【Kaleidoscope】 >NASA's new 'toy' spacesuit NASA推'玩具总动员'制服 NASA's next generation of spacesuit bears more than a passing resemblance to the suit worn by Buzz Lightyear in Pixar's beloved Toy Story films, foreign media reported. The new Z-1 spacesuit, the agency's first in 20 years, is white with fluorescent (荧光) green stripes, and features a large, hemispherical transparent dome helmet - just like Lightyear's. Astronauts will be able to climb into it as quickly as you see in films, opposed to the one hour it usually takes. (see photo) 据外媒报道，美国宇航局新一代航天服Z-1酷似皮克斯经典动画《玩具总动员》中巴斯光年的服装造型。Z-1是宇航局20年来的第一款新航天服，采用白色与荧光绿条纹的颜色搭配，大且透明的头盔呈半球形，跟巴斯光年的十分相像。此外，宇航员可以迅速钻进Z-1航天服，不像现在一样要花一个小时，这也跟电影中一样。(见图)

【Cover Story】 >Reasons behind Chinese Xmas '中国式圣诞'理由大罗列 More Chinese youngsters are embracing Christmas like their peers in the West but for different reasons, Xinhua reported. For some of them, Christmas is more like an excuse to have a break - releasing pressures and having fun. They are also turning Christmas day into a shopping festival or a day for dating. Lots of girls are expecting gifts from their boyfriend on this day. But there is another group of youth celebrating Christmas. They are seeking to join the Christian faith and choose to be baptized in the Christmas season. 据新华社报道，如今，越来越多的中国年轻人爱过圣诞节，但与西方同龄人不同，他们过圣诞的理由却不尽相同。对某些人来说，圣诞节更像是为释放压力和寻开心找个由头休个假。此外，圣诞节也演变成年轻人的购物节和"情人节"，当天，很多女孩都期待男友送礼物。还有另外一些年轻人，他们选择在圣诞节皈依基督，并接受洗礼。

【China Daily Radio】 有些人每天睡9个小时，白天上班还是在犯困；有人只睡4、5个小时，却能全天精力充沛，效率超高。到底为什么会这样呢？研究人员说，是基因的问题。 Researchers recently discovered a gene that regulates the duration of sleep an individual needs. The new findings may explain why some people appear to have an internal alarm clock, and can wake up on their own. It may also explain why some people are light sleepers, able to operate on only a few hours of sleep. 研究人员最近发现了一种能够管理人们所需睡眠时间长短的基因。这一新发现或许能解释，为什么有些人好像体内有个闹钟，总能自己定点醒来；而有的人每天只睡几个小时却依然精力充沛。

The research was conducted by members of the Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich. The gene the team identified is called ABCC9 and has been nicknamed the "Thatcher gene" in honor of former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher, famous for needing as little as 4 hours of sleep a night. 该研究是由慕尼黑大学的研究人员进行的。他们发现的这个基因叫做ABCC9，后被人以英国前首相撒切尔夫人的名字命名，戏称为"撒切尔基因"，因为撒切尔夫人以睡眠时间少而著称，每天的睡眠时间只有4个小时。

Government leaders should "travel light with few attendants" when making inspections with no red carpets, flowers or plants displayed to welcome them, said the rules. 据《南方都市报》报道，由于近期政府会议不再摆花，广州盆花销量暴跌。当地花商表示，最近宴会用盆花的销售额与往年同期相比，下跌了八九成。近日，中央政治局审议通过改进工作作风的"八项规定"，其中规定领导干部下基层需"轻车简从"，不铺设迎宾地毯，不摆放花草。 >Young women love older men 调查称七成姑娘爱大叔 About 70% of women between 18 and 25 love older men, according to a report on the Chinese view of love and marriage in 2012 released by Jiayuan.com and the National Population and Family Planning Commission of China, Changsha Evening News reported.

