this is the Health Report.这里是健康报道!A popular expression goes, “What does not kill us makes us stronger.” But when it comes to being bullied, that may not be the case.当下很流行的一句话是“那些打不倒我们的困难会使我们更强”。但是当我们总是受到欺负的时候，情况却不是如此了!Increasing evidence suggests that the effects of being bullied do not end with childhood. The psychological and physical damage, such as anxiety and depression, can continue into adulthood.越来越多的证据表明，受到他人的欺凌产生的影响并不会随着童年时期的结束而结束。它对人心理和生理产生的危害，比如焦虑和抑郁的情绪会持续到成年时期。A recent Duke University report shows that bullying can have permanent effects.杜克大学最近的一项研究表明受欺凌会对人产生永久的影响。The report is based on research that began in 1993. The Great Smoky Mountains study observed 1,420 children from western North Carolina for years. The scientists followed the people as they went through childhood to teen years and into young adulthood.这项报告是基于从1993年开始的研究得来的。大烟山研究观察了1420名来自北卡罗来纳州西部的儿童很多年。科学家记录他们从童年到青少年并且步入成年的。The research showed that those who were bullied can develop long-term mental health problems as young adults. It also showed that adults who were bullied as children have higher levels of C-reactive protein, or CRP. CRP is a sign of nervous tension on the body. Higher levels of CRP usually mean health problems later in life.研究表明那些在年少时受过欺负的人在步入成年早期的时候会长期遇到精神方面的问题。另外也表明他们有更高水平的高敏c反应蛋白或者简称CRP。CRP是身体神经紧张的迹象。较高的CRP通常意味着之后会产生健康问题。The Great Smoky Mountains study also found something completely new about bullying. It seems that the bullies were healthier than the bullied – at least when talking about CRP levels. The study found that those subjects who had never been bullied, but had bullied others, had the lowest levels of CRP.大烟山研究也发现一些关于受欺凌的崭新的观点。似乎看来那些欺负人的人比受欺负的人更加健康，至少在CRP水平方面是这样的。研究发现那些从来没受到欺凌，但是却欺负过别人的人CRP水平最低。William Copeland led the study. He is a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Duke University Medical Center in North Carolina. He says a higher social standing for bullies might explain their lower CRP levels.William Copeland领导这项研究。他是北卡罗来纳州杜克大学医疗中心精神病学和行为科学系的专家。他表示欺负人的人的更高的社会地位可能能解释他们的CRP低水平。Experts on bullying worry about that message. Catherine Bradshaw is deputy director of the Johns Hopkins Center for the Prevention of Youth Violence in Baltimore, Maryland. She warns that lower CRP levels might just represent a difference in the' basic biology. Ms. Bradshaw says that a health gain should not be understood as permission to bully.这项研究的专家们对研究结果表示担忧。Catherine Bradshaw是马里兰州位于巴尔的摩的约翰霍普金斯大学预防青少年暴力中心的副主任。她警告说低水平的CRP可能仅代表基础生物学的一个差异。Bradshaw女士表示健康的增益不应被理解为允许欺负。Mr. Copeland says bullying is a serious childhood experience that is no longer found only at schools and on playgrounds. Online or cyberbullying can make even a child’s home feel unsafe. Some children who are bullied have killed themselves. Sometimes bullies even kill their victims.Copeland先生表示受欺负是童年时期一个非常糟糕的经历，这不仅发生在学校和运动场。在线或者网络欺凌可以使孩子们感到甚至家里也没那么安全。一些受过欺凌的孩子选择自杀。有时甚至杀死他们的受害者。Mexico’s president is dealing with such a tragedy now. A 12-year old boy died last month a week after he was physically bullied at school.墨西哥总统日前就在处理这样的一个悲剧事件。一个12岁的男孩上个月自杀了，巧合的是一周前他在学校受到毒打。The family of Hector Alejandro Mendez Ramirez say that bullies threw the boy into a wall. He died later of head injuries. Mr. Pena Nieto has sworn to fight bullying in Mexican schools.Hector Alejandro Mendez Ramirez家人表示那些流氓把男孩扔到墙上，晚点的时候因为头部受伤死了。墨西哥学校的Pena Nieto 先生发誓要与霸凌这种行为战斗到底。And that’s the Health Report.

