TITLE=THIS IS AMERICA #1078 - Yard Sales and Flea Markets
BYLINE=Jerilyn Watson
VOICE ONE:
Every weekend, many Americans drive around looking for things to buy. They are taking part in an unusual kind of outdoor (1)treasure hunt. I'm Shirley Griffith.
VOICE TWO:
And I'm Rich Kleinfeldt A report about (2)yard sales and (3)flea markets is our story today on the VOA Special English program THIS IS AMERICA.
((THEME))
VOICE ONE:
"Everybody loves a (4)bargain" is a well-known saying. A bargain is a good deal. It is something you get for less than its (5)value. One person's useless, ugly, or broken object can be another person's bargain. That is why so many Americans do not throw things away. They put them outside their house. They put on a "For Sale" sign. And, as simple as that, they have a yard sale.
In some parts of the country, such a sale might be called a (6)garage sale or a moving sale. Whatever the name, the activity is the same. People sell things they no longer want.
VOICE TWO:
Over the years, many people's houses fill up with objects: Books no one wants to read any more. Baby clothes for the child who is now a university student.
These objects are no longer useful to the first owner. Yet it seems (7)wasteful to throw them away. Often, people must make a decision about things when they move to a different house. "Let's have a yard sale," they say. "Then we will not have to move the things we do not use anymore. And we can make a little money at the same time."
VOICE ONE:
The sellers put a paid (8)announcement in a local newspaper. It tells when and where the yard sale will take place. It lists some of the things to be sold. These sales are very popular during weekends in spring, summer, and autumn. On one weekend, for example, you can find announcements for almost two-hundred yard sales around Washington, D-C.
Early in the morning, all the things to be sold are carried out of the house. Then they sit all day in the sunlight -- like tired guests at a party -- waiting for someone to take them home.
VOICE TWO:
Just about anything can be sold at a yard sale. Sometimes, there are more clothes than anything else. Cooking (9)equipment is also popular. So are old toys, tools, books, tables, and chairs. Then there are objects called "white elephants." A white elephant is something you think is extremely (10)ugly or useless.
It may be an electric light shaped like a fish. You feel a sharp (11)pain whenever you look at it. To someone else, however, it might be a thing of beauty and joy.
Usually, the seller puts a price on each object at a yard sale. However, that price can almost always be (12)negotiated. The price of a table, for example, might be marked "Ten Dollars." But the seller probably will accept eight dollars. By the end of the day, if the table has not been sold, the seller probably will accept much less.
VOICE TWO:
(13)Serious buyers also spend time getting ready for yard sales. They collect the newspaper announcements. Then they make lists of the sales they want to attend. Some use maps to plan their trip. They want to get to as many sales as possible.
A man who lives near the Middle Western city of Chicago filled his home almost completely with (14)furniture and window (15)coverings from yard sales. He said he was able to travel to Japan with the money he saved.
((MUSIC BRIDGE))
VOICE TWO:
New things in stores cost more than some people can pay. So, they are happy to find a painting, a warm coat, or a chair for ten or fifteen dollars. Perhaps they find dishes for twenty dollars that would cost one-hundred dollars in a store.
Some (16)professional dealers in old objects also go to yard sales. They may find a valuable object for a small amount of money. Then they will re-sell it in their own store. . .usually at a much higher price.
Other people go because they enjoy the hunt. They like to find beautiful or unusual things that are being sold for less than their value. They may find a piece of old furniture, for example, that is worth a lot of money after it is (17)repaired.
VOICE ONE:
Some people go to yard sales to find a (18)special thing that they collect. It may be old toy trains, for example, or paintings of dogs. Experts say more Americans are collecting old things now than ever before. The most popular things to collect are small objects: old money, (19)stamps, (20)dolls, (21)bottles, baseball cards, toys and advertising signs.
Most people who go to yard sales, however, are not looking for anything special. They might buy an object simply because it costs so little. They enjoy negotiating over prices, even if they really do not need the object. Later, they may hold their own yard sale to sell all the things they have bought.
((MUSIC BRIDGE))
VOICE TWO:
A flea market is similar to a yard sale, only bigger. Flea markets get their name from small, (22)wingless insects called fleas. Fleas jump on to animals or humans and hide in their hair. Some people say the expression "flea market" comes from the fear that fleas may be hiding in the old things you buy at such a market.
