Chef Wolfgang Puck told Fox News on Tuesday that the nationwide near-shutdown of the restaurant business will not only be a disaster for its workers due to the novel coronavirus (新型冠状病毒), but also will have a bad effect on the nation's economy in the long term.

Puck said that the American restaurant industry gives jobs to 15.6 million people nationwide. He added that in a normal year, the food service industry provides USS I trillion to the U.S. economy.

“How are we going to continue this way with no work for so many people?” Puck said, “It's really a tragedy to have so many people out of work, not getting their money.”

Puck said Congress must act to protect the restaurants and help them get back on their feet when the coronavirus contagion(扩散) declines. “If every restaurant should go to the government, local state or federal individually and say, 'We need money', it would be impossible. We would be waiting for ten years.” He said, “We've seen in the time after Hurricane Katrina how long it took to get money from the federal government to the people in need. We really need it now. We cannot wait a month.”

Puck pointed out that some restaurants survive on takeouts (外卖) and delivery orders, but it is not possible in the long term.

Puck was joined by chef Thomas Keller, who said the federal government is the most effective way to bring relief to the food service industry right away. “The most important thing is that the restaurants survive,” Keller said.

One ambitious high school student knew exactly how to show his family that he got accepted into his dream college—by surprising them on Christmas Day.

On Christmas Day, in a now video on Twitter, Lincoln, 17, gifted his mom Lisa McDonald and his aunt Shirley Gray the T-shirts with the school’s name on it. When the two sisters opened the gifts, they had no idea what they meant.

In the video, Lincoln nudges (用肘轻推) his family, “You know what that means right? I got in!” While McDonald falls heavily on the couch in delight, Gray asks, “You’ve been holding out on us?”

“I didn’t expect anything like that,” McDonald told ABC News. “It’s so satisfying to see him get the return on his studying.” “He always wanted to be the first in line and help everybody stay in line,” his mother added.

A 3-year-old boy who was lost in the woods is now safe at home with his family. But Casey Hathaway told his rescuers that he was not alone in the rainy, freezing cold woods. He said he was with a friend—a bear.

The child went missing on January 22 while playing with friends at his grandmother’s house in the southern state of North Carolina. When the other children returned to the house and Casey did not, the family searched the area for almost an hour before calling the police. Police formed a search and rescue team to look for the young boy in the nearby woods. But two days went by and still-no Casey.

Then on January 24, someone called the police saying they heard a child crying in the woods. Police followed up on the information and found Casey at about 9:30 that night. They pulled him out of some briar. He was in good health. Casey told the rescuers that he had hung out with a black bear for two days, a bear he called his “friend”. Sheriff Chip Hughes spoke with reporters from several news agencies. He said Casey did not say how he was able to survive in the woods for three days in the cold, rainy weather. However, the sheriff said, “He did say he had a friend with him in the woods that was a bear.”

Hundreds of people helped in the search and rescue efforts, including some 600 volunteers, federal police and members of the military.

Many people think that the BBC news programs are better than those on other channels because the BBC is not a commercial company. It pays for its programs from the television license money which everyone must pay if they have a television.

The BBC, which is often known as "Auntie", is the biggest news collecting operation in the world. It has the world’s largest network of foreign correspondents (通讯员；记者）. Ten percent of the BBC’s annual budget is spent on news collecting, reporting and presenting. More than 1,700 people work for the BBC news service.

The BBC produces more than 214 hours of news and current affairs programs for radio and television each week. Each television news program costs about £78,000 per hour and each radio news program costs approximately £4,800 per hour. In the UK, about 19 million people ― almost 35% of the total population, watch the BBC television news progams every day.

Developments in technology are improving news collection and presentation every year. The BBC now uses special cameras in the TV news studios to film the news presenters, and captions― the words and sentences at the bottom of the screen, are now produced automatically by computer.
