CARIFF, Wales poets, singers and musicians from across the globe gathered in Wales to celebrate the tradition of storytelling."It might seem strange that people still want to listen to it instead of watching television, but this is an unusual art form whose time has come again," said David Ambrose, director of "Beyond the Border", an international storytelling festival in Wales."Some of the tales, like those of the Inuit from Canada, are thousands of years old. So our storytellers have come from distant lands to connect us with the distance of time," he said early this month.Two Inuit women, both in their mid 60s, are among the few remaining who can do Kntadjait, or throat singing, which has few words and much sound.Their art is governed by the cold of their surroundings forcing them to say little but listen attentively.Ambrose started the festival in 1993, after several years of working with those reviving storytelling in Wales."It came out of a group of people who wanted to reconnect with traditions and as all the Welsh are storytellers, it was in good hands here," Ambrose said. Ambrose believes that the art of storytelling ().

The only solid pieces of scientific truth about which I feel totally confident is that we are profoundly ignorant about nature. Indeed, I regard this as the major discovery of the past hundred years of biology. It would have amazed the brightest minds of the 18th century Enlightenment to be told by any of us how little we know and how bewildering seems the way ahead. It is this sudden confrontation with the depth’ and scope of ignorance that represents the most significant contribution of the 20th century science to the human intellect. In earlier times, we either pretended to understand how things worked or ignored the problem, or simply made up stories to fill the gaps. Now that we have begun exploring in earnest, we are getting glimpses of how huge the questions are, and how far from being answered. It is not so bad being ignorant if you are totally ignorant; the hard thing is knowing in some detail the reality of ignorance, the worst spots and here and there the not-so-bad spots.

Americans smoke six thousand million cigarettes every year, that is, every person smokes about 4,195 cigarettes a year in the country of 18 years of age or more. It has been calculated that 51% of American men smoke while 34% of American women do so.Since 1939, scientific studies have shown that smoking does great harm to one’s health and it will shorten one’s life.Cigarette smoking is believed, by most research workers in the field, a very important cause in the development of the cancer of the lungs and the cancer of the throat and is believed to have much to do with some other kinds of cancers. Cigarette smokers suffer from the illness of the heart more often than those who don’t smoke. But strange, yet true, women are thought to be less affected, because when women smoke, they usually don’t breathe in the smoke so deeply. Most of doctors and researchers say, "Give up smoking. If you don’t smoke--don’t start!"Filters (过滤嘴) are required now to make smoking a bit safer, but they can only reduce, not get rid of, its poison.But there are still a number of doctors and research workers who are less sure of the effect of cigarette smoking on health. They believe that the cancers of the lungs, the throat and so on may also be caused by air pollution, or chemical poison that is now being used by farmers in large quantities to destroy plant pests and small animals. It is believed by many that the cancers of the lungs and throat are caused()by smoking.