Some flea markets are (23)community events. Many families bring things to sell. The event may be held at a school or in a park. Some schools and (24)churches hold flea markets once a year to (25)earn money for special projects. Most flea markets, however, are held on weekends during spring, summer, and autumn.
VOICE ONE:
Professional dealers' flea markets are more organized than yard sales or community flea markets. Sellers usually must get a trader's (26)license from the local government. They must collect tax on everything they sell.
Some people get all their earnings by selling things at flea markets. Others have traditional jobs and earn a little extra money at flea markets. Some dealers at a flea market sell lots of different things. Others sell just one kind of thing. It may be glass objects or old farm equipment. Many professional flea markets sell only (27)antiques. In America, things are considered antique if they are at least one-hundred years old.
VOICE TWO:
One of the largest flea markets in the world is held in the state of California. On the second Sunday of every month, buyers look at objects offered by more than two-thousand sellers. This (28)huge event is the Rose Bowl Flea Market. It takes place in the famous sports center in Pasadena, California. In sunshine or during rain, sellers show all kinds of things: books, records, (29)fishbowls, (30)seashells, doghouses.
Arts and (31)crafts are offered at the Rose Bowl Arts and Crafts Outdoor (32)Festival, in connection with the Rose Bowl Flea Market. The only objects not (33)permitted for sale (34)include food, animals, and guns.
VOICE ONE:
Another famous market is called "The World's Longest Outdoor Sale." This event is held each year along a road that runs through the southern states of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama. The sale is seven-hundred-twenty-five kilometers long.
The twelfth yearly sale was held last Thursday through Sunday. More than two-thousand people (35)lined up to sell things. They included antiques, art, farm tools, home-made food, even cats and dogs. Thousands of people stopped their cars and looked over the goods at "The World's Longest Outdoor Sale."
((MUSIC BRIDGE))
VOICE TWO:
To some people, flea markets and yard sales are a sign that Americans are too (36)concerned with (37)material (38)possessions. They ask: Why do people spend so much time buying things they probably do not need? Is it some basic human (39)desire to trade or to get something for almost nothing?
Some people have a strong desire to collect old objects such as toys or dolls. Perhaps they may be trying to (40)recapture the happy times when they were children.
VOICE ONE:
To other people, yard sales are simply a way to have fun. In some communities, ten or twenty families may have a yard sale on the same weekend. These are important social (41)gatherings. A busy working mother in Cleveland said she would never have met so many people who live near her without yard sales.
Other people say yard sales help the (42)environment. Old things are re-used instead of being thrown away.
In any case, experts say buying and collecting objects at yard sales and flea markets are more popular than ever in America. Hunting for unusual (43)items is a sport for some people. For others, it is a way of life.

TITLE=EXPLORATIONS#1966 - Meridian International Center
BYLINE=Jill Moss
VOICE ONE:
This is Shirley Griffith.
VOICE TWO:
And this is Steve Ember with the VOA Special English program, EXPLORATIONS. Today we tell about the Meridian International Center in Washington, D.C. It is an organization that works to increase understanding among people from different cultures.
(THEME)
VOICE ONE:
(1)Imagine what you would do if you traveled to the United States, but immediately became lost after arriving. (2)Instead of flying to Washington State on the west (3)coast, you accidentally arrived in Washington, D.C. on the east coast. This recently happened to a Greek woman and her two children. However, the (4)Meridian International Center was able to help.
Meridian runs an information center at Dulles International Airport near Washington, D.C. The family arrived there and recognized the mistake. A Meridian worker came to the (5)rescue.
He called another Meridian (6)employee, Hassan Rateb, who spoke Greek. Mister Rateb was able to reach members of the family living in Washington State. He then made plans for the visitors to fly there the next day.
The Meridian Center also helped the family find a room at a local hotel. The center even sent a representative to help the family get on the (7)correct plane the following day. This kind of work is just one example of what Meridian International Center does for foreigners in the United States.
VOICE TWO:
Meridian International Center was (8)established in Nineteen-Sixty. Since that time, it has become a leading organization in the area of cultural understanding. Its (9)purpose is to increase international understanding through the (10)exchange of people, ideas and the arts. Meridian Center serves as a door to the United States for visitors from other countries. Its programs and special training services provide foreigners with (11)knowledge about life in this country. In addition, the Meridian Center supports educational programs for Americans who are interested in world issues.
