question: The wedding between Prince Wiliam and Kate Middleton on April 29 has focused the world's camera lenses on the UK.

In Britain, there is a constant debate about the relevance of the royal family to modern British society. However, Windsor (the family name of the British Royal Family) and Middleton have been seen to represent a more modern, forward-looking nation.

Nigel Baker, the British ambassador to Bolivia, believes that the royal wedding is "about modern Britain". "The estimated 2 billion spectators across the world will see that Britain is one of the most culturally and ethnically diverse nations in the world, home to 270 nationalities speaking 300 different languages, founded on tolerance and respect for difference," wrote Baker on his blog.

According to Baker, the wedding could help viewers to see "why Britain is one of the most dynamic and creative countries in the world": The television on which most people watched the event was invented by John Logie Baird, a Briton, and the World Wide Web that broadcast the event to millions more was invented by another Briton, Tim Berners-Lee.

The guests who attended the wedding ceremony gave more than a few clues as to the nature of modern Britain. David and Victoria Beckham represent Britain's obsession with football and celebrity.

Leaders from different religious backgrounds supported Baker's comments on the multicultural nature of modern British society.

Before the wedding, David Elliott, arts director of the British Council China, agreed that the wedding would be a showcase for modern Britain: "I think, and hope, that it (modern British influence) would be values like openness, multiculturalism, creativity, sense of humor and the traditional British sense of fair play," he said.

Furthermore, events such as the Olympics in London in 2012 may also increase people's sense of Britishness.

According to a poll published in Daily Telegraph, more than a third of people in the UK admitted they felt "very British" when watching the Olympics.

question: Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs. They loved each other and played together so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their houses. One evening, Brownie's family noticed that their dog hadn't returned home. They went looking for him, but with no success. Brownie didn't show up the next day, and by the next week he was still missing. Curiously, Spotty showed up at Brownie's house alone. He barked loudly. But busy with their own lives, Brownie's family just ignored their neighbor's nervous little dog. Finally, one morning Spotty refused to take "no" for an answer. He followed Ted, Brownie's owner, everywhere he went. He barked, then rushed towards a nearby empty lot and back, as if to say, " Follow me!" Finally, Ted followed the dog across the empty lot. The dog led the man to a tree a half-mile from the house. There Ted found Brownie alive. One of his legs was crushed in a trap. Ted wished he had taken Spotty's earlier appeals seriously. Then Ted noticed something amazing. In a circle around the injured dog, he saw a lot of dog food. They were the remains of lots of meals. Spotty had been visiting Brownie every day. He had stayed with Brownie to protect him, snuggling with him at night to keep him warm and nuzzling him to .

question: (CNN) -- A five-year-old British boy who was kidnapped in Pakistan earlier this month has been found safe and is back with his relatives, the British High Commission said Tuesday.

Sahil Saeed was released at a school in the Punjab province of Pakistan, said Assistant Chief Constable David Thompson of the Greater Manchester Police in England, near his parents' residence in Oldham.

From there, Sahil wandered into a field and was found by residents who looked after him until police arrived, Thompson said.

Regional Pakistani police said Sahil was found near the town of Danga in Punjab province, close to where he was abducted March 3.

Sahil was in good condition, said Aslam Tareen, the head of the regional police.

"He is with members of family in Pakistan and the Pakistani police, and there is also contact from the British High Commission," Thompson said. He added that Sahil had already spoken to his mother and father in England by telephone and that both parents were "clearly relieved" to speak to their son.

The High Commission issued a statement thanking police in Jhelum, another town in the eastern province of Punjab, for the boy's return.

"This is fantastic news that brings to an end a traumatic ordeal faced by Sahil and his family," said Adam Thomson, the British high commissioner to Pakistan.

Police arrested some of the kidnappers, said Rana Sanaullah, the provincial law minister.

Sahil, a British citizen of Pakistani descent, was on the last day of a two-week vacation in Pakistan before he was to return home to Oldham, in northern England.