Hundreds of people have been killed in a massive earthquake in Japan that triggered a devastating tsunami. The quake -- the most powerful to hit Japan in more than 100 years -- caused massive damage and many people are missing and feared dead.The 8.9 magnitude quake struck Friday off Japan's eastern coast, and prompted tsunami warnings across the Pacific as far away as South America and the U.S. West Coast. The Red Cross warned that the 10-meter high tidal wave could wash over some small islands entirely.In Japan, the tsunami swept away boats, cars and hundreds of houses in coastal areas north of Tokyo.The quake shook buildings in the Japanese capital and caused several fires. All train and subway traffic in Tokyo has been stopped, and thousands of people there were unable to get back home.Authorities ordered the evacuation of about 3,000 people from the area around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant north of Tokyo. No radiation leaks were detected, but officials are concerned the reactor's core may overheat due to a system malfunction. A fire was also reported earlier in the turbine building of the Onagawa nuclear plant in Miyagi.Addressing the nation, Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said the government would do everything it can to minimize the effects of the disaster. And in Washington, President Barack Obama said the United States is ready to help the people of Japan. The U.S. military in Japan has opened up the Yokota Air Base to some commercial flights diverted from Japanese airports.日本的大规模地震造成数百人死亡。这次地震引发了毁灭性的海啸。这次日本100年来最强烈的地震造成大规模的损失，许多人失踪，甚至恐怕已经死亡。这次8.9级的地震星期五发生在日本东海岸125公里外，引发了环太平洋地区海啸警报，涉及范围远至南美地区和整个美国西海岸。红十字会警告说，10米高的巨浪可能将把一些小岛整个淹没。在日本，海啸冲走了东京以北的沿海地区的船只、汽车和数百幢房屋。地震震动了日本首都的建筑物，并引起了几起火灾。东京所有火车和地铁停止运行，数以千计的人无法回家。当局下令将东京以北的福岛核电厂周围大约3千人撤出这一地区。尽管没有探测到任何核泄漏，但官员们担心系统故障可能导致反应器的核心过热。早些时候的报导说，宫城县附近的女川核电厂发电机组发生火灾。日本首相菅直人向全国发表讲话。他说，政府将尽其所能把灾害的影响控制在最小程度。在华盛顿，美国总统奥巴马说，美国准备随时帮助日本人民。驻日美军向无法在日本机场降落的一些商业飞机开放了横田空军基地。

A new way of taking tuberculosis drugs shows promise in laboratory tests. Instead of taking a pill or getting a shot, patients would inhale their medicine to get the drug deep into the lungs.Tuberculosis is one of the world's most serious health challenges. The World Health Organization says one-third of the world's population is infected - that's two billion people. The vast majority of them never get sick, but last year alone more than nine million did, and an estimated 1.7 million died from TB.Treating tuberculosis has never been easy. Drugs must be taken for months, and too often patients stop taking the pills, which opens the way for resistant forms of the disease to develop. So the search is on for better ways to treat TB.A PhD student at the University of Colorado has been exploring using existing drugs in a new form - a very fine powder that is inhaled, instead of a pill. J'aime Manion says most tuberculosis bacteria cluster in the lungs, so delivering drugs directly to the lungs can be more effective, faster, and require lower doses."Over and over again we see that when you treat with inhalation, you see a faster clearance of the bacteria," she said. "And this is so important because the treatment times for tuberculosis are from three to six months, with tons of antibiotics, with terrible side effects." LL,我实在是困得不行了，你去普特英语上面去找吧，很丰富的。。。
