US state approves same-sex marriage statute
[ 2012-02-10 16:14 ]
A bill to legalize gay marriage in Washington state won final legislative approval on Wednesday in a vote that moved the state one step closer to becoming the seventh to recognize same-sex nuptials.
Washington's Democratic Gov Christine Gregoire said she looked forward to signing the measure and "putting into law an end to an era of discrimination" even as opponents, led by religious conservatives, vowed to seek its repeal at the polls in November.
The approval in the state House of Representatives came a day after gay marriage advocates won a key legal victory in California when a federal appeals court declared a voter-approved gay marriage ban in that state unconstitutional.
The measure cleared the state House of Representatives 55-43, a week after it was passed by the state Senate by a 28-21 vote. Democrats, accounting for the lion's share of support for the bill, control both legislative bodies in the state capital Olympia but enjoy a bigger majority in the 98-seat House.
Two Republicans joined 53 Democrats in voting for the bill, while two Democrats sided with 41 Republicans in opposition.
Democratic Rep Jamie Pedersen, a gay lawmaker from Seattle who has sponsored gay rights bills in the House for several years, said domestic partnership laws, which the state has had for years, are "a pale and inadequate substitute for marriage."
Pedersen, during his remarks on the House floor, read from Tuesday's ruling by the San Francisco-based 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals, citing a section that stated "marriage is the name that society gives to the relationship that matters most between two adults."
Questions:
1. Which US state is on its way to legalizing gay marriage?
2. How many other states recognize same-sex nuptials?
3. Who opposes legalizing gay marriage?

Pizza Hut seeks bigger piece of pie
[ 2012-02-09 14:49 ]
Pizza Hut, a restaurant chain owned by Yum! Brands, announced it will open at least 150 more restaurants in China this year as its parent company moves forward with plans to expand overseas.
"Pizza Hut will accelerate its development speed in China," said Peter Kao, brand general manager of Pizza Hut and Pizza Hut Delivery of Yum! China. "We plan to invest more than 700 million yuan ($111.2 million) and open at least 150 restaurants in third- or fourth-tier cities this year."
Yum! Brands Inc, based in Louisville, Kentucky, has more than 36,000 restaurants in more than 117 countries and regions, according to its official website.
In 1987, Yum! entered China by opening its first KFC store. The catering giant now has more than 4,400 restaurants in the country - KFCs, Pizza Huts, Taco Bells, East Dawnings and Little Sheep.
On Tuesday, Yum! Brands reported that its fourth-quarter profit had increased by 30 percent from the same period a year ago, a result it attributed to its global expansion and the sales increase it has seen at its China stores.
The company's net income increased to $356 million, or 75 cents a share, from $274 million, or 56 cents, a year earlier, Yum! said in the statement.
Yum!, which has about 18,800 restaurants outside the United States, said its
fourth-quarter sales at stores that have been open at least 12 months increased by 21 percent in China. The company said it opened 656 stores in the country last year, a record number.
It gets more than 40 percent of its revenue from China.
By contrast, same-store sales during the quarter increased by 1 percent in the US, driven by growth at the Pizza Hut chain, Yum! said.
In addition to the store opening, Yum! announced that its plan for privatizing Little Sheep Group took effect on Feb 1, making the hotpot chain a subsidiary of Yum! That change has given the company a much bigger presence in the Chinese market. The acquisition is expected to cost Yum! about HK $4.557 billion ($586.5 million).
"China's catering industry is on a fast development track and has achieved annual growth of about 20 percent during the past 30 years," said Jing Linbo, vice-president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' national academy of economic strategy.
"In 2011, sales revenue from the Chinese catering industry was estimated to reach 2.05 trillion yuan, up 16.9 percent from the year before.
"By the end of 2015, the industry's sales revenue is expected to reach 3.7 trillion yuan. That will provide a huge market for foreign restaurant companies, including Yum!"
Questions:
1. What is Pizza Hut’s plan for China?
2. Who is its parent company?
3. Where is it based?
Answers:
1. It will open at least 150 more restaurants in China this year.
2.Yum! Brands Inc.
3.Louisville, Kentucky.
Smoking is dumb and dumbing
[ 2012-02-08 16:33 ]
Men who smoke suffer a more rapid decline in brain function as they age than their non-smoking counterparts, with their cognitive decline as rapid as someone 10 years older but who shuns tobacco, scientists said on Monday.
