Olympic torch begins North Korea leg奥运圣火开始在朝鲜的传递

 An attentive and peaceful crowd of thousands watched the start of the relay in Pyongyang, some waving Chinese flags, in live footage from broadcaster APTN. The event was presided over by the head of the country's rubber-stamp parliament who often acts as a ceremonial state leader, Kim Yong Nam.
APTN广播现场报道 -- 在平壤,关注奥运的几千人井然有序地观看了奥运圣火在朝鲜的传递仪式,有些人挥动着中国的国旗。奥运圣火朝鲜传递活动的主持人是朝鲜国会成员主席Kim Yong Nam,并且Kim Yong Nam还作为奥运圣火仪式领袖出席。

The North, an ally of its communist neighbor China, has been critical of disruptions to the torch relay elsewhere and has supported Beijing in its crackdown against violent protests in Tibet. North Korea is one of the world's most tightly controlled countries, where citizens are not allowed to travel freely and civil rights are restricted by the iron-fisted regime.
北朝鲜,作为邻国中华人民共产党的同盟,已经严词谴责了其他地区对奥运圣火传播仪式的破坏,并且打击西藏暴乱分子以此支持北京奥运。北朝鲜政府是全球控制最严的政府之一,北朝鲜的人民不允许自由旅行,公民权利也受到强权政治的局限。

Kim passed the torch to the first runner Pak Du Ik, who played on the 1966 North Korean World Cup soccer team that made a historic run to the quarterfinals. As he began the 12-mile route through Pyongyang, thousands more cheering people lined city streets waving pink paper flowers and small flags with the Beijing Olympics logo.
Kim将火炬交往第一干火炬手Pak Du IkPak Du Ik1996年的北朝鲜世界杯足球赛中具有历史意义的表现使得团队进入了四分之一决赛。当他在平壤开始12英里的圣火传播时,几千欢呼人群沿着街道挥舞粉色纸花和印有北京奥运标志的小旗帜。

The sunshine’s come, the flowers dance along the river, the mountain.
It’s cold in the stream, I jump in and swim, 
being a dreamer, saying nothing in words.

Approaching to a child, ignoring the crowd.
I hear my heart beats, it’s so real.
Nameless song, I’ve sung it over the way. 

And maybe I’ll be alone to be on the tramp with the moon.
So you empty the roads leading the craft for truth.

Cause I don’t have wings to fly  so freely like birds in the sky.
I’ll have to let go of mind  to soar in the wind and smile.

In The Aeroplane Over The Sea--Neutral Milk Hotel

What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
What a beautiful dream
That could flash on the screen
In a blink of an eye and be gone from me
Soft and sweet
Let me hold it close and keep it here with me

And one day we will die
And our ashes will fly from the
aeroplane over the sea
But for now we are young
Let us lay in the sun
And count every beautiful thing we can see
Love to be
In the arms of all I'm keeping here with me

What a curious life we have found here tonight
There is music that sounds from the street
There are lights in the clouds
Anne's ghost all around
Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
Soft and sweet
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees

Now how I remember you
How I would push my fingers through
Your mouth to make those muscles move
That made your voice so smooth and sweet
And now we keep where we don't know
All secrets sleep in winter clothes
With one you loved so long ago
Now he don't even know his name

What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
And when we meet on a cloud
I'll be laughing out loud
I'll be laughing with everyone I see
Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all

News item 65

Almost thirty years ago, NASA’s mariner ten spacecraft took the most recent pictures we have of mercury, revealing a rocky surface-wrinkled like an old apple. It found a planet of extremes, with surface temperatures reaching five hundred degrees Celsius and shady crevices plummeting to minus two hundred. Later observations seemed to show ice three-one of the things Messenger will search for.

Circling the planet for a full year, instruments on board messenger will seek to solve other mysteries on Mercury. Why is its iron so big, for instance? Where does its Earth-like magnetic field come from? And where did those wrinkles-actually kilometer high cliffs stretching hundreds of kilometers across the surface-come from?

Despite the absence of a lander, Messenger will learn much about the internal workings of this strange planet. Solving its riddles will help understand how Mercury formed, along with its rocky neighbors, Venues, Mars and own planet-Earth.

Notes:
1. mercury 水星
2. crevice 裂缝
3. plummet 垂直落下
4. minus two hundred 零下200°
5. messenger 信使(宇宙飞船名)
6. magnetic field 磁场
7. cliff 绝壁
8. Lander 着陆器
9. workings(水星的)结构和运行原理
10. riddle 谜团
11. Venus 金星
12. Mars 火星

Tery Serfiel Numoreal Wood "i am an Italian teacher of math and science for students from 11 to 14, i think that it is wrong to pay students, each student has to understand that going to school he gets a wonderful opportunity to live better in the future and also in the present.

Junial living in Germany feels it will help to improve the education system, students' expectations will be much higher, Ruvar from Russia also says 'yes' to the idea, 'we should at least get something for our time wasted, because in my country students pay money to go to school or get good grades from teachers, ' and Lucy Ding from China says 'most Chinese students work hard for two reasons, their parents expectations and pressure from teachers,', she says 'getting rewards will become a custom that will get students to work hard for themselves for the things they hope to get.'
