BBC新闻100篇BBC News Item 1 政治：英国首相确定大选时间The BBC has learned that the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has decided that the British general election will take place on May 6th. Mr. Brown will go to Buckingham Palace tomorrow Tuesday to ask Queen Elizabeth to dissolve parliament, and then make a formal announcement of the election date. That will start the official election campaign, which, a BBC correspondent says, will be dominated by issues of taxation and spending in the wake of the global recession.BBC News Item 2 政治：大选在即，布朗遭遇挑战Less than six months before a general election in Britain, the governing Labour Party is embroiled again in internal strife. Two former cabinet ministers have called for secret ballot of members to decide whether the Prime Minister Gordon Brown should continue as party leader. Mr. Brown has called a general election by June this year. Our political correspondent Rob Watson reports.The two former cabinet ministers Geoff Hoon and Patricia Hewitt had stunned everyone at Westminster with their last-minute efforts to challenge Gordon Brown’s leadership. But Downing Street and Labour Party officials have moved quickly to quash any revolts. Most importantly, current cabinet ministers have come out and backed the prime minister, orbiting some cases with little apparent enthusiasm. So the latest challenge looks likely to be short lift. Although many within the Labour Party doubt Mr. Brown’s leadership qualities, they also seem to think it would only make things worse to get rid of him before the general election.BBC News Item 3 军事：英国核缩减计划The British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is offering to scale back Britain’s nuclear deterrence if an international agreement is reached to cut the world’s nuclear arsenals. Mr. Brown is expected to tell a special session of the United Nations Security Council on Thursday that he’ll be willing to give up one of four royal navy submarines that carry Trident nuclear missiles. Officials are insisting that cost isn’t a factor here. Here’s our defence correspondent Nick Childs.Gordon Brown is saying he’ll be ready to throw part of the trident force into the port in the context of a much bigger global disarmament deal. He said so in general terms before. This offer though is more concrete. There is a growing sense that to avoid what some fear could be a sudden cascade of new nuclear states, the established nuclear powers need to do more in terms of disarmament to keep the proliferation regime intact. The Prime Minister will hope his move will be seen as an important gesture. But the key to the process will be the actions of the big players, the United States and Russia.BBC News Item 4 军事：英国派军阿富汗The British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is expected to confirm that he is sending hundreds more troops to Afghanistan, bringing the total number of British troops there to about 9,500. Britain has the second largest NATO contingent in Afghanistan after the United States. Our defensecorrespondent Caroline Wyatt reports.In his statement on Afghanistan, it’s believed Mr. Brown will say he’s agreed in principle to send around 500 extra British troops to Helmand. The military advice says that extra forces are needed to help maintain progress and dominate the ground more effectively to keep the Taliban out of key areas. However, there will be caveats. The Prime Minister will want assurances from military chiefs that the extra troops will be properly equipped. But he’ll also expect Britain’s NATO partners to follow suit by offering more forces themselves. NATO defense ministers are likely to discuss troop levels on a meeting formally in Bratislava next week.BBC News Item 5 经济：欧美股市大跌Stock markets in Europe and the United States have fallen sharply in response to further signs that the debt crisis in Greece is intensifying and could spread to other countries. Share prices in New York, London, Frankfurt and Paris fell by more than 2% after a major international credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s downgraded Greek debt to a level known informally as junk. Nils Blythe has more.Standard & Poor’s downgraded its assessment of Greek bonds to the so-called junk status because of the growing danger that the bond holders will not be paid back in full. Many big investment funds have rules that forbid them from holding junk bonds, says the move is likely to trigger a further round of selling. Share markets have taken fright, fearing that if Greece does default on its debts, it would hit many European banks which hold Greek bonds and could trigger a wider financial crisis. Already pressure is mounting on Portugal which has also seen its credit rating downgraded today, although it remains above junk status.BBC News Item 6 经济：IMF要求各国进一步稳定全球金融体系The International Monetary Fund has told governments across the world that further action is needed to help return the global financial system to stability. In a fresh estimate of the scale of the problem, the IMF says global losses on toxic assets could total four trillion dollars. Andrew Walker reports.This report does identify what it calls some early signs of stabilization in financial systems, but there are not many of them. And the IMF says further action will be needed if they’re to be sustained. In two key areas, it says that progress by governments has been piecemeal and reactive, dealing with the problem assets held by financial institutions and how to handle banks that need extra capital. For that problem the report says temporary government ownership may sometime be necessary.BBC News Item 7 经济：德国给予希腊财政援助Officials in Germany say the total financial aid package for Greece could be more than double, the 60 billion dollars that is previously expected. The head of the International Monetary Fund Dominique Strauss-Kahn is in Berlin trying to persuade Germany to agree to the financial rescue plan. He said the deal needed to be implemented quickly as the situation was getting worse every day and could affect other European countries. But the German Chancellor Angola Merkel said Berlin needed to be searching that Greece was serious about spending cuts.BBC News Item 8 经济：IMF正努力帮助希腊解决债务问题The head of the International Monetary Fund says Greece has nothing to fear from the organization. At a news conference in Washington, Dominique Strauss-Kahn said the IMF was trying to provide Greece with the advice and resources necessary to help with its debt problem. Andrew Walker reports from Washington.Mr. Strauss-Kahn was responding to a Greek journalist who said the Greek public are demonizing the IMF that they fear things will be worse with IMF involvement. The agency has a reputation for requiring borrowing countries to make deep cuts in popular government spending programs. Mr. Strauss-Kahn said the Greek people should think of the IMF as a cooperative organization where the countries of the world work together to help those in trouble by providing resources and advice on behalf of the international community.BBC News Item 9 经济：G20财政部长达成协议Finance ministers of the world’s leading industrialized and developing countries, the G20, have agreed to continue supporting the global economic recovery. In a statement released after their meeting in Scotland, the ministers said conditions had improved, but economic and financial recovery was uneven and unemployment a worry. Andrew Walker reports.The communiqué avoids complacency. Although economic and financial conditions have improved, they decided they still need to keep up the initiatives intended to restore growth. The meeting was, however, rather overshadowed by a statement from the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, suggesting a tax on financial transactions as one of a number of options for making banks pay for the crisis. His calls have been received politely by the finance ministers but several made remarks which suggest that other ways of tackling the problem are rather more likely to be adopted.BBC News Item 10 经济：欧盟达成协议，终止了香蕉贸易争端The European Union has initialed an agreement to end one of the world’s longest-running trade disputes over bananas. The EU, the world’s biggest importer of bananas, is to cut the duty it imposes on Latin American producers of the fruit, while bananas grows in former European colonies will gradually lose the preferential terms they’ve enjoyed. Andrew Walker reports.The deal signed in Geneva commits the European Union to gradually lowering the tariffs it imposes on bananas imported mainly from Latin America. The cut will be over a third by 2017. That will reduce the competitive advantage of a group of countries, mainly former colonies of EU states in Africa and Caribbean, which enjoyed tariff-free access. The EU plans to provide those countries with some compensation, in a shape of nearly 300,000 dollars in additional aid.BBC News Item 11 科技：太阳能飞机The long-awaited take-off of the Solar Impulse was greeted with delight by those who have spent the last seven years working on it.The solar-powered plane has the wing-span of a jumbo jet, but weighs less than a family car.It doesn’t use a single drop of aviation fuel, instead its giant wings are covered with solar cells.The project is the brainchild of Swiss adventurer Bertrand Piccard —he sees the SolarImpulse as a sign of things to come.BBC News Item 12 教育：英国学校开设学普通话课程It’s the world’s fastest growing economy and shows no sign of slowing down, so striking deals with Chinese businesses is now the top priority for every British company that wants to stay ahead in global trade. Now schools in the United Kingdom want to give their students a head start by teaching them Mandarin —and they are making it compulsory.Brighton College is a fee paying private school on the south coast of Britain and already teaches Latin, Spanish and French to its 1,200 pupils. Students can choose between these languages, but from the autumn, which is the beginning of the new academic year in British schools, every student must study Mandarin whether they like it or not.BBC News Item 13 娱乐：奥斯卡大赢家英国The cast and crew of British movies will no longer be hailed as the underdogs at awards ceremonies. At the recent 81st Oscars ceremony, British actors and movies won no less than 11 awards.The list of Oscar winners is usually dominated by American films and actors but 2009 has seen a more international flavour to the ceremony. British actors and actresses have long awaited such global recognition. Kate Winslet was nominated six times for an Oscar before she eventually won the Best Actress award at this year’s ceremony.Slumdog Millionaire lived up to its status as a global success and movie phenomenon. The low-budget movie swept the board winning eight Oscars, including Best Director and Best Picture. The movie, which documents the life of a young Indian boy after he wins a TV game show, has definitely helped to raise the profile of the British film industry.Summarising the national feeling, British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, issued a statement saying “Britain is showing it has the talent to lead the world”.BBC News Item 14 人物：英女王也是网民It might seem like an unlikely match —an ancient institution getting to grips with cutting edge technology —but the British royal family has been active online for more than a decade.They launched their own website in 1997. The Queen’s Christmas message is available as a podcast, and a year ago the official Royal Channel was launched on YouTube, showing videos of the family at work.Royal watchers describe the 82 year old Queen as a silver surfer —someone who’s enthusiastic about the internet and who keeps in touch with younger members of her family by email.BBC News Item 15 体育：伦敦马拉松This weekend, around 35,000 runners filled the streets of London, running the 26th annual London Marathon. The course is 26.2 miles long (42 km), and goes past many of London’s landmarks, such as the Tower of London, the famous 19th century ship Cutty Sark, the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace. The runners actually run over Tower Bridge.BBC News Item 16 体育：牛津剑桥划船赛Oxford and Cambridge are the oldest and most famous universities in Britain, and there has always been a great rivalry between the two institutions. But the most public competition between the two is the annual Boat Race. The 2006 Boat Race will take place on 2nd April, and will be the 152nd race of its kind.Both universities are located near rivers, and rowing is a popular and prestigious sport. The very first race took place in 1829, when a Cambridge student challenged a school-friend studying at Oxford. Ever since, the defeated team from the previous year challenges the opposition to a rematch. The only times when no Boat Races took place were during the First and Second World Wars.BBC News Item 17 政治：美国民主党得到参议院60个席位President Obama’s Democratic Party has secured the critical 60 seat majority in the US Senate that can help it override any Republican obstructions on Capitol Hill. This happened when the Democrats won the last undecided senate seat from November’s election after the Supreme Court in the state of Minnesota declared the Democratic candidate Al Franken the winner. Richard Lister reports from Washington.For almost eight months the two candidates had been locked in a bitter fight in the Minnesota Courts over the result of November’s Senate election. Just a few hundred votes separated them after the 2.8 million cast. The initial count favoured the Republican Norm Coleman but the recount gave the majority to his Democratic Party rival Al Franken. And the State Supreme Court is now upheld that verdict. His victory gives the Democrats 60 votes in the senate and the potential to overturn Republican efforts to block legislation.BBC News Item 18 政治：美国和以色列关系面临考验Reports in Israeli media say Israel’s ambassador to the United States Michael Oren told Israeli diplomats that American-Israeli relations were facing a crisis of historic proportions. Washington is furious at last week’s announcement by Israel during a visit by the US Vice President that more new Jewish homes were to be built in occupied East Jerusalem. But on Monday, the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the Israeli parliament the building project would continue. Paul Wood reports from Jerusalem.Mr. Netanyahu has been presented with a choice, a breach with the right-wing members of his coalition, or with the Americans. With his speech to the Knesset, he seems to have chosen to put the needs of domestic politics first. It seems the Americans are so angry because they believe Mr. Netanyahu went back on an understanding. This was apparently that Israel would not push forward of any big new settlement building projects in East Jerusalem. This was necessary of the Palestinians were to be persuaded to join the long delayed negotiations so painstakingly put together by US mediators.BBC News Item 19 军事：美国将继续驻军阿富汗Leading United States officials have said the American military will continue its presence in Afghanistan for a number of years despite beginning to withdraw in 2011. In a series of mediareappearances, officials stressed that the date should be seen as the beginning of handing over responsibility to Afghan forces. Imtiaz Tyab report from Washington.Speaking on a Sunday morning political chat show, the Defense Secretary Robert Gates said that despite President Obama’s plan to begin withdrawing the troops from the region in July, 2011, the US was likely to maintain a significant military presence in Afghanistan for a number of years. The Defense Secretary said the pullout date was said to underline the urgent need for the Afghans to speed up recruiting and training soldiers and getting them into the field. A comment’s followed criticism from opposition Republicans who say announcing a withdraw date sent a dangerous signal to insurgents.BBC News Item 20 政治：奥巴马推迟访问印尼和澳大利亚President Obama is postponing a trip to Indonesia and Australia, so he can stay in Washington to try to get his health care reforms pass by congress. Mr. Obama had already delayed the long arranged trip once and was due to set off on Sunday. But with the crucial vote on the reform is expected within days, the trip has been put off entirely until June. From Washington Mark Martell reports.The president’s make changes to American health care insurance system, his flagship domestic legislation is dragged on for over a year and divided the country. He will be damaged if he can’t get it through. The climax is near, so far there is no sign of any republicans voting for it, its fate lies in the hands of handful in the president’s own party, who either feel it allows for easier abortion or who simply fear a back lash in November’s elections, if they vote for a measures their constitution dislike.BBC News Item 21 政治：英国新首相After days of political horse-trading the UK finally has a new government and a new Prime Minister, following the resignation of Labour’s Gordon Brown on Tuesday evening.Since last Thursday’s general election resulted in a hung parliament, a situation in which none of the political parties has an overall majority, British politicians have been attempting to form a coalition government.Such a government is comparatively rare in the UK. Indeed this is the first coalition since the Second World War.BBC News Item 22 军事：奥巴马对核安全峰会的评价President Barack Obama says the summit conference on nuclear security which has just ended in Washington was a testament to what is possible when nations come together.

