] Needle Injuries to Medical Students Often Go UnreportedA study calls attention to the danger if the patient being treated, or the student, has an infectious disease. Transcript of radio broadcast:09 February 2010This is the VOA Special English Health Report.For medical students, real experience begins not in a classroom but at a teachingAP Photo For example, they might stick themselves with a needle treating patients. Such needle sticks are common. But a recent study found that medical students often fail to report them. Failing to report an injury like this can be dangerous if a patient,Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, did the study. It appeared in the journal Academic Medicine.surgical residents were at seventeen medical centers in the United States.Almost sixty percent said they had suffered needle stick injuries when they were in medical school. Many said they were stuck more than once.Yet nearly halfof those whosemost recentincident happened in school did not report it to an employee health office. If they had, they would have been tested to see ifMost known cases of H.I.V. or hepatitis are reported, but other possible infections often are not.Martin Makary was the lead author of the study. Doctor Makary says medical students who are stuck put themselves and others in danger from infectious diseases.MARTIN MAKARY: "A needle that goes through the skin needs to be as sharp as possible because that's going to be associated with the easiest access, the more slick closure, and the less pain when somebody has, say their blood drawn or their skin closed."skin after an operation.Doctor Makary told VOA's Melinda Smith that he supports using blunt tip needles which are considered safer.MARTIN MAKARY: "This needle is still sharp enough to penetrate through body tissue. But it does have a blunt tip, so that if it accidentally goes into my finger, it's much less likely to perforate."How common are needle sticks among health care workers? An estimated six hundred to eight hundred thousand of these and similar injuries are reported each year in the United States. But Doctor Makary says the real number may be much higher.The study advises doctors to protect their hands by wearing two sets of gloves. Italso hospitals to establish a special telephone number for medical workers and students to call if they are injured. The idea is for hospitals to send a clear messageAnd that's the VOA Special English Health Report.

