is also being used to feed children in Malawi, Ethiopia and the Democratic Republic of Congo. And, Plumpy’nut was used to help feed victims of tsunami waves in the Indian Ocean in December, two thousand four.

VOICE ONE:

The substance can be given to families without the need to go to feeding centers. It comes ready to eat. It does not have to be mixed with water, the way dry milk does. Clean drinking water is often in short supply in crisis situations. Nutriset says Plumpy'nut can stay fresh for two years. Individual servings are ninety-two grams.

Michel Lescanne started Nutriset in nineteen eighty-six to make food for humanitarian aid. The company has a small factory in Malaunay, France. It says it reinvests its profits into research and development. Nutriset also makes products like dry milk that are traditionally used to fight hunger. In times of crisis, the company will set up emergency operations twenty-four hours a day.

VOICE TWO:

The Institute for One World Health is the first not-for-profit drug company in the United States. It is working to improve the health of the world’s poorest people. Victoria Hale started the company in two thousand. The institute develops safe and low-cost medicines for people with infectious diseases in the developing world.

The Institute for One World Health identifies possible new drugs that have been developed but not fully tested. Often, drug companies will research and develop medicines to treat diseases that affect poor people. However, such projects often end because of a lack of money.

VOICE ONE:

This is when Doctor Hale’s company steps in. The institute gains the rights to promising drugs and develops them into safe, effective medicines. The institute works with local organizations to manufacture and provide the drugs after they receive government approval.

One of the company’s biggest successes was the drug paromomycin. It is used to treat infections caused by organisms called parasites.

The Institute for One World Health believes paromomycin can effectively treat the most dangerous form of leishmaniasis. This disease is spread by the bite of a sand fly insect. Visceral leishmaniasis is the worst form of the disease. One and one-half million people around the world are infected with the disease. Victims will die if they are not treated. Most victims of visceral leishmaniasis are in Bangladesh, Brazil, India, Nepal and Sudan.

VOICE TWO:

The World Health Organization started testing paromomycin as a treatment for visceral leishmaniasis in two thousand one. Small studies proved the drug was safe and effective. However, larger tests comparing the drug with existing treatments were suspended because of a lack of money.

The Institute for One World Health then took action. The company gained legal rights to paromomycin. It completed a full scientific study of the drug in India. It did so with financial support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Tests proved that paromomycin works as well as a more costly drug currently used against visceral leishmaniasis. The institute plans to seek approval for paromomycin in India. (MUSIC)

VOICE ONE:

Millions of children around the world suffer from an easily corrected medical condition called cleft lip. A cleft is a separation in the lip of the mouth. Children can also suffer from cleft palate. That is a separation in the top of the mouth or the soft tissue in the back of the mouth.

Cleft lip or palate normally develops in the early weeks of pregnancy. Researchers believe that genetic material passed on to children from their parents may cause cleft lip or palate. Environmental influences like sickness, drugs, smoking and alcohol use during pregnancy may also cause the condition.

VOICE TWO:

A simple operation performed on children between nine and eighteen months old can repair this condition. Doctors say that without the operation children in developing countries are more likely to suffer a life of poor nutrition. They also may suffer condemnation and separation from their communities.

The Smile Train is an American organization working to end this problem. It provides local doctors in developing countries with training and equipment needed to perform cleft operations. The Smile Train has services and programs in more than fifty countries.

VOICE ONE:

Pakistan is one example. The Smile Train has provided money, equipment and training to the Allied Hospital at the Punjab Medical College. The organization has also provided equipment and training to Malaysia’s medical community. And in Bosnia and Herzegovina, The Smile Train has given the University Clinic Center in Sarajevo aid to improve its cleft care for poor children.

The organization was started in nineteen ninety-nine. Every year since then, it has provided free cleft operations to more than thirty-five thousand children around the world. Local doctors do the operations, which take as little as forty-five minutes. The Smile Train pays for the operations with money it collects. It says the average cost for the operation is about two hundred fifty dollars.

(MUSIC)

VOICE TWO:

Some places in the world still do not have electric power. In fact, a group called SELF estimates that about two thousand million people, or one in three, do not have electricity. This American organization is working to change the situation.

SELF is short for the Solar Electric Light Fund. It provides communities and governments with solar electric systems. These systems use what is called photovoltaic technology to change sunlight into electricity. The group says solar electric systems can be set up quickly in any village anywhere in the world. And they are safe for the environment.

