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?

70年代中期，提线木偶秀节目的热闹欢快的场景和疯狂的熊，怪人, 鸡以及布偶青蛙卡米特共同出现在美国电视屏幕上。这个节目的片头曲独具特色，有不是想象中的歌舞杂耍秀以及高调的特别嘉宾。现在30年过去了，在一对十九世纪五十年代的夫妇的帮助下，一帮布偶们重聚在电影上，电影中的夫妇由杰森·斯格勒和艾米·亚当斯饰演。电影有很多关于时间可以任意穿越的笑话。例如猪小姐皮会穿越到电影《穿普拉达的女王》代替了吉梅丽尔·斯特里普的角色。一些新的特别的嘉宾像杰克·布莱克和大好莱坞风格的音乐。导演詹姆斯·波宾肯定深知名声的重要性。他制作了Ali G个人秀和弦乐航班真人秀。但是那些布偶们已经是他性格形成期的一部份了吗？
But first, the story of a man who fought to bring freedom and democracy to his country, the Maldives. Mohamed Nasheed remained resolute throughout repeated arrests and more than six years in prison. Then in 2008, in the Indian Ocean's first ever free fair elections of these islands, he became president. The real work, he tells us, was just beginning then, including freeing the justice system from debilitating vested interests. But when President Nasheed ordered the arrest of a top judge for corruption, he found himself forced to step down instead. He says it was a coup. His critics say that President Nasheed had become like the dictators he despised and had to go. Mohamed Nasheed told us why his story still isn't over yet.
"I wake up very early in the morning and go to bed very late at night now. I try to meet as many people as possible because there's a number of people who seems to want to meet and there's a fair amount of meetings and fair amount of discussion groups. So basically I'm spending quite time having conversations, I suppose."
"Who are you now, Mr Nasheed? You were a president just a short while ago. Who are you now?"
"All sorts of things now, I think. But basically, I suppose, there's a very big youth population in this country, more than 70% of the population in this country is below 35 years of age. And for them, I think I am an inspiration, a hope that we may be able to bring democracy back on track. It's a huge obligation, I understand. And so for many people I am many things."

首先我们来关注这样一个男人的故事：为了给祖国马尔代夫带去自由民主，他曾奋力抗争。反复多次被捕，六年多铁窗生涯，默罕默德·纳希德的坚定意志从未动摇。而后2008年，印度洋上这些小岛进行了有史以来首次自由公平的选举，他当选为总统。但他告诉我们，真正的工作直到那时才刚刚开始，包括从既得利益集团手中把司法系统独立出来，使其力量免遭削弱。但当纳希德总统下令以贪污罪名逮捕一位高级法官时，他发现自己陷入了被迫辞职的境地。他称其为政变，而他的批评者们则说纳希德总统早已变成了他自己曾嗤之以鼻的那种独裁者，因此必须下台。在采访中，默罕默德·纳希德告诉我们他的故事何以尚未结束。
“现在我早上很早就起床，晚上很晚才睡觉。我尽可能和更多的人会面，因为有那么多的人似乎都想见我，有那么多的会议和讨论会要参加。所以我觉得，基本上我现在要花大量时间在谈话上。”
“你现在是谁呢，纳希德先生？不久前你还是位总统，你现在是什么人呢？”
“集各种身份于一身吧，我想。不过最基本的一点，因为我们国家有大量人口，大约超过总人口70%的人年龄都在35岁以下，对他们而言，我想我是一股鼓舞人心的力量，是一个希望，民主仍有可能重回轨道的希望。我知道这项责任重大。所以对不同的人来说，我是不同的象征，我集多重身份于一身。”
Gold has always held an extraordinary allure. Its beauty is a key reason for that, but it's by no means the only reason. Gold is also the most malleable metal. It is of course incredibly dense, it's a wonderful conductor of electricity and heat and is also very stable. And these properties make it useful too. And that's made the yellow metal even more sought-after and never more so than now.
The gold price has fallen back this week but at just over $1,700 an ounce, it is still near its all time high. With central banks pumping money into the financial system to prevent it from seizing up, the argument for a return to the gold standard has become popular again. Those who support it
are referred to as goldbugs after Edgar Allan Poe's story about the search for buried treasure. Our economics commentator Nigel Darts, a sociologist from the London School of Economics has been considering whether goldbugs are right to be so preoccupied by gold.
Gold still incites impassioned debate. In November last year, famed economic doom-monger Nouriel Roubini and an investment banker Jim Ricards got into a day-long row on Twitter all about gold. Roubini's view held in common with most major economists is that countries trying to stick to the gold standard had been a major cause of the Great Depression, forcing them into austerity policies that made economic recovery well-nigh impossible. It's a view often repeated today, as a warning to governments in the eurozone.

