BBC News with John Jason
The Malian army backed by French
forces has repelled an attack by
Islamist militants in the northern
city of Timbuktu. French troops pushed
the militants out of the city
earlier this year, but sporatic
fighting has continued. Tomma Fessy
reports from Bamako.
What happened is that a group
of Jihadists managed to infiltrate the
town over night. A long fire
fight lasted hours overnight between
the Jihad fighters and the Malian
army. It's only when the French
intervenes on the ground and by
the air according to the residents
there that the battle was taken
to an end this afternoon. A
Malian officer I spoke to over
the phone told me that he was
able to confirm that death of
at least 8 Jihad fighters. And he
told me that one Malian soldier
was also killed in the fierce
fighting this afternoon, and four
others wounded.
Nigerian troops say they've
killed 14 suspected members of the
Islamist rebel group Boko Haram in
a raid on a building in the
northern city of Kano. A military
spokesman said a soldier was killed
in the raid and a potential
suicide bomber was arrested. From
Lagos, here's Tomi Oladipo.
Residents in some parts of Kano
said they heard explosions and gunfire
as the soldiers fought Islamist
militants on Sunday morning. A
military spokesman says security forces
found several weapons belonging to the
extremists including a car loaded with
explosives, possibly to be used for
an Easter Sunday attack. There's
been no independent confirmation of
the details of this clash. In
the past major Christian holidays in
northern Nigeria have been blacked by
bomb attacks particularly targeting churches.
Much of the violence across the
region has been blamed on the
radical Boko Haram sect.
Doctors in South Africa reporting
a further improvement in the condition
of the former president Nelson
Mandela. President Jacob Zuma thanked
that thousands of people who prayed
for the former leader at various
Easter church services over the
weekend. From Johannesburg, here's
Peter Biles.
A statement from the South
African presidency said Nelson Mandela
had had a restful day and was
continuing to receive treatment for
his lung infection. The government in
Pretoria says it's satisfied that
he's getting the best possible
medical care to enable his recovery
and comfort. And doctors have reported
a further improvement after four days
in hospital. They've not said
how serious Mr. Mandela's condition
is. But there is obvious concern.
He's 94 years old, and this is
his third stay in hospital since
last December.
A day of national mourning has
been declared on the India Ocean
island of Mauritius after 11 people
died in severe floods. Torrential rain
hit the capital Port Louis on
Saturday night. Water levels have now
receded, but many buildings have been
flooded. Residents expressed anger at
the authorities have not done more
to help them cope. They said
roads were blocked, trees had fallen,
and there's mud everywhere. Others
reported shortages of food, water and
electricity.
You're listening to the latest
world news from the BBC
The Syrian government has accused
rebels of setting fire to three
oil wells in the east of the
country, causing a loss of nearly
5,000 barrels of oil a day. Syria
state news agency says the wells
were set ablaze following a dispute
between the rebels about how to
divide the oil. The government of
president Assad has lost control of
large parts of eastern Syria where
most of the oil fields
located.
The self-claim president of the
Central African Republic Michel Djotodia
has named his caretaker government.
Rebels and the members of the
former opposition will make up most
of the cabinet. Although, there'll
be one member was linked to the
ousted president Francois Bozize.
Mr.Djotodia will take on the
role of Defense Minister, as well
as being president. The rebels seized
power in a coup last week.
Pope Francis has used his first
Easter Sunday message to call for
peace around the world. In an
address to tens of thousands of
people in St. Peter Square in
Rome, the new pontiff appealed for
a diplomatic solution on the Korean
Peninsula. He also mentioned conflicts
in the Middle East and Africa.
These people in St. Peter Square
gave their reactions to the
Pope's message.
We want to come to be, to
get the blessing from the Pope
and to feel the love and
community here today. That's all
we did. And we are hoping that
this would be a new sign for
world peace.
I listened to the Pope's
reaching. And I attended the service.