VOICE ONE:

A small solar electric system can provide a home, school or health center with several hours of electricity each day. Collectors placed on top of a building take in heat from the sun. This energy is then sent to a storage battery used to power equipment. A special charge controller is also needed to help direct the flow of electricity.

SELF has solar electric programs in many developing countries. In South Africa, two schools along the country’s east coast use solar electric systems for lighting, televisions and computer centers. And in Brazil, scientists working in the Amazon rainforest use a solar electric system to power satellite communications equipment. Researchers communicate with other teams working in the rainforest.

VOICE TWO:

SELF says energy from the sun is the only dependable way to meet the electricity needs of poor villages. Many communities still use candles, batteries and fuel-powered lights at night. Health centers do not have power to keep medicines cold. Schools have no electricity for copy machines or computers.

The group says solar energy, combined with wireless communications technology, can help bring less developed parts of the world into the twenty-first century.

最新The_Monster课文翻译

Deems Taylor: The Monster 怪才他身材矮小,头却很大,与他的身材很不相称——是个满脸病容的矮子。他神经兮兮,有皮肤病,贴身穿比丝绸粗糙一点的任何衣服都会使他痛苦不堪。而且他还是个夸大妄想狂。他是个极其自负的怪人。除非事情与自己有关,否则他从来不屑对世界或世人瞧上一眼。对他来说,他不仅是世界上最重要的人物,而且在他眼里,他是惟一活在世界上的人。他认为自己是世界上最伟大的戏剧家之一、最伟大的思想家之一、最伟大的作曲家之一。听听他的谈话,仿佛他就是集莎士比亚、贝多芬、柏拉图三人于一身。想要听到他的高论十分容易,他是世上最能使人筋疲力竭的健谈者之一。同他度过一个夜晚,就是听他一个人滔滔不绝地说上一晚。有时,他才华横溢;有时,他又令人极其厌烦。但无论是妙趣横生还是枯燥无味,他的谈话只有一个主题:他自己,他自己的所思所为。他狂妄地认为自己总是正确的。任何人在最无足轻重的问题上露出丝毫的异议,都会激得他的强烈谴责。他可能会一连好几个小时滔滔不绝,千方百计地证明自己如何如何正确。有了这种使人耗尽心力的雄辩本事,听者最后都被他弄得头昏脑涨,耳朵发聋,为了图个清静,只好同意他的说法。他从来不会觉得,对于跟他接触的人来说,他和他的所作所为并不是使人产生强烈兴趣而为之倾倒的事情。他几乎对世间的任何领域都有自己的理

论,包括素食主义、戏剧、政治以及音乐。为了证实这些理论,他写小册子、写信、写书……文字成千上万,连篇累牍。他不仅写了,还出版了这些东西——所需费用通常由别人支付——而他会坐下来大声读给朋友和家人听,一读就是好几个小时。他写歌剧,但往往是刚有个故事梗概,他就邀请——或者更确切说是召集——一群朋友到家里,高声念给大家听。不是为了获得批评,而是为了获得称赞。整部剧的歌词写好后,朋友们还得再去听他高声朗读全剧。然后他就拿去发表,有时几年后才为歌词谱曲。他也像作曲家一样弹钢琴,但要多糟有多糟。然而,他却要坐在钢琴前,面对包括他那个时代最杰出的钢琴家在内的聚会人群,一小时接一小时地给他们演奏,不用说,都是他自己的作品。他有一副作曲家的嗓子,但他会把著名的歌唱家请到自己家里,为他们演唱自己的作品,还要扮演剧中所有的角色。他的情绪犹如六岁儿童,极易波动。心情不好时,他要么用力跺脚,口出狂言,要么陷入极度的忧郁,阴沉地说要去东方当和尚,了此残生。十分钟后,假如有什么事情使他高兴了,他就会冲出门去,绕着花园跑个不停,或者在沙发上跳上跳下或拿大顶。他会因爱犬死了而极度悲痛,也会残忍无情到使罗马皇帝也不寒而栗。他几乎没有丝毫责任感。他似乎不仅没有养活自己的能力,也从没想到过有这个义务。他深信这个世界应该给他一条活路。为了支持这一信念,他

