The biscuit company wants to take Krispy Kreme to court. Arnott’s legal team says the Krispy Kreme Iced Dough-Vo donut is a copy of its own Iced Vo-Vo biscuit.

Текст B: East Asians use the eyes in emoticons to show emotion, for example ^_^ means happy and ;_; is sad. Westerners, however, use the mouth. For example :) is for happy and :( is for sad. There are clear cultural differences in the formations of these icons. Emoticons are used to convey different emotions in cyberspace as they are the iconic representation of facial expressions. The researchers say: “When it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.

Текст C: A solar-powered cooker made from a cardboard box has won an international environment award. The simple Kyoto Box costs just $5 to make.

The boxes are covered with black paint and silver foil, which trap the sun’s heat. It’s a technology that can make so much impact for so little money.

Текст D: Millions of buildings around the globe will be dark for an hour on March, 28 as the Earth Hour takes place. The event is organized by the World Wildlife Fund. It started in 2007 as a way of drawing attention to the dangers of climate change. The Earth Hour website says: “People of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, and leaving them on is a vote for global warming.”

Текст E: The world’s first flying car took to the skies on March 18, 2009. Its name is the Transition, because it can switch between the road and the sky. The car that looks like a plane that looks like a car took off from a small airport in New York. The “roadable aircraft” is from a Boston based company called Terrafugia, which means “escape from land” in Latin. The designer of the vehicle said his inspiration was to do something about America’s crowded highways and airports.

Текст F: A decade-long study has found that cancer is less common among vegetarians. Health experts have always thought that a vegetarian diet is healthier than one that includes meat. This latest research is one of the biggest studies to compare cancers in vegetarians and non vegetarians. The researchers separated people into diff erent groups – meat-eaters, fish-eaters, and vegetarians. The research team reported a “significantly lower” number of cancers among the fish-eaters and vegetarians compared with those who ate meat. The study suggests being vegetarian could protect people against cancer.

Текст G: Scientists have found a strong link between headaches and warmer weather. The research showed that the main cause of the patients’ headaches was a change in the weather. A rise in temperature in the previous 24 hours was the biggest trigger. The research team said the chances of getting a bad headache increased by 7.5 percent with every five-degree Celsius rise in the temperature. The second biggest cause was a fall in air pressure, which happens especially after thunderstorms.