金这种物质总散发出超乎寻常的诱惑力。它的外在美是一个重要原因，但是除此之外，金还有其它美的特质。金同时也是最具延展性的金属。它当然有超强的密度，是极好的导电和传热材料，还十分稳定。这些性质使得金很实用，这使得这个黄色金属更加受欢迎，并且在当今社会受追捧的程度超过以往任何时候。
本周，金价稍有回落，但仍高于每盎司1700美元，接近其历史最高价。随着各国央行不断为金融体系注入更多资金以防止其失灵，关于回到金本位体制的争论再次掀起热潮。那些支持这一观点的人们被称为“主张金本位者”，该词是引用埃德加·爱伦·坡在其讲到搜寻宝藏的故事中所用的词汇。我们的经济评论员奈杰尔·达尔茨是伦敦经济学院的一名社会学家，他一直在思考这些拥护金本位的人们如此疯狂是否理智。
“由金引发的讨论依旧激烈。去年11月份，著名的经济末日鼓吹人鲁里埃尔·鲁比尼和一位投资银行家吉姆·理查兹在推特上争论了一天之久，全是关于金的。鲁比尼的观点和众多主要经济学家的想法大致相同，他们认为，国家总是坚持金本位是导致大萧条的一个主要原因。这迫使他们选择财政紧缩政策，进一步令经济恢复的前景几近渺茫。今天，这一观点经常被提及用以警告处于欧元区的政府。”

An official in Geneva, Carla Haddad, said a joint team of the International Red Cross and Syrian Red C rescent had begun rescuing those in urgent need of medical assistanc e. 红十字会称已将第一批的7个人从叙利亚胡姆斯市Baba Amr区撤离并送至当地一家医院，日内瓦官员Carla Haddad说，一个由国际红十字会和叙利亚红新月会组成的联合团队已开始营救继续医疗救助的人。 "The ICRC teams and the Syrian Arab Red Crescent volunteers have been in Homs since the afternoon, negotiating with the Syrian authorities and the opposition to enter Baba Amr and evacuate the wounded and sick. What happened just a few moments ago is that the operation of evacuation started, and the Syrian Arab Red Crescent team entered with three ambulances inside Baba Amr and just evacuated seven women a nd children to, I mean, hospitals in Homs." “国际红十字团队和叙利亚阿拉伯红新月会的志愿者们从下午开始就在胡姆斯市忙碌着，他们与叙利亚当局和反对派协商进入Baba Amr并撤出伤病员。就在刚才，撤离行动开始了，叙利亚阿拉伯红新月会开了三辆救护车进入Baba Amr，将7名妇女和儿童撤离送至胡姆斯的医院。” The city of Homs has been under heavy bombardment for several days. As well as countless Syrians, two seriously injured foreign journalists are among those needing urgent help. 几天来，胡姆斯市一直遭受强烈轰击。除了无数叙利亚人，还有两名受伤严重的外国记者也急需援助。 The American Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says the day-long international conference on Syria held in Tunis has agreed a series of measures that should help provide more humanitarian aid to the people of the country. Mrs Clinton said the 60 countries involved would increase the pressure on the Syrian government and prepare for a dem ocratic transition. 美国国务卿希拉里称，在突尼斯举行了一整天的叙利亚问题国际会议已达成一系列措施，将为该国人民提供更多人道主义救援。希拉里说，与会的60个国家将对叙利亚政府施加更多压力，准备进行民主过渡。 "Today the friends of the Syrian people sent a strong and unified message that the Assad regime's escalating violence is an affront to the international community, a threat to regional security and a grave violation of universal human rights."

