A

For

many

people

the

subject

of

hiccups

(

嗝

)

is

a

joke,

but

for

Harry

Mendes,

a

fifteen-year-old schoolboy from Birmingham, it was something quite different.

His

hiccups

began

one

Sunday

lunch

time

and

continued

day

and

night

for

two

weeks.

After

the

first

week,

Harry's

parents

took

him

to

hospital,

but

it

took

another

week

for

the

doctors to cure his attack.

Harry, who is now back at school, described what happened to him.

“When

I

began

to

hiccup,

I

drank

a

glass

of

water

but

that

didn'

t

do

any

good.

That

evening I had hiccups every four seconds. We tried everything to stop them. I held my breath

and drank cold drinks. My father even tried to give me a shock but that didn't work either.”

After

a

week

of

sleepless

nights,

he

went

to

hospital.

The

doctors

took

an

X-ray

of

his

chest but they couldn't find anything wrong.

“They

gave

me

some

medicine

and

my

hiccups

slowed

down,

but

it

was

another

week

before the medicine worked completely and my hiccups stopped.”

*

Harry was very lucky. The

world record holder is the American farmer Charles Osborne,

who hiccupped for sixty-eight years. He stopped in 1990 at last, but nobody knows why.

Yang Liwei circled the earth 14 times in 21 hours on October 15 and 16, 2003, landing on

the

grasslands

of

Mongolia.

Looking

a

little

tired,

Yang

stepped

out

of

Shenzhou

V,

smiling and waving at the waiting people. “I feel very good.” Yang said to Premier Wen Jiabao

on the phone. Yang said to a new

spaper, “For our motherland and me, this is a great moment.”

China’s launch of Shenzhou V shows a higher starting point. It has two special systems

（系

to protect the spaceman, but neither Russian rockets

（火箭）

nor American ones have.