The Securities and Exchange Commission is taking civil action against the bank. Michelle Fleury sent this report from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.The Securities and Exchange Commission alleges the bank sold investors a financial product based on subprime mortgages that was designed to lose value. Goldman Sachs has denied the allegations and says it will defend the firm and its reputation. This is the first time that the US government has explicitly accused one of Wall Street’s premier institutions of fraud relating to the collapse of the US housing market.BBC News Item 27 经济：美国财政官员失职An investigation of United States has found that the country’s top financial regulator, the Securities and the Exchange Commissioner SEC, fail to uncover the 65 billion dollar fraud carried out by the convicted financier Bernard Madoff over a 16-year period, despite 5 separate investigations in his business dealings. Greg Wood reports.The report by the SEC’s expected general David Kotz reads like a catalog of bungled opportunities to catch Bernard Madoff, long before he owned up to the largest fraud in US history. He was investigated five times. SEC staff caught him in lies but failed to follow them up. They rejected offers from whistleblowers to provide additional evidence. Many of the investigators were inexperienced. The scale of the SEC’s incompetence is laid bare by this report.BBC News Item 28 经济：美国银行同意支付罚款了结控诉The Bank of America has agreed to pay 33 million dollars to settle accusations by the US government over billions of dollars of bonuses paid out last year by its investment on Merrill Lynch.