【Kaleidoscope】 >The hot-tempered live longer 研究称暴躁之人更长寿 Researchers at University of Jena in Germany assessed more than 6,000 patients and found that being fiery and expressing negative emotions is the key to long-lasting good health, foreign media reported. In contrast, those who internalized their anxiety can have serious repercussions (影响) for physical and mental well-being. According to the researchers, repressors suffered from a raised pulse, which over time leads to high blood pressure and an increased chance of developing a wide range of illnesses, from coronary heart disease (冠心病) to cancer. The result means that hot-tempered Italians and Spanish live nearly 2 years longer than the "stiff-upper lip" English. 据外媒报道，德国耶拿大学研究人员通过对6000多名病人进行评估发现，暴脾气和表达负面情绪是保证长久健康的关键因素。相反，隐藏焦虑会严重影响身心健康。研究人员称，那些抑制情绪的人脉搏跳动更快，长此以往会导致高血压，患冠心病、癌症等其他疾病的风险也会大增。这一发现意味着，脾气暴躁的意大利人和西班牙人能比自我克制型的英国人多活近两年。

【China Daily Radio】 靠女人赚钱曾被视为对男性自尊的打击，但随着"阿尔法老婆"越来越多，社会成见已经慢慢改变。在经济不景气的形势下，家有"阿尔法老婆"也是一件让人庆幸的事情。 "Alpha-wives" emerge when more than 50% of all households in the USA have a woman as its prime "breadwinner". Sociologist Catherine Bartlett says the alpha-wife has begun to replace the so-called trophy wife. 如今，美国超过半数家庭中，女人才是主要的经济支柱，这样的女人就是"阿尔法老婆"。社会学家卡瑟琳·巴特莱特说，阿尔法老婆已开始取代所谓的花瓶老婆。 "The trophy wife was wanted for her youth, beauty, and body. She earned nothing on her own and truthfully wasn't someone who was sought after for her brains. The alpha-wife is desired for her intelligence and her power as a top money earner. She's independent and savvy. Her looks, though certainly visible, are secondary." 巴特莱特说："男人想从花瓶老婆那里得到的是青春、美貌和身体。她自己不挣钱，说实话男人也不是因为她有脑子才追求她的。男人想得到阿尔法老婆则是因为她聪慧，而且很能挣钱。她既独立又精明。虽然阿尔法老婆长相也不差，但相貌并不是男人选择她的首要原因。

【Cover Story】 >Big cities delay exam reform 北上广异地高考案'难产' Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou authorities have kept silent about whether they will allow migrant children to sit the national college entrance exam in the city, rather than in their household registration area, chinanews.com reported. The State Council ordered a decision on the issue by the end of 2012, and the deadline is only 3 days away. It seems the children of migrants studying in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou who are praying for taking the 2013 exam with their peers in the cities will be disappointed. Up to now, 9 provinces (municipalities, autonomous regions) have issued rules to lift the exam ban by 2013 or 2014. 据中新网报道，国务院要求各地于2012年年底前出台异地高考方案，而2012年只剩3个工作日，北京、上海、广州都尚未出台相关方案，非户籍随迁子女想在当地参加2013年高考的梦想基本破灭。目前全国已有9省区公布方案，确定将于2013年或2014年正式实施异地高考方案。

【Newsmaker】 >Kate Winslet married again Rose再婚Jack陪走红毯 Actress Kate Winslet has married again, in a secret ceremony in New York that was so hush-hush that the bride and groom's parents didn't even know about it, UK media reported. It was the Oscar-winner's 3rd marriage and the groom, Rocknroll, 34, is the nephew of British billionaire Richard Branson, the founder of Virgin Group (see photo). The low key nature of the nuptials was offset by the presence of Leonardo DiCaprio, who gave his 37-year-old Titanic co-star away. 据英媒报道，37岁的奥斯卡影后凯特·温斯莱特日前在纽约秘密再婚，这是凯特的第3次婚姻，新郎罗克努尔现年34岁，是英国亿万富豪、维珍集团创始人理查德·布兰森的侄子(见图)。婚礼如此低调，甚至没有知会双方父母，但婚礼上这样一幕足以弥补平淡——将新娘交给新郎的是和凯特共同出演《泰坦尼克号》的男星莱昂纳多。

>Tea workers burn alive boss 印数百茶农烧死茶园主 Hundreds of tea plantation workers have burnt alive the owner of a tea garden and his wife in the northeastern Indian state of Assam, an Indian senior police official said Thursday. Preliminary probe revealed that the incident was sparked by the owner's orders on 10 estate workers to vacate their quarters and the detention of 3 employees by police over unspecified disputes, AFP reported. There are around 800 tea gardens in Assam, which produce over half of India's total tea output. 据法新社报道，印度警方高级官员27日称，印度东北部阿萨姆邦的一处茶园日前发生惨案，数百名工人烧死了茶园主和他的妻子。初步调查显示，该案因一起劳资纠纷引起——园主令十名茶农腾自己的住处，后又有3名茶农因不明纠纷被拘留。据悉，阿萨姆邦有大约800处茶园，茶叶出口份额占该国的一半。 >Google app 'racially offensive' 谷歌'变成亚洲人'遭指责 The "Make Me Asian" Google app has been branded racially offensive for allowing users to alter their profile photos "like an Asian", the Daily Mail of London reported.