I think it reminds me of the
younger generation. I often believe
that there'll be peace. And if
older brought in the same way
we serve in God and treating
the younger generation to give them
peace and love.
An entire troop of performing
fleas has been wiped out by the

Ⅳ 求关于娱乐报道的英语短文（急！！！）
"Green Olympics" is one of the Three Themes of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Therefore the Beijing government had made a great effort in order to protect the environment, build more "Green project", keep the ecological balance, push the recycling economy, and protect the water resource. But if only the government take the action to realize the Green Olympics in 2008, its not enough. As a Beijing high school student, we should play an active role in the actions aimed at the realization of Green Olympics. So we should start it from ourselves, our family, our friends and other people around us.
In 2001, in the Moscow world trade center, when the former chairman of the International Olympic Committee, Samaranch had said: "Beijing, China!" As a Beijing citizen, as a Chinese, I had a great joy for my city, for my home country from the bottom of my heart! But after the excitement that Beijing had been succeed in the race to host the Olympic Game in 2008. I started to worry about the sty air, the sandstorm, the polluted rivers and lakes; the streets without any green and whether we could successfully host the Olympic Games in 2008.
Four years later, today, we can see 229 day blue sky in one year, we can hardly catch a glimpse of the sandstorm, groups of wild ck comes back to Shishahai Lake in the spring, and all the streets are dressed in green. All these make me deeply believe that Beijing will surely succeed in 2008! And all these achievements are not only the result that made by the Beijing government, but also by the 14 millions Beijing citizens. As one of the 14 millions normal citizens, I am also adding my contribution to our Green Olympic!
I used to have a habit, which is to take two longtime showers every day. It was a big waste of water. One day, I saw a piece of news in Beijing Daily that about the lack of the Beijing water resource. Its said every year Beijing use up about 3.7 billions cubic meter of water. But Miyun reservoir only contains 0.77 billions cubic meter of water, and Guanting reservoir only contains 0.19 billion cubic meter of water. This shows we are really short of water now! After reading this news, I start to change my habit, and only take one quick shower each day. I have calculated that if everyone economizes one cubic meter of water ring they are taking the shower in a month; the Beijing citizens will economize 14 million cubic meter of water in only one month! In 2004, as the Beijing Irrigation Apartment reported that since 2001 Beijing has succeeded in the application of hosting the Olympic game in 2008. Beijing government had started 26 programs in order to economize the water resource. After 3 years doing this, these programs have saved 0.437 billions cubic meter of water. Its as big as a four-sized Huairou reservoir! And now, in my daily life, in my family, we always think about protecting the environment and saving the resource whenever we doing what. The batteries, the aged newspapers, the empty glass bottles and all the recyclable garbage, we will classify them then put them in different trash cans; we make the most use of the nature light and shut off the electrical light conveniently; and when we shopping, we will bring a nylon bag with us instead of plastic bags; ring the feast, I do not send any card in order to protect the forest resource; after washing the clothes, we wont mp the used water but use it to flash the toilet… All in all, we should start from every little thing around us to truly realize the "Green Olympic".
I still remember clearly that in the Athens 2004 Olympic Games, when Liu Xiang stood up on the award platform, he was wearing a coronet, which made by olive branch. Does this green olive branch stand for the "Green Olympic"? Olive branch is the symbol of peace, and the Olympic Game is the carrier of the "peace". We should not just simply think, "No war is the meaning of peace". "Nature and human beings living in harmony" is also the root meaning of "peace". "Save the resource, protect the environment", this kind action of pursuing "Nature and human beings living in harmony", is the way that shows the core of the Olympian spirit. So we say, peace is the spirit of Olympic, Olympic is the carrier of peace, and "Green Olympic" means that we are standing in a higher platform to seek the peace.
So the "Green Olympic" should be started from every little things in our daily life, start form me, from the people that around me. Express the spirit of Olympic, publicize the theme of "Green Olympic", and let Beijing really reaches the "Green Olympic" in 2008. This is the responsibility of anyone who loves peace. And it is also the responsibility of our Beijing high school students!
