THE ARTICLE

Hilton Hotel heiress Paris Hilton, 26, was ordered to return to jail on June 9th, just two days after an LA sheriff changed her punishment to house arrest. She had served five days of a 45-day sentence but was released and ordered to stay at home because of undisclosed “medical” reasons. Her jail term is for violating probation in a reckless driving case in which she was drunk. The topsy-turvy case is now the talk of America. Her fans are distraught at seeing their heroine returned to jail. She was ordered back to court, wearing handcuffs, to hear that her house arrest had been overturned and she would have to serve the rest of her term behind bars. This is a life far removed from the usual glitz and glamour she enjoys as a multi-millionaire. As she was lead from the courthouse, she looked anything but the perfectly turned out model and singer fans are used to seeing. She looked exhausted and was red-eyed through crying.

The media circus that is now following her toing and froing from jail has polarized the American public. Many are outraged at the fact that the sheriff put her under house arrest. They believed this to be yet another case of “celebrity justice” in the States – one very lenient law for the rich and famous, and strict laws that Jo Public must adhere to. Recent events support a quote from Hilton’s autobiography “Confessions of an Heiress”, in which she said: "There is no sin in life worse than being boring." Her prison ordeal is a different part of a privileged life that could definitely not be described as boring. She is a model, actor and singer, has her own perfume range and has walked hundreds of red carpets. She compares herself to Princess Diana and was voted as second worst celebrity role model for 2006.

THE ARTICLE

The Roman Catholic church has taken a break from moral and ethical concerns to issue its own rules of the road for drivers around the world. A 36-page document called "Guidelines for the Pastoral Care of the Road" contains the do’s and don’ts of good motoring. The Ten Commandments cover everything from road rage, avoiding rude gestures and angry language, being considerate to pedestrians, and looking after your vehicle. The Vatican warns that: "Cars tend to bring out the 'primitive' side of human beings, thereby producing rather unpleasant results". It is strange that a state such as the Vatican, which has almost no traffic problems and a 30 kph speed limit has produced this document. There are just 1,000 cars in the Vatican and the last traffic accident was in 2005.

Most of the world’s motorists will happily abide by the suggestions, although driving fanatics will be less enthusiastic, especially in motor-mad Italy. The section titled "Vanity and personal glorification" is sure to make Ferrari owners furious. The document's Fifth Commandment reads: "Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination, and an occasion of sin". The Vatican’s Cardinal Renato explained a potential evil, saying: "Cars particularly lend themselves to being used by their owners to show off, and as a means for outshining other people and arousing a feeling of envy." He also pointed out the document was intended to save lives, stating: “1.2 million people die each year on the roads…. That's a sad reality, and at the same time, a great challenge for society and the church."

  1. You shall not kill.
  2. The road shall be for you a means of communion between people and not of mortal harm.
  3. Courtesy, uprightness and prudence will help you deal with unforeseen events.
  4. Be charitable and help your neighbor in need, especially victims of accidents.
  5. Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination, and an occasion of sin.
  6. Charitably convince the young and not so young not to drive when they are not in a fitting condition to do so.
  7. Support the families of accident victims.
  8. Bring guilty motorists and their victims together, at the appropriate time, so that they can undergo the liberating experience of forgiveness.
  9. On the road, protect the more vulnerable party.
  10. Feel responsible toward others.

Ten Commandments for motorists

The Roman Catholic Church has taken a break from moral and ethical concerns to issue its own rules of the road for drivers around the world. A 36-page document called "Guidelines for the Pastoral Care of the Road" contains the do’s and don’ts of good motoring. The Ten Commandments cover everything from road rage, avoiding rude gestures and angry language, being considerate to pedestrians, and looking after your vehicle. The Vatican warns that: "Cars tend to bring out the 'primitive' side of human beings, thereby producing rather unpleasant results". It is strange that a state such as the Vatican, which has almost no traffic problems and a 30kph speed limit has produced this document. There are just 1,000 cars in the Vatican and the last traffic accident was in 2005.

Most of the world’s motorists will happily abide by the suggestions, although driving fanatics will be less enthusiastic, especially in motor-mad Italy. The section titled "Vanity and personal glorification" is sure to make Ferrari owners furious. The document's Fifth Commandment reads: "Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination, and an occasion of sin". The Vatican’s Cardinal Renato explained a potential evil, saying: "Cars particularly lend themselves to being used by their owners to show off, and as a means for outshining other people and arousing a feeling of envy." He also pointed out the document was intended to save lives, stating: “1.2 million people die each year on the roads…. That's a sad reality, and at the same time, a great challenge for society and the church."

