News Item 1

China's wasted no time insetting put the latest plans for its ambitious space program. A senior official said the next manned mission will be in 2007, when the astronauts will attempt a space walk. After that, scientists will focus on developing the capability to rendezvous* and dock* with other spacecraft. He added that China also wanted to recruit female astronauts in the near future.

The announcement comes just hours after the country's second manned space mission touched down in the remote grasslands of Inner Mongolia. The returning astronauts have been given a hero's welcome, riding in an open car in a nationally televised parade. Thousands of soldiers and groups of schoolchildren lined the route, waving Chinese flags. It's a sign of the great importance China attaches to its space program, viewing it as a source of national pride and international prestige.

News Item 2

China's economy has recovered earlier and more strongly than any other. This latest data is further evidence of that trend. The rise in industrial output confirms what factory owners have been saying for some time now, that customers have been restocking* their inventories and confidence is returning.

There are still question marks though over the stability of the recovery. The property* sector* is showing signs of overheating. The government this week announced measures to try to cool it. At the same time officials decided to extend tax subsidies* for purchases of small vehicles and appliances suggesting that some here still believe Chinese manufacturers need government support.

Growth was strongest in heavy industries such as coal, steel, power generation and automobiles. Consumer prices rose in November for the first time since February. But the rise was small and probably reflected higher food prices caused by early snowstorms which destroyed crops and disrupted transport.

A: … about the growth of China’s economy.

News Item 3

If you visit almost any marketplace in Africa, many of the consumer goods on sale, from buckets to razor blades to hurricane lamps, are likely to be Chinese. In a very large number of African capitals, the main football stadium is likely to have been built with Chinese aid money.

Sino-African trade, and aid, is large and growing. Some estimates put it as high as 12 billion dollars a year. Although direct comparisons are difficult, the links between the world's largest developing country, China, and the world's largest developing continent could grow to challenge the post-colonial links between Europe and Africa. The meeting in Addis Ababa* had heard Chinese promises to cancel debts, grant duty-free access into China for African products and increase Chinese investments in Africa.

A: … about China’s large and growing trade with and aid to Africa.

B:

1.In many African capitals, the main football stadium is likely to have been built with Chinese

aid money.

2.It is estimated that Sino-African trade, and aid, amounts to as high as 12 billion dollars a year.

News Item 1

Representatives of nearly 150 countries meeting in Hong Kong are still trying to reach a new agreement on global trade.

For many countries the biggest prize they realistically hoped for on this meeting was a date

for ending the European Union subsidies (补贴) to help farmers sell their produce (农产品) on world markets. The EU was already committed in principle to doing this. Now a senior official says they are prepared to name the date as part of a wider deal. "If there isn't an agreement here in Hong Kong, the date of 2013 will be in it," he confirmed. The United States trade representative Rob Portrnan said he would still prefer a date of 2010, but he is trying to be accommodating.

The G20 have come up with a package of plans that add up to well over a trillion (万亿) dollars to tackle the recession.

One key component is an agreement to treble to seven hundred and fifty billion dollars the resources available to the International Monetary Fund for lending to countries in trouble.

They also want a tenfold* increase in what are called special drawing rights (特别提款权) which are rather like an IMF currency and which strengthen the foreign exchange reserves (外汇储备) of its member countries.

The G20 also plan closer regulation of financial firms with curbs*(控制) on executive pay and new oversight*(失察) of large hedge funds*(对冲基金).

The British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, described the summit as marking a new consensus*(共识) on tackling global problems.

News Item 1

The piracy problem looks like it's here to stay despite the recent muscular interventions (干预) by the French and American navies. Whether this latest attempted hijacking was the promised revenge for the killing of three Somali pirates by the US navy isn't clear. But it does suggest at the very least that the pirates haven't been deterred.

So why does the problem persist? "Put it simply," maritime security analysts say. "Piracy will continue as long as the financial rewards for a successful hijacking remain so great and Somalia remains so lawless. Certainly the international effort to thwart* the problem is relatively limited. At any one time there are only fifteen to eighteen international warships in the area to police an expanse of sea covering more than a million square kilometres."

The reluctance to mount* a major international naval operation in the area may also be down to the relatively small scale of the problem. Last year, nearly twenty-three thousand ships passed through the Gulf of Aden. Only 92 were hijacked.

A: …about the Somali pirates’ strike.