Ⅳ 一篇关于新闻的英语短文
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- The bottom line for the U.S. strategy in Afghanistan is no deep cuts in troop levels, President Barack Obama told congressional leaders.
During a session with a bipartisan group of congressional leaders on Tuesday, the president also made it clear that the U.S. mission in Afghanistan would not be narrowed down to just hunting al-Qaida leaders, according to U.S. TV and wire reports Wednesday. Analysts said, based on Obama's remarks at the meeting, that he seemed to be searching for some sort of middle ground. The president said he wanted to "dispense with the straw man argument that this is about either doubling down or leaving Afghanistan." While leading congressional Democrats said they would support whatever Obama decided, others challenged him about sending more troops. Republicans pressed him to order an escalation without delay. Washington is currently split on the future direction of the Afghan strategy. Top military leaders and opposition Republicans are pressing Obama to act quickly to increase the present 68,000-troop level by as many as 40,000. Meanwhile, senior White House advisors are reportedly pushing back the request for sending large number of additional troops to Afghanistan. Instead, they said, the U.S. should focus on faster military training of Afghan forces, the assassinations of al-Qaida leaders and support for the government of neighboring Pakistan in its fight against the Taliban. As the casualty toll grows and public support for the Afghan war wanes, Obama is carrying out a major strategy review of his Afghanistan policy, which could either lead to more troops being sent or a cutback in the 68,000-strong U.S. force there.

As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity. Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.
Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.
学习之于心灵，就像食物之于身体一样。摄取了适量的营养食物，我们的身体得以生长而肌肉得以发达。同样地，我们应该日复一日不断地学习以保持我们敏锐的心智能力，并扩充我们的智力容量。不断的学习提供我们用不尽的燃料，来驱使我们磨利我们的推理、分析和判断的能力。持续的学习是在信息时代中跟时代并驾齐驱的最稳当的方法，也是在变动的世代中成功的可靠保证。
一旦学习停止，单调贫乏的生活就开始了。视学校为汲取知识的唯一场所是种常见的谬误。相反地，学习应该是一种无终止的历程，从生到死。由于世界一直快速地在变动，只要学习停顿数日就将使人落后。更糟的是，蛰伏在我们潜意识深处的兽性本能就会复活，削弱我们追求高贵理想的意志，弱化我们扫除成功障碍的决心，而且扼杀我们净化我们人格的欲望。缺少学习将不可避免地导致心灵的停滞，甚至更糟地，使其僵化。因此，为了保持心理年轻，我们必须将学习当作一生的事业。
2．heavy schoolwork【课业繁重】
In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy. While it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded alts. High should be allowed more time for play. Playing is not wasting time, as some think. It gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination. Which tends to be stifled by too much study. Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally. I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork. I do think, however, that a rection of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.
我认为目前高中生的课业实在太重了，虽然说学生的确应当念书，但是要想长大成为健全的人，他门还需要一些其它的东西，所以应该给高中生较多从事娱乐的时间。娱乐并不如某些人所想的，是在浪费时间，它可以让学生锻炼身体，发挥被繁重课业扼杀的想象力。此外，繁重的课业加诸在高中生身上的压力可能引起严重的情绪紧张，这对身心都有害。我并非主张废除学校课业，但是我认为减轻目前繁重的课业对于学生和整个社会都是有益的。
3．Time【时间】
Lost time is never found again. This is something which I learned very clearly last semester. I spent so much time fooling around that my grades began to suffer. I finally realized that something had to be done. It was time for a change.
Now I have a new plan for using my time wisely. I have set my alarm clock ahead half an hour. This will give me a head start on the day. I have also decided to keep a log of what I do and when I do it. Looking back on what I’ve done will give me some ideas on how to reorganize my time.