BBC News with Iain Purdon. Iain Purdon为你播报BBC新闻 The US Secretary of State Chuck Hagel has said the US is rethinking its opposition to arming Syria's rebels. It's the first time a senior American official has openly acknowledged that the administration is considering providing weapons to the rebels, although no decisions have been made. Our state department correspondent Kim Ghattas reports. 美国国防部长哈格尔表示美国正重新考虑对武装叙利亚反对派的反对态度。这是美国高官首次公开承认美国政府正在考虑给反对派提供武器，尽管目前尚未做出决定。 The American Secretary of Defence Chuck Hagel said the US administration was considering a range of options including arming the Syrian rebels, but he made clear no decisions had been made. Last year President Barack Obama rejected a proposal by his then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to arm the rebels. But as the fighting drags-on in Syria, the debate about what the US should do has intensified in Washington, and with no appetite here for direct military intervention, many US officials increasingly feel that arming the rebels is now the least worst option. American allies like Qatar and Saudi Arabia are already providing weapons to various groups fighting President Bashar al-Assad's forces. 美国国防部长哈格尔表示美国政府正在考虑一系列的选择包括给叙利亚反对派提供武装力量。但是他表明目前还未做出决定。去年奥巴马总统否决了当时国务卿希拉里给反对分子提供武装的建议。但是随着叙利亚局势的一再拖延，关于美国做法的讨论在叙利亚日益激烈。美国不愿意对叙利亚进行直接的军事介入，许多美国官员日益感到武装反对派是最不糟糕的选择。美国的盟友诸如卡塔尔和沙特都已给各种反抗政府军的组织提供武器。 President Obama has arrived in Mexico for talks that are expected to switch the focus of bilateral ties to job creation and trade rather than security issues and the war on drugs. Will Grant reports from Mexico City 奥巴马总统达到墨西哥进行访问，此次访问有望将两国关系的重心转到创造就业和贸易合作上来，而非安全问题和打击毒品。 As Mr. Obama touched down in Mexico City on his first visit since Enrique Pena Nieto took office. He was welcomed off Air Force One by the country's Foreign Minister Jose Antonio Meade and the US ambassador Antony Wayne as well as other members of the Mexican government military. President Pena Nieto was waiting for his guest at the National Palace for bilateral talks. In some way, Mr. Obama arrives with two separate agendas, one public, in which both sides have been keen to strengthen emphasis on the economy and trade; the other is private which is thought to include difficult questions about security and cross-border crime. 这是Enrique Pena Nieto 上台以来奥巴马总统首次出访墨西哥。走下空军一号专机后，奥巴马总统受到了墨西哥外长Jose Antonio Meade，美国驻墨西哥大使Antony Wayne 以及其他
1.你希望你在做谈话好吗?一个伟大的健谈的人是与人,让他们觉得自己很重 要。他们跟你说话的时候,让你觉得你房间里唯一的人。 成为一个好的沟通者需要知道三件事:第一,如何开始谈话;第二,如何保持下去;第三,如何结束它。 开始一段谈话通常意味着要有一个开口线或破冰。冰断路器最好是积极的。赞美的话总是一个很好的破冰船，通常会欣赏。任何新闻事件是一个很好的破冰。事实上，任何开口线都行，只要不是负面的，只要它不是一个谎言。为了吸引人和你谈话的最好方式就是真诚和尊重，并让他们知道你是在谈论他们的兴趣。 一旦你已经有了一个谈话，保持它的最好方法就是通过问对方问题，不需要回答是或否。问类似的问题记者会问出一个人：谁，什么，何时，哪里，为什么和如何的问题。你问的最后一个人的问题说。这就是所谓的“加工工艺”。一旦你想到你觉得有趣，不断地提问，为了得到人阐述的话题尽可能多的。一个健谈的人阐述了他们的经验。不是说党是有趣的，为什么它是有趣的。说明为什么你有一个很好的时间里，发生了什么事，它在哪里，以及人们如何安排宴会。进入细节。描述是最好的沟通方式，因为它让人们的兴趣，激发他们。 如果你开始与另一个人交谈，你有困难的结局，有几个信号可以发送给其他人，会将谈话接近尾声时不伤害任何人的感情。打破眼神接触是一种谨慎的信号，谈话即将结束。另一种信号是使用过渡词一样好，或者至少。你可能想翻新都说。无论你做什么，不要欺骗别人。如果你不感兴趣又对他们说，不要提及未来的会议可能只是出于礼貌。那是虚伪的。相反，你可以说，“很高兴见到你。”然后，离开。 最后，一定要给对方一个良好的，坚定的握手。最后你的印象会是重要的一个初始的你。 2。一般来说，是很有礼貌的说“恭喜你！“（充满激情的）当一个人已经完成的东西。这类场合的例子包括毕业，升职，孩子的出生，和一个家庭购买。当是为了祝贺，有时还适当的给的礼物，尤其是当被邀请参加一个生日，毕业，结婚，或周年晚会。 邀请可以说在下一个RSVP，指的是一个法语意思“回应”的缩写，请”。如果邀请函上说，“RSVP唯一遗憾的回应，“通过电子邮件或电话如果你不能来。 同样必须注意在悲伤的场合礼貌。如果你的同事，同学，邻居的经验在家庭中的死亡，这是适当的表示同情。在这样做的话，应该避免死亡或死亡。最好是简单地说，“我很遗憾听到你的损失。”

