Wariner leads U.S. to 400 sweep, sets personal best
OSAKA, Japan -- Defending and Olympic champion Jeremy Wariner led an American sweep of the medals in the 400 meters Friday at the track and field world championships.

Wariner won in a personal best 43.45 seconds, with LaShawn Merritt taking silver in 43.96 and Angelo Taylor getting bronze in 44.32.

It was the first medal sweep for any country in the men's 400 at the world championships.

Chris Brown of Bahamas was fourth in 44.45.

The American gold rush continued in the women's 200, as Allyson Felix defended her world title.

Days after skipping the 100 meters to concentrate on the 200, Felix had all the power her competitors lacked to surge down the home stretch.

Her face intense with concentration, she let go of a big "yes" and broke into an immediate smile once she streaked across the line in a season's best of 21.81 seconds.

She was 0.53 seconds clear of Veronica Campbell, who had to settle for silver after winning gold in the 100.

Jamaica's Campbell had the best start and kept ahead until halfway, but then the toil of eight races in six days caught up to her. Felix swept ahead and, keeping her lithe body and elegant stride under control, won the United States' seventh gold medal of the meet.

Susanthika Jayasinghe of Sri Lanka won bronze in 22.63. Americans filled fourth and fifth places with Torri Edwards in 22.65 and Sanya Richards in 22.70.

However, not all was well for the United States.

Bryan Clay's defense of his decathlon world title was over by the end of the first day.

Clay hurt his right quadriceps when he planted his foot for his second attempt in the high jump at 6-6¾, and slumped under the bar onto the mat. He limped away and did not return to competition.

"He heard something pop," said his agent, Paul Doyle, adding the injury made it impossible for Clay to run the 400 meters.

Jamaican Maurice Smith also failed at the same height and could not further build his lead in the standings. Czech Olympic champion Roman Sebrle however moved up into second place when he cleared a season's best 6-11½.

After 4 of 10 events, Smith had 3,591 points for a 28-point edge over Sebrle. Clay had faded to third with 3,558.

Clay's misfortune in the high jump spoiled a good opening to the competition. He started with victories in the 100 and the long jump. But he slipped behind Smith after the shot put.

After failing to defend his 1,500 title and finishing with silver, Rachid Ramzi of Bahrain could not even make the final of the 800 on Friday. In his semifinal, he faltered badly and finished last of his race. Favorite Yuri Borzakovsky easily won his semifinal to advance to Sunday's final.

While Clay and Ramzi had trouble in the stadium, for Russia, it was a walk in the park earlier Friday.

Olga Kaniskina led a 1-2 finish in the women's 20-kilometer walk through the muggy parkland outside the Nagai stadium, keeping Russia in close contention with the United States in the medal standings.

And Russia had to do it without defending champion Olimpiada Ivanova, who walked out early when the pain of an old skiing accident became too much.

Instead of 37-year-old Ivanova, a new generation took over. Kaniskina, 22, who walked away from the pack early, was never troubled again. Behind her, 19-year-old Tatyana Shemyakina won silver.

"To be world champion after 2½ years of serious walking training is great," said Kaniskina.

Russia now has 13 medals, including four gold. The U.S. team also has 13 medals, but has six gold.

In other results Friday, Yargelis Savigne kept Russia's Tatyana Lebedeva from a triple-and-long jump double Friday by winning the multistep event with a season's best leap of 50 feet, 1¾ inches. Lebedeva jumped 49-5½.

In the high jump, season's leader Blanka Vlasic of Croatia was among 16 who reached the qualifying mark of 6-4. Defending champion Kajsa Bergqvist of Sweden, Olympic champion Yelena Slesarenko and European titlist Tia Hellebaut also advanced.

In women's javelin, Barbara Spotakova of the Czech Republic won the title with a national record throw of 220 feet, 0 inches.

Christina Obergfoll of Germany finished second at 218 feet, her second silver medal at consecutive world championships. Steffi Nerius of Germany, the Olympic silver medalist, was third at 211-4.

World record holder Osleidys Menendez of Cuba did not defend her title because of injury.

In men's javelin, defending champion Andrus Varnik of Estonia failed to qualify for the final.

Vadims Vasilevskis of Latvia had the top throw of 286-7. Season's leader Breaux Greer of the United States, Olympic champion Andreas Thorkildsen and Finland's Tero Pitkamaki also advanced.

