Britain Enters Final Day of Campaigning Before Elections
Britain's top party leaders are taking full advantage of their last day of campaigning before Britons go to the polls.
Late Wednesday night, Labor leader Gordon Brown visited steel workers on an overnight shift.
"I don't need to tell you that this election is about the future," said Brown. "It's about the future of our instry, the future of our jobs, the future of our young people."
Mr. Brown is facing a tight election. The Conservative Party, led by David Cameron, has topped the latest opinion polls. And, the Liberal Democrats -- traditionally a marginalized party in what has largely been a two-party system -- are scoring high in opinion polls.
Rodney Barker is a political academic and professor at the London School of Economics.
"The three candidates have been up to making themselves as busy as possible," explained Barker. "David Cameron, the Conservative leader, so visible that he's even worked through the night -- he hasn't slept."
Barker says this last day of campaigning is crucial, because so many Britons still have not made up their mind.
A survey published by the research group ComRes Tuesday said 2.5 million people who say they are certain to vote say they are still undecided who to vote for and more than a third of voters said it was "quite possible" they would change their mind on who to vote for by the time the polls open Thursday morning.
Rodney Barker says it is all up in the air.
"The one thing which one can say about this election -- and we haven't been able to say this for any election within living memory -- is that the only certain thing is that we cannot predict the outcome, even on the day before the poll," added Barker.
The ComRes poll shows the Conservatives winning 37 percent of votes, Labor on 29 percent and the Liberal Democrats on 26 percent.
With the votes split this way, no single party would win a majority of seats in parliament. In that case, the shape of Britain's future government will depend on coalitions.
The balance is likely to be tipped by the Liberal Democrats, but so far their leader, Nick Clegg, has refused to say whether his party would side with the Conservatives or Labor.
Barker says what this means is that it could be weeks before the composition of Britain's future government becomes clear.
"Even when we know the result of the election, we may not know what the result is in terms of government -- who will successfully make a deal with who to make what sort of government," noted Barker.
If no single party is able to win a majority of parliament seats, current Prime Minister Gordon Brown would have the right to stay in office until a new government can be formed.

Shanghai tweaks child rules
生还是不生？上海放宽二胎限制
为应对日趋严重的人口老龄化趋势，上海市鼓励符合再生育条件的夫妻生育二胎。 Eligible couples in the city are for the first time being encouraged to have a second child, as authorities make an effort to tackle the burden of an aging population.
按照政策，双方都为独生子女的夫妻能生育第二个子女。上海市人口计生委员会和志愿者们会上门拜访、发送传单鼓励他们生育二胎。此外，他们还将为后者提供情感和经济上的咨询指导。 Family planning officials and volunteers will make home visits and slip leaflets under doorways to encourage couples to have a second child if both grew up as only children. Emotional and financial counseling will also be provided, officials said.
市人口计划生育委员会主任谢玲丽表示：“我们鼓励符合再生育条件的夫妻生二胎，以降低上海市老年人口比例，缓解将来劳动力紧缺情况。” "We advocate eligible couples to have two kids because it can help rece the proportion of the aging people and alleviate a workforce shortage in the future," said Xie Lingli, director of the Shanghai Population and Family Planning Commission.
上海是国内人口最多的城市，市民中年龄在60岁以上者约有300多万人，约占上海总人口数的22％。预计到2020年，该比例将达到34％。 Shanghai, the country's most populous city, has more than 3 million registered residents aged 60 and above, nearly 22 percent of the population. By 2020, the proportion is expected to rise to about 34 percent.
近年来，国内的计划生育政策有所放宽，允许双方都是独生子女的夫妻生育二胎。 The country's family planning policy has been relaxed in recent years, allowing couples who are the only children in their families to have a second child.
谢玲丽强调：“老年人口数量的不断升高将给青壮年和整个社会带来压力。我们要解决这个问题，但这并不表示我们要推翻计划生育政策。” "The rising number of aging people will put pressure on the younger generation and society. We need to find ways to solve the problem, but it doesn't mean the country's family planning policy will be reversed," Xie stressed.
消息传出后，上海市的一名销售人员拍手称快。 One salesman was cheered by the new attitude in Shanghai.
今年25岁的小王在当地一家公司上班，他和女朋友都是家里唯一的孩子。他说：“我还不确定将来是否会要两个孩子，但这项政策让我们有更多的选择机会。如果经济状况允许，我们将来想要两个孩子。” "I'm not sure, but such policy really gives us one more option. If family finance permits, I want to have two kids with my wife in the future," said 25-year-old Xiao Wang, who works at a local company. He and his girlfriend are both single children in their families.