News 1 A 9-year-old girl in New Mexico has raised more than $500 for her little brother who needs heart surgery in Houston Texas this July. ?Addison Witulski's grandmother Kim Allred said Addison probably overheard a conversation between family members talking about the funds needed to get her little brother to treatment. " I guess she overheard her grandfather and me talking about how we’re worried about how we’re going to get to Houston, for my grandson’s heart surgery,” said Allred. She decided to go outside and have a lemonade stand and make some drawings and pictures and sell them.” That’s when Addison and her friends Erika and Emily Borden decided to sell lemonade for 50 cents a cup and sell pictures for 25 cents each.? Before Allred knew it, New Mexico State Police Officers were among the many, stopping by helping them reach a total of $568. The family turned to social media expressing their gratitude saying, “From the bottom of our hearts, we would like to deeply thank each and every person that stopped by!” Q1: Who did Addison raise money for Her little brother?

BBC新闻听力100篇 News Item 1 The Japanese government has played down concern about a possible nuclear meltdown, following a big explosion at a nuclear power station in the north of the country. The blast occurred a day after the area was hit by a powerful earthquake and tsunami. A top government of? cial, Yukio Edano, said a steel container encasing the nuclear reactor had not been ruptured by the blast. News Item 2 Fifty thousand Japanese military personnel had been ordered to join the huge rescue and relief operation following the earthquake and tsunami. More than 1,000 people are feared dead. About 400 bodies were found in the town of Rikuzentakata, and Japanese media reports say 10,000 people are unaccounted for in Minamisanriku. Damian Grammaticas in the port of Sendai says the scenes of devastation there are astonishing. News Item 3 International disaster relief teams have been sent to Japan. The United Nations said a nine strong UN team of experts would include several Japanese speakers. Britain said it was sending expert assistance after receiving a request from Japan. Singapore is also deploying an urban search and rescue team. American forces stationed in Japan have already been involved in rescue operations, and more than 50 territories and countries have offered assistance. News Item 4 As of? cials in Japan struggle to assess the extent of the damage following the tsunami caused by a massive earthquake, it’s been announced that some 300 people are known to have been killed and more than 500 are unaccounted for in the area around the northern coastal city of Sendai. The 8.9-magnitude quake, the biggest ever recorded in Japan, sent a wave of water several meters high sweeping far inland. Its epicenter was about 130km off Japan’s east coast. In the capital Tokyo, several hundred kilometers away, buildings swayed violently during the quake, which was followed by a series of powerful aftershocks. News Item 5 Slowly but relentlessly, Colonel Gaddafi’s forces seem to be winning the battle for Ras Lanuf. Opposition ? ghters are still in the town, but they are under intense pressure. The bombing from government warplanes continued today, and there’s a big plume of smoke from the oil installation which was hit a couple of days ago. There’s no sign of either the rebel ? ghters or the local population beginning to ? ee the area. If Ras Lanuf falls, it brings the frontline closer to the main opposition-held city of Benghazi.
