Today's oldest humans, he's reminds us, grew up withoutthe benefit of 20<sup>th</sup>-century advances in nutrition and medicine. In2000, he bet fellow gerontologist S. Jay Olshansky $500 million that someoneborn that year, somewhere in the world, would live to be 150.

Even a cure for cancer or heart disease would dolittle to extend the maximum length of human life, he argues, because there aresimply too many risk factors that pile up by the time a person is 115 yearsold. He believes supercentenarians owe their longevity more to freakish genesthan perfect health; the 122-year-old Calment smoked cigarettes for 96 years.Olshansky and Austad agree on one point: A technological breakthrough, perhapsin the realm of genetics, that slows the aging process could send life spanssurging upward. </font></font><br /><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif">Is such a discovery imminent? Atthis point, the question is little more than a Rorschach. Young, the GuinnessWorld Records consultant, compares the quest for superlongevity to the effortsof alchemists in the Middle Ages to turn lead into gold. They were right tothink it was possible, but wrong to imagine they had any idea where to begin:Scientists finally succeeded in transmuting elements in the 20<sup>th</sup>century only after first unlocking nuclear physics.

今天的越障帖的有点连,不过影响应该不会太大,下次注意!

<font size="4"><strong>[越障2-15]</strong></font> <br /><br /><strong><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif">Spain'seconomy <br /></font></font></strong><br /><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif">Split personality</font></font><br /><strong><font size="6"><font face="Times New Roman,serif">How vulnerable is Spain? The answer depends on whichSpain you mean<font size="3"><span style="color:#f10b00;">(1005 words)</span></font><br /></font></font></strong><br /><strong><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif">http://www.economist.com/node/18929032</font></font></strong><br /><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif">Jul 7th 2011 | from the printedition <br /></font></font><br /><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif"><br /></font></font><br /><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif">EUROPE’S sovereign-debt crisis hasalready engulfed Greece, Ireland and Portugal. But the real fear is that itmight spread to a large economy. Spain, whose GDP is almost double that of thethree rescued countries put together, has long been a source of concern.Although it entered the crisis with relatively low public debt, at just 36% ofGDP in 2007, that figure will rise to an estimated 68% by the end of 2011because of big deficits. Worse, Spain shared several of the smaller economies’weaknesses, like a loss of competitiveness and big current-account deficits. <br /></font></font><br /><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif"><br /></font></font><br /><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif">The immediate threat of contagionfrom Greece receded on June 29th when the Greek parliament passed a plan formore austerity, opening the way for the country to get another chunk ofbail-out money. But just as Greece’s problems have not really gone away, norhas Spain’s vulnerability. A land of striking physical contrasts, Spain has aneconomy to match. There are, in effect, two Spains, one vibrant and one sickly.Reinforcing one and reviving the other require painful reforms. </font></font><br /><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif"><br /></font></font><br /><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif">An example of this duality is thefiscal grip of the central government compared with that of the 17 regions.Last year the centre had to make up for regional slippages. That allowed theoverall deficit to fall as planned from 11% of GDP in 2009 to just over 9%, inthe first year of an austerity programme belatedly introduced by the Socialistgovernment of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero. But the next milestone on thejourney to fiscal sobriety—a deficit of 6% of GDP this year—may be harder topass. Figures out on June 30th showed no progress in the first quarter of 2011.</font></font><br /><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif"><br /></font></font><br /><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif">One reason may be that the mix ofretrenchment has switched: last year over half of the adjustment came fromhigher taxes, this year over two-thirds is to come from spending cuts. Whereasthe central government determines the main taxes, more than a third of publicspending, including on health and education, is undertaken by the regions. JoséManuel Campa, the economy minister, says of the austerity measures that “theregions have considerable fiscal autonomy so this is an effort that they aswell as the central government must make together.” The centre can exertcontrol indirectly through deficit targets and the right to veto borrowing. ButJuan José Toribio, a former director of IESE Business School in Madrid, worriesthat these tools will be ineffective and