但是，也不是所有市民都欢迎这样的政策。 However, not all residents are so keen on the idea.
26岁的小陈是一名上班族。他说：“我就不想要以后生两个孩子。毕竟，养孩子的压力太大了。” "I don't think we will have a second kid," said 26-year-old Xiao Chen, an office worker. "After all, it is stressful work raising a child."

6. 急求20条英语新闻
On Sunday, several hundred engineers and scientists will gather at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., and await the end of the Galileo spacecraft in a suicide plunge into Jupiter''s dense atmosphere.
周日，数百名工程师和科学家,将聚集在加利福尼亚州的帕沙德纳的喷气推进实验室，静候伽利略号航天飞机自杀性插入木星周围稠密大气层的结局。
They are the kind of professionals who try to resist anthropomorphizing their machines, even one like Galileo, which has been a longtime companion in their lives and careers. But they freely concede that they will be there at the end as an act of homage.
这些专家尽力阻止使机器人性化，即便是相处很久的伽利略号。但他们不得不勉强的承认他们会满怀敬意的守到最后时刻。
"It will be the equivalent of a wake," said Dr. Claudia Alexander, manager of the project.
“它将是一个有意义的轨迹”，这个项目负责人Claudia Alexander博士评论道。
Few flight teams have had to contend with a spacecraft more demanding of their attention and ingenuity.
很少飞行队要求航空飞船有更多的注意力和灵活性。
Launched in 1989 after a long delay caused by the loss of the space shuttle Challenger in 1986, Galileo took six years going to Jupiter, almost half a billion miles away, by a circuitous route dictated by the limited power of its initial rocket boost.
由于1986挑战者号航空飞船的坠毁，推迟了很久的伽利略号终于于1989年发射。它花了6年的时间到达木星，几乎走了5亿英里距离。
From then on, the three-ton spacecraft was tormented by as many afflictions as poor Job.
从那时起，3吨重的航空飞船被认为是一项要多痛苦有多痛苦的乏味工作
The main antenna, the one that scientists counted on for the return of pictures and data of Jupiter and its four largest moons, failed to unfurl. Engineers had to rely on a smaller antenna and an improvised system of data shorthand.
科学家们所指望的用于返回木星和他的四个最大的卫星的图片和数据的主要天线没能正常打开，因此他们不得不依靠一个小型天线和一个临时准备的数据速记系统。
Galileo was further hobbled by an erratic tape recorder. After the craft began orbiting Jupiter in 1995, repeated zappings from the planet''s intense radiation belts damaged other instruments.
伽利略号又被一个漂浮在太空的磁带录音机所拖累。在飞船1995年后围绕木星轨道运动时，从行星的强辐射带发射的循坏的跳过节目的辐射损坏了其他一些仪器。
In nearly all cases, engineers managed to reprogram software to overcome or work around the setbacks. As recently as last November, in its last encounter with a Jovian moon, tiny Amalthea, the spacecraft "got hammered again by radiation," Dr. Alexander said.
在所有的情况中，工程师们试图重新编写软件以克服遇到的挫折。去年十一月份，在它的最后一次与木星的卫星木卫五相遇时， “飞船又被辐射给破坏了,” Alexander博士说。
The spacecraft''s fault-detection system came to the rescue once again, turning off nearly all operations and saving the science data from the encounter.
飞船的错误监察系统再次起了作用：它几乎关闭了所有操作并将相遇的全部科学数据记录了下来。
But the tape recorder was left stuck. Flight controllers applied electrical current to the recorder, on and off and on again, repeatedly, until the molecular structure was altered enough to unstick the recorder for transmitting data.
但是磁带记录机却粘着了。飞行控制器应用了电流将记录机反复地打开关上，直至分子结构改变才使磁带与记录机分开。
"Miracles continued to happen on this mission," Dr. Alexander said.
“奇迹再度发生，”Claudia Alexander博士说。
Indeed, in spite of everything, scientists rate Galileo as one of the most successful missions of planetary exploration. Galileo''s eight-year orbit of Jupiter included several close encounters of each of Jupiter''s major satellites, Ganymede, Callisto, Io and Europa. No two were found to be anything alike.
