BBC环球慢速英语在线听力第1集: HIV/AIDS - The FamilyV oice 1Hello, I’m Marina Santee.V oice 2And I’m Elizabeth Lickiss. Welcome to Spotlight. This programme uses a special English method of broadcasting. It is easier for people to understand, no matter where in the world they live.V oice 1A young child sits by the roadside. Her small hands rest in the dry dirt. She lifts the grains and watches them fall through her fingers. In her mind she can hear her mother’s voice calling her. In her mind she can see her father working in the fields. But she knows that these images are only in her mind now. The young girl’s mother and father are both dead. She is an orphan. For a minute, her brown eyes fill with tears. But her grandmother’s voice stops her thoughts.‘Coming Grandma’, she says in her native language of Swahili.V oice 2Each year the number of orphans caused by HIV/AIDS rises. Worldwide, over twenty million people have died from diseases connected to AIDS. HIV is the virus that causes the AIDS disease. AIDS de stroys the body’s natural defence system. This means it cannot fight infections or diseases. There is no cure for AIDS.V oice 1Adults suffer the most deaths from this disease. Many are mothers and fathers of young children. They are the workers of the land. They are the providers of food. They are the carers in the home. They are the carers and supporters of their parents. They are the ‘working generation.’ When they die, they leave the weaker members of the family behind - the children and the grandmothers.V oice 2Priscilla is seven years old. She is an AIDS orphan. She lives with her grandmother and two brothers in Maua, Kenya. In the beginning things were very difficult for her family. They had little food. Their grandmother did not work. There was not any money for the children to go to school. But then, things changed. Priscilla and her brothers became part of a programme at the Maua Methodist Hospital. Their AIDS Orphan programme began in 2001. The programme aims to help children get back into school. They provide clothing money for schooling. And they have a project to build houses for orphans and those who care for them.V oice 1Priscilla now attends school and is doing well. And Priscilla is just one of the many children that the programme has helped. At first the programme could help only ten [10] children at a time. They gave the chosen ten grandmothers corn, beans and cooking oil. And they gave their grandchildren school clothes and shoes. They paid the money for them to attend school. But with the help of other groups the orphan programme now feeds over four hundred [400] children. And they help educate around two hundred [200].V oice 2The Maua Methodist Hospital, or MMH, does not only help orphans. They also work to help prevent children becoming orphans. They have a community based palliative care programme. Palliative care is care for people who have a disease with no cure. MMH workers know that there is no cure for AIDS. But there are many ways to improve the lives of AIDS victims. There are even ways to extend their lives. So, hospital workers teach parents ways of cooking and cleaning that avoid sickness. They teach parents how to follow healthy diets. And they provide drugs that reduce the risk of catching infections that can kill. They are able to provide some people with anti-retroviral drugs. These drugs slow down the AIDS disease in the body. But the drugs only work if people take them correctly. They have to take particular drugs at particular times of the day, every day. If they do this, then the drugs can work to extend life by many years. A medical worker from the hospital said,V oice 3‘We aim to keep the parents alive, well and active. And at the same time we continue to support their families. In this way, the children are able to grow up in a loving, caring family environment. And they are able to attend school along with other children.’V oice 1MMH workers also train people to care for their dying relations at home. The workers try to change the hostile opinions that some people have about HIV/AIDS victims. They work to change hate and fear to care and love.V oice 2This is important. All the physical help in the world cannot be a substitute for emotional support. HIV/AIDS victims need the love, and support of their families - whoever they are.V oice 1May the fifteenth [15th] is the United Nations International Day of Families. For the year 2005, members of the UN are centring on, ‘HIV/AIDS and Family Well Being.’ The UN says that thestrength of the family has a very important part to play. It is central to how well communities can deal with AIDS and its effects. Strong families are the best defence in the prevention and spread of HIV. Families are also the best defence in caring for infected family members. The UN group said,V oice 4‘Families need and deserve assistance and support. Policies and programmes to fight HIV/AIDS must consider families and their communities. They must encourage efforts to care for family members and ensure that they are long term’.Voice 1The International Day of Families encourages people to work together - families, communities, teachers and organisations. Organisers encourage people to work together to educate and strengthen the family. In this way, they can fight HIV and the AIDS disease.V oice 2HIV/AIDS is changing what we think of as ‘the family.’ There are families without a mother. There are families without a father. Men and women may have to learn new skills to act as both mother and father. And there are families headed by children. Polices and programmes on family issues have to consider the new kind of families.V oice 1Groups like MMH and others are working to help families affected by HIV/AIDS. But to succeed, they need families to accept, love and support each other.V oice 2HIV/AIDS has left some people without any family. They have no blood relations left. In situations like these, the community has an even bigger part to play. It needs to provide a family environment. The Maua Methodist hospital is part of the Methodist church in Kenya. The church welcomes all people to be part of its family. And as a family, they can work to help and support each other. They can work together to unite to fight hatred and fear surrounding HIV/AIDS. They know that only a united family will be able to stand against difficulties.V oice 1The International Day of Families two thousand and five encourages people to think about the effect of HIV and AIDS on families across the world. Maybe you are lucky. Maybe you do not know anyone with HIV/AIDS yet. But chances are that you will in the near future. Now is the time to act to influence the future. AIDS groups are encouraging all people to come together as a global family to fight this threat to humankind.V oice 2The writer and prod ucer of today’s programme was Marina Santee. The voices you heard were from the United Kingdom.。

Not a bunch of raging aids, egos and all kinds of transference, modified only by the soothing diffidence of a frog.The glorious mayhem of the Muppet Show as crazy bears, old codgers, chickens and, of course, Kermit the Frog first appeared together on the American television in the mid-70s with a distinctive opening theme, a situation, an unlikely vaudeville show and high-profile special guests. Now more than 30 years later, comes a film in which the Muppet gang get together once more with the help of rather 1950s couple played by Jason Segel and Amy Adams. There are plenty of jokes about the passage of time. Miss Piggy is channelling Meryl Streep in the Devil Wears Prada for example. Some new special guests like Jack Black and big Hollywood-style musical numbers. The director James Bobin certainly knows about prestige. He made the Ali G series and Flight of the Conchords. But the Muppets, had they been part of his formative years?译文：一只青蛙的镇静与卑谦只能感染为数不多的一些心情而已，如情不自禁地助人之心，自尊心和移情别恋的情绪。

HW Mar 13BBC News with David AustinThe White House says the killing of 16 Afghans by an American soldier on Sunday won't change its strategy or objectives in the country. It said the plan was still for Afghans to take over security operations by 2014. The Afghan parliament has demanded to put the suspect on trial in an Afghan court. From Kabul, here's Quentin Sommerville.Identity of the gunman still hasn't been revealed, but more is known: he's in his late 30s, and has children of his own. A staff sergeant, he's been in the army 11 years. This is his first tour of Afghanistan, but he served three tours in Iraq. The Pentagon insists he acted alone. Fully armed, he was wearing night vision goggles as he carried out the killings. He was working with special forces in the area, protecting their combat outpost – that, said one officer, would have allowed him to come and go as he pleased. But his motivation for the attacks remains a mystery.The American Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has told United Nations Security Council foreign ministers gather to discuss Syria that the council shouldn't remain silent when governments massacre their own people. Mrs Clinton accused the Syrian forces of premeditated murder, and urged the council to stand up for the Syrian people."The Syrian people deserve the same opportunity to shape their future that the Tunisians, Egyptians, Libyans and Yemenis now enjoy. And our work here at the Security Council is just one part of what the international community must do to assist democratic transitions all across the Middle East and North Africa."Earlier, opposition activists in Syria accused the government of President Bashar al-Assad of slaughtering women and children in Homs and other cities. The opposition Syrian National Council called for urgent foreign military intervention in Syria. SNC representatives are due to meet the international envoy to Syria Kofi Annan in Turkey on Tuesday.Hundreds of mourners have paid their respects to one of the world's most celebrated war correspondents, Marie Colvin. She was killed last month in the Syrian city of Homs. The funeral was held in her hometown of Oyster Bay in New York state. The eulogy paid tribute to a fearless woman who had a passion for her work. Marie Colvin was covering the uprising in Syria for the British Sunday Times newspaper when the house she and other journalists were reporting from was shelled by Syrian government forces. A French photo journalist Remi Ochlik was also killed in the attack.The authorities in South Sudan say that more than 200 people are now known to have been killed in an outbreak of ethnic violence. Hundreds more are missing after attackers from the Murle ethnic group carried out raids in Upper Nile state on Friday. Violence sparked by cattle raids and revenge attacks between the Murle and the Lou Nuer peoples have left thousands dead since South Sudan became independent last July.World News from the BBCThe head of Brazil's football federation, Ricardo Teixeira, has stepped down. He also resigned from the 2014 World Cup organizing committee amid corruption allegations which he's denied. Here's Alex Capstick.Ricardo Teixeira has been at the helm of Brazilian football, the CBF for the past 23 years. But his stint in charge of the most successful nation in World Cup history has often been contentious. Over the past few years, he's been forced to defend himself