【News I】Red Cross and Red Crescent are our main partner and we work very well: Commissioner Georgieva08 May 2012 | 15:05 | FOCUS News AgencyHome / European UnionSofia. We work extremely well with the Red Cross and Red Crescent, European Commissioner for International Cooperation, Humanitarian Air and Crisis Response Kristalina Georgieva said in an interview with FOCUS News Agency on the occasion of the World Red Cross Red Crescent Day, 8 May. They are our main partner. We work extremely well with both the International Committee of the Red Cross and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. They respect Europeans a lot for being a trustworthy partner of theirs even in a hard time and in all difficult moments, in the biggest crises in the world it turns out that we are always there together, said Commissioner Georgieva. We always check together with Mr. Kellenberger, President of the International Committee of the Red Cross, as to what happens in the world and it turns out we think in one and the same way, we work together, said the European Commissioner. They made a decision which is, to some extent, a result of joint discussions, joint work, to add post-disaster reconstruction to the mandate of the International Committee of the Red Cross. They had a narrower mandate – saving human lives when there is a disaster or conflict and now they say they cannot leave the people. “There is a gap between crisis response and investment in development. Here they made a decision to work in the same way as I decided to invest more in prevention and fostering of a bond between humanitarian aid and investments in development,” said Kristalina Georgieva.【News II】Dmitri A. MedvedevUpdated: May 7, 2012Dmitri A. Medvedev, post-Soviet Russia’s third president, was elected in March 2008, when Vladimir V. Putin, the powerful and popular incumbent, had to step down because the Russian Constitution limits a president to two consecutive terms. The solution was the “tandem”: the younger and more pro-Western Mr. Medvedev became president and Mr. Putin moved to the post of prime minister, though he remained the most influential man in Russian politics.In September 2011, Mr. Medvedev announced that he would not seek a second term as president, allowing Mr. Putin to run instead.In March 2012, Russian voters overwhelmingly elected Mr. Putin to a third six-year term as president. The widely expected outcome set the stage for a far more suspenseful post-election confrontation between Mr. Putin and an opposition movement that had repeatedly rallied tens of thousands of anti-government protesters.In April, Mr. Putin announced that he would step down as chairman of United Russia, the political party he has led since 2008, and hand the reins of the parliamentary majority to Mr. Medvedev.Mr. Medvedev has said he hopes to play a role in Russian politics for a long time. He has hinted that he may run for president again in 2018, when Mr. Putin’s third term ends. Right now, though, he is fighting for political relevance, after spending an entire presidential term in Mr. Putin’s shadow.Surrendering the Presidency, Amid Violent ProtestsIn May 2012, with Mr. Putin’s approaching inauguration, the anti-government protests grew violent. The day before the ceremony, police and at least 20,000 antigovernment protesters clashed outside the Kremlin walls, adding the images of flying bottles, smoke bombs and thumping nightsticks to those of Mr. Putin’s third inauguration as president. The next day, as Mr. Putin took the oath of office, the police tried to stamp out a second day of protests. The police reported that 120 people had been detained, adding to upward of 400 who were rounded up by police after the unexpectedly large anti-Putin march the day before. The violence marked a jarring shift in a city that over the last six months has become accustomed to large, peaceful anti-government rallies.After being sworn in, Mr. Putin nominated Mr. Medvedev as the country’s prime minister. The current political friction was noted obliquely by Mr. Medvedev, who surrendered his four-year term as president that, in the end, served largely to ensure Mr. Putin’s continued control. In his speeches, Mr. Medvedev often questioned the Kremlin’s tight grip on business and politics, leading some to hope that he would push through structural changes if he served a second term. Mr. Medvedev seemed to be explaining his decision, saying Russia could not be transformed into a modern country without “continuity in the government’s policies.”

