1.Corruption alleged as tainted vaccineskill Chinese childrenFOR Wang Mingliang, the birth of a son should have been the start of a season of joy in his village at the rural heart of northern China.But his little boy, Xiao’er, lived just seven months before he suffered convulsions and a fever, then died. Wang said Xiao’er fell ill after vaccinations against tuberculosis and hepatitis. ―My who le family is plunged in sorrow,‖ he said.―Our son was vaccinated by the hospital and they sterilised my wife to conform to the birth control policy. Now my son is dead and my wife can have no more children.‖His son was among thousands of children given tainted vaccines in a scandal that reporters and medical staff allege has left four dead and 74 handicapped.Wang is one of more than 70 parents who have tried to sue the health authorities in Shanxi province. The courts and health officials have rejected their claims, saying that an inquiry found no connection between vaccines and the children’s health problems.In response to public outrage, however, the health ministry has ordered an inquiry after Wang Keqiang, one of China’s top investigative reporters, revealed a web of alleged corruption and incompetence that put many children at risk.The vaccines were stored without refrigeration by a firm that had won a distribution monopoly, said his report in the China Economic Times.Other cases listed by the paper included Yan Yan, a girl of two, in a vegetative state; Qiang Qian, a boy of eight who suffers convulsions; and Jun Jun, a boy with brain damage.The scandal has put the press in open conflict with bureaucrats and has led censors to banish the original story from the internet.The report was ―basically not true‖, said Li Shukai, the local deputy health director, in an interview with Xinhua, the state news agency.Doctors and a whistleblower, who was a senior official at the provincial disease control centre, have backed the journalist. ―Our report was based on a six-month inquiry and interviews with the families of36 victims plus testimony, videos and documents,‖ the reporter said. ―I knew before writing the article they’d try to hush it up.‖Chen Tao’an,the whistleblower, said he had watched millions of batches of vaccines dumped ―like potatoes‖ in the open air, exposed to sunlight or kept in hot rooms by the Beijing Huawei Biomedical company. Vaccines should be kept at tightly controlled temperatures.―I reported this to higher officials more than 30 times but every time my report sank into oblivion,‖ Chen said.Officials were unable to stem a tide of criticism as more alleged instances of contaminated medicine came to light. These included 400,000 people in the eastern city of Hangzhou who were given fake hepatitis vaccine and an official report that 210,000 faulty batches of rabies vaccine had been found in 27 provinces.2. North Korea executes top official Pak Nam Gi who oversaw currency revaluation Th e North Korean official who oversaw last year’s disastrous currency revaluation has been executed by firing squad, according to reports from South Korea.Pak Nam Gi, the former finance director of the ruling Workers’ Party, was shot in Pyongyang last week, according to the Yonhap news agency and a South Korean newspaper.Yonhap quoted an unidentified North Korean source saying that the official had been convicted of treason for ―ruining the national economy as the son of a big landlord who infiltrated the ranks of revolutionaries‖.It is more likely that he has been made a scapegoat for one of the most unpopular moves by the North Korean regime since the deadly famine of the 1990s.3. Google may pull out of China by AprilGoogle could pull out of China as early as April 10, a Chinese newspaper reported today quoting an authorised agent for the search engine.The decision and departure date could be announced on Monday –the day after the company’s staff are due to receive their annual year-end bonus, the Chinese Business News reported.The agent said: ―I have received information that Google will leave China on April 10, but thisin formation has not at present been confirmed by Google.‖Google China spokeswoman Marsha Wang declined to comment on the report.Speculation has been rife as to whether and when Google would pull out and which of its services would be affected after it announced in January that it could no longer submit to contractual obligations on censorship of its search engine after cyberattacks from China aimed at its source code and the Gmail accounts of several human rights activists.Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt said last week he hoped to have an outcome soon from talks with Chinese officials on offering an uncensored search engine in the country.However, the chances that Chinese authorities will agree to such a request are believed to be zero.In the meantime, Google has continued to filter results to abide by Chinese regulations but it said it if China did not permit it to cease the screening it would be forced to withdraw from the market.However, its search engine, which is hosted on an offshore server, is unlikely to be affected unless Chinese cyber censors decide to block the service. Youtube, Facebook and Twitter are all blocked in China and the Great Firewall also prevents access to many other sites deemed to contain sensitive content.China’s enormous online population of more than 340 million is eager to know if such services as Gmail, Google Earth, its Chinese music search business and the popular Chinese version of its knowledge market site, Google Answers, will remain accessible after the closing of . That Chinese language search engine will remain operational outside the mainland market.Google has built up an estimated 36 per cent market share since it opened the search engine in China in 2006 while its huge competitor, the domestic Baidu, dominates the market.4. Beijing turned orange as sandstorm sweeps inTons of sand turned Beijing's sky orange as the strongest sandstorm this year hit northern China, a gritty reminder that the country's expanding deserts have led to a sharp increase in the storms.The sky glowed yesterday and a thin dusting of sand covered Beijing, causing workers and tourists to cover their faces with masks in the vast Tiananmen Square. The city's weather bureau gave air quality a rare hazardous ranking.Air quality is ―very bad for the health‖, China's national weather bureau warned. It said people shou ld cover their mouths when outside and keep doors and windows closed.China's expanding deserts now cover one-third of the country because of overgrazing, deforestation, urban sprawl and drought. The shifting sands have