stop subthread example with Event

Background

Python threading模块不同于其他语言之处在于它没有提供线程的终止方法，通过Python threading.Thread()启动的线程彼此是独立的，启动了线程B，B是独立运行的线程。若想终止线程的同时强力终止线程B，更为妥当的方式是通过Event机制， 线程中的资源（打开的文件、数据传输等）可正确的释放。

Test result :

I am here, stupid !
close opened file in subthreadA

subthreadA stoped eeee