Peter Bolger reports.California has a budget shortfall of 26 billion dollars. State workers have been put on short time and many social and education services have been cut. The state has even resorted to issuing IOUs to companies it does business with and to individuals who are owed tax refunds. Governor Schwarzenegger described the comprised deal as a basic agreement to close the state’s huge deficit. He and fellow Republicans have refused to raise taxes, all the opposition Democrats said fought to preserve social services.BBC News Item 30 军事：美国德州军事基地枪击案The United States army has formally charged the military officer accused of carrying out last week’s mass shooting at the Fort Hood military base in Texas. The officer, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, an army psychiatrist, has been under armed guard in a hospital since being wounded in the shooting. Mathew Prize reports from New York.There are still many questions surrounding the mass shooting at the America’s largest military base, but one of them has now been answered. Major Nidal Hasan, an army psychiatrist who was due to be deployed to Afghanistan, has been charged with 13 counts of murder. That could rise if prosecutors decide also to charge him with the murder of an unborn child being carried by one of his victims. He will be prosecuted in a military court. If convicted, he could face the death penalty, although no one has actually been executed under the US military justice system for almost 50 years.BBC News Item 31 军事：奥巴马就军事基地枪击案发言President Barack Obama has told memorial service at the Fort hood army base in Texas that United States must never forget the 13 men and women who died in the shooting there last week. He said the killings couldn’t be justified.“It may be hard to comprehend the twisted logic that led to this tragedy. But this much we do know no faith justifies these murderous and craven acts. No just and loving god looks upon them with favor. For what is done we know the killer will be met with justice in this world and the next.”The president paid tribute to those who’d been not able, as he put it, “to escape the horror of war, even in the comfort of home.”BBC News Item 32 科技：美国奋进号航天飞机升空The American Space Shuttle Endeavor has blasted off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on its sixth attempt after more than a month of delays caused by fuel leaks and thunderstorms.

One of the panel members Li Ruoqiao says the space agency NASA hasn’t been given enough funds to realize the plans.“That is when the visions for space aspirations were first announced in 2004 there was expectation of a certain budget level of the next several years. In fact over the last five years those numbers are nothing realized. So because of that we are in a pickle that we are in now.”The experts say the current budget of the space agency NASA would need to be increased by billions of dollars. Without the extra money, the experts say, NASA would have to work with private companies now trying to embark on commercial space flights.BBC News Item 34 灾难：美国加州森林大火Wildfires are a feature of the California Summer but it’s unusual for them to break out so close to major centers of population. It’s hot here and getting hotter which is driving the brush making it all the more in cindery, and forecast is such that there has been a speculation it could take firefighters a week to bring this blaze under control. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is pleading with people in the path of the flames to evacuate as soon as they’re told to do so.BBC News Item 35 政治：抗议苏丹总统选举Most of the main opposition parties in Sudan are withdrawing from all the elections this month —the first multi-party elections since 1986. They won’t take part because of concerns about fraud and security. On Wednesday, the presidential candidate for the former southern rebels Yassir Arman pulled out.

Earlier today, they told the BBC they would boycott the presidential elections in protest of what they believe will not be free and fair polls. Now several of the parties have decided not to compete in the parliamentary or state elections either. The decision strikes a real blow at the credibility of elections which were meant to hold the democratic transformation in Sudan.BBC News Item 36 军事：苏丹达尔富尔问题In what’s been seen as a significant step towards peace in Darfur, the Sudanese government has signed a temporary ceasefire agreement with JAM, one of the main rebel factions.

