美地震致核反应堆移位
Last week's magnitude 5.8 central Virginia earthquake in the US jolted huge concrete containers holding spent nuclear fuel at a nuclear plant, shifting some containers by up to 4 inches, The Washington Post reported. The containers each weigh 115 tons and are filled with bundles of uranium dioxide fuel rods that no longer generate enough heat to produce electricity. "They are safe and remain intact," the spokesman of the plant operator said. "They are designed not to fall over and they didn't fall over."

伊囚犯联手挖地道越狱

They said there were indications the prisoners had inside help, and that officials were looking into how the detainees were able to obtain digging tools.

>Coffee hit all in the mind?
咖啡提神或为心理作用
Many of us rely on a cup of coffee to kick-start the day, but a study shows that the early morning pick-me-up could be all in the mind, The Daily Telegraph of London reported. British researchers who lied to volunteers that the decaffeinated coffee they were drinking had caffeine in it, noticed a significant improvement in performance and mood. In a series of tests designed to measure mental performance, reaction times and mood, some even did better than volunteers who had consumed coffee with caffeine. The results suggest that coffee's pick-me-up powers may be at least partly due to consumers anticipating a caffeine "hit".
据英国《每日电讯报》报道，很多人的一天都从清晨的一杯提神醒脑咖啡开始，但最新研究表明，咖啡的提神功效或许只是心理作用。英国研究人员给测试者饮用不含咖啡因的咖啡，但谎称其所喝咖啡含有咖啡因。随后对测试者的大脑功能、反应时间及情绪进行估测。结果显示，被测人员的表现有显著提高，甚至超过了真正饮用了含咖啡因咖啡的人。由此说明，咖啡的提神功效或许，至少部分，是因为饮用者对其提神功效的心理预期所导致。 【Language Tips】
'Between Scylla and Charybdis'
----------
Scylla(锡拉)是传说中生活在意大利岩石上的怪兽，Charybdis(卡津布迪斯)是住在海峡一端经常产生旋涡的另一个怪兽。水手为了躲避其中一个的危害，而常又落入另一个灾难。所以这个习语的意思就是"腹背受敌，进退两难"。
请看例句:
He was between Scylla and Charybdis, for his company had betrayed him.
他的同伴背叛了他，致使他腹背受敌。【Talk Show】