高中外研社英语选修六Module5课文Frankenstein's Monster

Frankenstein's Monster Part 1 The story of Frankenstein Frankenstein is a young scientist/ from Geneva, in Switzerland. While studying at university, he discovers the secret of how to give life/ to lifeless matter. Using bones from dead bodies, he creates a creature/ that resembles a human being/ and gives it life. The creature, which is unusually large/ and strong, is extremely ugly, and terrifies all those/ who see it. However, the monster, who has learnt to speak, is intelligent/ and has human emotions. Lonely and unhappy, he begins to hate his creator, Frankenstein. When Frankenstein refuses to create a wife/ for him, the monster murders Frankenstein's brother, his best friend Clerval, and finally, Frankenstein's wife Elizabeth. The scientist chases the creature/ to the Arctic/ in order to destroy him, but he dies there. At the end of the story, the monster disappears into the ice/ and snow/ to end his own life. Part 2 Extract from Frankenstein It was on a cold November night/ that I saw my creation/ for the first time. Feeling very anxious, I prepared the equipment/ that would give life/ to the thing/ that lay at my feet. It was already one/ in the morning/ and the rain/ fell against the window. My candle was almost burnt out when, by its tiny light,I saw the yellow eye of the creature open. It breathed hard, and moved its arms and legs. How can I describe my emotions/ when I saw this happen? How can I describe the monster who I had worked/ so hard/ to create? I had tried to make him beautiful. Beautiful! He was the ugliest thing/ I had ever seen! You could see the veins/ beneath his yellow skin. His hair was black/ and his teeth were white. But these things contrasted horribly with his yellow eyes, his wrinkled yellow skin and black lips. I had worked/ for nearly two years/ with one aim only, to give life to a lifeless body. For this/ I had not slept, I had destroyed my health. I had wanted it more than anything/ in the world. But now/ I had finished, the beauty of the dream vanished, and horror and disgust/ filled my heart. Now/ my only thoughts were, "I wish I had not created this creature, I wish I was on the other side of the world, I wish I could disappear!” When he turned to look at me, I felt unable to stay in the same room as him. I rushed out, and /for a long time/ I walked up and down my bedroom. At last/ I threw myself on the bed/ in my clothes, trying to find a few moments of sleep. But although I slept, I had terrible dreams. I dreamt I saw my fiancée/ walking in the streets of our town. She looked well/ and happy/ but as I kissed her lips,they became pale, as if she were dead. Her face changed and I thought/ I held the body of my dead mother/ in my arms. I woke, shaking with fear. At that same moment,I saw the creature/ that I had created. He was standing/by my bed/ and watching me. His

(完整版)Unit7TheMonster课文翻译综合教程四

Unit 7 The Monster Deems Taylor 1He was an undersized little man, with a head too big for his body ― a sickly little man. His nerves were bad. He had skin trouble. It was agony for him to wear anything next to his skin coarser than silk. And he had delusions of grandeur. 2He was a monster of conceit. Never for one minute did he look at the world or at people, except in relation to himself. He believed himself to be one of the greatest dramatists in the world, one of the greatest thinkers, and one of the greatest composers. To hear him talk, he was Shakespeare, and Beethoven, and Plato, rolled into one. He was one of the most exhausting conversationalists that ever lived. Sometimes he was brilliant; sometimes he was maddeningly tiresome. But whether he was being brilliant or dull, he had one sole topic of conversation: himself. What he thought and what he did. 3He had a mania for being in the right. The slightest hint of disagreement, from anyone, on the most trivial point, was enough to set him off on a harangue that might last for hours, in which he proved himself right in so many ways, and with such exhausting volubility, that in the end his hearer, stunned and deafened, would agree with him, for the sake of peace. 4It never occurred to him that he and his doing were not of the most intense and fascinating interest to anyone with whom he came in contact. He had theories about almost any subject under the sun, including vegetarianism, the drama, politics, and music; and in support of these theories he wrote pamphlets, letters, books ... thousands upon thousands of words, hundreds and hundreds of pages. He not only wrote these things, and published them ― usually at somebody else’s expense ― but he would sit and read them aloud, for hours, to his friends, and his family. 5He had the emotional stability of a six-year-old child. When he felt out of sorts, he would rave and stamp, or sink into suicidal gloom and talk darkly of going to the East to end his days as a Buddhist monk. Ten minutes later, when something pleased him he would rush out of doors and run around the garden, or jump up and down off the sofa, or stand on his head. He could be grief-stricken over the death of a pet dog, and could be callous and heartless to a degree that would have made a Roman emperor shudder. 6He was almost innocent of any sense of responsibility. He was convinced that