VOA慢速英语Hoover Dam Taming the Colorado River and Powering Millions

STEVE EMBER: And this is Steve Ember withEXPLORATIONS in VOA Special English. Today we tell about Hoover Dam.(MUSIC)BOB DOUGHTY: Our report today about Hoover Dam must begin with the Colorado River. This river made the dam necessary. The Colorado River begins high in the Rocky Mountains. It begins slowly, during the dark months of winter. Heavy snow falls on the Rocky Mountains.The snow is so deep in some areas that it will stay on the ground well into the hot days of summer. But the snow does melt. Ice cold water travels down the mountains and forms several rivers -- the Gila River, the Green River, the Little Colorado, the San Juan, the Virgin and the Gunnison Rivers. These rivers link together and form the beginnings of the Colorado River. The Colorado River flows through, or provides water for, the states of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and California. Then it crosses the border into Mexico.STEVE EMBER: The Colorado River has always been extremely powerful. The river created the huge Grand Canyon. The violent water cut hundreds of meters deep into the desert floor of Arizona. The Grand Canyon is proof of the power of this great river.The Grand Canyon was cut into the desert floor beginning thousands of years ago. But the power of this river has been demonstrated in more modern times.Between nineteen-oh-five and nineteen-oh-seven, the Colorado River caused great amounts of flooding in parts of Arizona and California. Huge amounts of water ran into a low area in the dry, waterless desert that had once been an ancient lake. In two years of flooding, the Colorado River filled the ancient lake. That lake is called the Salton Sea. Today, it is about fifty-six kilometers long by twenty-five kilometers wide. It is even larger in years of heavy rain.BOB DOUGHTY: The flooding that created the Salton Sea also flooded homes, towns and farming areas. Many people were forced to flee their homes. Government leaders knew they had to do something to prevent such floods in the future.In nineteen eighteen, a man named Arthur Davis proposed building a dam to control the Colorado River. Mister Davis was a government engineer. He said the dam should be built in an area called Boulder Canyon on the border between the states of Arizona and Nevada.STEVE EMBER: Building the dam would not be a simple matter. The people of seven states and the people of Mexico needed and used the water of the Colorado River. Much of that area is desert land. Water is extremely important. Without water from the Colorado River, farming is not possible. Without water, life in the desert is not possible.On November twenty-fourth, nineteen twenty-two, officials signed a document in Santa Fe, New Mexico. That document is called the Colorado River Compact. The document tells how the seven states would share the water of the Colorado River. It was agreed this could be more easily done with the aid of a dam. Later an agreement was signed with Mexico to supply it with water from the Colorado River.(MUSIC)BOB DOUGHTY: The area chosen for the dam was called Black Canyon. The walls of Black Canyon rise almost two hundred forty-three meters above the river.An ancient volcano formed the rock in Black Canyon. Engineers decided the rock would provide a good strong support for the proposed dam.However, the area also presented problems. The nearest railroad was sixty kilometers away. There was no electric power. And, in the summer, the temperature in the desert in Black Canyon could reach as high as forty-eight degrees Celsius.A great deal of work was done before operations started on the dam. Workers built a town called Boulder City to house employees working on the dam. They built a large road from Boulder City to the area of the dam. They built a railroad from a main line in Las Vegas, Nevada to Boulder City. They built another railroad from Boulder City to the dam area. And they built a three hundred fifty kilometer power line from San Bernadino, California. This provided electric power to the area where the dam was being built.Workers drill into the canyon wall above the Colorado RiverSTEVE EMBER: The work on the dam began in April of nineteen thirty-one. Workers called “high scalers” were some of the first to begin building the dam. They were suspended from ropes as they used heavy air-powered hammers to break any loose rock away from the face of the canyon walls. When they could not use hammers, they used dynamite. One high scaler became very famous. His name was Arnold Parks. He caught another worker who had fallen off the top of the canyon.Mister Parks held the worker to the wall of the canyon until others came to help. Today, visitors can see a statue of the men who worked as high scalers to build Hoover Dam.The high scalers worked on the sides of the canyon. Other workers dug huge tunnels deep in the floor of the canyon. This was done to permit the Colorado River to flow away from the construction area. This had to be done so the floor of the dam could be built.On June sixth, nineteen thirty-three, workers poured the first load of a building material called concrete. Men in two special factories worked day and night to make the concrete building material for the dam.Huge equipment moved millions of tons of rock and sand. In the summer months, the terrible desert heat slowed the work but did not stop it. Men who worked at night on the dam suffered less, but the heat was still as high as thirty degrees Celsius.BOB DOUGHTY: Slowly the great dam began to rise from the floor of the canyon. From the canyon floor it reaches two hundred twenty-one meters high. Workers poured the last of the concrete on May twenty-ninth, nineteen thirty-five. They had used almost four million cubic meters of concrete in the dam. Workers also used more than twenty million kilograms of steel to strengthen the concrete in the dam.STEVE EMBER: The work was dangerous for the more than five thousand men who worked on the structure. The extreme temperatures, falling objects and heavy equipment caused accidents. The workers were provided with medical care and two emergency vehicles to take them to a new hospital in Boulder City. However, ninety-six men lost their lives during the building of the great dam.The companies building the dam had been given seven years to complete the work. They did it in only five. The dam was finished on March first, nineteenthirty-six.Other work now began. This work would make the dam into one of the largest producers of electric power ever built. The dam was built to control the powerful Colorado River. But it was also meant to use the river to produce large amounts of electric power.Today, seventeen huge machines use the r iver’s power to produce electric power. The states of Arizona and Nevada share the power. So do many cities in California, including Los Angeles, Burbank, and Pasadena.(MUSIC)BOB DOUGHTY: When the Hoover Dam was finished in nineteen thirty-six, it was the largest dam in the world. It was also the tallest. And it was the largest power producer that used water power to make electricity. Today this is no longer true. Taller dams, larger dams and a few that produce more power have been created. But Hoover Dam is still a huge and interesting place.Visitors to Hoover Dam drive on a small road that passes Lake Mead. They enter a special visitors' center to learn about the dam and the men who built it. They ride high-speed elevators that go deep inside the dam. They see the huge machines that produce electric power.Many visitors say they thought the name of the huge structure was Boulder Dam. They are told that Hoover Dam is often called Boulder Dam. However, it is named after former President Herbert Hoover.APThe Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge was completed in 2010. Hoover Dam is in the background.Before he was president, Mister Hoover worked for many years to make the construction of the dam possible. It was officially named to honor him in nineteen forty-seven.Visitors leave the great dam with an understanding of how difficult the project was. They learn that it still safely controls the great Colorado River. And it also provides water and electric power to millions of people in the American southwest.(MUSIC)STEVE EMBER: This program was written by Paul Thompson. It was produced by Mario Ritter. This is Steve Ember.BOB DOUGHTY: And this is Bob Doughty. Join us again next week for another EXPLORATIONS program in VOA Special English。

VOA慢速英语：飞船历史性的在彗星上着陆

VOA慢速英语：飞船历史性的在彗星上着陆Spacecraft Makes Historic Landing on a Comet宇宙飞船历史性地在彗星登陆After traveling 10 years and hundreds of millions of kilometers, a small robotic spacecraft has for the first time landed on the surface of a comet, a solar system object madeof ice and rock.在太空旅行10年、航行数十亿千米后，一个小型机器飞船首次登陆彗星表面，彗星是太阳系的一个天体，由冰和岩石构成。

T he probe launched from the European Space Agency’s main Rosetta spaceship early Wednesday. The spaceship is designedto carefully study the appearance and materials that make up the Comet67P/Churymov-Gerasimenko.周三早上，这个探测器搭载欧洲航天局“罗塞塔”飞船进入太空。

飞船设计很细致，主要研究彗星67P的表面物质。

Scientists worried the probe might not land on solid ground but early reports say the Philae research probe is in good condition.科学家担心探测器也许无法达到彗星表面，虽然早些时候的报道称“菲莱”着陆器运行状态良好。