梦，是一个迷人的字眼，筑梦者，是一群充满了希望和力量的人。梦，被选为2012年中国的年度汉字。这一年，飞天梦、奥运梦、航母梦、诺奖梦，一一兑现。在中国圆梦的这一年，那些筑梦的人又有着怎样的故事？ 【Notice】 明日晚报，"慢读"继续推出年度盘点系列策划，敬请关注。 盘点第三弹:大人物·大挑战今年6月，中国发射神舟九号飞船，首次与天宫一号实现载人对接。有着温暖笑容的刘洋，用女性特有的坚韧和细腻，与男航天员们一起完成了中国航天史上的创举。 [笑容] 一个笑容已经足够。当刘洋和另外两名神九航天员从返回舱中出来时，全国人民都为这笑容而欢欣鼓舞。神九成就了一系列创举，而刘洋的"升空"无疑最引人瞩目。作为中国首位女航天员，她承载了几代航天人的梦想。 The smiles said it all. When Liu Yang emerged from the return capsule with her 2 Shenzhou-9 crewmates, her grin was shared across the whole Chinese nation. The Shenzhou-9 mission posted a series of firsts. Liu Yang's presence in orbit obviously made headlines. As China's first female astronaut, she realized the dream of several generations of Chinese space men. [信心] 出征太空前，刘洋信心十足，她说，女性和男性各有优势，只要把两者结合起来，一定可以更好地完成飞行任务。事实上，女性耐受力更强，心理素质更加稳定，有更好的抵抗寂寞的能力。神九实现了我国首次载人空间手控交会对接，而33岁的刘洋主要负责医学空间实验。 "I have full confidence," Liu Yang said before the mission. "Men and women have their own advantages and capabilities. They can complement each other to better complete the mission." It is believed that female astronauts have better durability, psychological stability and ability to deal with loneliness. The 33-year-old was in charge of medical experiments during the mission, which also featured China's first attempt at a manual space docking procedure. [撑起半边天] 迄今为止，世界上已有7个国家逾50名女航天员进行过太空飞行。正如中国老话说的，女性能顶半边天，没有女性参与的载人航天是不完整的。我国女航天员参加航天飞行任务，不仅带动了女航天员相关飞行产品的研制和女航天员训练、选拔等方面的技术发展，还展示了中国女性的良好形象。现在，中国已决定于2013年6月上旬发射神舟十号飞船。神十或与神九一样，也安排两名男航天员和一名女航天员。 More than 50 female astronauts from 7 countries have served in space missions. Echoing a famous Chinese proverb, women hold up half the sky, and human space missions without women would be incomplete. Participation of Chinese female astronauts in space not only helps accelerate research and development of female astronaut-related products, training and selection, but also showcases Chinese women's positive image. Now China plans to launch another manned spacecraft, Shenzhou-10, in early June 2013. Like in the Shenzhou-9 mission, the crew might include 2 men and a woman.圆梦是一个艰辛的过程，它带来的不光是荣耀，还有磨砺。在伦敦奥运会上，当叶诗文鼓起勇气面对质疑，并用奇迹证明自己时，她获得的是梦想洗礼后的成长。 [质疑] 中国小将叶诗文发现自己正面对来自全世界的质疑。在伦敦奥运会上，她打破了两项奥运纪录和一项世界纪录，在400米混合泳的自由泳阶段，她甚至游出了比男子冠军罗切特更快的速度。在没有任何证据的情况下，她被暗指使用了兴奋剂。十六岁的小姑娘，已品尝到了成功的滋味，是甜中带苦。 Ye Shiwen found herself the target of global scrutiny at the London Olympics, when she set 2 Olympic records and a world record in medley swims with a freestyle split in the 400m race that was faster than men's champion Ryan Lochte. She was accused of using drugs, with no evidence. At the age of 16, Ye Shiwen already tasted the bittersweetness of success. [清白] 叶诗文所遭受的质疑反映的是许多西方人对中国根深蒂固的偏见。在上世纪90年代，有32名中国游泳运动员被检出使用兴奋剂，使得中国在这项运动中名誉扫地。