Korea,wrestling(摔跤)and swing play are the highlights.However,both events go by thesame namethe Dragon Boat Festivalwhich falls on May5 of the lunar calendar.One festival,two cultures:does one nation have the right to call its own?It has been reportedthat South Korea will apply(申 请)to the United Nations Educational,Social and CulturalOrganization(UNESCO 联合国教科文组织)to make the celebration its cultural heritage(文化遗产).If successful,people from other countries may see the Dragon Festival as a Korean creation.As the birthplace of the yearly event more than 2,000 years ago,China is not happy with thesituation.It would be a shame if another country successfully made a traditional Chinese festivalpart of its own cultural heritage ahead of China,said Zhou Heping,deputy culture minister.TheMinistry of Culture is even thinking of making its own application to UNESCO,covering alltraditional Chinese festivals,including the Dragon Boat event.Over the years,the Dragon Boat Festival has spread throughout the world.In Japan and VietNam,as well as South Korea,the festival has mixed with and become part of local culture.Withthis in mind,some experts say that it is

UNSEATING YORTYBLACK WINS 56%OF VOTEBradley called his victory over Yorty“the fulfillment of a dream”.During his childhood andyouth,people had kept telling him,You cant do this,you cant go there,because you are aNegro.Nevertheless he had won a decisive victory over a man who had been won 43.7 percent.Los Angeles voters have had many opportunities to judge.Thomas Bradley had to form anopinion of him.The son of a poor farmer Texas,he joined the Los Angeles police force in 1940.During his twenty-one years on the police force he earned a law degree by attending school atnight.He was

1967.In the same year Richard Hatcher waselected mayor of Cary.In Newark,New Jersey,sixty percent of the population were black whenKenneth Gibson was elected in 1970.Thus election of a black mayor in those cities was not verysurprising.In Los Angeles,thousands of white citizens voted for Thomas Bradley because they believedhe would be a better mayor than the white candidate.Bradley had spent

water.Shower with a friend.Now,Wuhan University has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse.It chargesstudents for the amount of time in a shower.Before entering the bathhouse,students pay for theamount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card.The clock starts tickingthe minute the tape is turned on.It pauses when a button is pressed for soap.An integrated circuit(IC)card reader at each tap shows the time.No money,no water.The benefits of the new systemcan be seen with the old system,which charged 1 yuan for each person regardless of time in

divided.Some students say it is badbecause bathing had become a sort of race.Many people using it for the first time are not sure howlong they need to shower.Some might be embarrassed if their time is

Wuhan University.The university is also considering some students suggestions thatthey be allowed to pay after theyve finished the shower.Not surprisingly,some are complainingabout losing the hour shower.But many students say the move helps them develop a water-savingsense.Without the time limits,most students tended to shower for 30 to an hour in the bathhouse.Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes.“In my experience,10-20 minutes isenough,”said Dai Zhihua,a third-year student who usually takes 8 minutes.A similar system has been installed in other universities.Shanghai Normal
