回复: 读报学英文(May 05,2007)(May,06,2007,读报笔记参考文章,这个有改动了,早上的新闻已经滚动没了 )Police reveal suspect as hunt for three-year-old Madeleine widensDetectives searching for Madeleine McCann, the three-year-old British girl abducted while on a family holiday in Portugal, have identified a suspect. Using information from 30 potential witnesses, the police said they have put together a sketch of the person they believe snatched the girl from her bed. Offering her parents a glimmer of hope, officers also said they believed Madeleine was still alive yesterday and being held within three miles of the Mark Warner Luz Ocean resort on the Algarve. 'It's more than hope. It's a distinct feeling of elation,' said Madeleine's aunt, Philomena McCann, about how the family reacted to the news. The last few days had been like a 'rollercoaster', she added. Last night Madeleine's father Gerry McCann, in a breaking voice, thanked everyone in Portugal and the UK for their support during what was 'an extremely difficult time for the family. 'The police family liaison officers from Leicestershire are working closely with police and keeping us informed. We have no further information regarding the investigation,' he said. They both appreciated the 'significant efforts' being made to find their daughter. The statement came exactly 48 hours after Madeleine was found missing. Mr McCann held his wife Kate tightly and gave her a kiss as they went back to their apartment. Earlier, the couple, both doctors from Leicestershire, spoke of their 'anguish and despair' since their daughter disappeared on Thursday. They had left her and their twin two year olds, Amelie and Sean, at their apartment in the Praia da Luz resort while they ate at a restaurant 100 metres away. A colleague of Madeleine mother was last night reported to have offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to the toddler's recovery. Guilhermino Encarnacao, director of the judicial police in the Faro region, faced reporters yesterday in the first official briefing about the case. He said officers were working on the assumption that Madeleine was being held between three and five kilometres from the resort. In response to criticism that the police were slow to act, Encarnacao said officers had reached the apartment 10 minutes after being called and launched an investigation within 30 minutes. Earlier yesterday some family members were highly critical of the police. 'My brother is at his wits' end,' said Philomena McCann. 'They've just played it down from the minute he approached them.' Police, dogs and dozens of holidaymakers joined the search on the first night. Among them were Paul and Susan Moyes, who have been visiting the resort for six years and own property there. 'It would normally be very safe,' said Paul. Some witnesses have suggested that a couple were seen carrying a child near the road that runs by the apartment.

With urban development twisting([FONT=宋体]畸形发展[/FONT]) out of the grasp of planners and regulators, Mr Ma argues that a green Tiananmen could indicate changing priorities. Why Tiananmen Square could go from red to greenRenowned architect proposes turning Beijing centrepiece into a forest For the past 50 years Tiananmen Square has been the nearest thing the Chinese Communist party has had to holy ground. It is the plaza that Mao built, famed for its rallies during the Cultural Revolution, and it became notorious after the bloody crackdown on student protesters in 1989. But in a sign of widening intellectual debate in China, one of the country's leading young architects has proposed a radical transformation of the square. Ma Yansong, an award-winning urban planner, says the grey concrete symbol of China's red politics should be given a green makeover. To heighten awareness about the environment, he believes the Beijing square should be transformed into a park and forest. In his model, the vast expanse of paving slabs outside the Forbidden City are replaced by trees and grass. There are lush thickets around the mausoleum containing Mao Zedong's embalmed body and a verdant entrance to the Great Hall of the People. "We want to transform this empty political square into something that can be enjoyed," Mr Ma said. "Our aim is to propose not to criticise, to raise the issue of public space. The way we do our architecture is to show that we can come up with our own solutions. We don't just take orders. That is why we want to show this project to the public first." Mr Ma, who completed an apprenticeship in London under the prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid, is one of the boldest and least orthodox within China's architectural community. His firm, MAD, has offices in Beijing and Dubai, is working on five big projects in China, and is behind a curvaceous 50-storey tower arising in Ontario, Canada. The architect believes Tiananmen Square need not be considered sacrosanct, because its origins are relatively recent and foreign. The plaza was created after Mao Zedong's Communists came to power in 1949. Copying Red Square in Moscow, it was designed for military parades and giant public rallies. But this function is, he says, outdated. "Tiananmen is ... the physical centre but not the real centre. No Beijing people go there," he said. "The question we posed ourselves was how to make the area more enjoyable if we no longer need it for tanks?" However, his plan for Tiananmen is too controversial for the authorities. The mainland media have already been told not to publish images of his green model. "Tiananmen Square is a sensitive topic because many things happened there," Mr Ma said. "The idea of turning the plaza into a forest makes many people feel uncomfortable." Zhang Lixin, a director at the Beijing urban planning bureau, said: "This isn't just an architectural design problem. We also use this space for national events. In the long term, I think Tiananmen Square will keep its original function. We can do some work nearby to make more green spaces." It is not green but grey that dominates a model of Beijing at the Urban Planning Exhibition Centre in the city. Radiating outwards from a pillow-sized Forbidden City, to the area of a tennis court, the scale model illustrates the dramatic changes occurring in the urban landscape as the city gears up to host the 2008 Olympics. Beijing is becoming a showroom for the world's leading architects. Rem Koolhaas, from the Netherlands, is behind the spectacular tilting towers of the Central China TV HQ in the commercial district. Paul Andreu, from France, helped lay the giant egg-shaped national theatre, while the UK architect Norman Foster designed the dragon-inspired airport terminal, which will be the world's largest when it opens next year. Yet despite the new national stadium - known as the bird's nest - and the giant egg theatre, the pastoral theme does not extend much beyond the shapes and names of all the new steel and concrete designs. The city's suburbs are eating up farmland as sprawl continues. A green belt was planned in the late 1990s, but it was consumed by development. Now there are only a few small splashes of park and farmland left. With urban development twisting out of the grasp of planners and regulators, Mr Ma argues that a green Tiananmen could indicate changing priorities. "I read that Beijing has 2.8% of green space, including the lakes. It was much better in the past. It is very bad now."

Figures from Visit London show that tourists from India spent £139m last year - up from £107m a year earlier and £78m in 2003. About 212,000 Indians visited London last year, up from 130,000 in 2003. At the same time Japanese tourists - for so long regarded as part of the scenery at the capital's tourist attractions - are in decline. Some 230,000 Japanese nationals visited London last year, spending a total of £123m, compared with the 434,000 who came to London in 2000. Record numbers of overseas tourists visited London last year: more than 15 million, representing a 9.4% increase on 2005. They spent £7.5bn. The US remains the single most important country for London tourism, which is important to the health of businesses in the capital ranging from hotels to transport and retail. Americans account for 16% of all overseas visitors to London. There were 2.4 million US tourist visits last year worth £1.5bn. The numbers have yet to return to pre-9/11 levels. In 2000 more than 2.9 million Americans visited London, spending more than £1.7bn. Visit London expects a slowdown this year. "Lower US growth combined with the strength of sterling is likely to dampen overall visitor growth in 2007," it warns. It is estimating growth in spending by tourists of 4% this year, down from more than 9% last year. Visitor numbers from France, Germany, Spain and Italy have also climbed since 2000. Together, they accounted for more than 30% of overseas visitors last year. The number of tourists from Poland has shown the biggest growth, climbing from 80,000 visits seven years ago to 500,000 in 2006. Visit London's international passenger survey also shows that last August's airport security alerts had little impact. The foot and mouth outbreak in 2001, the 9/11 atrocity, the Sars scare and the Iraq war all hit tourist numbers.