但这一次叶诗文顶住了压力，用自己的成绩洗刷了西方的偏见。英国奥林匹克协会证实，"她通过了世界反兴奋剂机构(WADA)的检查，她是清白的。叶诗文的才华值得我们认可。" The suspicions Ye faced reflected a deep-rooted global bias after China's reputation in the sport crumbled in the 1990s, when 32 of its swimmers tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs. But Ye Shiwen stood up to the pressure and broke the Western prejudice with her good performance. The British Olympic Association came to her defense: "She's been through WADA's program and she's clean. Ye Shiwen deserves recognition for her talent." [扬眉吐气] 这个夏天，载负近20年"旧伤"的中国游泳队终于扬眉吐气。中国军团在伦敦奥运会期间一共接受了272例兴奋剂检测，全部顺利过关，没有出现任何兴奋剂违规事件。叶诗文说，我的成绩来自于艰苦的训练。中国运动员们也一样，他们用奥运会场上的又一次胜利来证明自己，拼下了38金27银23铜，在金牌榜和奖牌榜稳居第2位。 This summer witnessed the rise of China's swimming team, who had borne trauma for nearly 20 years. The truth is team China went through 272 doping tests in the London Olympics and no single case of cheating was found. Ye Shiwen said: "My results come from hard work and training." So do the Chinese athletes, who proved themselves by creating another Olympic success, grabbing 38 gold, 27 silver and 23 bronze medals for the 2nd place in both the medal and gold tally. 11月24日，中国首艘航母"辽宁舰"成功起降歼-15舰载机，举国上下欢腾振奋，罗阳，这位领导研制歼-15舰载机的核心人物，却在大功告成后溘然长逝。关于航母事业，他还有许多未竟的梦，而歼-15是他最后一个圆满的梦。 [忘我] 罗阳人生最后的8天都在"辽宁舰"上度过。这8天中，他每天都坚持在现场记录飞机的情况，歼-15飞机起飞时的轰鸣声震耳欲聋，而他观看的地点离飞机的最近距离甚至不超过20米。歼-15总设计师孙聪回忆说：“首飞成功后，我们俩坐在一个舷梯口边上聊到深夜，一起探讨歼-15飞机下一步的具体发展计划……他从来不想自己的事，想的都是工作上的事情。" In the last 8 days of Luo Yang's life, he dedicated himself to the Liaoning carrier, observing tests for jet landings on China's first aircraft carrier every day. The roar of J-15 when it takes off could split one’s ear, yet Luo insisted on observing the test at a distance of less than 20 meters from the jet. "After the flight landing tests, we sat on the carrier's stairs and talked until nighttime about the development plan of the J-15," said Sun Cong, chief designer of the J-15. "He seldom thought about himself. His mind was occupied by work." [无憾] "试验成功了，所有任务都完成了。"那天，罗阳通过电话告诉了妻子王希利这一消息。而这却是这对夫妻间最后一次通话。短短几个小时后，罗阳心脏病突发，离开了这个世界。后来，王希利在殡仪馆对丈夫说："我知道，这些天来，你太累了。"他的战友说，因为舰载机试验成功，去世时他表情安详。罗阳的心愿还远远没有完成，但走的一瞬间他没有遗憾。 "The test is successful! I've done my task!" Luo Yang called his wife Wang Xili to share the exciting news. The couple didn't know it would become their last conversation. Several hours later, Luo suffered a fatal heart attack. "I know how exhausted you have been these days," Wang whispered to her deceased husband at the funeral home. One colleague said, "He rested in peace. Although he had a lot more dreams to realize, there was no regret on his face, probably because of our big success." [梦在继续] 今年9月"辽宁舰"入列时，海外媒体预计中国舰载机成功应用至少需要1年半，没想到"罗阳们"只用了2个月就实现目标。