24、This year, Kris became the producer of The Rap of China again, and liked to use freestyle, skr -similar to "Ouch, great" and diss on the show and on his regular microblog to get more people to know the words. Hip-Hop music includes old school and new school. Kris is the leader of new school in China.
Do you like Hip-Hop? Hi-Hop is now very popular in the world. Hip-Hop is a new kind of music. Today, Hip-Hop music is a big business. Hip-Hop artists make millions of dollars. They are superstars and have many fans all over the world. But Hip-Hop wasn't always so popular. It is only about thirty years old. When Hip-Hop music first developed in the late 1970s, not many people knew about it. It was created in the poorest districts of New York City by African American and Latino teenagers as part of a Hip-Hop scene that also produced break dancing(霹雳舞) and graffiti art(涂鸦艺术). Many of these young people were unemployed, but some found work as DJs in discos where they'd ask a friend to act as their MC. The MC would introduce the DJ and encourage everyone to dance and have a good time. Some MCs tried to be more entertaining by talking in time to the beat of the music and using rhymes, and by doing this they invented rapping. Hip-Hop started in New York. Young people in New York wanted to make music, but they had a problem. Many of them did not have enough money to buy expensive instruments. They also did not have any place to practice. Hip-Hop was the perfect answer to this problem, as Hip-Hop artists did not need any special instruments and they could practice anywhere.
Do you like dancing? Do you think dancing is difficult? Breakdancing is a very difficult kind of dancing. People dance to Hip-Hop music. Breakdancers have to be very strong and fast. Breakdancing started in the 1980s at the same time as Hip-Hop. At first, breakdancing was like fighting. Breakdancers had "battles". Each breakdancer did his best to dance in the contest. Then the people who were watching decided which breakdancer was the best. The winner didn't get any money, but they didn't care. Dancers just wanted to be the best breakdancer on their street.
Today, people break dance all over the world. There are professional breakdancing contests. Winners can get a lot of money, and sometimes they are on TV. Just like Hip-Hop, breakdancing is now a big business.

25、Let’s look at two old but popular inventions we use in our daily life.
Band-Aids(创可贴)
The first Band-Aid was made by American Earle Dickson in 1921. The idea came to him by chance. Dickson’s wife Josephine often cut her fingers in the kitchen. At that time gauze(纱布) and adhesive tape(胶带)didn’t come together. People had to cut them to the right size. Dickson found they were always too big and soon fell off. So he put a piece of gauze on the center of a piece of tape. This is how he made the first Band-Aid.
Later Dickson’s new inventions became very popular all around the world.
Bubblegum(泡泡糖)
Bubblegum was invented by accident. In 1928, American gum company worker Walter E. Diemer played around with new chewing gum recipes. Chewing gum had already been invented more than half a century before then. But Diemer found that the gum he made was easy to blow. He blew a bubble and then saw the possibilities. He took some of his new gum to a shop and it sold out in a single afternoon. Since then, Dubble Bubble—the first brand of bubblegum—has made kids happy all around the world.

26、Having a good sleep is always my dream. Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve had problems falling and staying asleep. When I do fall asleep, an hour later I’m right back up, worrying about study or the kids or something stupid I did in high school. It was like I couldn’t turn my brain off.
The doctor told me that I couldn’t sleep well because of anxiety. But I considered myself a positive person, and my sleep problems have given me too much trouble. So I decided to do something about it, and I carefully found the solutions to the problems.
So I read lots of research. Along the way, I learned a surprising fact. A study form the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania found that about 25% of all Americans experience insomnia (失眠) each year. That’s awful! Suddenly, I wasn’t doing research just for myself anymore. I was doing an experiment to help all my readers experience a better night of sleep. So I started trying different methods and recording my results.
First, I got a white noise machine. My mind just focused on the noise, and it ended up having an opposite effect. Then I tried earplugs. However, it’s hard to fall asleep with earplugs in! They were very uncomfortable! After that, I tried to take Xanax. But once again. I didn’t love it. Even though it helped me get to sleep and stay asleep, it left me feeling weak the next day. If I kept taking it, I thought it would do harm to my health.
Recently, I have kept reading articles about how a new blanket, the Odyssey Blanket, was supposed to be good for sleep and anxiety. But even though I saw it again and again, I didn’t pay much attention to it because I didn’t believe a blanket would help. But the more I read, the more it seemed like this blanket might be a good idea.

Another reason for gray squirrels’【10】 (succeed) is that they can live in towns and cities, and can get food from humans.
