小心宽边太阳镜

  The fashionable sunglasses that put women drivers at risk

  Twelve million fashion-conscious women drivers of Britain are risking their lives by wearing sunglasses which limit their view of the road.

  The vast majority of Britain's 14.4million female motorists admit to putting style before safety, research shows.

  But road safety experts say they should jettison the chunky wide-armed variety of sunglasses worn by Kylie Minogue, Paris Hilton and Victoria Beckham - as well as those with pink or very dark lenses.

  The Eyecare Trust charity also advised women to make safety their first priority with sunglasses for driving.

  More than eight out of ten women (82 per cent) surveyed failed to consider safety when choosing sunglasses for driving - equivalent to 11.8million female motorists.

  One in ten - 1.3million - drive in wide-armed glasses that severely restrict their peripheral vision. A further 7 per cent wear lenses that are so dark they are illegal for driving.

  The researchers commissioned by insurer Sheilas' Wheels also found that fewer than one in five (18 per cent) of women bought sunglasses specifically for driving while almost two-thirds (61 per cent) based their choice on appearance rather than practicality.

  Niki Bolton, of car insurers Sheilas' Wheels, said: "Too many women drivers are unaware of the dangers of wearing some of this summer's hottest sunglasses' styles when driving.

  "Wide arms and dark lens tints may be the must-haves of the moment, but fashion- conscious women should put safety ahead of style when in control of a car."
小心宽边太阳镜!

  (Daily Mail) 英国共有1200万个赶时髦的女司机戴太阳镜开车,而戴太阳镜开车会影响她们观察路况,容易出危险。

  调查显示,在英国1440万名女司机中,大多数人承认自己将时尚置于安全之上。

  但路面安全专家们则称,女司机们不应该选择如凯莉?米洛、帕里斯?希尔顿和维多利亚?贝克汉姆戴的那种宽边太阳镜,以及粉色或深色镜片的太阳镜。

  关注眼镜护理的慈善组织Eyecare Trust还建议女性戴太阳镜驾驶时要把安全放在第一位。

  超过80%(82%)、共1180万名受访女司机选择驾驶用太阳镜时没有考虑到安全因素。

  十分之一、共130万名受访者戴宽边太阳镜驾驶,这种眼镜会严重影响她们的周围视觉。7%的人驾驶时戴的太阳镜镜片颜色太深,属于违规驾驶。

  该项由Sheilas' Wheels保险公司委托开展的调查发现,不到五分之一的女性专门选购了驾驶用太阳镜,而近三分之二的人选择太阳镜的标准是其外观,而不是实用性。

  Sheilas' Wheels汽车保险公司的尼基?波尔顿说:“太多的女司机没有意识到戴夏季最流行款太阳镜开车有危险。”

  “宽边和深色也许是当下最流行的元素,但赶时髦的女性在开车时应将安全置于时尚至上。”

凯拉·奈特丽全裸拍广告


  胸小也性感 凯拉·奈特丽全裸拍广告

  在好莱坞,无突兀的曲线美似乎是件大罪过。不过,“英伦新玫瑰”凯拉·奈特丽还是凭借“逆潮流”之美成为广告业的新宠儿。

  这次,这位自嘲胸小的加勒比美女似乎要“豁”出去了。在新的香奈儿广告中,她没有像以往那样“扬长避短”,而是一改曾经的清纯形象全裸上镜。 

  Keira Knightly in the new Coco Mademoiselle adverts click for more photos

  As she would be the first to admit, Keira Knightley is not exactly famous for

  her hour-glass figure.

  But her latest role - which sees her posing virtually naked to advertise a perfume - makes her look subtly different.

  Despite the presence of a carefully-placed bowler hat, the 22-year-old actress appears to be just that tiny bit curvier.

  It's certainly a different image from that presented in such hit films as Pride And Prejudice and the Pirates Of The Caribbean series.

  Ever since she appeared in a sports bra as a 17-year-old in Bend It Like Beckham, the waiflike actress has done nothing to disguise her lack of cleavage.

  That's not always something the Hollywood publicity machine has been happy about.

  While the British posters for her 2004 film King Arthur displayed her natural boyish look, the American ones were a different story.

  "Those things certainly weren't mine," she told a U.S. magazine.

  The actress has said in the past that she is happy to strip off for a role. Talking about nudity in films, she said: "I have certain tools. One of them is my body."

  Even so, she once requested a body double for a scene in which she had to show her bottom, and this new advert, for Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle, keeps her derriere firmly out of sight.

  Miss Knightley is thought to have signed a one-year contract worth more than £500,000 to be the face of the scent.

  Vocabulary:

  bowler hat:圆顶礼貌

  cleavage:乳沟

  body double:替身

世界上最大的图书馆-----The World's Largest Library


  You might think the largest library in the world would be in Europe.But it isn't.It's in Washington, D.C.It's called the Library of Congress(国会图书馆).

  如果你认为世界上最大的图书馆在欧洲,那你就错了。实际上,世界上最大的图书馆在美国哥伦比亚特区华盛顿,称为国会国书馆。


  President John Adams started the library in 1800 for members of Congress.He wanted them to be able to read books about law.The first 740 books were bought in England.They were simply set up in the room where Congress met.Then Thomas Jefferson sold Congress many of his own books.He felt Congress should have books on all subjects, not just on law.This idea changed the library for good.

  这座图书馆是约翰·亚当斯总统在1800年为国会议员们建立的。他想让议员们阅读到有关法律方面的书籍。首批740本藏书是从英国购进的,这些书被随便放在国会开会的地方。后来汤姆·杰斐逊把自己许多藏书卖给了国会,他认为国会应有各类书籍,不应该仅收藏一点法学书籍,这种观点给国会藏书带来永久性的变化。


  The library grew and grew.Now it covers acres of land.It contains 20 million books as well as scores of picture, movies, globes and machines.Experts(专家) in every field work there.Hundreds of people call every day with all kinds of questions.Many of them get answers right over the phone.

  国会图书馆越变越大,现在它已占地数英亩。收藏了2千多万册书。除此之外,还收藏了好多图片、影片、地球仪和机器。每一个学科的专家在这儿都有一席之地。每天有好几百人打电话查询各种各样的问题。他们中有许多从电话中得到了满意的答案。


  The library is a huge storehouse.Thomas Edison's first movie and Houdini's magic books reside(居住) there.And it is the proud owner of the world's best collection of comic(喜剧的) books.

  这座图书馆是一个巨大的收藏室。托马斯爱迪生发明的第一部电影和霍迪尼的魔术书都收藏在这里。值得骄傲的是:它还是世界上最大的喜剧书籍拥有者。
