A special task force designed
18、spikes for Liu, a privilege reserved for megastars like Tiger Woods, Roger Federer and Lance Armstrong.,Company Logo,Liu was expected to be good in Athens, but no one expected him to be good enough to equal the then 13-year-old world record of 12.91 sec and win a gold medal. “Compared with other eli
19、te hurdlists in the world, Liu likes a harder outsole because he hits the ground very hard, and a hard outsole gives him good rebound feeling,“ Lu said.,Company Logo,This idea was improved upon while designing new apparel, and it soon proved to be a success. At the 2006 Super Grand Prix in Lausanne,

He wouldnt change it even when Nike tried to persuade him to try a new outsole employing more advanced tec

State your reasons.,A High-Tech Hunt for Lost Art,Maurizio Seracini,The Battle of Anghiari,安吉亚里战役，是达芬奇为纪念一次关系着佛罗伦萨共和国成立的战役而作的。画有五十九英尺长，十六英尺高，绘制年代在1505年与1506年之间，此画与蒙娜丽莎齐名。,安 吉 里 之 战,美第奇家族,美第奇家族是佛罗伦萨13世纪至17世纪时期在欧洲拥有强大势力的名门望族。没有美第奇家族，意大利文艺复兴肯定不是今天我们所看到的面貌。 意大利文艺复兴的许多作品是美
31、第奇家族的收藏，有不少画像和雕刻，就是为这个家族的成员而作，甚至意大利文艺复兴作品的主要展览处，佛罗伦萨乌菲兹美术馆，也是这个家族的遗产。,Translation practice,在研究由16世纪另一位艺术家留下的有关达芬奇失踪油画的线索后，塞拉西尼博士（Dr. Seracini）带领一支国际性科学家队，采用激光，雷达，紫外光，红外摄像机，对墙面和周边房间展开了地毯式搜索。一旦确定油画可能藏身之地，他们会利用专门设备，对墙壁发射中子束，找出油画。 Dr. Seracini伫立在Palazzo Vecchio市政会议厅内。它气势恢宏，可容纳500余人，是文艺复兴时期的政治中心。当年，达芬奇和米
32、开朗基罗受命为它绘制一幅佛罗伦萨军事胜利的壁画。 他们在寻找 “安吉里之战“， 达芬奇最大的一幅的油画（门幅约为“最后的晚餐”三倍）。虽然由于1506年达芬奇的停笔，这幅画并未最终完成，但他在画面中心所描绘的金戈铁马的战争场景，一直是人体结构和动态素描的范本，备受后人推崇。,4. 同时，它还为米开朗基罗仅参与了壁画初期的草图设计、未参加后期的绘制提供了一种可能的合理解释：达芬奇分配到的工作墙面，采光比较好，米开朗基罗对此有点恼火。 5. “我们非常愿意给Dr. Seracini颁发许可证。”星期四时，市长这样表示。“唯一需要考虑仍然是时机问题谁来做？做什么？我想一两周之后，他能拿到许可。 6.
33、 如果预测准确，那么瓦萨里（Vasari）真为达芬奇做了件好事隐藏并保护油画，宝藏上插了一面神秘的小旗，以待后人探索。,Passage 3,Warm-up: What do you plan to stay young when you get old? physically young psychologically young medical treatment,Forever Young,Questions Whats the significance of Dr. Bakers discovery? How can the Hayflick limit be used to treat
34、 and prevent cancer? What is progeria? How effective is Bakers drug-intervention? Can we engineer people in the way Backer did to his mice? Why and why not?,Translation,Baker至少在小白鼠实验上发现衰老期的体细胞不仅让自身苦不堪言，对其他周围健康状况较好的细胞也会有负面影响。更重要的是，他还证明如果有选择性破坏这样的衰老期细胞，那么这些负面影响就会消失殆尽。 另外他对此种小白鼠基因所做的微调，也是一种杀死产生P16INK4A
35、 分子细胞的方式。这种微调是通过插入的方式实现的：找到带有P16INK4A 基因的附近的DNA， 然后插入第二种基因，由于与前一种基因的相似性，第二种基因会被同样的基因开关所控制。,撇开生化细节不谈，Baker研究结果中最吸引人的一点是它提供一种思考如何延缓衰老的新方法，并且这种新方法与自然套路相辅相成（共同发挥作用），而不是与其背道而驰。 伴随着衰老出现的体内组织的损耗和衰弱将会成为过去，那么年长则会真正变为成熟而非衰老！,News Patterns,Summary lead (5 WHs and 1 H) Events in Descending Order of importance,T
36、he Inverted Pyramid Structure,The inverted pyramid structure simply means placing the most fundamental information in the lead paragraph of the story, and then arranging the remaining details, from most important to least important, While some media writers are critical of the inverted pyramid struc
37、ture, it remains one of the most widely used and time tested structures in mass media writing.,Essential information generally refers to the oft-cited “Five Ws” of journalism: Who, What, When, Where, and Why. A successful lead paragraph communicates, on a basic level, the essential facts of who did
38、what, when, where, and why. The following graphs contain additional details, quotes from sources, statistics, background, or other information. These are added to the article in order of importance, so that the least important items are at the bottom.,origin,The inverted pyramid structure is the pro
39、duct of an old media technologythe telegraph. When news outlets would telegraph information over the wires, it made sense to use the inverted pyramid because the most vital information in the story was transmitted first. The inverted pyramid structure also benefits editors. If an editor needs to cut
40、 an article, they can simply cut from the bottom.,example,Nanjing air crash kills at least 100 NANJINGA Yak-42 airliner carrying 116 passengers and 10 crew members crashed on takeoff from the Nanjing Airport in East China yesterday at 15:06 (Beijing Time). So far, 100 people on board are dead and 26

The plane, operated by China General-Purpose Airline Company in Xian, was used on the route from Nanjing City in

They were then set upon by the mob and kicked and punched until rescued by other officers. Six peoplefour men and two womenall aged between 19 and 27, later appeared in court charged with assault, destruction and public offences. They were released on stringent bail conditions, including curfews and bans on using public houses and clubs.,Thank You !,