确实，尽管发生了种种事故，科学家认为伽利略号是行星探索任务中最成功的一次。在伽利略号围绕着木星的八年的轨道上，它与木星的几颗主要的卫星有过好几次近距离接触，比如Ganymede, Callisto, Io and Europa。它们中没有任何两个是相同的。
Ganymede is not only the largest moon in the solar system, but it is also larger than Mercury and Pluto. Galileo discovered that Ganymede had a strong magnetic field, "something no one thought a moon would have," said Dr. Rosaly Lopes-Gautier, a member of the project''s science team.
Ganymede在太阳系中不是最大的卫星，但他要比Mercury 和冥王星大多了。伽利略号发现Ganymede还有强磁场。“这是从来没有任何人都想到卫星会有磁场，”小组的一个项目负责人Rosaly Lopes-Gautier博士说。
Icy Callisto appears to be the most heavily cratered object in the solar system. Io is bubbling with erupting volcanoes, 152 by Dr. Lopes-Gautier''s latest count. The phenomenon was discovered on previous flybys by Voyager spacecraft, but Galileo determined how plentiful and persistent the eruptions are. The lava flows are hotter than anything seen on Earth in two billion years.
冰冻的木卫四看上去像是太阳系中表面坑洞最多的一个星体。Io的火山正在爆发。据Rosaly Lopes-Gautier 博士最近的统计，至少有152个。这个现象早先就被经过的航行者号发现过，但伽利略号却更详细地展示了这些爆发是多么的壮观和持久。四处流淌的熔浆比地球在近二十亿年间的任何东西都要热。
Europa has given scientists the most reason to celebrate and speculate. In Galileo''s eight flybys, the appearance of Europa''s frozen crust suggested that it covered an immense ocean. And where there is so much liquid water, could there also be some forms of life?
木卫二是科学家们最值得庆祝和思索的。在伽利略号八次靠近中，它的冰冻的外壳暗示了它下面覆盖的广大的海洋。这么多的液态水的地方，会不会也有某些形式的生命存在呢？
That discovery sealed Galileo''s ultimate fate. If the spacecraft, after running out of maneuvering fuel, should crash into Europa, it might contaminate that moon with stowaway microbes from Earth and confound future searchers for indigenous life. So the decision was made to vaporize the spacecraft by putting it on a collision course with Jupiter.
这个发现决定了伽利略的最终命运。如果它用完燃料后坠落在木卫二上，它可能会因从地球携带的微生物污染这个星球，并会混淆以后关于这个卫星上的本土生命的研究。因此，一致决定将伽利略号的航道调整，使其与木星相撞而坠毁。
"The course is unalterable," Dr. Alexander said. "The last fuel was expended several months ago, to make sure we hit the planet."
“它的命运是无法改变的，”亚历山大博士说，“最后的燃料数月前已经被扔掉以保证它将在木星上坠毁。”
Tracking data show that the craft, traveling 30 miles a second toward the end, will crash into Jupiter on its night side. At 12:50 p.m., Pacific time, the old Galileo hands in Pasadena, hearing no radio signal, will know that their spacecraft is no more.
飞船的轨道数据显示了它以每秒3 0英里的速度撞入木星的黑面。在太平洋时间凌晨0:50分，岁月苍苍的伽利略号将失去讯号。此时，它已经坠毁了。

Seven Wonders of Ancient Egypt 探秘古埃及金字塔
The pilgrims that come here today are following the footsteps of those who have come here for 17 centuries. It is gratifying to see people who come here as casual tourists and then become aware of the tremendous spiritual heritage that is here, and they come as tourists and they leave as pilgrims.
From this site, Moses is believed to have shown his people the way to their promised land, and the Jewish nation was born.
Egypt had long had its own icons in mythologies. The most mysterious of all is the largest free-standing stone sculpture in the world. No one is certain who it represents or even who built it. Half human, half animal, the Sphinx has long been considered the strangest icon on earth. At 60 meters long and 20 high, it guards the Giza plateau beside Egypt's two largest pyramids. For centuries, the Sphinx has been seen as the key to life. Pharaohs have worshiped at its feet. Conquerors have knelt down before it. The Sphinx has been subjected to every test, but remains an enigma. Why was it built? Why are the tunnels inside it? Which king does it represent? What power does the Sphinx hold?
They call him Father of the Terra. They are afraid of him. And, can you imagine even the locals today are afraid of the Sphinx? The people at that time were also afraid--Maybe he is just here watching you all the time.