Stephan Ulamec, of the German Aerospace Center, announced the news. He said the landing equipment and a special device meant to secure the spacecraft to the comet had deployed.德国航天中心的史蒂芬·莱姆克宣布一个消息：他说已经部署好一个特别的装置来确保着陆彗星的探测器器和飞船的安全。

VOA慢速英语(翻译+字幕+讲解)全球脱贫陷窘境富国贫富不均加剧

Lack of Progress in Reducing PovertyA new report says years of progress made in reducing poverty worldwide are under attack.The International Labor Organization says the progress is being threatened by weakening economic conditions and a lack of quality jobs.The ILO recently released the report. It is called "World Employment and Social Outlook 2016 -- Transforming Jobs to End Poverty."The ILO says great progress in reducing poverty has been made over the past 20 years. The report explores the issue of extreme poverty in 107 emerging and developing countries.Extreme poverty was defined as earning less than $2 a day.The report found that in those countries, the number of people with such an income fell by almost half since 1990 to about 15 percent in 2012.But not every country has experienced falling rates of poverty.Guy Ryder is the ILO's Director-General. He says there have been great improvements in China and in Latin American countries. But poverty remains high in Africa and parts of Asia."For example, more than 40 percent of the African population continues to live in extreme poverty and some 64 percent in extreme or moderate poverty. Another element -- which I think we have to pay attention to -- is the fact that in the developed world, there has been an increase, an absolute increase in poverty, notably in this continent of Europe."Ryder says the recent worsening of economic conditions in Asia and Latin America suggests a cloudy future for poverty reduction efforts there. He noted that economic growth does not mean a reduction in poverty.He says income inequality is beginning to increase after dropping for many years. He says that hurts the ability of people to get out of poverty."In addition, the ability of growth to reduce poverty is compromised by the inequitable income distribution, showing that the rich are taking a disproportionately high share of the benefits of growth and, in a way, could be considered partly responsible for this perpetuation of poverty." The ILO says United Nations' efforts to end poverty everywhere are at risk of failing.I'm Bryan Lynn.。

Two Studies Give a Lift to Running BarefootResearchers say the design of most running shoes may increase the risk of injuries. But runners have to be careful if they want to give up shoes. Transcript of radio broadcast:02 February 2010This is the VOA Special English Health Report.Two new studies suggest that modern running shoes could increase the risk of injuries to runners.One study involved sixty-eight healthy young women and men who ran at leastAP PhotoRick Roeber has run barefoot since 2003Researchersfrom the JKM Technologies company in Virginia, the University of Virginia and the University of Colorado did the study.They found that running shoes create more stress that could damage knees, hips and ankle joints than running barefoot. They observed that the effect was even greaterThe study appeared in the official scientific journal of the American Academy of Physical Medicine.The other study appeared in the journal Nature. It compared runners in the United States and Kenya. The researchers were from Harvard University in Massachusetts, Moi University in Kenya and the University of Glasgow in Scotland.They divided the runners into three groups. One group had always run shoeless. Another group had always run with shoes. And the third group had changed to shoeless running.Runners who wear shoes usually come down heel first. That puts great force on the back of the foot. But the study found that barefoot runners generally land on the front or middle of their foot. That way ease into their landing and avoid striking their heel. Harvard's Daniel Lieberman led the study. He says the way most running shoes are designed may explain why those who wear them land on their heels. The heel of the shoe is bigger and heavier than other parts of the shoe, so it would seem more likely landings. But the researchers do not suggest that runners immediately start running barefoot. They say it takes some training. And there can be risks, like running when your feet The study was partly supported by Vibram,a kind is like running barefoot. The findings have gotten a lot of attention. But the researchers say there are many problems in the way the press has reported on their paper. So they have tried to explain their findings on a Harvard Web site. For a link, go to .And that's the VOA Special English Health Report, written by Caty Weaver.

Millions of babies and children could soon be protected against the deadly disease pneumonia. Two leading drug companies have agreed to supply vaccines against pneumococcal disease to the world’s poorest countries at a reduced price. Pﬁzer and GlaxoSmithKline signed the historic Advance Market Commitment agreement in March. The Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations, or GAVI, helped negotiate the deal. The group says the low cost vaccines could save as many as seven million lives by the year twenty thirty.
These are all reasons why GAVI chose the pneumococcal vaccine for its ﬁrst Advance Market Commitment project. The private-public partnerships are designed to increase the availability of low cost vaccines in poor areas.
Farmers planted more of their best crops, or cash crops, for export. They planted fewer food crops for local use. Less costly rice came into the ports of Gambia and Ivory Coast. Many city people in those countries liked the cheap rice more than rice grown locally.

GlaxoSmithKline and Pﬁzer are the ﬁrst two drug companies to take part. They have agreed to provide thirty million doses of the vaccine each year for ten years. The ﬁrst twenty percent of the vaccines will sell for seven dollars a dose. The remaining eighty percent will cost three dollars and ﬁfty cents per dose. That is ninety per cent less than current prices in the United States.