BBC News Item 2 政治：大选在即，布朗遭遇挑战Less than six months before a general election in Britain, the governing Labour Party isembroiled again in internal strife. Two former cabinet ministers have called for secret ballot ofmembers to decide whether the Prime Minister Gordon Brown should continue as party leader. Mr.Brown has called a general election by June this year. Our political correspondent Rob Watsonreports.The two former cabinet ministers Geoff Hoon and Patricia Hewitt had stunned everyone atWestminster with their last-minute efforts to challenge Gordon Brown’s leadership. But DowningStreet and Labour Party officials have moved quickly to quash any revolts. Most importantly,current cabinet ministers have come out and backed the prime minister, orbiting some cases withlittle apparent enthusiasm. So the latest challenge looks likely to be short lift. Although manywithin the Labour Party doubt Mr. Brown’s leadership qualities, they also seem to think it wouldonly make things worse to get rid of him before the general election.BBC News Item 3 军事：英国核缩减计划The British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is offering to scale back Britain’s nucleardeterrence if an international agreement is reached to cut the world’s nuclear arsenals. Mr. Brown isexpected to tell a special session of the United Nations Security Council on Thursday that he’ll bewilling to give up one of four royal navy submarines that carry Trident nuclear missiles. Officialsare insisting that cost isn’t a factor here. Here’s our defence correspondent Nick Childs.Gordon Brown is saying he’ll be ready to throw part of the trident force into the port in thecontext of a much bigger global disarmament deal. He said soin general terms before. This offerthough is more concrete. There is a growing sense that to avoid what some fear could be a suddencascade of new nuclear states, the established nuclear powers need to do more in terms ofdisarmament to keep the proliferation regime intact. The Prime Minister will hope his move will beseen as an important gesture. But the key to the process will be the actions of the big players, theUnited States and Russia.BBC News Item 4 军事：英国派军阿富汗The British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is expected to confirm that he is sending hundredsmore troops to Afghanistan, bringing the total number of British troops there to about 9,500. Britainhas the second largest NATO contingent in Afghanistan after the United States.

The military advice says that extra forces areneeded to help maintain progress and dominate the ground more effectively to keep the Taliban outof key areas. However, there will be caveats. The Prime Minister will wantassurances frommilitary chiefs that the extra troops will be properly equipped. But he’ll also expect Britain’s NATOpartners to follow suit by offering more forces themselves. NATO defense ministers are likely todiscuss troop levels on a meeting formally in Bratislava next week.英国首相戈登预计将确认他将向阿富汗派遣更多军队，使英国军队总数约9500。

