• 双语美文:川普当选后一个美国人的心声

    作和安全的斗争,人口爆炸、自然灾害、饥荒,遭遇传染病,甚至我们的地球也处于险境。[/cn] [en]It is clear then that we do live in troubling times and that we always have lived in troubling times. The question is how are we going to LIVE in them. Are we going to feed them with our fear or lessen them with our love? Are we going to grow apart in hatred or come together in kindness? Are we going to continue to go from war to war or are we finally going to bring lasting peace to this planet? Are we going to grab for ourselves or are we going to give to others? Are we going to be selfish or are we going to save the world? The choice is ours. I think we all know, however, which choice our Heavenly Father wants us to make. May we all then make our troubling times less troubled by living our lives in love, joy, goodness, kindness, and oneness with God.[/en][cn]很明显,我们生

  • 美国观众对中国地震关注度超过总统大选

    NEW YORK -- Tens of thousands have died in the natural disasters in [w]Myanmar[/w] and China, but the coverage has been fighting for airtime with campaign 2008 on U.S. cable news channels. The Washington-based Pew Research Center for the People & the Press said Thursday that there was a fair amount interest among Americans for news about the Chinese earthquake, about as much as the ongoing presidential [w]campaign[/w]. But it accused cable news channels in the U.S. of devoting way more coverage to the political campaign than the earthquake. A Pew survey conducted last week said that 22% of Americans said they followed the Chinese earthquake more closely than any other news story over the week of May 12-18. It was slightly ahead of the percentage of Americans who closely followed the 2008 presidential campaign (22%) but nowhere near the top news story of the week, gasoline prices (31%). Yet the quake got only 13% of news [w]coverage[/w] for the week, compared with 37% for the campaign. The Myanmar cyclone, high gasoline prices and news that California's high court would allow same-sex marriage all got about the same amount of coverage, between 3% and 4% each. But Pew singles out cable news as the prime medium ignoring the earthquake, with only 4% of news coverage devoted to it while the campaign received 74% of coverage. Network TV news -- ABC, CBS and NBC -- and national newspapers split their coverage more evenly. Pew said 36% of Americans correctly identified the death toll in the aftermath of the Myanmar cyclone as being 100,000 or more, while 17% said it was about 50,000. Six in 10 Americans correctly identified the nation, also known as [w]Burma[/w], as being located in Southeast Asia. Half of Americans surveyed knew the estimated death toll in China as well. The survey of 1,000 Americans older than 18 has a margin of error of 3.5 [w]percentage[/w] points. 相关报道: 中国四川大地震已经造成了数万人遇难,而美国电视台的相关新闻报道远远不如美国总统大选。 美国相关传媒调查机构周四发布一则报告称,美国人对中国地震和总统大学的关注度几乎持平,同时也抱怨美国电视新闻关于政治的报道太多。 这份调查上周抽查了1000位美国成年人,22%的受访者说在5月12-18日中,他们对中国地震的新闻最为关注,这比最关注总统大选新闻的20%受访者稍高,但比最关注汽油价格的31%受访者低一些。但是中国地震只得到了13%的新闻报道量,而总统大选则占据了37%。 缅甸飓风灾难,汽油涨价和加州同性恋结婚法规都获得了3-4%的新闻报道量。 这份调查特别指出了电视新闻是忽视地震报道的主要媒体——关于地震的报道只占4%,而关于总统大选的报道占到74%。ABC、CBS和NBC等大电视台和全国性报纸的报道量分布比较平均。 >>>更多大选相关内容

  • 屡次上涨的美国大学学费【留学资讯】

    学者实际上可以承担很少的费用,甚至不承担费用,但由于不清楚能得到多少助学金,巨额教育支出还是让他们望而却步。[/cn] [en]Among for-profit colleges surveyed, sticker prices average about $15,170 this year, up about 3 percent, and net prices average about $4,950. But the study cautioned that estimating those figures and gauging trends over time was tricky because most for-profit institutions do not participate in the survey.Ms. Baum expressed concern that this year’s increases in what students really pay at four-year colleges could be a sign of things to come. After soaring from 2008 to 2010, financial aid from colleges, states, the federal government and private sources has been flat for two years, and budget pressures are likely to defeat any increase.[/en][cn]本次调查中,盈利性高校今年的平均费用标价约为15170美元,上