thinks regional spending limits areneeded. </font></font><br /><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif"><br /></font></font><br /><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif">Another duality lies in the bankingsystem. Observers fret that the Spanish state may have to pump a lot more moneyinto the banks than the roughly ?5 billion ($36 billion), or 2.5% of GDP, itcurrently reckons will be the total bill from Spain’s epic housing boom andbust (Ireland’s bank bail-out bill is over 40% of GDP). </font></font><br /><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif"><br /></font></font><br /><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif">The problem is concentrated in the <em>cajas</em>,local savings banks that make up around half the domestic banking system,rather than big Spanish banks like BBVA and Santander, which are protected bybig international businesses. Not before time the government is overhauling the<em>cajas</em>. Their ranks are being slimmed—the number has fallen from 45 to18—and they are being reorganised as joint-stock companies that can raiseequity capital. José Maria Roldan, director-general of banking regulation atthe Bank of Spain, says that the reform is “a huge step forward, replacing the <em>caja</em>model with a standard banking template that is more secure and comprehensibleto international investors.”</font></font><br /><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif"><br /></font></font><br /><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif">The austerity programme and thereform of the <em>cajas</em> are moves in the right direction but neither willwork if the economy continues to stagnate. The recovery so far has beendisappointing, although one bright spot is a big reduction in thecurrent-account deficit. Spanish GDP grew by just 0.3% (an annualised rate of1.2%) in the first quarter, when the euro area as a whole expanded by 0.8%. TheIMF forecasts that the Spanish economy will grow by just 0.8% in 2011. Mostworrying, unemployment has soared, from an average of 8.3% in 2007 to 20.9% inMay, the highest in the European Union (see chart). </font></font><br /><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif"><br /></font></font><br /><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif">The source of Spain’s egregiouslyhigh unemployment lies in the most pronounced division of all in its economy,that between insiders and outsiders in the labour market. Barriers to firingemployees mean that employers generally take on new staff on temporarycontracts. “Old” employees benefit from wage-escalation clauses that tie pay toprices. Astonishingly, real wages rose by 3.2% in 2009 when the economy shrankby 3.7%.</font></font><br /><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif"><br /></font></font><br /><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif">Faced with rigidities like this, aclutch of big Spanish firms like Telefónica, a telecoms company, have chosen toexpand abroad rather than at home. Only about a third of its business is now inSpain. Mr Campa claims that labour-market reforms are “going in the rightdirection”. Santiago Fernández Valbuena, Telefónica’s chief strategy officer,says that they have done nothing to make life easier for employers. </font></font><br /><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif"><br /></font></font><br /><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif">That leaves Spain facing a gravesocial as well as economic crisis. Its youth-unemployment rate (for under-25s)is also the highest in Europe, at 44.4% (the average in the euro area is 20%).Although many youngsters can rely on family safety-nets, such bleak figuresexplain the explosion of anger among the Spanish “indignants”. </font></font><br /><strong><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif"><br /></font></font></strong><br /><strong><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif">Thetwain in Spain</font></font></strong><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif"></font></font><br /><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif"><br /></font></font><br /><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif">The dualities do not end there. AsRafael Domenech, an economist at BBVA, points out, they also include the gulfbetween the productivity of big exporting companies and small domesticallyoriented firms. This gap helps to explain why Spain has been able to defend itsmarket share in world trade even though it has become less competitive ongauges like relative unit-labour costs. </font></font><br /><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif"><br /></font></font><br /><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman,serif">Whether the economy rides out theeuro-area crisis will depend on which Spain prevails—the more competitiveversion or the hidebound one. It will require far deeper reforms than areplanned. But with a general election due by March 2012, party politics arecoming to the fore and the tempo of reform is slowing. If this continues, sowill market jitters.</font></font>