这些年，中国航空事业的成就令世界刮目相看，这幕后的功臣是无数像罗阳一样的航空人。因为有梦，他们奋斗不止。 Some foreign media predicted that China would take at least 18 months to realize the success of the carrier-borne jet after the Liaoning began service in September. However, Luo Yang and his fellow engineers made the dream come true in only 2 months. In the past few years, the feats achieved in China's aviation industry have raised eyebrows, and the numerous heroes like Luo Yang are the ones to thank. Inspired by the same dream, they will continue to do wonders. 诺贝尔文学奖，中国人为之魂牵梦绕多少年，当它真正降临的那一刻，所有人都如堕梦中。莫言，那个成就美梦的人，却异常清醒。 [讲故事的人] "我是一个讲故事的人。因为讲故事我获得了诺贝尔文学奖。"莫言如是说。12月7日，他在瑞典学院发表文学演讲。无论荣耀如何炫目，他执着于心的是母亲的善良和无法抹去的乡愁。他在演讲中说，"我感到，我的母亲是大地的一部分，我站在大地上的诉说，就是对母亲的诉说。""今后的岁月里，我将继续讲我的故事。"这是莫言的承诺。 "I am a storyteller. Telling stories earned me the Nobel Prize for Literature," Mo Yan said during his Nobel lecture on Dec 7 at the Swedish Academy. The dazzling glory only makes him cling faster to his love for his kind-hearted mother and homeland in the countryside. "I feel that my mother is part of the land on which I am now standing. I am speaking on this land, and I feel I am talking to my mother," Mo said. "I will continue telling my stories in days to come." [心如巨石] "我心如巨石，风吹不动。"莫言如是说。有人说诺贝尔文学奖是"死亡之吻"，作家得奖后难再出好作品。莫言说："一旦获奖，作家就陷入繁琐的事物中去。我会尽量避免这种结局。"载誉归来，他回到了故乡高密，到母亲的坟前祭拜。莫言的大哥管谟贤说："其实莫言就是个普通的人，普通的作家。获了奖以后，还是那个写小说换饭吃的人。" "My heart is like a giant rock that no wind can shake an inch," Mo said. The Nobel literature prize is a "kiss of death" for some writers, as many fail to continue producing excellent works after winning the prize. "After the Nobel win, a writer can easily slip into a life that is occupied by trivial matters," Mo said. He hopes to avoid such a fate. After winning the prize, Mo returned to his hometown in Gaomi and visited his mother's grave. "He is an ordinary person and an ordinary writer. Even after winning the prize, he remains a man who simply makes a living through writing," his brother Guan Moxian said. [诺奖之于中国文学] 莫言的成功使得中国当代文坛开始重新挖掘、思索和考量他们对于这位作家的理解。国内的学者赞其帮助提高了中国当代文学在世界的地位。莫言获奖以来，其作品骤然热销。也许这股热潮终有一天会冷却，但更多的人也会因此而开始阅读并享受阅读，这无疑是"莫言热"带来的正能量。 Mo Yan's success has prompted Chinese contemporary literary circles to rediscover, rethink and reconsider its understanding of the Nobel laureate. And he was hailed by scholars in China with comments that his success largely improves the global status of contemporary Chinese literature. The zeal for Mo Yan, shown by the fast selling of his books, since he was awarded the prize, may cool down one day, but it will certainly serve as a "positive energy" to prompt more people to read books and enjoy reading.