One of the more popular programs operated by Meridian is an exchange between (12)professional workers. This program brings people together from all over the world. International visitors working in government, business or education can meet Americans who do (13)similar work to exchange ideas and information. These meetings help professionals expand their knowledge and develop lasting (14)relationships. Each year, more than two-thousand international professionals take part in the exchange program of Meridian International Center.
VOICE ONE:
The center also offers (15)cultural training for Americans preparing to work in another country. It teaches them the (16)customs and traditions of the country. Foreigners coming to the United States to work or study can receive help in understanding American culture.
Meridian also runs an educational program designed to (17)improve cultural understanding in Washington-area schools. This program is called "International Classroom." Representatives from foreign countries discuss information about their native lands with students. Often, the representatives bring things from their home country to the schools to show the children. They usually wear traditional clothes.
Earlier this year, Germany's B-M-W Group honored Meridian's International Classroom program with an award. The German car-maker also gave Meridian a financial gift to be used for more teaching about foreign cultures in schools.
VOICE TWO:
Meridian International Center also supports art programs and international art shows. The center works with museums and cultural organizations around the world to present foreign art in America. Many of the shows travel to (18)museums around the United States after opening in Washington. The program helps build understanding and support for international art in the United States. The Meridian Center also sends American art to foreign countries for people to enjoy. Music, dance, (19)literature readings, and other cultural events are also supported by the center.
Karen Jacob is the Communications Director for Meridian. She says the cultural programs run by the center are very popular. The public, she says, can learn a lot about a foreign culture through art.
(MUSIC BRIDGE)
VOICE ONE:
Earlier this year, the wives of South Korean President Kim Dae-jung and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak spoke at the Meridian Center. They were in the United States for official visits with their husbands.
Missus Lee Hee'ho of South Korea (20)discussed her family's efforts to support (21)democracy in Korea. Missus Suzanne Mubarak discussed the position of women in Egypt. Both women spoke as part of Meridian's Professional Women's Series.
The center also recently supported an international committee that was (22)investigating (23)violence between Israelis and (24)Palestinians. Former Senator George Mitchell led the (25)committee. The international committee proposed measures to reach peace in the Middle East. Meridian Center worked with the committee in Washington, New York and Jerusalem.
VOICE TWO:
The center also recently organized a series of training programs to improve (26)humanitarian aid to Iraqi (27)refugees. (28)Exiled people from northern and southern Iraq took part in the training. They represented non-governmental organizations working to help the refugees.
In April, Meridian opened an important show of Iranian art. The show includes eighty-eight modern paintings by fifty-four Iranian artists. It was organized with the help of the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art. The show is the first major cultural exchange of its kind in many years.
(MUSIC BRIDGE)
VOICE ONE:
Meridian International Center uses two interesting houses as its (29)headquarters in Washington - Meridian House and the White-Meyer House. John Russell Pope designed both buildings. Mister Pope was a famous American (30)architect. In addition to Meridian House, he designed the Jefferson Memorial, the National Gallery, and the National Archives in Washington, D.C.
Meridian House and the White-Meyer House are on a national list of historical places. An iron fence, trees and beautiful plants surround the center for privacy.
VOICE TWO:
(31)Ambassador Irwin Boyle Laughlin had Meridian House built in the early Twentieth Century. He (32)purchased the land in Nineteen-Twelve, but (33)delayed building the house until his retirement in Nineteen-Twenty. The building is filled with art collected by Ambassador Laughlin during his service as an American (34)diplomat.
The ninety-year-old house still has the electric lift system, or elevator, put in when the building was first built. People who work at the center say the Laughlins had to run a wire from the city's street car system to power the (35)elevator.
VOICE ONE:
The Laughlins' daughter, Gertrude, lived at the Meridian House while growing up. The house became hers when they died. In Nineteen-Sixty, she sold the house to a private group that worked to improve international understanding. The group later became Meridian International Center. Today, financial support for the center comes from public groups, businesses and gifts from (36)individuals.
VOICE TWO:
The White-Meyer house is just next to the Meridian building. American diplomat Henry White had the house built in Nineteen-Twelve. Mister White was a good friend of Mister Laughlin. The two diplomats had planned to buy (37)property next to each other.
When Henry White died in Nineteen-Twenty-Seven, the house became his son's. Several years later, the owner of the Washington Post Newspaper, Eugene Meyer, purchased the home. The White-Meyer home became part of Meridian International Center in Nineteen-Eighty-Seven.