BBC News Item 1政治：美国民主党得到参议院60 个席位President Obama’s Democratic Party has secured the critical 60 seat majority in the US Senate that can help it override any Republican obstructions on Capitol Hill. This happened when the Democrats won the last undecided senate seat from November’s election after the Supreme Court in the state of Minnesota declared the Democratic candidate Al Franken the winner. Richard Listerreports from Washington.For almost eight months the two candidates had been locked in a bitter fight in the Minnesota Courts over the result of November’s Senate election. Just a few hundred votes separated them after the 2.8 million cast. The initial count favoured the Republican Norm Coleman but the recount gave the majority to his Democratic Party rival Al Franken. And the State Supreme Court is now upheld that verdict. His victory gives the Democrats 60 votes in the senate and the potential to overturn Republican efforts to block legislation.BBC News Item 2 政治：美国和以色列关系面临考验Reports in Israeli media say Israel’s ambassador to the United States Michael Oren told Israeli diplomats that American-Israeli relations were facing a crisis of historic proportions. Washington is furious at last week’s announcement by Israel during a visit by the US Vice President that more new Jewish homes were to be built in occupied East Jerusalem. But on Monday, the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the Israeli parliament the building project would continue. Paul Wood reports from Jerusalem.Mr. Netanyahu has been presented with a choice, a breach with the right-wing members of his coalition, or with the Americans. With his speech to the Knesset, he seems to have chosen to put the needs of domestic politics first. It seems the Americans are so angry because they believe Mr. Netanyahu went back on an understanding. This was apparently that Israel would not push forward of any big new settlement building projects in East Jerusalem. This was necessary of the Palestinians were to be persuaded to join the long delayed negotiations so painstakingly put together by US mediators.BC News Item 3 政治：奥巴马推迟访问印尼和澳大利亚President Obama is postponing a trip to Indonesia and Australia, so he can stay in Washington to try to get his health care reforms pass by congress. Mr. Obama had already delayed the long arranged trip once and was due to set off on Sunday. But with the crucial vote on the reform is expected within days, the trip has been put off entirely until June. From Washington Mark Martell reports.The president’s make changes to American health care insurance system, his flagship domestic legislation is dragged on for over a year and divided the country.He will be damaged if he can’t get it through. The climax is near, so far there is no sign of any republicans voting for it, its fate lies in the hands of handful in the president’s own party, who either feel it allows for easier abortion or who simply fear a back lash in November’s elections, if they vote for a measures their constitution dislike.BBC News Item 4 政治：英国新首相After days of political horse-trading the UK finally has a new government and a new Prime Minister, following the resignation of La bour’s Gordon Brown on Tuesday evening.Since last Thursday’s general election resulted in a hung parliament, a situation in which none of the political parties has an overall majority, British politicians have been attempting to form a coalition government.Such a government is comparatively rare in the UK. Indeed this is the first coalition since the Second World War.BBC News Item 5 经济：美国财政官员失职An investigation of United States has found that the country’s top financial regulator, the Securities and the Exchange Commissioner SEC, fail to uncover the 65 billion dollar fraud carried out by the convicted financier Bernard Madoff over a 16-year period, despite 5 separate investigations in his business dealings. Greg Wood reports.The report by the SEC’s expe cted general David Kotz reads like a catalog of bungled opportunities to catch Bernard Madoff, long before he owned up to the largest fraud in US history. He was investigated five times. SEC staff caught him in lies but failed to follow them up. They rejected offers from whistleblowers to provide additional evidence. Many of the investigators were inexperienced. The scale of the SEC’s incompetence is laid bare by this report.BBC News Item 6 经济：美国银行同意支付罚款了结控诉The Bank of America has agreed to pay 33 million dollars to settle accusations by the US government over billions of dollars of bonuses paid out last year by its investment on Merrill Lynch.Bank of America took over Merrill Lynch to save it from collapse in a deal backed by American taxpayers’ money. John Bithry reports.Bank of America had promised its shareholders that no bonuses would be paid to bankers at Merrill Lynch without its express permission. It’s agreed to buy the struggling investment bank in September. On the same weekend that talks to save Lehman Brothers from collapse failed. Like Lehman, Merrill Lynch was brought to itsknees by debt links to the US housing market that became toxic and lost its value. But after Merrill was rescued by BOA, it went ahead and paid its staff 3.6 billion dollars in bonuses anyway. Shortly afterwards Bank of America was forced to go to the government for billions of dollars in extra taxpayer support, and the revelation of the payments caused a public outcry.BBC News Item 7 经济：加州财政预算出了问题After weeks of negotiations, the governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger has reached an outline agreement with legislative leaders on a plan to tackle the state’s massive budget shortfall. The deal, which will have to be approved by the state legislature, includes plans for billions of dollars in budget cuts, but no tax rises. Peter Bolger reports.California has a budget shortfall of 26 billion dollars. State workers have been put on short time and many social and education services have been cut. The state has even resorted to issuing IOUs to companies it does business with and to individuals who are owed tax refunds. Governor Schwarzenegger described the comprised deal as a basic agreement to close the state’s huge deficit. He and fellow Republicans have refused to raise taxes, all the opposition Democrats said fought topreserve social services.BBC News Item 8 政治：乌克兰声称发现俄国间谍Ukraine says that the five alleged Russian spies were caught with a camera concealed inside a pen, other espionage equipment and $2000 — a reported bribe for a Ukrainian contact.The head of Ukraine’s security service says that the five were trying to obtain military secrets. Four of them have been expelled from Ukraine, while the fifth has been detained.Russia’s security service, the FSB, has confirmed the detention, but denied the Ukrainian version of events. The FSB said its actions were a response to the recruitment of Russians by the Ukrainian security services.The mutual recriminations come at a highly sensitive time. Just two weeks ago, Russia sent an ambassador to Ukraine after a five month absence. And on Sunday, Ukrainians will vote in an election to choose a successor to the outgoing President, Viktor Yushchenko.Mr. Yushchenko’s time in office has been marked by strained relations with Moscow, and his departure was being seen as an opportunity for an improvement in ties between the two countries.BBC News Item 9 军事：俄国总统对美国导弹计划的意见The Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has welcomed the announcement byPresident Obama that the United States is shelving plans for a missile defensive system in Europe. He said President Obama had taken a responsible step by abandoning plans to base long range interceptors in Poland and the Czech Republic. BBC News Item 10 政治：伊朗总统连任Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been sworn in for a second term as Iranian President. However hundreds of opposition supporters disputing the election result gathered outside the parliament defying an official ban on protests. John Iion reports.In a ceremony broadcast live on state TV, Mr. Ahmadinejad took the oath of office as prescribed in the Iranian constitution. He went on to defend the election result. The speaker of parliament Ali Larijani criticised the west for their hastiness in condemning the result. But outside, opposition protesters gathered to give their contrary view. They were met by hundreds of riot police.Western countries declined to give their official congratulations, though ambassadors from Britain and the European Union were present.BBC News Item 11 军事：伊朗核计划The head of the UN nuclear agency Mohamed ElBaradei has given Iran and three world powers the text of a draft deal aimed at reducing concerns about Iran’s nuclear programme. The IAEA wants Iran to allow most of its uranium to be shipped abroad for further enrichment before being returned for use in a civilian research reactor. Jon Leyne reports.The deal would mean Iran gets the fuel it needs and stays off pressure for more sanctions. The outside world sees Iran’s enriched uranium taken out of the coun try and processed in a way that will make it more difficult for Iran to make nuclear bombs. But Iran’s still not signed up publicly onthe crucial element, the shipping out of Iran of its precious stocks of enriched uranium, and that could be hard for the Iranian government to accept, in light of the prestige President Ahmadinejad has attached to the nuclear programme.BBC News Item 12 军事：联合国出台伊朗问题协议草案Iran has agreed to let inspectors from the United Nations Nuclear Agency visit its recently rebuilt second uranium enrichment plant. They will go there on Oct. 25th, the day was set during a visit to Tehran by the head of the agency Mohammed ElBaradei. The revelation last month said Iran was building an underground facility near Qom heightened internation al concern that it’s secretly trying to developenuclear weapons. But Mr. ElBaradei gave an upbeat assessment to relations with Iran.I have been saying for a number of years that we need transparency on the part of Iran. We need co-operation on the part of the international community. So I see that we are at the critical moment. I see that we are shifting gears from confrontation into transparency and co-operation.In Washington President Obama’s top security advisor said things appeared to be moving in theright direction.BBC News Item 13 政治：吉尔吉斯坦反对派建立临时政府There’s been a day of bloodshed and turmoil in Kyrgyzstan with th e opposition saying it set up an interim government. However it is still not clear who is in controlor where President Kurmanbek Bakiyev is. Rayham Demytrie sent out this report from the capital, Bishkek.As night fell, widespread looting began in the Kyrgyz capital Bishkek, hundreds of protesters were moving from one shop to another, setting buildings on fire and causing more chaos on the ground. Random gunshots could be heard all across Bishkek. An interim government has been set up in Kyrgyzstan. It is being led by an opposition leader Roza Otunbayeva. In a comment of a Russian TV channel she said that the situation in the country remains tense and difficult. Early on Wednesday, the country’s prime minister resigned. Some reports suggest that the Kyrgyz’s President Kurmanbek Bakiyev is in the south of the country in the city of Osh.BBC News Item 14 政治：吉尔吉斯坦总统拒绝辞职The Kyrgyzstan President Kurmanbek Bakiyev has refused to admit defeat after his political opponents dissolved parliament and demanded his resignation. Latest reports from the capital Bishkek say there was heavy shooting as night fell. From Bishkek, Richard Galpin now reports. After the bloodshed yesterday, this morningthe main leaders of the opposition announced they’ve taken control of the c ountry, forming a temporary government and dissolving parliament. But at a news conference here in the capital, they admitted there were concerns that the president was trying to rally his supporters in the south of the country in order to fight back. The opposition wanted him to resign immediately, but Mr.Bakiyev has told BBC he has no intention of quitting and still considers himself to be president.BBC News Item 15 社会：缅甸某罪犯获释引发讨论Burmese officials have hinted many times that Aung San Suu Kyi may be released.But it’s the first time in recent months that a putative date has been attached to the idea.The comments are reported to have been made by a senior minister at a provincial town meeting four days ago. It’s a measure of how tightly information is c ontrolled in Burma that it’s taken this long for the reports to filter out.Aung San Suu Kyi’s own lawyer told the BBC he’d heard the rumour but could not confirm it. And if indeed she is released in November, key questions about the terms of Aung San Suu Kyi’s possible freedom remain. Would there be conditions attached? Would her activities be restricted? And, crucially, would her release come before or after planned elections?There is also the matter of the legal appeal against Aung San Suu Kyi’s current detention. The Supreme Court is due to deliver its verdict in the next couple of weeks. But if the military government says she’ll continue to be detained until at least November, the court’s decision has been somewhat undermined.BBC News Item 16 社会：韩国鼓励生育Forget that still unwritten report or the backlog of paperwork building up on the desk, on this cold and rainy mid-week night there can be no excuses to stay late in the office. South Korea’s Ministry of Health, Welfare and Family Affairs will be turn ing off all the lights at 7pm in a bid to force staff to go home to their families and, well, make bigger ones. It will repeat the experiment once a month.The country now has one of the world’s lowest birth rates, lower even than neighbouring Japan，and boosting the number of newborn children is a priority for this government, staring into theabyss of a rapidly ageing society, falling levels of manpower and spiralling health care costs. The Ministry of Health, now sometimes jokingly referred to as the “Ministry of Matchmaking”,is in charge of spearheading that drive and it clearly believes its staff should lead by example. Generous gift vouchers are on offer for officials who have more than one child and the department organises social gatherings in the hope of fostering love amongst its bureaucrats. But critics say what is really needed is wide-scale reform to tackle the burdensome cost of childcare and education that puts many young people off from starting a family.BBC News Item 17 灾难：冰岛火山烟尘逐渐减少As forecasters say that a cloud of volcanic dust spreading from Iceland across Europe show some signs of moving, officials have expressed hope that up to half of all flights across Europe could operate on Monday. The European Transport Commissioner and Spanish minister for Europe were speaking after talks with the air traffic agency, Eurocontrol. Warren Bull reports.After adopting a cautious approach up till now, the airline industry has increasingly pushed the European authorities to end the flight restrictions which have caused travel chaos in Europe and beyond. Several airlines, including KLM and Lufthansa, have expressed anger that the decision to ground flights appears to have been taken solely on the basis of the computer simulation. They say they’ve car ried out their own test flights and reported no problems. Conscious of a need to show strong leadership over the air travel crisis, European Union transport ministers are expected to hold an emergency video conference on Monday.BBC News Item 18 灾难：菲律宾洪水泛滥Officials in the Philippines say at least a hundred people have died in floods and landslides in the north triggered by a week of heavy rain. This follows two storms in the past two weeks which have already left about three hundred people dead. Reports said that even some evacuation centers had been flooded. Danny Vincent reports from the capital Manila.Officials say that 30 cities were hit by the landslide through the night where residents taken to the rooftops of their houses for refuge. The northern Philippines have been pounded by heavy rain following the second typhoon in just over a week to hit the nation. Typhoon Parma has lingered in the north of the country turning into a tropical depression. It follows Typhoon Ketsana which killedmore than 300 people when it’s hit on September 26.BBC News Item 19 灾难：南太平洋海啸The Prime Minister of Samoa says 77 people were killed and 150 injured by a tsunami in the South Pacific. At least 24 people died on American Samoa. Thousands of people’s homes have been destroyed and the final number of deaths is expected to be higher as Phil Mercer reports from Sydney.A brutal act of nature has shattered parts of Samoa and neighboring American Samoa. The rescue effort is continuing with pledges of international support led by the United States. The number of dead has slowly increased since the tsunami struck after dawn and there are fears it will keep on rising as emergency teams reach isolated areas. Foreign tourists including a British toddler and a 6-year-old Australian girl are among the deads. Officials believe that many of the victims were washed out to sea as their homes were destroyed by waves reportedly up to 11 meters high.BBC News Item 20 宗教：马来西亚首都基督教堂接连遭纵火The latest attack, on an Evangelical Christian church, caused limited physical damage — just a burned door and a charred entranceway. But the politicali mplications may be more serious. Tensions have flared after Malaysia’s High Court ruled that a Roman Catholic newspaper, the Herald, was permitted to use the word “Allah” to describe God in its Malay language editions. Muslim groups argue that Christians using a word so closely associated with Islam could be a ploy to win converts.Christians make up around 9% of the population in the majority Muslim state. Most non-Muslims are ethnically Indian or Chinese. The row over the use of the word “Allah” has expo sed deep resentments over the treatment of minorities and freedom of religion in Malaysia. A government minister told foreign diplomats on Monday the church attacks were the work of extremists. “These were not just attacks on houses of worship” he said, “t hese were attacks on the values and freedoms all Malaysians share.” Under the slogan “One Malaysia”, the government has made racial harmony a central policy. Its commitment to that policy is now being severely tested.。