目前猪流感大规模流行的威胁导致一片混乱，在这之中，一个有关流行病的秘密正在被解开。官方机构已经指明一名来自墨西哥Veracruz州LaGloria地区的名为EdgarHernandez的5岁孩子是“首个猪流感病例”——至少到目前为止EdgarHernandez是他们发现的最早病例。病毒学家已经测定，正在变异的流感病毒是几种通常与猪有关的老流感病毒的结合体。而在LaGloria地区，一个有近1百万头生猪的养殖场就在附近。那么是不是所谓的猪流感真的仅仅不过是又一个与养殖场有关的环境问题呢？毕竟，这样大规模的养殖使得猪被关在狭小的空间里面，养殖者对它们还注射抗生素，以便使它们能在拥挤不堪和大量污秽的环境中存活下来。这些糟糕的环境为疾病的传播提供了绝佳的温床。其它的一些健康威胁也已经在生猪养殖农场中显出苗头，比如具有耐抗性的金黄色葡萄球菌病毒的出现。不过，这种H1N1病毒还没有在LaGloria附近的生猪养殖场中发现，目前也不清楚H1N1病毒是如何从养殖场传到小Edgar身上的。不过，因为病毒学家们的不懈努力，有一点是清楚的：根据美国疾病控制中心(U.S.CentersforDiseaseControl)的报道，在上个世纪90年代H1N1流感病毒在美国的生猪农场中就出现了。也许这种病毒如何从猪身上传到人身上与农场养殖一点儿关系也没有，但是密集的动物饲养模式是有助于疾病繁殖的。SomehavelinkedthenewstrainofH1N1toanindustrialhogfarminMexico有人认为猪流感H1N1病毒的新变体与墨西哥一个工业化生猪养殖农场有关。CanSwineFluBeBlamedonIndustrialFarming?Amidstthehubbubsurroundingthecurrentpandemicthreatfromswineflu,anepidemiologicalmysteryhasbeenunfolding.AuthoritieshavedesignatedEdgarHernandez,afiveyearoldfromLaGloriaintheMexicanstateofVeracruzas"PatientZero"atleastheistheearliestcasetheyhavefoundsofar.Virologistshavedeterminedthatthemutatingfluisacombinationofseveralolderflustrains,commonlyassociatedwithpigs.AndLaGloriaishometonearlyamillionpigsonanearbyfactoryfarm。Soissocalledswineflureallyjustanotherenvironmentalproblemassociatedwithfactoryfarming?Afterall,suchlargeoperationskeeptheanimalsincloseconfinement,dopethemwithantibioticstokeepthemaliveinthecrowdedconditionsandcreatevastpoolsandpilesofwasteallgoodwaystopromotethespreadofanydisease。Otherhealththreats,suchasantibioticresistantstrainsofstaphylococcusaureus,haveemergedfrompigfarmsaswell。Nevertheless,thisH1N1strainhasnotyetbeenfoundinthepigsnearLaGloria,norisitclearhowitwouldhavejumpedfromthefactoryfarmtolittleEdgar。ButwhatisclearthankstothehardworkofvirologistsisthatthisparticularstrainofflugotitsgeneticstartonU.S.hogfarmsbackinthe1990s.That'saccordingtotheU.S.CentersforDiseaseControl.Howthevirusjumpedfrompigstohumansmayhavenothingtodowithfactoryfarms,butconfinedanimalfeedingoperationshelpedtobreedthedisease。Vocabulary:Strain：(疾病的)类型Hog：猪SwineFlu：猪流感Amidst：在…之中Hubbub：混乱；喧闹Pandemic：大规模流行病Epidemiological：流行病学的Designate：指明；指派Virologist：病毒学家Determine：确定Mutate:变异Confinement:局限Dope:用药Antibiotics:抗生素Vast:大量的Resistant:抵抗的Staphylococcusaureus:金黄色葡萄球菌Genetic:基因的Breed:孕育；导致；繁殖

获得独家新闻“快点儿，”编辑说，“快准备好那则新闻，我们要在这次出版中抢在其他报纸出版社的前头，这可是个独家新闻！”周扬刚访问完一个有名的影视明星回到办公室来。“他都准备好那样做了吗？”一个国际新闻部的人问道。“是的，我恐怕他已经准备好了，”周扬答道。他开始起劲地工作起来。他的第一项任务就是撰写他的新闻故事，但是他却马马虎虎地对待。虽然周扬意识到这个人在说谎，但是他知道他不能够直接指控他。他本应该更加注意（报道的）正确性的。当然也要简明扼要！他知道该怎么做。几个月的训练教会了他如何言简意赅。他在他的电脑前坐下并开始工作。第一个看到他写的报道的是和他在同一个部门的一位资深编辑。他审阅了相关证据和这篇报道，然后将它交给报社的文字编辑。她（文字编辑）开始编辑文章里面的片段并为它拟定了大标题和副标题。“它在报纸上将会非常的抢眼，”她说道。“再给我一张这个男人的精彩照片，”接着在这篇报道被写成英文版之前，周扬也将它的复制件给了一个身为本地人的同事来加以润色。这位同事也非常欣赏周扬写的这篇报道。“你已经可以写出很棒的头版头条了”她说。周扬开心地笑了。最后，首席编辑浏览过之后对它进行了赞赏。“写得太好了！”他对周扬说，“但是请让我再看一下你搜集的证据，以便让我们确定它是否在用事实说话。”“我现在就拿给你”周扬兴奋地说。新闻采访报道部的编辑拿走了这篇报道然后开始对所有的报道和图片进行排版，直到报纸的每一版都排好。所有的信息都准备好进行胶片负相处理。这是印刷报纸的第一个阶段。当新闻报道需要使用几个颜色时，它们就总共需要四次负相处理。每一种主要颜色都有一个负相处理印刷版，然后当他们结合在一起的时候就会印出报纸里的彩色板块。在经过最后一次检查后，报纸就可以印刷了。周扬兴奋地等待着第一批报纸的出炉。“等着看今晚的611吧，”他的朋友小声跟他说，“我预料会有一些什么东西在今晚电视新闻里报导，这可是是一个很劲爆的独家新闻！”