B:

1.Whether this latest attempted hijacking was the promised revenge for the killing of three

Somali pirates by the US navy isn’t clear.

2.No, the pirates haven’t been deterred.

3.Because the financial rewards for a successful hijacking remain so great and Somalia remains

so lawless.

4.At any one time there are only fifteen to eighteen international warships in the area to police

an expanse of sea covering more than a million square kilometers.

News Item 2

The President is making it clear that leaving Afghanistan is not an option; it's not on the table. According to one White House source, he told the meeting that he wouldn't shrink the number of troops in Afghanistan or opt for a strategy of merely targeting al-Qaeda leaders. But he wouldn't be drawn on the military request for more troops.

There appears to be a frustration that the review of strategy has sometimes been portrayed in black-and-white terms of a massive increase or reduction of troop numbers.

President Obama told the group made up of the most senior Republican and Democrat senators and congressmen that his assessment would be "rigorous and deliberate". But it's going on too long for some Republicans and members of the President's own party are dubious* about committing more resources and military personnel to a conflict where there is no end in sight. The word "Vietnam" is heard more and more on Capitol Hill.

There were traffic jams on the road north, families heading to Gaza City to reunite with friends and relatives. Long lines of cars backed up at the makeshift* roadblocks the Israelis have left behind. But the tanks are gone, only the deep tracks remain.

There were buildings pitted with* Israeli tank rounds*; from the holes that have been punched in the walls it was clear there had also been snipers* waiting for them. North of Khan Younis we saw some of the Qassam fighters returning home, their rifles slung* lazily around their shoulders.

For three weeks the Israelis pounded the tunnels that run beneath the perimeter* wall but last night we met people who insist that some of these tunnels are still open and still some fuel is being pumped from the Egyptian side. If the border crossings remain close, say the Palestinians, these tunnels are their only link to the outside world.

A: … about fragile (脆弱的,易毁的)peace that returns to Gaza.

This morning in the Ingush capital of Nazran, local police were standing to attention in the courtyard of their headquarters to receive their orders for the day, when a bomber drove a truck loaded with explosives into the gates of the building.

The blast set the building alight* destroying much of it and many of the vehicles parked there.

Local officials have warned that the number of dead could still rise as local apartment blocks were also hit and children were amongst the wounded. The bombing is one of the deadliest in months and damages the Kremlin's (克里姆林宫) claims that the Republic's new president is bringing the region under control.

The Ingush president Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, who was still convalescing* after surviving an assassination attempt in June, spoke about the attack this morning. He pointed the finger at the West saying that it was behind the blast. He said that western powers would never allow Russia to reclaim its status as a world power.

Malaysia's Prime Minister, Najib Razak, announced ambitious targets last week to tackle street crime. He wants a 20% fall by this time next year. Retired policemen are being brought back and members of Malaysia's people's volunteer corps* are being enlisted* to fight on the frontline. They'll join police on street patrols.

The problem is though, most of the first batch* were not considered up to it. Of 500 volunteers who were sent for assessment, just 142 were fit enough. The rest were too fat, unfit or had what the head of the corps told an English language newspaper was poor overall presentation and grooming*. Corps members wear military uniforms but most of them are unpaid volunteers with limited powers.

Street crime, particularly mugging*, is seen as a serious problem in Malaysia's major cities.

The opposition has called for the country's top policeman to be replaced because of the failure to tackle the issue.

Scientists have produced evidence showing dramatically that the current temperature rise there is highly unusual. For most of the last two thousand years, the Arctic slowly cooled, a consequence of variations in the Earth's orbit.

But over the last century, the cooling abruptly reversed, and the region is now warmer than at any tim e in the 2,000-year record. Writing in the journal Science, the researchers say this shows how quickly the Arctic responds to climatic changes.

The international conservation group, WWF, has accused European toilet and tissue paper manufacturers of contributing to global deforestation* by not using enough recycled material. A spokesman said more than a quarter of a million trees were in fact being flushed* down toilets or discarded as rubbish each day.

The report found alarmingly low levels of recycled fibers in the vast majority of products and said the fibers were instead being taken from natural forests in South Africa, Asia, Europe and across the Americas. Using virgin forest (未被砍伐的森林) to make toilet paper, says the report, is wasteful and unnecessary. The report also warns that illegal and unsustainable logging (伐木业)and conflicts over land rights still exist in many of these areas and that all but one of the companies have so far failed to take effective measures to prevent illegal or controversial timber from being used in their products.