Yet의 다섯가지 사용법


1. yet와 already

       

     A) Have you finished yet? (다 한 거야?)

                → 긍정 의문문에서의 yet은 습관적으로 붙이는 ‘now' 정도의 뜻.

                   빼고 해석해도 된다.

       

     B) Have you finished already? (벌써 다 한거야?!)

                → 예상 밖의 놀라움이라는 뉘앙스를 갖고 있음. 미묘한 차이;


 

 

 

2. (have) yet to 는 부정문으로 본다

       

   This train has yet to go. (기차는 아직 떠나지 않았어요.)

                → 형식상으로는 부정문이 아니지만, 의미상 부정문으로 본다.

       

   This time is yet to come. (아직은 때가 아니야.)

                → 꼭 have가 붙지 않아도 to 부정사 앞에 yet를 쓰면 역시 부정적인 의미로 본다.


 

3. and yet = but

        It is strange and yet true. (희한하지만 사실인걸.)


 

 

4. 문장 앞의 yet은 ‘그럼에도 불구하고’ 로

       

    His speech was almost unintelligible. Yet for some reason I enjoyed it.

        (그 사람 연설을 거의 못 알아들었어. 그런데도-그럼에도 불구하고-어쩐지 재밌었어.)


 

5. yet another

        혼자 쓰이지 않고 one, another, yet another 세트(?)로 써먹는다.

        ‘하나, 다른 하나, 또 다른 하나’ 로 해석할 수 있다.

        another을 사용하고 난 후에 또 다른 하나를 지칭할 때 씀. 세 번째 이후로 반복적으로 쓸 수 있다.

       

       I gave him so many opportunities, but he wants yet another!

                 → 난 그놈한테 엄청난 기회를 줬는데도, 그놈은 또 한번의 기회를 원하고 있다고!

THE ARTICLE

Food scientists and dieticians have found new ways to make pizza that is good for you. This is very welcome news for overweight pizza lovers and those who worry about their weight. Researchers in the USA looked at different ways of baking the pizza base. The team from Maryland University discovered that leaving pizza dough in the oven for a longer time made it healthier to eat. They said that doubling the amount of baking time increased the levels of antioxidants in the mix by up to 100 percent. Antioxidants help fight cancer and heart disease and are found in most healthy food. Furthermore, the team experimented with different cooking temperatures. Their results showed a higher heat also made the dough healthier to eat.

This new research may help pizza sales around the world. However, some diet experts warned that even though this research looks good, it is still better to eat fruit and vegetables. In addition, pizza that is baked longer may not be so healthy if people choose unhealthy toppings. Jacqui Lowdon, a British diet expert, warned that although the pizza base might be good for you, people might be “more likely to choose extra cheese”. She added: "This isn't teaching people about healthy eating." Nevertheless, the study’s author, Jeffrey Moore, said his findings were good for people who like deep-pan pizzas. Meanwhile, outside London’s Pizza Hut today, pizza fan Jo Lambert said: "This new pizza sounds healthy, although not if we have too much or have cola and fries with it.”

Scientists discover healthier pizza

Food scientists and dieticians have found new ways to make pizza that is good for you. This is very welcome news for overweight pizza lovers and those who worry about their weight. Researchers in the USA looked at different ways of baking the pizza base. The team from Maryland University discovered that leaving pizza dough in the oven for a longer time made it healthier to eat. They said that doubling the amount of baking time increased the levels of antioxidants in the mix by up to 100 percent. Antioxidants help fight cancer and heart disease and are found in most healthy food. Furthermore, the team experimented with different cooking temperatures. Their results showed a higher heat also made the dough healthier to eat.

This new research may help pizza sales around the world. However, some diet experts warned that even though this research looks good, it is still better to eat fruit and vegetables. In addition, pizza that is baked longer may not be so healthy if people choose unhealthy toppings. Jacqui Lowdon, a British diet expert, warned that although the pizza base might be good for you, people might be “more likely to choose extra cheese”. She added: "This isn't teaching people about healthy eating." Nevertheless, the study’s author, Jeffrey Moore, said his findings were good for people who like deep-pan pizzas. Meanwhile, outside London’s Pizza Hut today, pizza fan Jo Lambert said: "This new pizza sounds healthy, although not if we have too much or have cola and fries with it.”

