| Israeli-Palestinian talks begin |
巴以谈判启动 |
| Under the shadow of fresh violence in the Mideast, U.S. President Barack Obama convened the first direct Israeli-Palestinian talks in two years on Wednesday, AP reported. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu begin face-to-face talks on Thursday at the State Department. The declared aim of the talks is to create a sovereign Palestinian state alongside a secure Israel. Netanyahu said Israel wants a lasting peace, not an interlude between wars. Abbas urged Israel to freeze settlement construction in areas the Palestinians want as part of their new state, and to end the blockade of Gaza. The settlements issue is the central obstacle to achieving a permanent peace. |

| A brisk walk can prevent cancer |
快走降低患癌风险 |
| More than 10,000 cases of cancer could be prevented each year in Britain if people took more exercise, such as going for brisk walks or performing vigorous household chores, the Daily Telegraph reported. Scientists at the World Cancer Research Fund believe that just 45 minutes of moderate exercise a day could prevent 5,500 cases of breast cancer in Britain annually. Similarly, at least 4,600 cases of bowel cancer could be prevented if people exercised for 30 minutes daily. That would cut down cases of both types of cancer by 12 percent. |
据英国《每日电讯报》报道，专家表示，如果人们每天快走一会或做些强度较大的家务活等锻炼，那么英国每年就可以减少癌症1万例。世界癌症研究基金会科学家表示，人们每天中等强度锻炼45分钟，仅仅英国每年就可以减少乳腺癌5500例。同理，人们每天锻炼30分钟就可以使英国每年肠癌至少减少4600例。综合而言，每天锻炼30—45分钟，可以使乳腺癌和肠癌的危险降低12%。 |