VOICE ONE:
A garden with trees and flowers surrounds both homes. There is also an area filled with water and rocks behind the buildings. The rock garden has become a popular meeting place for young and old visitors from many countries. They have gathered there because they have found the Meridian International Center opens the door to understanding world cultures.

89 "太阳神号"飞船试飞再创新高
DATE=8-24-2001
TITLE=AMERICAN MOSAIC #832 - Helios Aircraft
BYLINE=Paul Thompson
HOST:
(Start at 58")If you wanted to fly to the very (1)edge of space, how would you do it? Once you got there, how long do you think you could stay? An (2)aircraft powered by the sun might be able to stay near the edge of space for several days or maybe several months. Shep O'Neal has more.
ANNCR:
On August Thirteenth, an unusual looking aircraft of Project (3)Helios set a new record during a test flight above the American state of Hawaii. It flew higher than any other aircraft in the world. It reached an (4)altitude of twenty-nine-thousand-four-hundred-thirteen meters.
The Helios aircraft is an American space agency support project built by the Aerovironment Company of Monrovia, California. It has no pilot. It is controlled from the ground by radio. It looks like a huge wing without a tail. The wing is a little more than seventy-five meters long. That is longer than the wings on most large (5)passenger airplanes. Fourteen electric motors turn fourteen (6)propellers. The motors are powered by sixty-six-thousand solar cells that make electricity from sunlight.
NASA research scientists say this huge flying wing will have many uses in the future. They hope that a future Helios aircraft will be able to fly at extreme altitudes for several weeks or months. These aircraft could serve several purposes. These might include new and (7)advanced methods of telling what the weather will be. For example, Helios could be used to (8)observe the movement of huge ocean storms. It could fly high above their (9)fierce winds. It could also be used as an advanced method of (10)communications. It might also be used to observe the environment.
NASA scientists say this kind of aircraft will cost a great deal less than a satellite placed in space. And it will be able to do much of the same work. Scientists say this kind of aircraft might also be used to explore the planet Mars. They say it could fly long (11)distances through the thin (12)atmosphere and send pictures back to Earth.
一些美国城镇名的来历

TITLE=AMERICAN MOSAIC #832 - Place Names
BYLINE=Nancy Steinbach
HOST:
（Start at 4'13"）Our VOA listener question this week comes in an e-mail from Lithuania. Ramunas Chomskis asks a question concerning the names of some American cities and towns. It seems that many cities have the same names as those in other parts of the country and the world.
There are several (1)explanations for this. One is that the first white people to settle an area named it after the place where they were born. For example, the city of Argyle, Minnesota has the same name as a county in western Scotland. A town in the (2)northeastern state of Maine was also named after the (3)Scottish (4)county. A man named Solomon Comstock was born in Argyle, Maine, in Eighteen-Forty-Two. He later moved to Minnesota. He proposed that the new town be named Argyle after the one where he was born.
Some American cities were named after famous cities in other countries. An example of this is two American towns named Rome. Rome, Georgia was named in Eighteen-Thirty-Four. It was given that name because it was in a hilly area which was (5)similar to the seven hills of (6)ancient Rome in Italy. Rome, New York got its name in Eighteen-Nineteen. History experts say that many American settlements at that time were named after ancient cities. Perhaps that also explains the naming of (7)Athens, Georgia and Athens, West Virginia for the ancient city of Athens, Greece.
Other American cities are (8)linked by language and (9)geography. An example of this is two cities named Las Vegas. Las Vegas, Nevada is famous for its games of chance and (10)entertainment. It was established in Nineteen-Oh-Five. Its name comes from the (11)Spanish words meaning "the (12)meadows." The city of Las Vegas, New Mexico is older, but not so well known. It was established in Eighteen-Thirty-Five. It was first called "Nuestra Senora de los Dolores de Las Vegas Grandes." That is Spanish for "Our Lady of the Sorrows of the Great Meadows." Its name was shortened over the years to "Las Vegas."
There are many other same-name cities all over the world. We can think of Moscow, Idaho and Russia ... Saint Petersburg, Florida and Russia ... Syracuse, New York and Italy ... Olympia, Washington and Greece ... Odessa, Texas and Ukraine ... Rochester, New York and Minnesota ... Charleston, South Carolina and West Virginia... Dover, Delaware and New Hampshire...