amid allegations of corruption both in his role as president of the CBF and as a senior member of FIFA's ruling executive committee. In a parting statement, Mr Teixeira said he's sacrificed his health to do his job; he said he'd been criticized in the losses and undervalued in the victories.The European Union has insisted it'll press ahead with plans to charge foreign airlines for the carbon emissions they produce during European flights. Nine of Europe's leading aviation groups have written a joint letter calling for a compromise to avert what they say would be a "damaging trade conflict".The controversial art historian Maurizio Seracini says he's on the trail of lost masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci, The Battle of Anghiari. Professor Seracini says samples from a hidden wall in the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence contain traces of paint that was only used by the Renaissance master. The work is hidden behind another masterpiece of the period by Giorgio Vasari. The discovery has been hailed by Terry Garcia of the US National Geographic Society which sponsored the research."I'm quite convinced that something has been found. Yes, it is a very historic day. And, you know, I mean, this is a combination of a number of factors – one as Dr Seracini pointed out, there is overwhelming historical documentation that indicates that the Leonardo was painted, that it was behind the wall and that it was an existence of the time that Vasari painted his fresco."And those are the latest stories from BBC News.。

White House Sressing Job CreationA White House economic advisor says there is an "overwhelming" need to do more to spur U.S. job creation and solidify a fragile economic recovery. The comment follows a disappointing monthly unemployment report that showed continuing job losses in the United States.Less than a year after Pres ident Barack Obama signed into law the biggest economic stimulus package in U.S. history, the head of his Council of Economic Advisers says additional measures are needed."The sense that we need to do more is overwhelming," Christina Romer said on ABC's This Week program. She said key elements of last year's $787-billion stimulus package - like unemployment benefits and aid to state governments - should be extended.But Romer also called for new measures like tax incentives for businesses to hire new workers and cash rebates for people who make their homes more energy efficient.Friday, the U.S. Labor Department reported a net 85,000 job loss in the United States last month, with unemployment holding steady at 10 percent. The numbers were a disappointment to economists who had held out hope that December might have recorded the first net job gains seen in the United States in nearly two years."It was somewhat of a setback," said the economic advisor.Romer added that mild job losses and a stable unemployment rate are an improvement over the situation that existed a year ago, when hundreds of thousands of jobs were being lost each month and the unemployment rate was soaring."In the first quarter of 2009 when we [the Obama administration] first came in, we were losing on average 691,000 jobs a month. The job losses are moderating."But Republicans say it is time for President Obama to make good on his promise to actually improve America's economic conditions, rather than slowing the rate of decline. Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele spoke on Fox News Sunday."What are we about to celebrate as we go into the one-year anniversary of this [Obama] administration? We have no jobs, no health care [reform], $13-trillion worth of debt, and no sense of direction in how we are going to create thosejobs," he said.Last month, the Democratically-controlled House of Representatives passed a second stimulus bill aimed at jump-starting U.S. employment. The Senate is expected to consider the measure in coming weeks. Top economic voices in the Obama administration applaud the initiative, but add that, ultimately, America's private sector must lead the way in job creation and economic expansion.The consensus view among economists is that the U.S. unemployment rate will gradually decline in coming months as the economy rebounds from the worst recession since World War II. But some well-known economists are considerably more pessimistic, arguing that unemployment could rise further and the United States could slip back into recession by year's end.Cold Weather Driving Oil Prices HigherInvestors are seeing new opportunities to make money on oil. The price of crude oil rose to its highest level in 15 months on Wednesday amid speculation that a weak dollar and cold weather across many parts of the world will boost energy demand. But despite increasing demand in emerging markets, some say higher inventories and recessionary pullbacks in the West could drive prices lower.Severe winter weather across parts of Europe, Asia and the United States helped push the price of oil above $83 a barrel on Wednesday, before falling below that mark again on Thursday.In the U.S., a 20 percent increase in demand for heating oil, along with higher gasoline prices had some investors speculating about a return to record highs.With demand continuing to rise in emerging economies such as China and India, energy trader Ray Carbone says oil futures are a good bet."To me, we could be at triple digits in the not long period of time and of course we know that we can go well into the triple digits if the right confluence of events comes about," said Ray Carbone.But after 10 days of consecutive gains, some investors may be having second thoughts. On Thursday, oil futures