In a large, long-term study, British researchers found that while there seems to be no link between cognitive decline and smoking in women, in men, the habit is linked to swifter decline, with early dementia-like cognitive difficulties showing up as early as the age of 45.
The research adds to an already large body of evidence about the long-term dangers of smoking - a habit the World Health Organization refers to as "one of the biggest public health threats the world has ever faced."
Smoking causes lung cancer, which is often fatal, and other chronic respiratory diseases. It is also a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, the world's number one killers.
"While we were aware that smoking is a risk factor for respiratory disease, cancer, and cardiovascular disease, this study shows it also has a detrimental effect on cognitive aging and this is evident as early as 45 years," says Severine Sabia of University College London, who led the study and published it in the Archives of General Psychiatry journal.
In an interview, she said one explanation for the gender difference found in this study might be the larger amount of tobacco smoked by men, or the fact that there was a significantly lower proportion of women than men among those involved in the research.
Sabia's team looked for possible links between smoking history and cognitive decline in the transition from midlife to old age using data from 5,099 men and 2,137 women, who are involved in a large research project called the Whitehall II study, which is based on employees of the British Civil Service.
The average age of those taking part was 56 when they had their first cognitive assessment.
The study used six assessments of smoking status over 25 years and three cognitive assessments over 10 years, and found that smokers showed a cognitive decline as fast as non-smokers 10 years older.
"A 50-year-old male smoker shows a similar cognitive decline as a 60-year-old male never smoker," Sabia said.
She also found that men who quit smoking in the 10 years before the first cognitive testing point were still at risk of greater cognitive decline, especially in executive function – which covers various complex cognitive processes involved in achieving a particular goal.
Long-term ex-smokers, however, did not show a faster decline in their brain functions or cognitive abilities.
Sabia says more research is now needed to find out why there was a difference between men and women in this study, and to look into possible mechanisms that might link declining brain function to smoking.
Questions:
1. What link was made between male smokers and brain function?
2. When do symptoms appear?
3. What else is linked to smoking?
Answers:
1.Men who smoke suffer a more rapid decline in brain function as they age than their non-smoking counterparts.
2.Early dementia-like cognitive difficulties show up as early as the age of 45.
3.Smoking causes lung cancer, which is often fatal, and other chronic respiratory diseases. It is also a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.
'I love u' text messages a turnoff for women
[ 2012-02-14 16:53 ]Australian women may have embraced the digital era, but they prefer a face-to-face declaration of affection to an "I love u" text and find men addicted to their mobile phones a major turnoff.
That's according to a study carried out by romance publisher Mills & Boon, timed to coincide with Valentines Day on Tuesday.
The 2012 Australian Romance Report found 91 percent of woman expected to be asked out on a date with a telephone call rather than via a mobile phone message.
And 86 percent of respondents were more comfortable saying "I love you" in person than via a text message.
The least romantic of gestures was declaring one's love via a relationship status change on Facebook.
At a time when women see themselves as more independent than ever before, many of the traditional beliefs about romance still resonate, said Michelle Laforest of publisher Harlequin Enterprises, which carried out the survey.
While most single woman would admit that the rules of dating have changed, 61 percent still believe a guy should "ask me out".
The online survey of 1,200 single women aged 18 to 55 also revealed 76 percent would be more willing to stand in front of someone naked with the lights on than send a naked photograph by text.
When it came to relationship deal-breakers, a Blackberry/iPhone dependency and Facebook photos with ex-lovers rated highly as turnoffs.
Asked what they most wanted in a partner, women were mostly traditional, nominating a killer smile, a great sense of humour and an accent as their biggest turn-ons.
Questions:
1. Who carried out the study?
2. What percentage of woman expected to be asked out on a date with a telephone call rather than via a mobile phone message?
3. How many single women took part in the survey?

Shanghai court postpones iPad decision Shanghai court postpones iPad decision
[ 2012-02-24 16:26 ]
The Shanghai Pudong New Area People's Court on Thursday rejected a request by Shenzhen Proview Technology to stop Apple from selling iPads in the city.
The court said it could not support Proview's application because no ruling has been made on whether Apple has violated Proview's exclusive right to use the iPad trademark.
A lawsuit over the right to use the trademark in China is still under the second instance trial at Guangzhou people's higher court, which is scheduled to hold a hearing on Wednesday.
