The United Nations officially came into being on October 24, 1945. To inform people about the UN, an entire week was set aside in October as United Nations Week. It lasts from October 20 to October 26, with October 24 as
United Nations Day. And from then on the day is celebrated by all the member countries of the United Nations.
In many parts of the world, special programs are planned at schools for this day. Students in some communities decorate a UN free, or conduct a model session of the General Assembly or the Security Council. In other communities, schools celebrate with the songs and dances of other countries or give parties where foods of other lands are served.
In the United States, United Nations Day is observed in all its states. Public meetings are held in City Halls.
Speakers talk about the achievements of the organization. Some shop
windows display products and clothes of other lands. During the week there are forums and panel discussions. There may also be a banquet with foreign dishes.
An important part of the week?s celebration is the setting up of information centers, where literature on the work of the United Nations may be obtained. Visitors to the centers can learn about the work of various agencies of the UN such as UNICEF (UN International Children?s Emergency Fund), UNESCO (UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) and WHO (World Health Organization). These agencies help backward areas around the world. They not only give direct assistance, but train teams of natives to teach their own people.
The United Nations encourage people to learn about other lands and their customs. In this way people can gain a better understanding of peoples all over the world.

The fourth-generation iPod is on the market. It looks a bit different, operates more efficiently, has a few more features and costs less. Here are the highlights.
First, the click wheel. The iPod keeps getting smaller. This one is about a
millimeter thinner and has no control buttons that sit under the display screen.
Instead, it uses a click wheel,” where the controls are placed on the round touchpad. This is an innovation carried over from the iPod Mini. It was
developed out of necessity for the Mini, because there wasn?t enough room for the buttons.
Second, more efficient menus. There?s less to do to get to your favorite stuff. “Music” is a first-level entry, and all you need is a single click.
You can create multiple playlists and delete songs you don?t want to be stored in it anymore. And audio books are not only easier to find, you can listen to them at normal speed, slower or 25 percent faster.
Third, longer play. The new iPods are rated for 12 hours of play between charges — a 50 percent increase in battery life. This is achieved not by a heavier battery but diligent conservation of power.
Finally, lower price. The top-of-the-line iPod, holding 10,000 songs (40 gigs), now costs $399. The lower-capacity model, with room for 5,000 songs (20 gigs), costs $299. That?s $100 less for each.
第四代iPod是市场上。它看起来有点不同，更有效地工作，有一些更多的功能和成本低。这里是集锦。
首先，点击轮。的iPod越来越小。这是关于一个毫米薄，没有控制按钮，坐在所述显示屏。相反，它使用一个棘轮，其中控件放置在圆形触摸板。这是一个创新进行了从iPod mini。它被开发出来的迷你的必要性，因为没有足够的空间用于按钮。
第二，更高效的菜单。没有什么可以做你最喜欢的东西。“音乐”是第一级的输入，和所有你需要的是一个单一的点击。
您可以创建多个播放列表的歌曲和删除你不想被存储在它了。音频书籍不仅更容易找到，你可以以正常的速度听他们的，慢或快百分之25。 第三，再打。新的iPod额定为12小时的费用-电池寿命增加百分之50之间的活动。这是实现不受重电池但电力勤奋的保护。
最后，较低的价格。线的iPod上，持有10000的歌曲（40场），价格为399美元。较低的能力模型，5000室的歌曲
（20场），售价299美元。那是100美元以下的每个。
On July 29, 2005 Dr Mike Brown of the California Institute of Technology
announced the discovery of a new planet in the solar system. The planet, which hasn?t been officially named yet, was found by Brown and his Colleagues in California. It is currently about 97 times farther from the sun than Earth. This places the new planet more or less in a dark realm beyond Neptune where thousands of small icy bodies orbit the sun. The planet appears to be typical of such objects — only much bigger. Its sheer size in relation to the nine known planets means that it can only be classified as a planet itself, Brown says.
The planet was also discovered by two other astronomers, Chad Trujillo of Hawaii, and David Rabinowitz of Yale University. They first photographed the new planet
on October 31, 2003. The object was so far away, however, that its motion was not detected until they reanalyzed the data in January of this year. In the last seven months, the scientists have been studying the planet to better estimate its size and its motions.
This new planet is the largest object found in orbit around the sun since the discovery of Neptune and its moon Triton in 1846. It is larger than Pluto, which was discovered in 1930.
The planet?s temporary name is 2003 UB313. A permanent name has been
proposed by the discoverers to the International Astronomical Union, and they are waiting for the decision of this body before announcing the name.
2005年7月29日，麦克博士布朗的加州理工大学宣布在太阳系中发现了一颗新的行星。地球上，没有被正式命名，是由在加利福尼亚的布朗和他的同事们发现。这是目前约97倍，比地球离太阳的距离。这地方的新行星的更多或更少的一个黑暗的王国，在海王星之外的小的冰体的轨道上。地球似乎是典型的这样的对象，只是更大。在关系到九个已知的行星，其庞大的规模意味着它只能被归类为行星本身，布朗说。
行星也是由两个天文学家发现，Chad Trujillo的夏威夷，和耶鲁大学的戴维拉比诺维茨。他们第一次拍摄新的行星在2003年10月31日。对象是到目前为止消失，然而，直到他们重新分析数据在今年一月未检测到其运动。在过去的七个月里，科学家已经研究行星较好的估计它的大小和它的运动。
这颗新发现的行星是围绕太阳的轨道在海王星的发现自1846和海卫一发现的最大的物体。它比冥王星更大，这是发现于1930。
这颗行星的临时名称为2003 UB313。一个永久的名字已经被发现了国际天文学联合会，他们在等待这一机构的决定之前宣布的名字。
On May 28 in 585 BC the Medes, who were from what is now northern Iran, were in baffle with the Lydians who lived in what is now Turkey. To the horror of both sides, the sun disappeared. The war had been going on for five years, but the Medes and Lydians were so frightened at this ill omen that they made peace. Today, astronomers are able to explain such disappearances of the sun. On its trip around the Earth, if the moon passes directly between the sun and the Earth, then it prevents rays of the sun from reaching the Earth and causes a temporary darkening. This is what is known as a solar eclipse. A solar eclipse can last as long as seven and a half minutes. During the 20th century 228 solar eclipses, mostly partial ones, have taken place.
In 1991, there was a total eclipse of the sun. Because the moon passed directly in the line of sight between the sun and the Earth, its shadows spread a path of darkness across the land. This path extended from Hawaii to South America in what astronomers called “the Eclipse of the Century.11
Instead of being frightened by the eclipse as had ancient peoples, people flocked to Hawaii and Mexico to view the awesome sight. Scientists viewed the eclipse