20121201BBCBBC News with Sue Montgomery.Israel has authorized the construction of 3,000 new homes on occupied Palestinian land a day after the United Nations General Assembly voted to revise the status of the Palestinians to that of non-member observer state. US officials have condemned the Israeli move as counterproductive. Kevin Connolly reports.就在联合国大会表决批准巴勒斯坦为非会员观察国后，以色列授权在被占领的巴勒斯坦领土上建设3000处新房屋。
美国官方称以色列的动作将事与愿违。
Kevin Connolly报道。
Israel has been struggling to calibrate its reactions to the Palestinian campaign for upgraded status of the United Nations. But it clearly felt that allowing the development to pass without some form of political response would be seen as a sign of weakness. So it has announced its granting permission for 3,000 new homes in the west bank in eastern Jerusalem and speeding up the processing of a further 1,000 existing planning applications. The Palestinians and the overwhelming majority of the international community see the area in question as land occupied by Israel.以色列一直努力调整自己对巴勒斯坦提升在联合国地位活动的反应，但以色列显然认为，不作出政治回应就让巴勒斯坦得逞可能被视为软弱。

BBC News Item 5 经济：欧美股市大跌
Stock markets in Europe and the United States have fallen sharply in response to further signs that the debt crisis in Greece is intensifying and could spread to other countries. Share prices in New York, London, Frankfurt and Paris fell by more than 2% after a major international credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s downgraded Greek debt to a level known informally as junk. Nils Blythe has more. Standard & Poor’s downgraded its assessment of Greek bonds to the so-called junk status because of the growing danger that the bond holders will not be paid back in full. Many big investment funds have rules that forbid them from holding junk bonds, says the move is likely to trigger a further round of selling. Share markets have taken fright, fearing that if Greece does default on its debts, it would hit many European banks which hold Greek bonds and could trigger a wider financial crisis. Already pressure is mounting on Portugal which has also seen its credit rating downgraded today, although it remains above junk status.

dominated for the past three decades by two parties—the Conservatives,now led by David Cameron,and Labor headed by current Prime Minister Gordon Brown.But a third party,the Liberal Democrats,are turning this election into a three-horse race.Their campaign was given a major boost by Britain’s first ever televised debate last week; Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg emerged as the clear winner.Viewer polls taken after this second debate,which focused on foreign policy,showed there was no runaway victor.The last time Britain had a hung parliament was in1974.A final televised debate is