Xie Jinnan, a lawyer for Apple, said he was notified about the court's decision but is not authorized to make further comments on the case.
Proview's lawyers could not be reached.
Shu Jianxin, a Shanghai-based intellectual property attorney who has been following the case, said the Shanghai court is being cautious to wait for the Guangdong court's verdict.
The lawsuit in Guangdong will decide whether the trademark should be exclusively used by Shenzhen Proview Technology, while the case in Shanghai will decide whether the distributors of Apple products have the right to use it.
Shu said they are quite different lawsuits, but if the Guangdong court rules that Apple has no right to use the iPad trademark, then the Shanghai court might take the decision into consideration.
A legal expert said the Shanghai court's decision to suspend the case might be good news for Apple.
Liu Chuntian, professor of intellectual property at Renmin University of China, said Proview has to provide more evidence proving Apple had infringed on its trademark rights if it wants to win the suit.
In Shanghai's Apple flagship store, shop assistants said some customers have come to ask about the lawsuits, but they have not seen any changes in the sales of iPad products.
"We sell as many iPads as usual and I don't think the lawsuits have impacted the sales of the products," said a shop assistant.
英语新闻报道写作的主要技巧
英语新闻报道写作的主要技巧 新闻报道的结构一般分为四个部分：（一）标题、（二）导语、（三）主体、（四）结语。 标题是新闻的题目，是编辑对最有新闻价值内容的浓缩、概括、提炼和再创造。撰写标题是为了撷取新闻要点、诠释新闻意义、吸引读者阅读。在今天繁忙的现代社会中，报纸的读者大多是标题浏览者。导语是消息开头的第一段或第一句话，它扼要地揭示出消息的核心内容。主体是消息的主要部分，它用充足的事实表现主题，是对导语内容的进一步开展和阐释。新闻报道的结语一般是最后一句话或者一段话，通常对全文内容作概括性的总结，或对新闻事件的发展趋势作出预测。有时，作者根据报道的事实在结语中提出令人深思的问题。 一般来说，标题、导语和主体是构成新闻报道的必不可少的三部分。可根据新闻报道的内容而确定是否要结语或其它内容（如事件和历史背景等），有时，还可将它们暗含在主体中。 在写新闻报道时，首先要注意新闻的标题具有语言幽默风趣的特点，有较强的吸引力。同时，写作依据的材料要充分，要用事实来说话，语言力求简洁。最后，报道中要有亮点，能引人深思或能让人产生强烈的兴趣。 请阅读下面一则关于刘翔获得奥运金牌的体育报道,并试着找出这则新闻报道的标题、导语和主体：
Liu Xiang：Dark Horse in the Athens Olympics Liu Xiang , born on July 13, 1983 in Shanghai, China, is a Chinese hurdling athlete. In 2002, Liu launched his career in fine style by winning the first IAAF (国际业余田径联合会) Grand Prix in Lausanne with a world youth and Asian record time of 13.12 seconds in the 110 metres hurdles. He has since made the finals at the IAAF World Championships in Athletics and IAAF World Indoor Championships in Athletics. Two of the three cases has seen American hurdling great Allen Johnson take the major prize, but in the last in May at Osaka, Liu managed to beat Johnson with an Asian-record time of 13.2014 seconds. Still young, Liu has improved steadily, and won a gold medal at the 2014 Summer Olympics in the 110 meters hurdles event. In the final, he equaled the world record of 12.91 seconds held since 1993 by Colin Jackson of Wales. This is the first time an athlete of non-African descent (后裔) has dipped under 13 seconds for the 110 meter hurdles.