fell below $83 a barrel amid concerns about higher than expected surpluses and a strengthening U.S. dollar.Energy analyst Mike Fitzpatrick says a sluggish recovery in the U.S. could also drive prices lower."I think that the fundamentals aren't there," said Mike Fitzpatrick. "I mean thereis plenty of supply. Demand in the industrial West remains severely restricted because of the recession."Oil prices topped out at $145 a barrel in 2008, driven largely by speculators hedging their bets on a weak U.S. dollar. Analysts don't expect prices to reach similar levels anytime soon but they say oil markets could remain a hot spot for investors - if energy demand increases as the U.S. economy gradually starts to improve.Global Markets Edge Higher as Dubai's Debt Woes EaseThe government-owned company, Dubai World, has reassured investors abroad by revealing details of its restructuring plans, nearly a week after hinting it may not have enough money to repay its debts.Dubai World says it will restructure $26 billion in debt, less than half of the nearly $60 billion it owes.The new scheme will look at options for deleveraging, including asset sales, and will apply to the conglomerate's main property firms, Nakheel and Limitless. Its smaller companies will not be covered.The head of Middle East research at Swiss-based financial firm UBS, Saud Masud, says it is a step in the right direction."I think, structurally this is a long-term positive with some short-term pain," Masud said.Asian and European stocks were up, Tuesday, following news of the restructuring. However, it was a different story back in the United Arab Emirates, where the main indexes in Dubai and Abu Dhabi fell shortly after opening.Both were down by about six percent, after recording even higher losses on Monday.Masud says the situation has most people in the UAE feeling vulnerable."If you walk around and look at what the everyday person is thinking," Masud said. "They're clearly concerned with what restructuring or what type of debt renegotiation, will mean for them and their companies."Dubai World helped transform Dubai into a regional hub for finance. It sent markets across the planet tumbling, last week, when executives asked creditors for a six-month extension on repaying its debts.Monday, the emirate's government announced it would not provide the company with a bailout.Officials say they want to set the record straight that, although Dubai owns Dubai World, the company is independent and not guaranteed by the government.Dubai World's debts grew from projects initiated during Dubai's property boom, including man-made islands in the shape of palm trees and the world's tallest building.。

A Fat Tax for America? 向胖人征税？If a new idea in America becomes a law, people who suffer from obesity could suffer financially too.The US state of Arizona wants to charge overweight citizens $50 (325 Yuan) annually if they fail to follow their doctors' advice. People with children or who are overweight because they suffer from a medical condition would be exempt. If the idea is approved by Congress, smokers and diabetics who fail to stick to a healthy lifestyle will also have to pay.Medicaid, the organisation which provides healthcare to the poor in the USA, costs the government $339bn (2.2 trillion Yuan) a year. Monica Coury, assistant director at Arizona's Medicaid programme, said that this proposal would ask people to give something back.She said that Arizona would take a carrot and stick approach to the problem. As well as penalising people who go against their doctor's wishes, incentives would be offered for following advice, possibly a keep-fit video.Arizona's senator Kyrsten Sinema has not backed the plans, saying that there isn't a system to decide whether someone is or isn't following medical advice. Other critics claim that people don't need the government to look after them; if they want to be fat and smoke, the 'nanny state' shouldn't try to stop them. Wes Benedict of the Libertarian Party said:"If you want to save the state money... cut Medicaid across the board, but don't single out overweight people and smokers."最伟大的魔术师The Greatest MagicianEdinburgh has been remembering one of the world's greatest magicians. The Great Lafayette was the stage name of the German illusionist Sigmund Neuberger. At the time of his death a century ago he was the world'shighest-paid performer and 250,000 people went to his funeral.Lafayette's grand finale was a famous stunt called The Lion's Bride. A female assistant would walk into a cage containing a real lion. When the lion was about to kill her, its skin would be pulled off to reveal… The Great Lafayette.Of course it was all done with smoke and mirrors, as well as Lafayette's great sleight of hand. But on 9 May 1911 something went horribly wrong. Halfway through his routine, a gas lamp was knocked over and the stage scenery caught fire. The audience all thought it was part of the act and refused to leave the theatre until the band played the national anthem.Lafayette died along with 10 other people, a horse and the famous lion. But he continued to play tricks on people even after his death.Three days after the fire, another body was discovered in the theatre wearing Lafayette's clothes. This, it emerged, was the magician himself; the first body had been that of an assistant.One hundred years on, the great magician continues to work his magic. Last weekend, the Edinburgh Festival Theatre hosted a series of special events in honour of the magician, including a séance.BBC News with Jonathan Wheatley美国暴风雪上千航班被取消上万旅客受影响A winter storm is causing major disruption along the eastern seaboard of the United States.