Later Friday, Liu Xiang was favorite to give China its first gold of the championships in the 110-meter hurdles.

I typically do the crossword puzzle first and it is in the Sports page of the Nashua Telegraph ..usually.. so I will say that I like "the crossword page" best.
I'm old fashioned in the way that enjoy getting my news from an actual newspaper so I read the entire paper usually and the order I read the different sections varies but might typically go; Front page, Local news page, Sports page, Classifieds and Entertainment pages.. but this is far from set, it's very fluid. One day I might be interested in a local topic and go for that page first another day I might need to see the Red Sox score so I read sports page first etc..The only thing that remains constant is that I will read the whole newspaper if I have it.

I usually start with the obits, then move on to the births. Next, I like to read the want ads and do the crossword puzzle. After that, I am ready to tackle the news. I read the entire Missoulian, no big feat.

I guess I like to read the obits because I have lived in Montana for so long. It seems like I always know someone, and I feel like I am honoring them by reading their story. Also, it makes me feel better if a person dies at a ripe old age. I am getting up there in years, after all. I like to see the births because I was a midwife for many years, so again I know a lot of the families. The crossword works two ways. Either I do great and feel better that I don't have dementia, or I do terrible and well, that is a worry, isn't it?

I live in a town with two dailies, and I read one at home and the other at work.
In both places, the paper needs to be shared. So the first question should be, who is already reading what when I sit down to breakfast (at home) or to lunch (at work)?
At home, everyone wants the local section. My husband reads the editorials; my older daughter does too, plus the political cartoons and the letters to the editor; I actually read the local news in the local news section, and then some of the editorials; my younger daughter just wants to look at the weather. So this section is usually under demand by everyone and when you get to read it is something that is negotiated.
At work, the section under greatest demand is sports. To me, this section has been hived off for easy disposal/recycling. The Friday and Saturday NYT crossword, if I can remember, will get photocopied at work so I can do it at home over the weekend.
If I had my complete freedom over the paper, I』d read it as follows:
1. Front section
2. Local News
3. Northwest Life/Life and Arts (some of the articles, plus the advice columns and the funnies)
Then:
4. Scan the front of the business section
5. Leaf through the occasional suppliments, such as the entertainment pull out at the end of the week, the outdoors section, etc. if interested and if I have time.
Discard: classifieds, other ads, Sports.
Oh, and I sometimes get a hold of our work place』s Wall Street Journal, but that』s hard to track down. There』s one co-worker that basically hoards it at her desk.

TRIPOLI, April 30 (Xinhua) -- Saif al-Arab Gaddafi, youngest son of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, was killed in NATO's strike against Gaddafi's house, said a spokesman of the Libyan government.

The NATO attack against Gaddafi's house resulted in the deaths of Saif al-Arab Gaddafi, 29, youngest son of Gaddafi, and three of Gaddafi's grandchildren, said Mossa Ibrahim, the government spokesman.

The leader himself and his wife, who were in the house, were in good health, while other people injured in the attack, said the spokesman.

This is a direct operation to assassinate the leader, said the spokesman.

The attacks had no legal or political foundations, he said, saying the strike was a violation of the international law.

Asserting he would not leave, embattled Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi floated on Saturday a proposal for a ceasefire and negotiations in a televised speech.

He said that all parties concerned should follow the truce, and the NATO forces must stop their attacks.

Gaddafi ruled out the possibility that he will quit and leave Libya, which he has been ruling over the past 41 years.

Gaddafi slammed the air raids by NATO, which started to attack his fortified compound in the capital Tripoli.

The world's major powers, the UK, the US and France, started on March 19 to launch strikes from the air and sea against Gaddafi's forces after the UN Security Council passed a resolution to impose a no-fly zone over Libya and authorize "all necessary measures" to protect civilians in Libya.