THE ARTICLE

For the first time in history, a non-US car firm is the world’s number one carmaker. Japan’s Toyota Motor Corporation knocked the USA’s General Motors from the top spot in the first three months of the year to claim the world sales leadership position. This ends GM’s 76-year reign as the top dog in the international auto industry. Analysts expected this to happen following Toyota’s nonstop push for pole position. Industry experts predict Toyota will probably stay number one in the world for quite some time due to its efficient production methods and outstanding marketing. Excellent reliability, unbeatable prices and world class after-sales service will also help the Japanese company retain its grasp as the industry leader. The company’s Corolla car continues to be the top selling vehicle worldwide and a new model planned for launch in 2008 should keep things that way.

Unlike its American rivals, Toyota is enjoying bumper profits. Whereas the likes of Ford, Chrysler and GM are doing their best to cut costs to survive and stay in the market, their Japanese rival expects its profits to continue to grow from the $11.7 billion last year. Industry insider Jim Hossack believes Japan’s skilled and motivated workforce also greatly helps Toyota. "A job in the auto industry is still a prestige position in Japan," he said. He also puts Toyota’s success down to its unbeatable image, saying: "They have to keep their quality up, though they've had such a good reputation people forgive them when they have problems." Hossack added "People don't forgive GM when they have problems." Toyota executives were modest in recognizing their achievement. They insisted that the goal was to be number one in quality, not sales volume.

Toyota - world’s number one car seller

For the first time in history, a non-US car firm is the world’s number one carmaker. Japan’s Toyota Motor Corporation knocked the USA’s General Motors from the top spot in the first three months of the year to claim the world sales leadership position. This ends GM’s 76-year reign as the top dog in the international auto industry. Analysts expected this to happen following Toyota’s nonstop push for pole position. Industry experts predict Toyota will probably stay number one in the world for quite some time due to its efficient production methods and outstanding marketing. Excellent reliability, unbeatable prices and world class after-sales service will also help the Japanese company retain its grasp as the industry leader. The company’s Corolla car continues to be the top selling vehicle worldwide and a new model planned for launch in 2008 should keep things that way.

Unlike its American rivals, Toyota is enjoying bumper profits. Whereas the likes of Ford, Chrysler and GM are doing their best to cut costs to survive and stay in the market, their Japanese rival expects its profits to continue to grow from the $11.7 billion last year. Industry insider Jim Hossack believes Japan’s skilled and motivated workforce also greatly helps Toyota. "A job in the auto industry is still a prestige position in Japan," he said. He also puts Toyota’s success down to its unbeatable image, saying: "They have to keep their quality up, though they've had such a good reputation people forgive them when they have problems." Hossack added "People don't forgive GM when they have problems." Toyota executives were modest in recognizing their achievement. They insisted that the goal was to be number one in quality, not sales volume.

THE ARTICLE

Serbia's Marija Serifovic won this year’s Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday in Helsinki, Finland. She beat competitors from 23 other European countries in a three-hour televised extravaganza. The 22-year-old singer won with a simple ballad called Motiva, which means ‘Prayer’ in Serbian. Serifovic was elated after the victory and found it difficult to contain her excitement. She spoke at a news conference after the contest, which was broadcast live across Europe to an estimated 100 million viewers. She said: "I honestly think that a new chapter has opened for Serbia and not only in music. I'm proud.” It was Serbia’s first solo performance at the annual song competition. Her Serbian fans were delighted at the victory. “She has a fantastic voice and she has put Serbia on the world music map,” said one fan.

The current show is very different from how it all started in the 1950s. Then, it was a formal, black-tie event, and was the flagship for the European Broadcasting Union. Over the years it has made many singers famous, although most winners simply disappeared. Perhaps the most famous artists to emerge from the show are Abba – the Swedish group who won in 1974 with their song ‘Waterloo’. Many Western Europeans now view the show as an annual joke, a showcase for amateurs with little real talent, rather than a serious contest. Conversely, Eastern Europeans are taking a big interest in it. Ukraine finished second this year and won the contest in 2004, when Serbia and Montenegro finished second. Perhaps this is a sign that Eastern European rock is set to take over the music world.