高考英语阅读题新闻报道类练习题
曹姗（2012年安徽英语状元） 英语要大声朗读，我基本上每天早起读英语或新概念，朗读是一个培养语感的好办法，有助于在解题没有明确依据的情况下提高答案正确率。 坚持阅读训练，达到英语能力和应试能力的统一需要做一定量的题目，尤其是阅读和完形的成绩的提高需要一个过程，不会立杆见影，一定要有毅力和耐心同时要会总结。我从高二起每天做两篇阅读一篇完形，做完后仔细思考做错的题，思维有什么偏差，出题者到底想考什么，逐渐使自己的思路接近命题者。 高考英语阅读题:阅读新闻报道类短文注意六个个方面 在高考阅读理解中屡屡出现，已经引起了我们师生的注意。我们考生在阅读新闻报道类短文时，应该注意以下几个方面： 一、如果有标题的话，要重视新闻报道文章的标题 标题通常点明短文的主题思想，例如：通过某文的标题Old Computers Make for Unhappy Workers Survey说明本篇报道的主题就是陈旧电脑设备导致工人不满，并告知读者这是一份调查报告。但是高考试卷中的大部分新闻报道都会有意识地删掉标题，以考查考生对主题思想的归纳概括能力。 二、重视对新闻报道文章导语部分 由于高考试卷中的大部分新闻报道短文都会有意识地删掉标题，因此全文的主题和论点这时必须通过理解和分析导语部分来获得。考生可以从导语部分的开头来了解该新闻报道的来源和时间，如通过本文开头Beijing 读者可以了解到该篇报道是由中国国内报道的。如果是New Yoke ，那么考生就会知道这篇报道是来自于美国方面的报道。因此考生要想掌握新闻报道的主题或论点概况，必须仔细阅读导语。导语(1ead)就是指新闻报道的第一段或第一、二段(例如上文的第一段)，它是新闻报道最基本内容的概括和浓缩，它通常反映新闻报道的主题或论点。 三、重视每个段落的链接 新闻报道通常结构看似比较松散，而实际上并非如此。新闻报道的正文主要对导语部分所提供的主题信息的相关细节进行叙述或议论。新闻报道在叙述或议论过程中其正文部分往往由很多短小的段落组成，但是这些短小的段落确是按照一定的时间、逻辑或空间等顺序进行展开，环环相扣，因此结构仍然很紧密。 四、重视新闻报道文章的阅读方法

应用文写作之新闻报道(金版学案52页) ?技巧点拨 1.新闻通讯的第一句往往为全文的中心句(topic sentence),因此这个句子中主要讲清what (事件), when (时间), where (地点) 和who (人物),而在下文则要补充事件的过程和细节,往往包括why(目的或原因)和how(具体过程)等。 2.注意新闻类型题材的一些常用语,如It is reported that..., As is reported..., According to the report...; It is estimated that...等。 3.新闻通讯亦为记叙文，时态一般要用过去时，注意句子结构；主句，从句结构要清晰，语言要客观平时，不必追求过分花哨的词汇和过于复杂的句型。 4. 阅读范文时, 重在掌握时间的表达, 背诵范文的第一句和斜体字的句型。 ●假设你是一名新闻记者，请根据以下表格信息给英语报社写一篇新闻报道。 【写作内容】 国际背景今年4月，墨西哥爆发了H1N1流感（flu）,疾病迅速蔓延到全球多个国家。国内影响截至8月30日下午，有报道称河南省某中学共发现确诊病例 (confirmed case) 80 例，那儿的中小学全部推迟开学。 专家估计该疾病的死亡率低于1%，低于SARS 和禽流感（bird flu）。 预防方法勤洗手，多喝水，充足睡眠。 个人信念在政府的帮助下，我们一定能够打赢这战争。 【参考范文】 The H1N1 flu broke out in Mexico in April this year and it has spread quickly to many countries in the world.

英语新闻报道的特点和收听技巧
(1)掌握新闻报道的结构新闻报道往往采用“倒金字塔体”。所谓“倒金字塔体”，也称为倒途法，即按新闻事实重要性的程度由要点到细节逐步扩展，安排全文。把最重要的事实置于全文的第一个句子中，这个句子被称为新闻导语(the news lead)。它告知听众最关心最重要的事实，如事件(what)、时间(when)、地点(where)、人物(who)，以及原因和方式(why，how，即新闻导语包含了我们常说的五个WH和一个H构成的“新闻六大要素”。新闻导语是整条新闻的高度浓缩形式，听懂了导语，也就听懂了新闻的主要内容。当然，由于新闻报道的侧重点不同，有时新闻导语也可能只包含其中部分要素 (2)扩大词汇量，熟记新闻报道中的常用词汇 ①普通词汇。尽管新闻报道所使用的词汇量很大，但是语言的基本词汇是稳定的。如VOA 广播中的special English(特别节目)的新闻报告中常用词汇约1 500个，这的重复率在报道中是很高的，如cease-fire，presidential election等政治性词汇，finance banking group等经济词汇以ace shuttle，robot等科技词汇。而新闻英语中的特有用语就更具稳定性。若能掌握这些词汇，再加上一些听力技巧，基本听懂新闻报道就不是件难事了。 ②专有词汇。新闻报道是有关世界范围的最新消息，因在报道中常涉及许多人名、地名、国名。除此之外，新闻报道中还常常出现一些河流、山脉及名胜古迹等专有名词熟悉这些专有名词可使听者更快更准确地了解所听的新闻 (3)掌握一定数量的缩略语(acronym) 由于新闻报道时间的限制，不少机构的名称常采用其缩略形式，即由该名称中数个词的首字母的大写形式组成，如：PLO是the Palestine Liberation Organization的缩写形式。需要注意的是，听者不仅要了解这些缩略语的确切含义，而且还应知道它们的正确读音。 (4)掌握数字的不同读法 在新闻报道中经常出现许多数字，大到几十亿，上百亿，小到分数或小数。尤其对一些多位数的数字，要想立刻听准这些数字的确不容易，其主要难点在于位数过多。因此在听多位数的数字时，应对billion(十亿)、million(百万)、thousand(千)、hundred(百)等词尤为重视。同时，要注意一个数字的多种读法，如播音员把两个足球队比赛结果2：0读作two to nothing而不是读成two to nought或two to zero． (5)掌握循序渐进，从慢到快的原则 目前，许多外台(如BBC，VOA)的新闻英语报道有特别英语(Special English)和标准英语(Standard English)两种。所谓Special English也可称为慢速英语，即新闻播放的语速较慢。