A: … about WWF’s accusation against European toilet and tissue paper manufacturers of contributing to global deforestation by not using enough recycled material.

Scientists are warning that climate change could drive some species of migrating animals towards extinction. A report by European ornithologists* and zoologists (动物学家) says that birds, mammals and reptiles are finding it increasingly difficult to follow their usual migration patterns.

This report by ornithologists and zoologists warns that global warming will cause increasing problems for -many migrating species. For example, the spreading Sahara Desert could make it impossible for swallows to make their epic (壮观的) journey from Southern Africa, and rising sea levels will destroy many coastal habitats (海岸栖息地) for turtles and wading birds. The study even suggests that warmer oceans could lead to some turtle species becoming entirely female. The selection of sex is closely linked to sea temperature.

Five years ago President Bush set out his lofty vision(极高的设想)of sending astronauts back to the Moon by the year 2020. It was meant to be the staging post*(中转站) for the next frontier — a manned landing on Mars. Now a panel of space experts says that's pretty much pie in the sky*(空想的计划).

Their report, commissioned by President Obama, says the current US human spaceflight programme appears to be on an unsustainable trajectory*. It suggests the only way forward is to increase the funding of NASA (美国国家航空航天局) by billions of dollars, or to cooperate with private companies now embarking on commercial space flights.

The panel says visits to Near-Earth Objects such as asteroids* are far more realistic too. The experts also argue for keeping the International Space Station going till 2020, rather than pulling the plug in six years' time.

The study looked at nearly 400 men who developed Alzheimer's* disease. It assessed the time they spent in full-time education, the type of work they did and the point at which they retired.

The researchers detected no link between the onset*(发作) of dementia*(痴呆) and education or occupation. But they found that every extra year at work was associated with a six-week delay in Alzheimer's. They say this points to the value of keeping the brain active by working.

They also acknowledge that the nature of retirement is changing, and for some people it may

be as intellectually stimulating as working. The Alzheimer's Research Trust, which funded the study, says more people than ever retire later in life to avert*(避免) financial hardship, but there may be a silver lining*(一线希望): lower dementia risk. However it says much more research is needed in order to understand how to delay or prevent dementia.

Many hunters from fishing communities in eastern Canada didn't even bother taking their boats out for this year's seal hunt. The market price for a seal pelt* is around 12 US dollars, a steep decline from a peak of 100 dollars a pelt a few years ago. The seal quota* (配额) had been set at 273,000, but this year those who ventured out barely took 70,000.

The depressed value of the Russian rouble(卢布) and the subsequent erosion of one of Canada's largest markets for seal products is partially to blame for the decline in numbers.

But it's clear that the prospect of a European Union ban on seal products and growing international disdain* (鄙视)for the hunt is becoming a major factor in its near collapse. The European parliament passed the ban in May, but it still needs the backing of EU governments.

The annual kill has been a source of critical seasonal income for fishing communities already hit hard by dwindling fish stocks(渔业资源). But some here are wondering if this could be the beginning of the end for the centuries-old practice.

A: …about the decline of this year’s seal hunt in Canada .

The producer price index is a measurement of prices paid for produced or manufactured items here in the United States. And this number came out today indicating a growth that was greater than we've seen dating back to 1990and it also tends to reflect the growth in the consumer price index(消费价格指数)that we saw on Friday. That also indicated that the

inflation is heating up(加剧) and it is higher than we've seen since January of 1991. And now investors are worried that the Fed* could have to be more aggressive about raising interest rates to slow inflation which in fact might end up slowing corporate earnings (公司收益).

News Item 3

In Germany, 40,000 farmers have been protesting over plans to cut their subsidies(补贴) which they receive for growing sugar beet*. The farmers are arguing that a better deal for sugar farmers in Africa is going to cost them their livelihoods.

Back in June the European Union agreed to reduce by almost 40% the guaranteed price currently paid to Europe's sugar producers. This move (对策) came off the years of campaigning by less developed countries who argued that their own sugar industries were being adversely affected by the distortions in the world market caused by European subsidies. Not surprisingly perhaps the EU plan has proved very unpopular with Europe's own sugar beet growers. Germany's Food Industry Union said the plan would spoil the ante*(预付款) of 46,000 sugar beet farmers and threaten more than 26,000 employees in the sugar industry.

A: … about the dispute over the cut of government subsidies the European farmers receive for growing sugar beet.

