    From his own version of Kim Kardashian's "Internet-breaking" picture to rocking the "Leia Buns"look,Mark Udovitch,28,hopes his celebrity impersonations (名人模仿) will help raise money for cancer patients.

    Dressed in a garbage bag,black cleaning gloves and a plastic bag tie,the recreation (娱乐) of Kim Kardashion's picture is one of Mark's favorite celebrity impersonations.

    Game of Throne characters are also a popular choice,and the radiation doctor has cosplayed (角色扮演) many famous figures.Mark says the reaction to the pictures has been positive,with a lot of laugh from his co-workers."I have gotten a very positive response from many other radiation doctors,who privately message me,saying how much respect they have for me,"he said.

    But while the radiation doctor is having fun with his wild and strange creations,the cause behind it is sad.A patient once told him she was more devastated about losing her hair than surgery.It was at that moment that Mark decided to stop getting haircuts and start growing his hair.The radiation doctor will shave his hair off in a "Dry July Shave Off" and donate it to make false hair for cancer patients.

    Mark recalled,"Over the course of 2.5 years,my mates have been absolutely belting me with comments about who I look like with my long hair.I took a photo of me impersonating Scott Stapp,the lead singer of Creed,as a joke last year and posted it on Facebook.It got 150+ likes,which is large for me since I am not very social media savvy(懂行的).Since that image got so much notice that I wonder how many celebrities I could actually impersonate in the lead.Shaving my head may be used as a means of raising awareness."

    Please sit down and enjoy your meal. Just don't talk about it.

    These are the requirements at a popular dining party that is known as "silent dinners". It encourages people who take part in the dining party not to speak for one to two hours and not to use electronic devices. Instead, the idea is to just on the food.

    "Silent dinner parties are fast growing," said Honi Ryan, who has hosted 32 silent dinner parties in 11 cities across eight countries, including Germany, Australia andthe United States. "The way we communicate is changing so fast that we need to stop and think about it."

    According to a 2013 nation wide survey, restaurant noise came in second only to poor service among customer(顾客) complaints. And 19 percent of diners who took part in the survey said noise and crowds disturbed them most while eating out.

    Though silent dinners may seem curious, the idea is not a new one. Yogis(瑜伽信徒) have long enjoyed silent meals as part of a deepened practice. In fact, it was a trip to a temple(寺庙) in India by a man that encouraged one Brooklyn restaurant recently to add a silent dinner to its event programming.

    "We'll make a small speech at the beginning of the meal to make sure everyone understands what is happening and ask them not to speak or use their mobile phones for at least an hour," said EAT Green point owner Jordan Colon. And background music will be turned off, too.

    "It's funny; when I first opened EAT, I didn't play music for some time and people had very different reactions(反映) to that," said Colon. "Some people who come out to eat are ready to party, but it was so quiet without music. But I wanted to create an environment that makes you relaxed."

    Although personal reactions to a silent dinner may be various, in general they are more likely to get into a lot of talk afterwards, said Ryan. "At the end of the night people always have a lot to say about silence. But the most reaction is that there is always a good laugh."