Missouri Senator Kit Bond added to the number of Republicans who have committed to voting for her.Senator Bond,who is one of several Republicans retiring from the Senate next year,said while he

been tightened around Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak after he received dozens of death threats.Security sources say the threats were made by Jewish militants who oppose the government’s partial freeze on settlement construction in the West Bank.The freeze was imposed in November under pressure from the United States,which sees the settlements as an obstacle to peace.The death threats are

the help of foreigners.Commentators say it is a clear reference to Israeli ties with the United States,which have plummeted over Jewish construction in disputed in East Jerusalem.The U.S.backs Palestinian demands that East Jerusalem should be the capital of a future Palestinian state.But Israel sees all of Jerusalem as its eternal capital,and anyahu,who heads a right-wing government,has rejected U.S.demands to stop building there.As a result,the Palestinians have refused to return to U.S.-sponsored peace talks,and the diplomatic process has been deadlocked for15months.Defense

strike has been called for next week.Opinion polls show the majority of Greeks are against an IMF-EU bailout,seeing it as foreign interference.Worries about the Greek economy’s potential meltdown have sent jitters through world markets.And help is imperative because the Greek crisis could spread.A joint EU-IMF package for Greece is put at$60billion,but some European officials said Wednesday the full cost could be much higher,reaching about$160billion over three years.VOA News Item11经济：奥巴马致华尔街：别抵制金融改革Aiming his appeal directly at the financial industry and skeptics within it,and at Republican critics in Congress,the president warned of the danger of a repeat of economic collapse.Calling the financial crisis the outcome of a failure of responsibility from Wall Street to Washington,he said the time has come to seize the moment to make fundamental changes in the rules of the financial road.With many,but not all,of the most prominent executives of Wall Street firms present,the president outlined key aspects of legislation the U.S.Senate will debate in coming days.These include steps to impose new oversight and controls on hedge funds and complex financial instruments known as derivatives,and protections for consumers of financial products.Of particular importance would be a system to ensure that troubled financial companies could be dismantled in an orderly way without

changes would be advantageous for the industry and the country.VOA News Item12经济：亚洲航空遭受冰岛火山喷发影响The International Air Transport Association says global carriers are losing an estimated$200 million a

newly-redesigned Ford Focus,and it helps promote new technology,like the electric battery in the Chevrolet Volt.But in the wake of one of the worst years for U.S.automobile sales,this year’s show has

slightly in2009,global economic output is expected to grow more than4percent this year,according to the International Monetary Fund.With a fledgling recovery gaining strength,it is easy to forget how close major industrialized nations came to economic collapse less than two years ago,an outcome that almost surely would have triggered a worldwide depression rivaling the Great Depression of the1930s.In short,the pain,havoc,and economic devastation could have been far worse,according to the head of the U.S.Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas,Texas,Richard Fisher.Addressing central bankers from Europe and elsewhere,Fisher said central banks and national governments averted catastrophe through aggressive intervention.VOA News Item17军事：以色列成功试射导弹防御系统Rocket alarms have terrified Israeli border

will install full-body scanners at Accra’s international airport by next month.Nigeria has also announced it will install the scanners at Lagos international airport.Nigerian student Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab departed from Accra and transited through Lagos and Amsterdam.He subsequently attempted to set off a bomb on a Northwest Airlines flight traveling to Detroit.Abdulmutallab successfully passed through metal detectors and hand luggage searches at both airports,allegedly by concealing powdered explosives under his clothes.The full-body scanners are more powerful than metal detectors that are standard at most airports.They can detect non-metallic materials hidden on the human body.But some rights groups consider the scanners an invasion of privacy,because they show private physical characteristics in detail.South Africa,whose airports handle the largest number of travelers flying directly between Africa and the United States,says it does not intend to install the scanners at this time.VOA News Item23科技：美国将于周二发射发现号飞船The Discovery crew is set to launch early Tuesday to deliver nearly8,000kilograms of equipment to the International Space Station.NASA engineers