News Item 1

New research comparing the different ways that babies are reared (抚养)suggests there is chemical evidence to support the view that those deprived of affection when young find later life much harder to cope with. The research was conducted by the US National Academy of Sciences (美国国家科学院).

The researchers say it was a very rare opportunity for them to have access to a group of young children who had been brought up very early in life in an orphanage (孤儿院) before being taken in by families. In the orphanage the children utterly lacked the kind of physical affection they should have experienced. By comparison with their family-raised peers, they had very depressed levels of the hormone arginine vasopressin*, which plays a key role in regulating stress and managing social interactions (社会交往). And they reacted far less when cuddled (抚爱的拥抱)by their adoptive parents as indicated by levels of the relaxing hormone oxytocin*.

A: …about a research which has found chemical evidence to support the view that those deprived of affection when young find later life much harder to cope with .

B:

Hypothesis: Children deprived of affection when young find later life much harder to cope with

Method: an orphanage being taken in by families with their family-raised peers

Findings: 1. very depressed regulating stress and managing social interactions

News Item 1

For years evidence has been mounting that night working causes ill health, from disturbed sleep patterns to increased accidents. But these are the first government payments to women who've developed breast cancer after long spells(一段工作时间) on the night-shift. Ulla Mahnkopf, a former flight attendant (乘务员), is one of them:

(Ulla Mahnkopf) "I wouldn't fly for that many years, I wouldn't, definitely not. Because it's cancer you can die from, so I'd like to stay alive."

The Danish authorities acted following a decision by the International Agency for Research and Cancer. The agency, part of the UN World Health Organisation, now ranks night working as a probable cancer risk, just one category below known carcinogens* (致癌物质)like asbestos*.

Union leaders have told Radio Scotland, the investigation programme, that the UK government isn't doing enough to deal with the dangers. The Health and Safety Executive says it's commissioned its own study but its conclusions aren't expected for another two years.

A: …about the evidence that night working causes ill health .

B:

India may be one of the world's fastest growing economies but the benefit of its growing prosperity is not reaching everyone. According to the ActionAid report, 46% of its children are malnourished*(营养不良的) and the number of people growing hungry is increasing instead of coming down.

It's not that India doesn't grow enough food — in fact it's a major exporter of farm produce.

The problem is that many people, especially poor communities, cannot access (获得) it for a variety of reasons, including rising food prices and poor distribution.

Government schemes, such as mandatory (强制性的) school meals, have not been effectively implemented across the country. Invariably women and children are the most vulnerable.

But there are some positive signs. A landmark rural jobs programme launched four years ago is showing some signs of success in battling poverty. Analysts say it now needs to be persisted with and spread out to more parts of the country.

A: … about hunger and pverty in India.

Scientists predict Peru will be one of the three countries most impacted* by climate change.

The problems are largely geographic and demographic*(人口统计学的). Two thirds of the population live in the main cities on the desert coast with a tiny proportion of the nation's rainfall. They rely heavily on the fact that Peru is also home to 70% of the world's tropical glaciers*(冰川).

Peru is also home to the second largest swathe* of Amazon rainforest which is under enormous pressure from deforestation and oil and gas exploration. Scientists say it's crucial to preserve it not only for Peru's water supply but for the global climate system. Researchers say half of Peru's main rivers are polluted, mostly by mining operations (采矿作业) in the Andes Mountains(安地斯山脉). Added to this is the ever more frequent El Nino phenomenon which alternately causes drought and flooding.

He doesn’t have a car or a TV set. He doesn’t have many clothes and he doesn’t care about money when he makes a lot of money, he gives it away. He doesn’t smoke and he works from six in the morning until late at night, seven days a week: he is paying back to America his debt as a citizen. When he went to parties as a young man, people complained that all he talked about was the dangers of cars, and how bad car design caused the deaths of so many people each year. After he graduated from Harvard, he published an article entitled “Unsafe at Any Speed,” which was about a car called Corvair. Later, he made a big attack on the car industry and showed how many deaths in car accidents were because of badly-made cars. He said new laws were needed to make cars safer. In 1966, because of Nader’s work, a law was passed to make car safer. After this success, Nader became interested in something very different. This was the quality of meat and the amount of meat that is put into foods like sausages and hamburgers. A year later, in 1967, again because of Nader’s work, a law was passed to ensure that products like sausages and hamburgers contained the right amount of meat. In 1968, three more laws were passed because of Nader’s efforts. The first was to