Organic crops seem to be no more nutritious than conventional ones, and are not necessarily great for the planet either. Organic farming eschews synthetic pesticides and fertilisers, and supposedly produces more nutritious food containing fewer harmful contaminants. Crystal Smith-Spangler of S tanford University in California and colleagues put together 237 studies comparing organic and non-organic food. They found little evidence that organic food was more nutritious. Conventional foods contained more pesticides but were within permitted limits (Annals of Internal Medicine, vol 157, p 348). Meanwhile, organic farming's green credentials have been questioned by Hanna Tuomisto of the University of Oxford and colleagues, who reviewed 109 papers. Organic farms were less polluting for a given area of land, but were often more polluting per unit of food produced. They did have better soil, though, and housed more species (Journal of Environmental Management, https://www.sodocs.net/doc/fc3223667.html,/h8v). "An 'organic' label is not a straightforward guarantee of the most environmentally friendly product," says Tuomisto. She advocates integrated farming, combining a range of existing systems. "Advanced breeding technologies, combined with the best farming practices from organic and conventional systems, could have the best overall impact in terms of improving crop yield and sustainability," says Dale Sanders, director of the John Innes Centre in Norwich, UK https://www.sodocs.net/doc/fc3223667.html,/world/2012/sep/07/syria-daraya-massacre-ghost-town Syria crisis: Daraya massacre leaves a ghost town still counting its dead

(Reuters ) - Queen Elizabeth's 90-year-old husband spent Christmas Day in a hospital bed after successful surgery to clear a blocked heart artery, missing the royal family's celebrations at its rural Sandringham estate in eastern England. Buckingham Palace said Prince Philip, Britain's longest serving consort, was in "good spirits" when the Queen and other royals visited him on Saturday, but he was also said to be eager to leave. Members of the royal family were expected to make another trip to the Papworth heart and chest centre near Cambridge to see Philip after their traditional Christmas lunch on Sunday, British media reported. The prince will probably have to spend most, if not all, of the Christmas holiday period in hospital to give doctors time to monitor his recovery from the minor operation on Friday night, after he suffered chest pains in the run-up to Christmas. Despite his age, he has been in generally good health this year, seeing through a hectic schedule which included the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, a jaunt to Australia and a visit from U.S. President Barack Obama. On turning 90 in June, he said he was looking forward to slowing down a little, but the Queen, 85, celebrates her 60th year on the throne in 2012, which will involve a busy tour across Britain and several other high-profile engagements. The royals, including newly-weds Prince William and Catherine, attended a Christmas church service at Sandringham on Sunday. The family appeared relaxed, some smiling and chatting as they entered the church. Well-wishers waited outside in mild winter air to catch a glimpse of the royals as they arrived. (Reporting by Matt Falloon; Editing by Alistair Lyon) Sun Dec 25, 2011 Questions: 1,When did William and Catherine married? They married in 2011. 2,Does Prince Philip can really slow down in 2012? No,because the Queen will celebrate her 60th year on the throne in 2012，and he will be some busy!