The victim of the gang rape died early Saturday in a hospital in Singapore. Bracing for a new wave of protests, Indian authorities deployed thousands of policemen, closed 10 metro stations and banned vehicles from some main roads in downtown New Delhi. The gang rape case already saw a wave of large protests last week, ending in clashes between police and protesters. 据新华社报道，29日凌晨，印度轮奸案受害者——一名23岁医科大学女生在新加坡医院医治无效死亡。消息传出后，当天数百名印度大学学生和教师走向街头进行抗议。为防止此轮新的示威活动升级，印度警方调派数千警力，并封锁了10个地铁站和新德里市中心部分主要道路。上周，该轮奸案已引发了一轮大规模示威活动，并因此导致警察和示威者之间的冲突事件。 【Top News】 >Air quality data to be issued 74城明年发布PM2.5数据 The Chinese government will issue real-time air quality monitoring data in 74 cities starting Jan 1, 2013, the Ministry of Environmental Protection said, People's Daily Overseas Edition reported.

The data will also cover PM2.5 and PM10. 据《人民日报海外版》报道，环保部近日称，自明年1月1日起，政府将实时发布74个城市的空气质量监测数据。据悉，发布的空气质量信息包括二氧化硫、二氧化氮、臭氧、一氧化碳和细颗粒物等主要空气污染物每小时的监测数据及PM2.5和PM10的数据。 >Harsh rule on taxi trade 京'的哥'拒载可停岗3年 Beijing authorities issued the harshest-ever punitive measures against cabbies defying professional ethics, Beijing News reported. Taxi drivers will be suspended for 1-3 years if they refuse to take passengers or try to negotiate the fare. Taxi companies are banned from lowering employment standards and hiring drivers on the industry "blacklist", even if cabbies are in short supply. 据《新京报》报道，北京对出租车违规行为推出"史上最严"处罚措施，的哥若有拒载、议价等行为，将停岗1-3年。出租汽车企业不得因的哥供应减少而随意降低招录标准，不得录用列入行业"黑名单"者。 >17 dead in US winter storm 冬季风暴肆虐美中东部 Heavy snow and strong winds have battered the US northeast as a mighty winter storm carved a violent arc across several states, killing at least 17 people and snarling holiday travel, AP reported. More than 3,000 flights have been canceled since Christmas Day, as the storm wreaked havoc from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes before heading northeast. 据美联社报道，强冬季风暴近日席卷美国多州，使该国东北部地区遭大雪和强风肆虐。目前，恶劣天气已造成至少17人死亡，并给民众的假日出行造成不便。由于风暴自墨西哥湾经五大湖向东北部一路袭来，圣诞节以来，已有3000多架航班被取消。 【In Brief】 >Logistics companies transported goods worth RMB163.4 trillion in the first 11 months, an increase of 9.7% year-on-year, according to the National Development and Reform Commission. 国家发改委发布通报称，今年1-11月，社会物流总额为163.4万亿元，同比增长9.7%。 >Japan's idled nuclear reactors will gradually be restarted under the newly elected Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, the Nikkei reported. 据《日本经济新闻》报道，安倍晋三政府上任后，日本停止运转的核反应堆将逐步重新启用。 >While a freezing winter is hitting regions across the Northern Hemisphere, the mercury in Brazil's Rio de Janeiro, located in the Southern Hemisphere, reached 43.2℃, a record high temperature since 1915. 据法新社报道，当北半球遭遇严冬时，位于南半球的巴西里约热内卢日前创下1915年以来最高气温纪录，达43.2摄氏度。 【Celebrity】 >DPRK promotes golf 金正恩'在美'宣传高球赛 Reports and videos about the DPRK Amateur Golf Open next year can be seen right now on a US professional golf website, JoongAng Daily reported. Kim Jong-un (see photo), the country's top leader, also is featured as an icon in the promotion video. The event was launched 2 years ago in Pyongyang and only 15 players from 8 countries joined it in May. 据韩国《中央日报》报道，朝鲜为筹办明年的高尔夫球业余公开赛，日前在美国一家职业高球网站上登载报道和宣传视频。朝最高领导人金正恩(见图)的形象也在宣传视频中出现。朝鲜从两年前开始在平壤举行高尔夫比赛，今年5月仅有来自8个国家的15名选手参赛。 【Language Tips】 'Acid test' ----------- 该习语源自美国加州淘金热时期。那时，人们通常用强酸来检验金属是否是金子，这种实验即acid test(酸性试验)。所以，短语acid test表示"决定性的考验"。 请看例句： The senator doesn't look too popular just now, but the acid test will be if he gets re-elected. 这位参议员目前还不是太受欢迎，但是否能获得连任将成为对他决定性的考验。 【Talk Show】 他是个冷漠的人。 >My new neighbor is a cold fish.