四年级下册语文课文知识点

四年级下册语文知识点复习整理 一、作者作品等文学常识。 1、《记金华的双龙洞》是著名作家叶圣陶先生写的,上个学期我们还学过他的作品《爬山虎的脚》。 2、《万年牢》作者是新凤霞;《小英雄雨来》的作者是管桦;《生命生命》的作者是杏林子;《花儿的勇气》是著名作家冯骥才写的。 3、海伦·凯勒是一位盲人作家,她的作品是《假如给我三天光明》。 4、这个学期我们认识了很多古希腊神话中的神,有众神之王宙斯,太阳神阿波罗,海神波塞冬,智慧女神雅典娜等,关于他们的传说很多,如:金羊毛的故事,特洛亚战争的故事。 5、我国古代也有许多神话故事,如:女娲补天、精卫填海、夸父追日。 6、《渔夫的故事》选自古代阿拉伯著名的民间故事《一千零一夜》,这本书又叫《天方夜谭》,被誉为世界民间文学创作中的“最壮丽的一座纪念碑”。著名的《阿里巴巴和四十大盗》、《阿拉丁和神灯的故事》、《三个苹果的故事》都出自这本书。 二、课文理解及原文填空。 1、《桂林山水》一文是按总分总的顺序写的。 “桂林山水甲天下”的“甲”是居第一位的意思。 大海——波澜壮阔西湖——水平如镜泰山——峰峦雄伟香山——红叶似火 作者用运用了对比的写法突出了桂林山水的特点。 这样的山围绕着这样的水,这样的水倒映着这样的山,再加上空中云雾迷蒙,山间绿树红花,江上竹筏小舟,让你像是走进了连绵不断的画卷,真是“舟行碧波上,人在画中游”。 这样的山指奇、秀、险的山,这样的水指静、清、绿的水。 2、《记金华的双龙洞》是按游览的顺序写的。 随着山势,溪流时而宽,时而窄,时而缓,时而急,溪声也时时变换调子。 3、《中彩那天》告诉我们:一个人只要活得诚实,有信用,就等于有了一大笔财富。 4、做人要做万年牢就是告诉我们要做个可靠的人,实实在在的人,无论做什么事,都要讲究认真,讲究实在。 5、《尊严》一课使我明白:做人要做一个有尊严的人。 6、如果我们在生活中能将心比心,就会对老人生出一份尊重,对孩子增加一份关爱,就会使人与人之间多一些宽容和理解。

One of the key benefits of acupuncture is that it has few, if any, side-effects and that when used with standard drug treatment it allows physicians to cut back on medication. Tapescripts: 1. The world's leading transplant surgeon, Dr Christopher Bernard, has carried out one of the most difficult brain tissue transplants yet attempted. The South African surgeon has succeeded in transplanting tissues into the human brain in what is thought to be the first operation of its kind. The surgery was performed a week ago on a patient suffering from Parkinson's disease. A portion of the patient's adrenal gland was implanted into a part of the patient's brain, an operation which has previously been performed only on rats and monkeys. 2. Approximately a-third of all people develop cancer at one point in their lives. Chemotherapy has its limitations, but it is one of the major treatment options. Some American scientists have discovered they can increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy by inhibiting a natural defense mechanism employed by cancer cells. 3.Glaucoma is responsible for blindness in an estimated 67 million people around the world. Until now, treatments have focused exclusively on the eyes. But that may change in the next few years, following the discovery that glaucoma involves the death of brain cells. 4. New research shows that the simple act of writing down thoughts about a stressful event can help people with chronic illnesses improve their health. This is the first study to show that writing can result in clinically meaningful outcomes for chronically-ill patients. The study adds to the growing amount of scientific literature suggesting that meeting patients' psychological needs produces physical health benefits. 5. Traditional Chinese medicine says that good health is associated with the balance of qi. Qi can be hindered or helped by yang and yin. According to traditional theory, the goal of acupuncture is to promote the flow of qi by keeping yin and yang in balance- and this is done by inserting needles at various points along primary channels and meridians that crisscross the body. One of the key benefits of acupuncture is that it has few, if any, side-effects; and that when used with standard drug treatment --in anesthesia, for example it allows physicians to cut back on medication, delivering the same level of benefit with fewer negative effects.