A party statement said, “we should no allow them steal our victory.” Both men say they won Ivory Coast presidential election, but Mr Gbagbo has held onto day-to-day power despite international appeals to him to leave office.尼日利亚乔斯市再次发生武装冲突至少1人死亡There’ve been clashes between the armed Christian and Muslim groups in the central Nigerian city of Jos less than two days after bombings killed 32 people. Security forces dispersed the crowds and there is no official word on casualties, but witnesses reported several dead bodies. Jos, in Nigeria’s Platea u state, has been at the heart of ethnic and religious hostility in recent years. But the Anglican Archbishop of Jos Ben Kwashi told the BBC Friday’s bomb blasts were nothing to do with religion. He blamed the international media for inflaming tensions.“One bomb went off in the beer parlour. Another bomb went off near the church. And the other bomb went off near the market. These are public places and have nothing to do with the religion. These are criminal issues. We have worked very hard of leaders of religion in Jos. To work together, we were gaining ground until this one.”以色列外长称以方不会就袭船事件向土耳其道歉The Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman has said Israel will not apologise to Turkey for a military raid on an aid ship bound for the Gaza Strip in which nine activists were killed. “It was Turkey who should apologise” Mr Lieb erman said. “for supporting terror, including the IHH, the Turkish organisation which sent the ship to Gaza.”“On the apology issue is boarders’ unrudeness, it’s even beyond rudeness. If anyone has to apologise, it is the Turkish government to Israel for its cooperation with terror entities, for supporting terror, for supporting the IHH Hamas and Hezbollah. There will be no apology. And if there was to be one, it would be from the Turkish government and not the other way around.”World News from the BBC荷兰逮捕12名索马里犯罪嫌疑人其中五名已洗清嫌疑Prosecutors in the Netherlands say they’ve cleared five of the 12 Somali men arrested on Friday on suspicion of planning a terrorist attack. The men were detained in Rotterdam after Dutch intelligence reports indicated an attack might be imminent. Officials said there was no criminal evidence against the five.乌克兰前内政部长遛狗时被捕涉嫌侵占国家财产In Ukraine, the former Interior Minister Yuri Lutsenko has been detained as part of a winding investigation into allegations of abuse of office and diverting public funds. The opposition says this inquiry is a political vendetta launched byPresident Viktor Yanukovich against members of the previous government. The former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko is also under investigation. David Stern now reports from Kiev.According to Yuri Lutsenko’s press service, 11 security agents seized the former interior minister when he was walking his dog on Sunday afternoon. Authorities had opened a criminal case against Mr Lutsenko earlier this month for abuse of power. He is the latest and so far highest profile member of Yulia Tymoshenko’s government to be arrested. Mrs Tymoshenko herself are two separate charges filed against her this last week for misuse of funds and abuse of power when she was prime minister one year ago.斯里兰卡200名在监前猛虎成员通过A级考试The Sri Lankan government says 200 former Tamil Tiger rebels it is holding in custody have passed A-level exams normally taken at the age of 18. They are among 5,000 former rebels the authorities say they are still holding following the Tamil Tiger’s defeat last year. However, human rights groups have denied that those sitting the exam are former fighters at all.研究人员称已确定制一品种可可树的多数基因序列Researchers say they’ve sequenced to most of the genetic code of a type of cocoa plant used in making high-quality chocolate, meaning they might be able to improve its resistance to disease.