She's a cold fish. 她几乎不和任何人说话，是个冷漠的人。 注释：Cold fish(直译为"冰冷的鱼")表示"冷冰冰的人，不太与人来往的人"。 【Weekly Topic】 The year 2012 will soon become the past, regardless of whether it was a success or failure. With the year 2013 approaching, let's make resolutions to create a good start. Hopefully these targets will help us work toward our dreams for the New Year. 2013年的脚步越来越近。2012，无论是成功还是失败已成历史。表下新年决心吧，让我们为这些决心而奋斗。希望这些目标能帮我们在新的一年梦想成真！

The nation's liquor ban has caused a round of sales promotions among high-end liquor dealers recently. The price of high-end liquor, which used to rise before holidays, has decreased. The anemic sales during the season reflect a more rational consumer demand for liquor, said Tie Li, a liquor expert. As the plasticizer scandal undermines consumer confidence, liquor sales may be even weaker during Spring Festival. A liquor dealer in Sichuan said sales have dropped 60% since early December. 据《东方早报》30日报道，临近节庆消费旺季，高档白酒遭遇"寒流"。近日，"禁酒令"让逢节必涨的高价白酒陷入促销战，价格出现松动。白酒专家铁犁认为，旺季不旺，折射出酒市消费需求趋于理性。由于塑化剂问题影响消费信心，不排除春节期间行情遭遇更大压力。四川一位经销商表示，12月初至今，销量同比下滑了60%。 【Top News】 >China to seal minors' records 未成年犯罪记录将封存 China's amended Criminal Procedure Law will take effect on Jan 1, 2013. The amended law includes articles on sealing juvenile criminal records to ensure the smooth return and reintegration into society of youthful offenders, xinhuanet.com reported. Under the amended law, juveniles given a punishment lighter than a 5-year sentence for an offense committed when they are under 18 will have their records sealed. The sealed records shall not be open to any organization or individual, except when necessary for case investigation by judicial organs or upon inquiries raised in accordance with due regulations. The inquirers shall keep the information confidential. 据新华网报道，修改后的刑事诉讼法将于明年1月1日实施。为有利于未成年犯更好地回归社会，修改后的刑诉法设置了犯罪记录封存制度。法律规定，犯罪的时候不满18周岁，被判处5年有期徒刑以下刑罚的，应当对相关犯罪记录予以封存。犯罪记录被封存的，不得向任何单位和个人提供，但司法机关为办案需要或者有关单位根据国家规定进行查询的除外。依法进行查询的单位，应当对被封存的犯罪记录的情况予以保密。 >Regions raise minimum wage 23省今年上调最低工资 23 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions – including Beijing, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Shaanxi and Shandong – raised their minimum wage benchmarks in 2012, according to data released by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, Guangming Daily reported Sunday. Beijing and Shaanxi will adjust up their minimum wage standards again on Jan 1, 2013. The minimum monthly salaries in Beijing and Shaanxi will rise, respectively, from RMB1,260 to RMB1,400 and RMB1,000 to RMB1,150. 据《光明日报》30日报道，人社部近日公布的数据显示，2012年，已有北京、四川、江西、陕西、山东等23个省市自治区陆续上调最低工资标准。已上调过的北京和陕西将于2013年1月1日再次上调该标准。上调后，北京最低工资标准由目前的每月1260元调整为1400元，陕西由1000元/月上调至1150元/月。>French court rejects rich tax 法宪委会推翻'富人税' France's Constitutional Council Saturday rejected a 75% upper income tax rate to be introduced in 2013 in a setback to Socialist Party President Francois Hollande's push to make the rich contribute more to cutting the public deficit, Reuters reported. The council ruled that the planned 75% tax on annual income above EUR1m was unfair in the way it would be applied to different households. Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said the government would redraft the upper tax rate proposal to answer the council's concerns and resubmit it in a new budget law. 据路透社报道，法国宪法委员会29日驳回了本应于明年推行、对高收入人群征收75%税率的议案，重挫了社会党总统奥朗德推行富人多交税从而削减公共赤字的努力。该委员会裁定，由于这项议案将施用于不同家庭却不能一视同仁，因此对年收入超过100万欧元的人征收75%税率的做法并不公平。对此，该国首相让-马克·埃罗表示，政府将重新起草对高收入部分征税的议案以回应宪法委员会的疑虑，并在新的预算法中重新提交这一议案。 >Tablets popular in DPRK 朝鲜自有平板品牌热卖 A growing number of citizens from the DPRK are using self-owned tablet computers for study purposes, Kyodo News reported Saturday. Three models of tablet computers – Samjiyon, Achim and Arirang – are currently on sale in the DPRK, with prices ranging between $100 and $300. These computers are far too expensive for most people in the country, but they appear to sell at a brisk pace in Pyongyang. The iPad-lookalike tablet computer features more than 20 icons on its screen. The gadget can load software, but it cannot access the Internet. 据共同社29日报道，近日，越来越多的朝鲜民众用该国自主品牌平板作学习用途。目前朝鲜在售平板电脑共3种机型——三池渊、清晨和阿里郎，售价在100-300美元之间。虽然这些电脑价位对多数民众来说难以承受，但在平壤却似乎卖得不错。这些平板电脑样式与苹果iPad非常相似，屏幕上有20多个图标，可以安装软件，但不能上网。 【In Brief】 >Japan's Coast Guard has detained a Chinese fishing boat for alleged unauthorized fishing inside the country's exclusive economic zone, the Chinese Consulate General in Fukuoka confirmed Sunday, Xinhua reported. 据新华社报道，中国驻福冈总领事馆30日证实，一艘中国渔船因被指在日本专属经济水域内违规作业，遭日本海岸警卫队扣押。 >The Obama administration set a record for the number of people it deported in 2012. The total reached 409,849, USA Today reported. 据《今日美国》报道，2012年，美国奥巴马政府共驱逐了409849人，创新高。 【Newsmaker】 >Oldest darts player at 92 全球最年长掷镖手(图) A great-grandma has been crowned the world's oldest darts player by Guinness World Records at the age of 92, The Sun reported. Candy Miller (see photo), who has been throwing arrows for 52 years, has even hit the maximum score of 180 two times.

