4. Title of the article Bankruptcy Bomb: Borders to shut several Chicago stores as it struggles to stay afloat

5. A summary of the article

This article is about Borders Group Inc. declaring bankruptcy. Borders is one of the biggest bookstore companies in the US. Because of the bankruptcy it will close 30% of its stores. Borders has 508 superstores. In Chicago, half of its stores will be closed. Borders has 30 stores in the Chicago area.

6. Your opinion about the article

I think this is very sad. I live four blocks away from a Borders store. I sometimes go there to look at magazines or have a coffee. There are less and less places to look at real books now. However, I almost always buy books online from Amazon. So, I can understand Borders going bankrupt.

Title of the article：Beer and water for Lent, nothing else

Summary:An lowa man has vowed to subsist on nothing but beer and water for the 46 days from Ash Wednesday until Easter, on April 24.He became fascinated with the 300-year-old tale of doppelbock beer known as "liquid bread," brewed by German monks who were not allowed to eat food during Lent.He's living on four 12-ounce Illuminator Doppelbocks a day.He plans to consult with a doctor during the fast and does not intend to be drunk at any point.

My opinion:I can't believe a people can just drink beer and water without eating anything for a long time.I have drank some beer,but I don't really like that too much.So it's also very difficult for me to understand why he like the beer so much.
