　 There are good Santas(Father Christmas)and bad Santas. The good Santas all realize one thing: In the mind of a child，Santa Claus is perfect. That’s a lot of pressure. And so many people from around the world attend the Charles Howard School in Midland，Mich. The school offers a three-day，40-hour course for Santas hoping to achieve excellence. The graduates can get a diploma(文凭)in the art of Santa.　

　 There’s a real range to what Santas earn, from big reindeer(驯鹿)for large events to no pay for charities(慈善). One thing that makes them come here is a pure love for children，and very few jobs are respected by a shopping center full of children like Santas.

　 “The very first time I did Santa，I was attracted，’’ said one of the students. 　“ I would have done it without money. I mean，I just love it.”

　 A former Macy’s Santa named Chales Howard founded the Michigan School in 1937 with the belief that being St. Nick demands so much more than a belly and beard. ‘‘A lot of commercial institutes will think if you have a suit，you think you’re a Santa， it’s more than that.” said Tom， the school’s present dean. Tom is Santa’s training director．“Santa Claus can be a religious(宗教的)figure，”Tom said. “He can also be a non-religious figure. He’s a man who stands for all good things.”

　 The schoo1 teaches every thing from breathing techniques for Christmas songs to the subtleties(细微之处) of beard keeping. There are lessons in child psychology，body language and even media training for talk-show appearances and call-in shows. Santas a1so need to make sure they know a11 the names of the reindeer and how to deal with children. What is harder to deal with， however， is children who ask for Christmas gifts like bringing daddy home or making mommy happy again.

　 As China faces up to a battle against bird flu，the government has announced a lot of measures that it believes will bring the disease under contro1.

　 H5Nl avian influenza，known commonly as bird f1u， has killed at least 16 people across Asia and was proved in China on January 27. No human cases have been found in the mainland，but till Friday, 13 areas of the country had reported the disease in poultry(家禽).

　 ‘‘It remains a difficult task for China to prevent and control the disease but the government is sure to win the fight，”said Vice-Minister of Agriculture Liu Jiang.

　 He gave detai1s of measures designed to stop the d1sease spread1ng. Poultry within 3 km of infected(被感染的)farms is to be killed and those within 5 km vaccinated(进行预防接种). Meanwhile，there will be continuing checking and daily reports on the disease across the country， and increased production of bird flu vaccines.

　 Among the 11 Asian countries and areas affected by bird flu in anima1s， only Viet Nam and Thailand have reported human cases. The people infected were reported to have caught the disease from poultry.

　 While the World Health Organization(WFIO)has said there is “no evidence of human-to-human spread” of bird flu，it admitted that two sisters who died of bird f1u in Viet Nam might have caught it from their brother.

　 The big fear is that the disease could connect with a human influenza virus to create a deadly new disease that kills millions of people throughout the world.

　 Peter Cordingley，spokesman of the WHO，said that Asian countries affected by bird flu should introduce a more healthy way of raising and selling chickens，and many experts think highly of it.

　 Many Chinese farmers live close with their animals and sell 1ive chickens On the market. This greatly increases the possibility of humans being infected with bird flu.

　 “They have to completely change their lifestyle，’’he said.