2012即将落幕，当各种喧嚣扰攘尘埃落定，有一些人、一些事，如寒夜里划亮的火柴，虽然渺小，却迸发出耀眼的光热，为我们的心灵带来温暖与憧憬。本期特刊让我们一同回顾2012年那些令人感动的美丽瞬间, 并带着这份温暖与美好，迎接新的一年！ 【敬业】 "大客车刹车拖印是笔直的，一个肝脏被突然刺破的司机，要用怎样的意志力才能做到这一点啊……" ——无锡交警5月29日，杭州司机吴斌开着大客车在高速公路上行驶，一块铁片突如其来地砸碎挡风玻璃，刺入其腹部。在他生命的最后76秒中，他强忍剧痛缓缓减速、停车，拉好手刹，开启双闪灯、打开车门，疏散车上24名乘客。 A flying piece of metal smashed through a bus windshield striking Wu Bin, a driver from Hangzhou, while he was driving along a highway on May 29.

【奉献】 "这是我们的本分与良心！" ——在听到致谢、面对酬金时，农民工们如是说7月21日，北京暴雨狂澜，京港澳高速南岗洼路段一片汪洋，数十辆汽车淹没水中，上百名司机和乘客被困路上。附近一家工厂的154名农民工赶到现场，拧起一根大绳，跨过6车道宽的高速公路，在空中搭起"生命救援线"，成功救出182人。他们腾出宿舍让被困人员休息，还送上了干净的衣物、食物和水。 The Nangangwa section of the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway in Beijing became flooded during a torrential downpour on July 21, stranding hundreds of drivers and submerging tens of cars in water. 154 migrant workers at a nearby plant rushed to the site and built a thick rope lifeline in the air across 6 lanes of highway, using it to successfully rescue 182 trapped people. The migrant workers also gave out their own clothes, food and water to people rescued and made room in their dorms for them to rest.

One day, though, he is uprooted as his family decides to move to Canada to escape political and religious tensions and to find better opportunities. 连同父亲拥有的动物园的所有动物们，他们搭上了一艘货轮。船在海上被风暴击沉，只有派一人幸存。他与另外4只动物——土狼、斑马、猩猩和孟加拉虎——同在一艘救生艇上。经过多天的磨难，最终只有派与名为理查德·帕克的老虎战胜伤痛和饥饿，活了下来。 They book a passage on a freighter and take along the zoo animals his father owns. At sea, a storm scuttles the ship, and Pi finds himself in a lifeboat with a hyena, a zebra, an orangutan and a Bengal tiger. Many days of hardship pass. Those who manage to survive battle injuries and hunger until just Pi and the tiger, named Richard Parker, remain. 派试图驯服老虎帕克，只求对方不要吃了自己。渐渐地，人与虎达成了某种"默契"。在强大的自然面前，他们"携手"互助求生。 Pi attempts to build a relationship with Richard Parker that won't include the animal eating him for lunch. Over time, the human and the carnivore come to an understanding. They forge a bond as they help each other survive against the forces of nature. ... 五爸开始的地方我都看过 后来放假了就没有看。。。 英语老师说真的有人订着一个月都不会看 我现在已经是忽略他的状态了啊！！！

开帖一个多月了,总结一下吧 开帖至12月底总结(共36天):英语90.5h,手绘6h,读书10.5h,专业知识11.5h,诗词6h.共124.5h. 其中回家半个月,耽误不少功夫.其他时间,英语基本完成了,专业知识完成量太少,1月要增加,每天2-3小时吧,暂定.手绘更是不堪入目.与原定计划差了不止一半,几乎没有完成,想当年在学校时,一天就画三四个小时呢.当初的努力劲呢???哪去了?读书的任务虽然每天都有完成,但是现在 看来,其实看完一本书也只要十来个小时,如果一天看一小时,一个月岂不是可以看完三本?why not ?另一月新增一项:SU.每天半小时起.其他保持原样.
