The United States has made an urgent plea for an unprecedented global effort to fight the Ebola outbreak that's originated in West Africa. The Secretary of State John Kerry said the disease was a global crisis demanding a global response. Ali Mcbull reports from Washington.President Obama is now trying to reassure a nervous American public that fighting Ebola is, in his words, not just a public health issue, but a national security priority.But the death in Texas of 42-year-old Thomas Eric Duncan has for many raised questions about just how effectively health officials here can isolate the virus. A new screening regime including taking the temperature of visitors has been announced at five American airports that together receive over 90% of those arriving from the Ebola-affected countries of Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia where Mr. Duncan arrived from in mid September. 美国迫切请求全球作出前所未有的努力，应对源于西非的埃博拉疫情。国务卿约翰·克里表示，该疾病是全球危机，需要全球作出回应。Ali Mcbull在华盛顿报道。奥巴马总统试图安抚紧张的美国公众，用他的话说，应对埃博拉病毒不只是公共健康问题，而且是全国安全要务。但是得克萨斯州42岁的邓肯(Thomas Eric Duncan)的死亡导致许多人质疑卫生官员能否有效隔离该病毒。美国五个机场宣布了新的扫描制度，包括测量旅客的体温。这五个机场接收了来自几内亚，塞拉利昂和利比亚这三个埃博拉感染国家超过90%的旅客。9月中旬，邓肯就是从这里回到美国的。

从1999年，大象监听工程的研究员已经使用音频监听系统来记录非洲热带雨林里大象的声音。他们已经知道大象的声音是次声的-次声的频率很低不能被人耳所听见-用于远距离通信。次声比更高的噪声传播的远。大象们相隔好几公里，用次声来互相联系。公象通过用这种低频率的声音来寻找多产的母象。非洲大象的数量正在增长由于渐渐渗入的人类文明。但是，正当我们人类成为大象的服务员时，又很难准确的知道有多少大象还存活着。在非洲密集森林里的大象是难以计算的。能够亲眼看见是很稀罕的。大象监听工程能用大象发出来的声音来判断象群的大小和健康状况。至少，这种研究能用于找到大象活动的热点地区。不仅仅是大象的声音得到监控。那个录音器也录了人的声音-枪声，锯东西的声音和车辆噪声-这些有助于发现对森林里大象的数量的潜在威胁。这就是我们今天所展示的。我们希望你访问我们的网站earthsky.org让我们知道你怎么想的。我们是 Block and Byrd ，为了每一寸土地每一片天空

New Year in the UK usually starts with a celebration on New Year’s Eve (31stDecember). 英国的新年从12月31日举行的庆祝开始。Some people spend the evening at home with their family, or have a party for friends at their house.一些人在那天晚上和家人呆在一起，一些人在与朋友在家里开PARTY。Others go to a pub to celebrate, or spend the evening in a large public space,for example Trafalgar Square in London.另一些人会到一个酒吧去庆祝，或是在一个大的公共场所度过那个晚上。例如去伦敦的Trafalgar广场。The beginning of the New Year is signified by the chiming of Big Ben, the famous London clock, at midnight, which is also shown on TV for those who are staying in.新年的开始是以伦敦著名的钟-大本钟的午夜12点的敲响来表示，为了那些呆在家的人们，这一场景会现场直播。In Scotland, New Year is called Hogmanay, and for some people, it’s a bigger celebration than Christmas. In big cities like Edinburgh and Glasgow there are street parties with around 100,000 people, enjoying music, entertainmentand fireworks at midnight.在苏格兰， 新年被称为Hogmanay, 对一些人来说，庆祝新年比圣诞节还要隆重。 在Edinburgh和Glasgow这样的大城市，大约会有10万左右的人涌向街头庆祝，享受音乐，观看娱乐表演，和午夜时候放的烟火。One Scottish tradition which is now popular throughout the UK as well as in the USA, is the singing of a traditional folk song. ‘Auld lang syne’, reminds us to think of old friends and remember the good times of the past, as we look tothe future.苏格兰有一个传统就是唱一首名Auld lang syne的传统民谣，它让我们在展望未来的时候想起了过去的美好时光，如今它正风靡英国和美国。Although New Year’s Eve involves drinking alcohol for many people, New Year’s Day signals the start of a healthier life, as some people make New Year’s resolutions.Often these are connected with fitness and health, for example giving up smoking or drinking, taking more exercise or losing weight. 虽然新年除夕对许多人来说还包括去喝酒， 但由于一些人会许‘新年愿望’，许的愿望经常和健康有关，例如戒烟，戒酒，多运动，或是减肥。所以新年第一天却标志这一个更加健康的开始。Other people make a resolution to improve their life in other ways, such as spending more time with family, learning something new, or getting out of debt.另一些人决定从另外的途径改善他们的生活，例如多陪陪家人，学习新知识，或还清债务。Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to stick to your resolutions, especially if they are related to saving money. The January sales can provide shopaholicswith far too much temptation.可是，要坚持自己的做出的决定通常不那么容易，尤其如果是和储蓄有关的决定。 一月份的购物对一些购物狂来说简直具有太大的诱惑了。Almost every shop is full of special offers and bargains,which can make it hard to just go window shopping.几乎每家商店都有特价，打折活动，这使得要做到光看不买的去逛商店变的太难了。