【越障2-4】4:06<br />This article is about the recent abandonment of old printing code for botany research.<br /><br />1. Botanists have agreed in a recent meeting to change the present code. It means that 1)researchers don't have to print all taxa(猜是种属的意思?) and store relative printed materials as &nbsp;archives and that 2)the Latin names of new discovered species are not required to be printed and archived either.<br /><br />2. Shake-ups: Then the author turns to describe the reactions from some botanists. Those botanist mentioned in the article quite agree with the reform for the following reasons:<br />1) they have long been concerned about whether printing archives can last permanently;(now they're relieved )<br />2) also the translation workload was overwhelming when they need to make them available for researchers in India(忘记是不是India了) and in China.<br /><br />3. Catch-up pressure: The reform of code is now a big pressure for the zoologists. They have discussed the same issue before but didn't agreed to change the code for their study yet. &nbsp;They think to abandon the printing requirement is disrespectful to the code.<br /><br />今天尝试用英文些summary。。当练issue了。。

计时2-17~<br />觉得跟大家做了很久但是一直都没有做过贡献心力挺内疚的,今天第一次尝试找文章,有问题的地方大家指出来~~~谢啦~~~<br /><br /><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="color:black;"><font size="3"><font face="Arial">CNN Student News Transcript: Summer Show - July 14, 2011<br /></font></font></span></strong></div></div><br /><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="宋体"><span style="background-color:aqua;">计时</span></font></font></span><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial"><span style="background-color:aqua;">1</span></font></font></span><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="宋体"><span style="background-color:aqua;">:</span></font></font></span><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial">TOMEKA JONES, CNN STUDENT NEWS: That airplane means it's time for a new summer edition of CNN Student News! Hi, everyone. I'm Tomeka Jones. And this week, we're focusing on connections; specifically, Career Connections!<br /></font></font></span></div></div><br /><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial">Career Connections: Recruiter</font></font></span></strong><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial"><br /></font></font></span></div></div><br /><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial">JONES: That's the name of a segment we debuted this past school year. The goal of Career Connections is to give you guys a look at some of the different jobs around CNN. But first, we want to look at jobs in general. You definitely want to take notes for this! Candice McLemore is here to give us some career advice from a recruiter's perspective. <br /></font></font></span></div></div><br /><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial">Hi, Candice, thank you so much for joining us! <br /></font></font></span></div></div><br /><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial">CANDICE MCLEMORE, PROFESSIONAL RECRUITER, TURNER BROADCASTING, INC.: Thanks for having me.<br /></font></font></span></div></div><br /><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial">JONES: First question: What exactly does a recruiter do?<br /></font></font></span></div></div><br /><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial">MCLEMORE: A recruiter basically has the role of finding qualified and talented employees for a company.<br /></font></font></span></div></div><br /><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial">JONES: Can you share with our audience, which is a middle and high school audience, a few dos and some don'ts on how to put together a resume?<br /></font></font></span></div></div><br /><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial">MCLEMORE: Sure. I would say in terms of dos, first of all, pick a very simple format. You don't have to get elaborate; you don't want to use a lot of different fonts or colors or fancy items on your resume. You want somebody to be able to view it very quickly and to understand what your skills and your qualifications are. </font></font></span><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial"><br /></font></font></span></div></div><br /><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="宋体">(</font></font></span><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial">237</font></font></span><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="宋体">)</font></font></span><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial"><br /></font></font></span><br /><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="宋体"><span style="background-color:aqua;">计时</span></font></font></span><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial"><span style="background-color:aqua;">2</span></font></font></span><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial"><br /></font></font></span><br /><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial">And secondly, in terms of the content, I would say really think about what are the qualities and qualifications that you have. Certainly you can list job duties that you've had at previous companies, but you also want to think outside the box in terms of accomplishments as well. Did you solve a particular problem? Did you win an award? Were you on a particular dean's list or things like that? Try to think about other accomplishments that you can encompass, and then also other involvement that you've had outside of the work world as well. So, think about volunteer organizations that you've been a part of. And then also, certainly, any technical systems or software, things like that, that you may know how to use, even if you've used it in your personal space and not professionally. If it's a skill that you have, you should include that on your resume.<br /></font></font></span></div></div><br /><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial">JONES: OK, my last question: speaking to that middle or high school student, what tips and tricks maybe you can provide for them to get ahead of the competition?<br /></font></font></span></div></div><br /><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial">MCLEMORE: I would say for them to get ahead of the competition, to really get involved either in their school, in organizations or on their campuses when they go off to college. One of the things that our company looks for for our interns is people who are really passionate about what we do, but have also put that in to practice in any way that they can. So, if they want to be a publicist, they're on the PR committee for their student organization, or their sorority or whatever it may be. They're not just going to classes. They're doing more and taking more time to get exposure in any way that they can, even in their extracurricular activities.</font></font></span><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial"><br /></font></font></span></div></div><br /><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="宋体">(</font></font></span><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial">301</font></font></span><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="宋体">)</font></font></span><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial"><br /></font></font></span><br /><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="宋体"><span style="background-color:aqua;">计时</span></font></font></span><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial"><span style="background-color:aqua;">3</span></font></font></span><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial"><br /></font></font></span><br /><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial">Career Connections Advice</font></font></span></strong><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial"><br /></font></font></span></div></div><br /><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial">JONES: Don't put away that pen and paper yet!

<div class="maxcode-quote">
【越障2-4】4:06<br />This article is about the recent abandonment of old printing code for botany research.<br /><br />1. Botanists have agreed in a recent meeting to change the present code. It means that 1)researchers don't have to print all taxa(猜是种属的意思?) and store relative printed materials as &nbsp;archives and that 2)the Latin names of new discovered species are not required to be printed and archived either.<br /><br />2. Shake-ups: Then the author turns to describe the reactions from some botanists. Those botanist mentioned in the article quite agree with the reform for the following reasons:<br />1) they have long been concerned about whether printing archives can last permanently;(now they're relieved )<br />2) also the translation workload was overwhelming when they need to make them available for researchers in India(忘记是不是India了) and in China.<br /><br />3. Catch-up pressure: The reform of code is now a big pressure for the zoologists. They have discussed the same issue before but didn't agreed to change the code for their study yet. &nbsp;They think to abandon the printing requirement is disrespectful to the code.<br /><br />今天尝试用英文些summary。。当练issue了。。<div style="text-align:right;">-- by 会员 <u>抓抓sandra</u> (2011/7/22 14:33:07)</div><br />

<br /><br />我做OG时也是用英文,虽说语法有时不对,不过自己能明白就成了。