Conservation efforts in Inner Mongolia have spurred the northern region's development and benefited the national capital,top regional officials said yesterday in Beijing.
The autonomous region,which is known as a major source of the seasonal sandstorms that blanket Beijing,has "done what it could" to curb ecological deterioration,Yang Jing,chairman of the regional government,said.
"Protecting the environment has been listed as Inner Mongolia's most important infrastructure project," Yang told a press conference organized by the State Council Information Office yesterday to mark the region's 60th anniversary.
"The number of sandstorms has fallen significantly in recent years,which favorably influences the weather in Beijing and Tianjin."
Inner Mongolia,which is some 300 km north of Beijing,has long been thought of as the capital's backyard.However,the distance is not enough to protect Beijing from the wind-borne st and sand that blow down from the region.
Dust blown in from western Inner Mongolia blanketed Beijing nearly two months ago,lowering visibility to 4 km from 20 km the previous day.
Inner Mongolia has spent some 20 billion yuan ($2.7 billion) on efforts to halt desertification in an area measuring 16.7 million hectares over the past five years.It has also increased its forest coverage to 17.6 percent of its total area from 14.8 percent in 1999,Yang said.
At least 3 billion yuan was earmarked to implement the massive "Beijing-Tianjin windblown sand sources control project" in a bid to build a green ecological belt in northern China,according to regional government sources.
The project involves 458,000 sq km of land,about 48 percent of which lies in Inner Mongolia.
"There are several sources of sand and st (affecting Beijing) besides Inner Mongolia.We have done what we could on our part," Yang said.
Chu Bo,secretary of the regional committee of the Communist Party of China,said yesterday that 70 percent of the region's livestock has been confined to enclosed pastures to rece the grazing pressure on grasslands.
In addition to returning farmland to forests and reclaiming overgrazed pastures,Inner Mongolia has encouraged traditional pastoral areas to develop alternative instries.
Citing Erdos as a success story,Chu said the city would have plunged into an ecological vicious circle had it not built up secondary and tertiary instries.
As a result,the city of 1.4 million people is expected to have a gross domestic proct of 100 billion yuan ($13 billion) this year,a level of prosperity that can only be found in the country's coastal regions,Chu said.
Inner Mongolia is home to China's largest grasslands.The region spans 1.18 million sq km,which is about twice the size of Ukraine.
不算太長吧.

⑨ 一篇英語短篇新聞帶翻譯的

Hundreds of people have been killed in a massive earthquake in Japan that triggered a devastating tsunami. The quake -- the most powerful to hit Japan in more than 100 years -- caused massive damage and many people are missing and feared dead.

The 8.9 magnitude quake struck Friday off Japan's eastern coast, and prompted tsunami warnings across the Pacific as far away as South America and the U.S. West Coast. The Red Cross warned that the 10-meter high tidal wave could wash over some small islands entirely.

In Japan, the tsunami swept away boats, cars and hundreds of houses in coastal areas north of Tokyo.

The quake shook buildings in the Japanese capital and caused several fires. All train and subway traffic in Tokyo has been stopped, and thousands of people there were unable to get back home.

Authorities ordered the evacuation of about 3,000 people from the area around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant north of Tokyo. No radiation leaks were detected, but officials are concerned the reactor's core may overheat e to a system malfunction. A fire was also reported earlier in the turbine building of the Onagawa nuclear plant in Miyagi.

Addressing the nation, Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said the government would do everything it can to minimize the effects of the disaster. And in Washington, President Barack Obama said the United States is ready to help the people of Japan. The U.S. military in Japan has opened up the Yokota Air Base to some commercial flights diverted from Japanese airports.

日本的大規模地震造成數百人死亡。這次地震引發了毀滅性的海嘯。這次日本100年來最強烈的地震造成大規模的損失，許多人失蹤，甚至恐怕已經死亡。

這次8.9級的地震星期五發生在日本東海岸125公里外，引發了環太平洋地區海嘯警報，涉及范圍遠至南美地區和整個美國西海岸。紅十字會警告說，10米高的巨浪可能將把一些小島整個淹沒。

在日本，海嘯沖走了東京以北的沿海地區的船隻、汽車和數百幢房屋。

地震震動了日本首都的建築物，並引起了幾起火災。東京所有火車和地鐵停止運行，數以千計的人無法回家。

當局下令將東京以北的福島核電廠周圍大約3千人撤出這一地區。盡管沒有探測到任何核泄漏，但官員們擔心系統故障可能導致反應器的核心過熱。早些時候的報導說，宮城縣附近的女川核電廠發電機組發生火災。

日本首相菅直人向全國發表講話。他說，政府將盡其所能把災害的影響控制在最小程度。在華盛頓，美國總統奧巴馬說，美國准備隨時幫助日本人民。駐日美軍向無法在日本機場降落的一些商業飛機開放了橫田空軍基地。