In ancient Egyptian art, the idea of fusing animal with human was nothing new. But this was the first time a human head was sculpted onto a lion's body. And in ancient Egypt, there was only one person who could be portrayed in such a way--the pharaoh himself.
The king, being the manifestation of Egypt, he has to be virile, mighty, fearless and powerful. So, you have here the head of the king representing intelligence, but the body of a lion representing might and power.
The Sphinx stands in a vast U-shaped quarry before the Great Pyramid built by Khufu and the second pyramid built by his son Khafre. It is thought to represent one of them. But why build a sculpture in the middle of a pyramid complex?
It's cut from actual rock. So, this huge rock was standing there. So, they decided to do something with it. And that thing would have been a huge statue that would manifest the king and in the mean time, it would be a symbol for the sun god Ra.

Cuba in the toilet
Now for our "What In The World" segment. Here's what got my attention this week - a roll of toilet paper. Certainly not the normal subject for us here at GPS, but this is special toilet paper - Cuban toilet paper. It turns out Cuba may be running out of this stuff. The government has warned its citizens in recent days that they are facing a toilet paper shortage. And they added this paucity of paper could last until the end of the year, when they expect a shipment to come in.
So how did this happen? Well, the Cubans blame it on the global financial crisis and the hurricanes that they were hit with last year. Now the financial crisis is hurting everyone, but I had yet to hear shortfalls in toilet paper in other places. What I think is really at the bottom of this toilet paper crisis is Cuba's continuing commitment to its bizarre world of socialistic economics. Just two weeks ago, Raul Castro vowed, yet again, to keep communism alive in Cuba, to make sure capitalism doesn't return. In a world of flux, I suppose it is comforting to know that something stays the same.
Cuba's disastrous economy would be a joke where not for the poverty it has perpetuated among millions of Cubans. The whole country is stagnating. Fifty percent of its arable fields are going unfarmed. First and second year college students now work one month out of the year in agriculture. Its insane farm policies lead to frequent shortages of fruit, vegetables and other basic food needs, shortages even more serious than toilet paper. And all those programs they've held up for years as successes of the communist revolution - free ecation for all through college, universal healthcare. Well, Raul Castro just announced that they're gonna have to make cuts in all of these. Meanwhile, the average Cuban still earns the equivalent of less than 20 dollars per month.
Now capitalism has its problems as we have all seen, but at least we are not running out of toilet paper.

Angry typhoon victims
The military helicopters are bringing in the last of the stranded villagers now for some of their relatives and friends, who have been waiting here for days, there is relief. For others though, there is the anguish of not knowing.
"Help us, please save my children, I have been waiting four days already." Says this woman.
At her tent, anger, especially at local officials.
"They said it was safe and we didn't need to evacuate. Now there is not even a road to get back." He says.
And the man, who is the focus of much of the national blame is President Ma Ying-jeou, often confronted by angry survivors as he toured the disaster zone.
"How do you respond to people who blame you and your government, and say listen this was just all too slow to begin with, and then, when it did get underway, it just wasn't enough."
"Now, we certainly, I will take full responsibility, whatever the blame is, because, after all, I am the president of this country."
But President Ma says the slow start was because of bad weather, heavy rain left helicopters grounded.
"Once the weather is good, in one day, that is the 14th of August, we were able to evacuate 2518 people. It's a record."
But there was outrage last week, when he blamed local officials.
"They were not fully prepared."
So now he's seen comforting the grieving, apologizing, promising to do better. But as he opened the weekend baseball game, he was booed and jeered. Protesters demanded his resignation.
"We'll find out, not only to correct the mistakes, but also may try to punish the people who are responsible."
As the rescue operations slowly wind down, the focus will soon shift to rebuilding lives and communities. Taiwan's embattled president told me that simply repairing all the damage from Typhoon Morakot could take up to a year.

Japan's ramen robot
Japan's obsession with the machines has gone one step further with this creation - a ramen noodle robot chef. At the Fuamen Ramen Noodle shop in the central Japanese city of Nagoya, two robotic arms are busy serving their hungry customers, doling out nearly 80 bowls of noodles on a busy day. Kenji Nagoya, the owner of the noodle shop and a robot manufacturer, says nobody gets it as accurate as the robots.
"The benefits of using robots as Ramen chefs include the accuracy of timing in boiling noodles, precise movements in adding toppings and consistency in the taste."