Southern Ocean will help to disprove Japan’s claims that whales have to be killed to properly study them.During their six-week voyage,researchers will employ a range of techniques to unlock some of the secrets of the giant marine mammals.They will fire darts from small air rifles to collect blubber and skin for genetic testing,and to attach satellite-tracking tags to monitor the whales.Samples of dung will also be gathered, photographs taken,and acoustic instruments will record the animals’distinctive calls.VOA News Item26医学：母亲越高，孩子越健康Taller mothers are more likely to have children who are healthier—indeed,their children are more likely not just to thrive,but to survive—compared to children of shorter mothers. That’s the conclusion of a massive new study of millions of children in low-and middle-income countries.“The key finding of this paper was to show a consistent association between maternal height and offspring health,which was mainly defined in terms of offspring mortality by age five and the risk of experiencing a failure in growth.”The Harvard researcher says that while the association is clear,the“why”still needs more work.VOA News Item27医疗：联合国帮助不发达国家对抗H1N1The World Health Organization is warning countries to prepare for further spread of the H1N1influenza pandemic in coming months.However,aid agencies say it will be more difficult to fight the disease in poorer countries, which have weak health systems,poor health status and limited resources.They say countries overburdened by diseases,such as HIV/AIDS,tuberculosis and malaria, will have great difficulty dealing with the surge of pandemic flu cases.World Health Organization spokesman,Paul Garwood,says this Call to Action aims to reduce the impact of H1N1by offering a range of measures applicable to all countries.VOA News Item28医疗：美国民众对医保体系缺乏信心Americans are just as divided on health care as they were before President Obama’s health care reform legislation became law.Protesters in Washington carried signs on Thursday calling for the repeal of the legislation. They say it represents runaway spending.A new Associated Press-GfK poll shows that50percent of Americans oppose the new health care law and opposition is strongest among those64and older.Many older Americans worry that their care will be affected by cuts in federal payments to hospitals and other providers.In another survey,this one by Ipsos/Reuters,only51percent of Americans thought they could get adequate,affordable health care.The survey included people in22nations.Women, adults under the age of55and less educated people in all the countries included in the study reported low satisfaction with health care access.Yet another study showed that Americans without medical insurance,often delay going to a hospital after a heart attack.VOA News Item29教育：印度学生重新考虑去澳大利亚接受高等教育For nearly a decade,the popularity of Australian universities rose rapidly among Indian students,and the number of those heading to the country for higher education rose from about 10,000in2001to more than70,000last year.But that could change this year due to a string of negative publicity generated by attacks on Indian students in Australia.A travel advisory by the Indian government earlier this week warned that Indian students in Australia face an increased risk of assault.It was issued after an Indian graduate was stabbed to death in Melbourne.His stabbing came on the heels of a spate of attacks on Indian students in Australia in recent months,which the Indian media have dubbed as racist.It is a charge that Australian officials have strongly denied.They say the attacks are purely criminal,and the country is safe for foreign students.Nevertheless,as concerns rose in India,foreign minister S.M.Krishna called on Indians to assess their options while exploring the possibility of studying in Australia.VOA News Item30社会：法国调查电信员工自杀事件For some,the wave of suicides at France Telecom reveals the downsides of the scramble to stay competitive amid the pressures of globalization and the recent economic downturn.More than 40France Telecom employees have taken their lives since2008.Unions say that includes a dozen suicides this year alone.The probe by the Paris prosecutor’s office follows a court complaint filed by the union Solidaires Unitaires Democratic(SUD).Union lawyer Jean-Paul Tessionniere blamed working conditions at the company for the suicides.A February report by the French labor inspector’s office linked14France Telecom suicides directly to the company’s management practices.France Telecom denies its management practices have led to the suicides.France Telecom lawyer Claudia Chemarin told French television that each suicide will be examined individually. She said that under no condition can it be claimed that there was an organized policy that led to them.In March,France Telecom’s new boss Stephane Richard outlined ways the company planned to improve employee working conditions.France Telecom is not the only French company grappling with employee suicides.But because of the numbers of employee deaths and the media attention they have attracted,critics say France Telecom’s problems have emerged as a warning story about the downsides of valuing productivity and growth over employee well being.VOA News Item31社会：移民者抗议冻结约旦河西岸建设Jewish settlement councils have declared a general strike to protest the Israeli government’s freeze on construction in West Bank communities.Settlement leaders demonstrated outside the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem as the Cabinet held its weekly meeting.They carried signs saying,you can freeze in the North Pole,but not in Israel.The settlers helped elect right-wing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,but now they accuse him of abandoning his nationalist ideals.VOA News Item32社会：密西西比的小城吸引大量游客The King of Rock‘n’Roll,Elvis Presley,was born75years ago last week in a two-room house in the town of Tupelo in the piney woods of the deep southern state of Mississippi.So this time of year,and again in August on the anniversary of the King’s death,pilgrimages of Elvis fansdescend upon that furniture manufacturing center of34,000people.Surprisingly,you don’t see a lot of Elvis markers there.There is one sign that says The King is Up Ahead,but that’s for an automobile dealership.Visitors can take a self-guided Elvis Presley driving tour.One stop is the Tupelo Hardware where Elvis got his first guitar.The folks there say Elvis had wanted a rifle.But his mother,Gladys would have none of it.She stood him on a keg and let him play around with a guitar.He loved it,and Mrs.Presley bought it for him for$7.95.VOA News Item33文化：很多人认为依地语正在消失A funny thing is happening in the world of language instruction.Only it’s not funny at all for one language in particular.Because of the growing importance of global commerce and contact,foreign language instruction is booming at U.S.colleges.But because of the tight economy,many colleges are eliminating fulltime language-teaching positions or filling them with cheaper lecturers who are not faculty members at all.This is the case at the University of Maryland’s flagship College Park campus,a prestigious state-run school in the eastern U.S..To save costs,the university plans to cut its one Yiddish-teaching position.It’s the latest blow in what has been a steady decline in the study and use of Yiddish,which began among European Jews in the Middle Ages as a conversational Germanic language that uses Hebrew characters.Today,Yiddish is struggling to survive.It’s thought that fewer than500,000people,mostly the elderly,speak it worldwide.Most young,acculturated Jews speak only their countries’principal language,plus Hebrew during worship.VOA News Item34自然：湄公河水坝威胁水生生命The Mekong River is the lifeblood of Southeast Asia,with the largest inland fisheries in the world.About40million people depend to some degree on the fisheries,worth about$2.5billion a year.But fisheries experts say plans by Cambodia,Laos and Thailand to build hydropower dams on the Mekong would block fish migration,threatening already endangered species. Environmental activists say plans by Laos to build a dam in the Don Sahong area near the Cambodian border could doom the nearly extinct Irrawaddy dolphin.VOA News Item35灾难：联合国加紧救援海地灾区Haiti is prone to disasters,but this huge quake is the worst to hit the Caribbean island state in two centuries.The7.0magnitude earthquake that struck Haiti on Tuesday destroyed much of the country’s capital,Port-au-Prince.The International Red Cross fears up to three million people may have been affected by the earthquake,which not only devastated the capital city,but many smaller nearby communities.The United Nations reports electricity has been cut off and communications are difficult.It says bridges have been knocked out,hospitals and care facilities have been damaged or destroyed. Haiti’s envoy to the United States estimates losses could run into the billions.。

Reality TV makes stars out of ordinary peopleThe latest fashion on British TV is Reality TV. Reality TV means that shows follow and film ordinary people in an artificial situation. This could be at work, or in some kind of competition.One of the first and most popular Reality TV shows is Big Brother. In this show, 15 complete strangers have to live together in a house for 11 weeks. They are filmed 24 hours a day, and shown on television. Each week, the viewers vote to evict one of the housemates . Finally, only one is left, and they win the prize money – 50 000 pounds!Thes how was an instant hit , and runs in several countries. The housemates often become stars as a result of the show, and appear in national newspapers and on other shows.Anothervery popular show is I’m a Celebrity – Get Me Out Of Here! In this show, 10 celebrities are taken to the Australian jungle. They have to complete tasks each week, such as eating insects. The show is very expensive to make. The show cost 10 million pounds to make, but over 12 million people in Britain watched the finale . Reality TV is also big business in the United States. American Idol, which is similar to the Chinese Super Girl, is one example. In this show, thousands of would-be singers audition in front of a panel of three judges.Part of the attraction is that many of the singers are not very good – in fact, some are awful ! The judges do not have to be polite, and are in fact usually very rude to some of the contestants.As the show progresses, viewers vote for their favourite singers and the number of singers goes down until only one is left. As a prize, they receive a recording contract with a major record company.Reality TV is coming to China, too. The hit US show, The Apprentice, featured the tycoon and multi-millionaire Donald Trump. In the new Chinese version, Wise Man Takes All, 16 would-be businessmen will present their ideas to the judges, and the best one will win 1 million Yuan to make their dream come true. Whatever happens, it seems Reality TV is here to stay.词汇注释reality 现实；真实strangers 陌生人viewers 观众evict 驱逐；逐出housemates 同居一屋的人hit 成功；轰动一时celebrities 名人jungle 丛林finale 最后一场；结局would-be 将要成为…的audition 试唱；试演awful 非常糟糕的；极坏的tycoon 名人multi-millionaire 亿万富翁。

His characters are not modified by the customs of particular places, unpractised by the rest of the world; by the peculiarities of studies or professions, which can operate but upon small numbers; or by the accidents of transient fashions or temporary opinions: they are the genuine progeny of common humanity, such as the world will always supply, and observation will always find. His persons act and speak by the influnce of those general passions and principles by which all minds are agitated, and the whole system of life is continued in motion. In the writings of other poets a character is too often an individual; in those of Shakespeare it is commonly a species.Except from The Major Works by Sammuel Johnson参考译文莎士比亚的才华高于一切作家，至少高于当今的所有作家。