led to a sharp increase in sandstorms — the grit from which can travel as far as the western United StatesThe Chinese Academy of Sciences has estimated that the number of sandstorms has jumped six-fold in the past 50 years to two dozen a year.The latest sandstorm also hit the regions of Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia and the provinces of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Hebei, affecting about 250 million people over an area of 312,000 square miles.As the sandstorm moved southeast, South Korea's national weather agency issued a yellow dust advisory for Seoul and other parts of the country.Chun Youngsin, a researcher at the Korea Meteorological Administration, said the yellow dust was expected to hit the Korean peninsula yesterday afternoon and it would be ―the worst yellow dust‖ this year.Some flights at Beijing's international airport were delayed but eventually took off. Skies were cleared in the city by midday, but a warning of more dusty weather remained in place until this afternoon.―I think this kind of natural disaster is caused by human acti vity, but I don't know the exact reason, and I don't know exactly what we can do to prevent this,‖ said Beijing resident Shi Chunyan.China has planted thousands of acres of vegetation in recent years to stop the spread of deserts in its north and west, but experts have said the work will take decades.―The challenges ahead are still huge‖, China said in a report to the United Nations in 2006.The worst recent sandstorm to hit Beijing was in 2006, when about 300,000 tons of sand were dumped on the capital.―The situation improved tremendously after that. Thanks to the mild climate and conservation efforts, Beijing had only one sandstorm last year,‖ Guo Hu, head of the Beijing Meteorological Station, told Xinhua.The closest desert area to Beijing is about 500 miles away, in the region of Inner Mongolia. China's dust storms were at their worst in the 1950s and '60s after campaigns to raise farm and factory output following the 1949 communist revolution stripped the soil of vegetation.Because of those campaigns, archaeologists have found that sandstorms are reducing somepacked-earth sections of the Great Wall in western China to mounds of dirt that may disappear in 20 years.5. Chinese Official’s Threat Sets Off a Media FurorBy SHARON LaFRANIERE and JONATHAN ANSFIELDPublished: March 21, 2010BEIJING — In another era, the brusque response of Li Hongzhong, the governor of Hubei Province, to a reporter’s question about a scandal on his home turf might have been the end of it.Infuriated that the reporter would even ask about the case — in which a waitress at a karaoke bar killed a government official in self-defense — he threatened to go to her boss, seized her audio recorder and marched off, according to reports of the encounter.But instead of fizzling out, the March 7 episode has blossomed into a cause célèbre for free-press advocates in China. In a rare display of unity, journalists, lawyers, academics and activists posted a letter of protest on the Internet demanding the governor’s resignation.Two Communist Party elders publicly condemned his behavior. And a storm of discussion erupted online before the authorities could contain it.Chinese media analysts say the reaction was a sign of a slow boil in the media over tighter government restraints. While the authorities have effectively reined in the media in the last year, Chang Ping, a prominent media commentator, said the Internet had vastly complicated their task.―When the government tries to contain something, it could achieve the op posite result, spurring people on instead of putting people off,‖ he said. Mr. Chang, who was forced out as deputy editor of Southern Metropolis Weekly in 2008 for challenging censorship, said the controversy had given journalists ―a chance to vent all their anger and frustrations.‖The governor’s outburst happened at a moment when many journalists are chafing under the incessant orders and regulations of state censors. Some liberal members of the media are agitating for more freedom, even as the government bolsters state-controlled news agencies and expands its control over mass communication, from cellphone messages to individual Web sites.Just before the opening this month of the National People’s Congress, the editors of 13 newspapers published a joint editorial calling for the reform of household registration laws that deprive migrants of public services. Propaganda authorities responded by ordering the dismissal of a prominent editor behind the effort and warning others.Governor Li’s confrontation with the reporter neatly illustrates the yawning gap between the government’s promises of openness and accountability and the daily reality of censorship. Just two days earlier, Prime Minister Wen Jiabao, reading aloud his annual report to the Nat ional People’s Congress, China’s legislature, cited the need for the government to ―let the news media fully play their oversight role.‖Yet Mr. Li, a delegate to the legislature, grew indignant when a Beijing reporter buttonholed him outside a conference chamber at the Great Hall of the People and asked for his thoughts about the case of the karaoke waitress. The 21-year-old waitress had fatally stabbed a local party official after he and a companion tried to force her into sex at a karaoke parlor.Despite official efforts to suppress the scandal, the waitress’s arrest on murder charges incited online fury, drawing worldwide attention and turning the waitress into a national hero. The charges were reduced, and she was freed without serving a prison term.By all accounts, Mr. Li did not take the question well. He asked the reporter, identified as Liu Jie, which publication she represented. When she said she wrote f or People’s Daily, the Communist Party’s paper of record, he exploded.―So you’re from a party paper!‖ he scolded. ―Is this how a party paper guides public opinion? I’m going to the chief of your paper!‖。

English is a Crazy LanguageLet's face it -- English is a crazy language.There is no egg in eggplant(n.茄子) nor ham in hamburger(n.汉堡); neither apple nor pine in pineapple(n.菠萝).

But if we explore its paradoxes （自相矛盾,悖论）, we find that quicksand(n.流沙) can work slowly, boxing rings（拳击场地）are square（adj.方的）and a guinea pig(n.豚鼠) is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?

Happily, he began to play the course.An angel up above was watching the preacher and was quite perturbed(v.烦恼不安). He went to God and said, "Look at the preacher. He should be punished for what he is doing."God nodded in agreem ent. The preacher teed up（把球放在球座上）on the first hole.