Nagoya's robot factory opened the noodle shop less than a month ago to showcase its latest robotic technology. The noodle shop which sells a regular noodle bowl with a pork broth-based soup for seven dollars is yet to make profit, partly e to the large investment in the research and development of the robotic arms. But the restaurant is definitely getting a lot of attention and building its reputation. Customers say the noodles taste as good as those made by humans.
"I don't feel any difference in taste between this ramen and those cooked by human chef."
Humans are not completely out of the equation and do have to step in occasionally to prepare the soup stock, take orders and receive money. But the robot arms will take care of the rest. The machines are pre-programmed to boil noodles, pour the soup into bowls and sprinkle toppings. Customers get to watch the whole process of the automated ramen making which takes one minute and forty seconds per bowl. During downtime the robots entertain customers by demonstrating various tricks.

It's a drag
A different sort of car concern across the country - illegal street racing, putting the pedal to the metal is often glorified on the big screen, but in reality street racing can be deadly, killing dozens of people every year. It’ become such a problem in one particular Texas town that a professional track is welcoming would-be raced... Oh, I should say drag racers, in an effort to keep the danger off the public roadways.
It’s not NASCAR and it’s definitely not Indy. “One, two.” But these races at the Texas Motor Speedway may be much more important.
"We are trying to get people off the streets from doing this illegally.”
And with good reason, just last week, a teen died in a drag racing accident in Fort Worth. Across the country about 30 people die each year in racing accidents. So officials at the Texas Motor Speedway came up with the plan - open this racetrack to everyone.
"It’s an eighth of a mile, so we try to pair them up to where my PT Cruiser isn't racing as a star, you know, Mustang, Shelby Cobra.”
So far the event's been a huge success with about 125 drivers each week. Drivers paid a play just 20 bucks.
"It's just the burning-out, just not having to worry about the cops. And everything is safe.”
"Fastest I've been so far in the eighth mile was 6.1 at 114-mile-an-hour.”
Chad Marquez admits he’s done illegal drag racing before but says it’s not worth the possible jail-time or worse.
"There I read the car hurt somebody, it’s not worth it.”
Here fire crews are standing by just in case.
"Your most drags strips are a quarter of mile, so you can get going a whole lot faster than you can here, a lot of these cars aren't going, 100+ miles an hour when they get to the end. But I think it just gets back to, you know everybody’s get a little bit hot rod in them, you know, that's, that’s the appeal.”

逐步淘汰全国学校考试
在孩子7岁，11岁，14岁进行的所有的全国性的考试都可以被取消，英国某负责学校考试的机构负责人建议说。
KenBoston说一小部分学生可以参加考试，而不是监督国家标准。
这可以与针对孩子个人的“渐进性测试”方法结合起来，他对《时代周刊》说。
政府表示，并不打算取消国家测试，并称国家测试体制能够激励学生进步。
批评者表示，考试为教师制造了太多负担，同时使得课堂活动过于狭窄的只以考试为重点。
抽样：
Boston先生，QCA（可以译为资质和课程委员会）首席执行官，称通过抽样调查可以获得更细化的结果。
测试被安排由全英国所有7岁，11岁，14岁的孩子参加。测试结果构成学校排名表的基础。
Boston先说对时代周刊说，"在10年内用相同的试卷进行抽样测试可以给出比当前结果更细化的结论"
“就目前来看，测试应该保留，但是当渐进性测试得以实施，并且小学生在整个关键阶段（译者注：这里面所谓关键阶段就是指在英国国家教育体系下将儿童学习划分的几个阶段，分别是：5-7，7-11，11-14，14-16）的表现信息可以由此获得时，我们可以考虑从另一个方式获取全国性的信息”
新的资质：
一位教育与技术部门新闻发言人说，该部门正在就有关提案进行咨询，该提案意图让孩子参加更多测试，从他们有能力参加考试的一刻起，而不是直到一个漫长的关键阶段的最后才参加考试。
他还说“很多好学校已经在第五年的时候开展可选的国家测试，或者将第三阶段的考试提前一年”
波士顿先生还建议，应该允许英国航空公司、玛莎公司等雇主提供资质认证。
他说这种内部员工的业务培训，将有助于缩小技能方面的差距。
Boston先生说他设想的制度下，英国航空公司可以提供航空客运事务的资质认定。
他说“企业每年花费330亿英镑用于培训，其中大量活动都不受监管”
Boston先生将在QCA发布其年度报告后再度发言。
