going on strict diets and forcing yourself to stay hungry，why not eat some healthy foods and then exercise？By doing these things，you can keep a healthy lifestyle and truly grow as a person.

      We are delighted to find that traditional crafts like paper cutting has been protected and inherited， or else we would lose such great treasure soon. It is the same valuable Chinese teachings like Confucianism.
      As far as I was concerned， some measures should be taken to effective protect traditional Chinese culture. To start with， we must arouse people's aware of cultural protection， for the more importance we attach， the less support we can get from the public.