时光一去不复返，这是我上学期清楚学到的教训。我浪费很多时间四处游荡，以致于我的成绩开始退步。最后我终于了解到我必须有所作为；该是痛改前非的时候了。
现在我有一个明智运用时间的新方法。我已将闹钟早拨半小时，这将使我这一天的作息提前开始。我也决定将我所做的一切及做这些事的时间记录下来。回顾我所做的事情会启发我如何重新安排我的时间。
4．Work and Play【工作与娱乐】
Work and play do not contradict each other; in fact, they complement each other. As the saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a ll boy." A life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work. On the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions.
What I usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies. Usually I don't spare time for exercise, but I value the physical ecation class at school. Jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the day's pressure. On weekends, I'll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment. I feel revived and energetic for another week's work-load.
工作与娱乐并不互相冲突，事实上，它们之间的关系还相辅相成。有句格言说：「整日工作而没有休闲娱乐，会令人变得沉闷乏味。」被工作重担压得喘不过气来的生活，将使你一事无成，因为你将对一成不变的例行公事感到厌烦。由另一方面来说，适度的娱乐活动能提供各种管道，来渲泄你被压抑的情绪，减轻单调生活中的紧张与不悦。
放学之后，我最常做的休闲活动，便是慢跑与看电影。通常我并不特地拨出时间来做运动，但是我很重视学校的体育课。在操场上慢跑几圈，无疑地可以减轻一天的压力。在周末时，我都去看早场电影，享受视觉飨宴。如此一来，我将有如再生般的充沛活力，去面对下一星期的工作量。
5．My first Job【我的第一份工作】
My first job was at a cramming school. It was three years ago when I just graated from junior high school and finished the entrance examination. since I had nothing to do that summer, I decided to find a job, tasting the joy of independence.
I was responsible for answering the telephone and taking the message. I worked eight hours a day, six days a week. The work was not difficult nor heavy to me and I guess I did well. The most delighted thing was perhaps that I could spend the money I earned all by myself.
我的第一份工作是在一家补习班做事。那是三年前我刚从国中毕业，考完联考时的事了。既然我那整个夏天都闲着没事，倒不如找份差事，尝尝独立赚钱的快乐。
我负责接听电话且纪录留言的工作。我一天工作八小时，一星期工作六天。那份工作对我而言既不困难亦不沉重，所以我想我还满称职的。而最令人快乐的事大概莫过于花全部由自己赚来的钱了！
6．My Favorite Sports【我最喜爱的运动】
Sports help everyone to keep healthy, happy, and efficient. So I pay special attention to games, especially table-tennis. Table tennis is my favorite game. I play it almost every day.
Table-tennis is an ideal game us because it brings the whole body into action. It strengthens our muscles, expands our lungs, promotes the circulation of the blood, and causes a healthy action of the skin. Besides, it is very amusing and does not cost us much money. Table-tennis is very moderate; it is not so rough as football. It is an indoor game and can be played even on rainy days. Thus, it is my favorite kind of exercise.
运动能帮助每一个人保持健康、快乐和有效率。所以我特别重视运动，特别是桌球，桌球是我最喜欢的运动。我几乎每天玩。
桌球对我们而言，是一项理想的运动，因为它可以使我们全身运动，它可以增强我们的肌肉，扩张我们的肺部，促进血液循环，并且使肌肤产生健康作用，此外，它很有趣而且所费不多。桌球是相当温和适中的，它不像足球那么粗野。它是一种室内运动，甚至在下雨天也能玩。因此，桌球是我最喜爱的一种运动。

The skies of steel and fields with frost
Are memories of yesterday
And while scarecrow children
With eyes only for tomorrow
Comb the ancient hedgerows
For the harvest of the sun
The spirit of the spring
Like the wind that shakes the barley
Moves the sleeping earth
And with the pilgrim by her side
She murmurs in the trees
And in the ears of all who listen
"Now, time to wake
For winter has gone".
