部分職業不待見性感女性 |
| Good looks can kill a woman's chances of snaring jobs considered "masculine," according to a study by the University of Colorado, Reuters reported. Attractive women faced discrimination when they applied for jobs where appearance was not seen as important. These positions included job titles like manager of research and development, director of finance, mechanical engineer and construction supervisor. They were also overlooked for categories like director of security, hardware salesperson, prison guard and tow-truck driver. "In these professions being attractive was highly detrimental to women," researcher Stefanie Johnson said. |
據路透社報道，科羅拉多大學一項研究顯示，好的相貌可能會扼殺女性步入“陽剛型”職業的機率。性感女性應聘不注重相貌的職位時會受到歧視，這些職位包括研發主管、財務主管、機械工程師與工程建設監理等。另外，安全主管、硬件營銷人員、獄警與拖車司機等職位也不怎么待見性感女性。研究人員斯蒂芬妮·約翰遜說：“在這些行業，性感對女性往往極度不利。” |

| Moscow death rate doubles |
“煙城”莫斯科1天700人亡 |
| Oppressive heat and waves of toxic smog in Moscow have seen the death rate reach 700 a day, a senior Russian health official said today. The Guardian reported that an acrid cocktail of smoke and pollutants had forced many Muscovites to flee their homes or workplaces in search of air-conditioned malls, cinemas and cafes. Scientists say levels of carbon monoxide peaked at six times the acceptable norm late last week and other toxic particles have clogged the city's air. The federal environmental-monitoring agency has asked factories in Moscow to temporarily cut emissions by up to 40%. Wildfires in Russia have claimed 52 lives and left more than 3,000 people homeless, and more than 550 fires covering 17,000 hectares were still burning across Russia. |
英國《衛報》報道，俄羅斯衛生部高級官員今天表示，駭人的熱浪與有毒煙霧已經使莫斯科每天的死亡人數達到了700人。許多莫斯科市民忍受不了刺鼻的濃煙和污染物，紛紛從家里和工作間跑出來，轉而奔到開著空調的商場﹑電影院﹑咖啡館等地。科學家稱，上周晚些時候空氣中的一氧化碳含量已經高達安全值的六倍，其它有毒物質則使空氣更加污濁。俄羅斯聯邦環境監測局已經下令，要求莫斯科市內的工廠將氣體排放量臨時削減40%。俄羅斯森林大火已經使52人喪命，3千多人無家可歸，1.7萬公頃的土地上目前仍有550多處火情。 |
| Captain Ed, first to walk Amazon |
英國人走完亞馬遜全程 |
| After 4,000 miles, an estimated 50,000 mosquito bites, hundreds of wasp stings and encounters with anacondas and scorpions, Briton Ed Stafford, yesterday completed his record-breaking trek along the path of the Amazon, the Guardian reported. He became the first man known to have walked the entire length of the world's longest river. The 34-year-old former British army captain set out from the south coast of Peru on April 2, 2008. The two-and-a-half year journey, which has cost around ￡63,000, has been funded by sponsorships from companies and the public. Stafford hoped his feat would raise awareness of the destruction of the rain forest, but said he is "no eco-warrior." |
據《衛報》報道，在走完4千英里，經歷了約5萬次蚊蟲叮咬，多次遭黃蜂蜇刺，與水蟒、蝎子多次不期而遇后，英國人艾德·斯塔福德于昨日創造了紀錄，沿亞馬遜河徒步走完了全程。他成為有史以來第一位沿著世界上最長河流徒步走完全程的人。他現年34歲，曾是英國陸軍上尉，于2008年4月2日從秘魯的南海岸出發。這次長達2年半的旅行花費了約6.3萬英鎊，由某些公司和民眾資助。斯塔福德希望他的壯舉可以提高人們對破壞雨林行為的關注，但表示他“并非生態斗士”。 |
