A: Are we all finished?
A: Not yet, Jim. Don't be a clockwatcher. We still have one more hour to go.
J: Really? I don't have anything to do.
A: Oh, yes! Here you are. Give me the summary report on the project by five, all right?
J: 我们全做完了吗？
A: 还没有，吉姆。不要老是看钟。还有一个钟头。
J: 真的吗？我无事可做了。
A: 喔，对了！这给你。五点之前给我这份计划的摘要，好吗？
重点解说：
1、 finished「做完的，完成的」I'm finished with this
work.「我做完这份工作了。」cf. finished另有「完蛋的，气数已尽的」之意，如He's finished.「他完蛋了。」
2、 Don't be a clockwatcher.「不要老是看钟。」clockwatcher指心里老是挂念下班时间怎么还没到，而不时看钟或表的人。
3、 ~ to go「还有~，剩下~」，此语置于表示时间、距离的名词之后，如There is still a month to go before the vacation begins.「现在离假期还有一个月。」此语另有「(食物)带走的」之意，如Two hamburgers to go, please.「请给我两个汉堡，要带走。」
4、 Here you are.是把东西拿给人家时的常用语。
5、 summary「摘要，总结」
6、 project「计划，企划」

A leaf sits pinned between a rock and the flowing waters
of a Kisatchie National Forest stream. The 600,000-acre (242,812-hectare) forest
boasts seemingly endless stands of longleaf pines and is home to the endangered
red-cockaded woodpecker, whose designated nest trees are identifiable by the
white band painted around their trunks.

Martian Time Messes With Earthling Lives[火星时间让地球人生活大乱]
Cindy Oda and her husband, both NASA engineers, sleep with eyeshades in the middle of the day. After work, they aren't sure whether to say "good morning" or "good night."
The cause of this havoc is Mars.
Since the landing of the Spirit rover in January, scientists and engineers at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena have shifted their work schedules to match Mars' alien rhythm.
The Martian day is 39.5 minutes longer than an Earth day, meaning our night and day rarely coincide with Mars'.
To stay in sync with the rover's most productive daylight hours, mission controllers must shift their work schedules as well. Keeping accurate Martian time is important because controllers can schedule work for the solar-powered rovers only during daylight hours on Mars.
But humans make lousy Martians. After millions of years, humans are adapted to 24-hour days. "I just keep asking, 'What time is it? What time is it?'" Oda said.
But better Mars than, say, Saturn's moon Titan, where a day lasts 382.69 hours.
Of the nine planets in our solar system, Mars has the most similar "day" to Earth. Each Martian day is called a "sol," which, in Earth style, is divided into 24 "hours." But because Mars spins at a slightly slower speed than Earth, its day is just a bit longer 一 24 hours, 39 minutes and 35.244 seconds, to be exact.

I was so lucky
 Roxette来自国际流行音乐重镇瑞典，由男成员Per Gessle和女成员Marie Fredriksson组成。词曲作者、主唱、吉他手per 1959年1月生于瑞典南部的哈尔姆斯塔德市，女歌手marie 1958年5月30日生于瑞典的阿尔沃斯塔市。per从七岁起就开始着迷于The Beatles、猫王Elvis Presley的音乐，17岁开始学习吉他，不久组成了他的第一个乐队Graperock，1980年，per另组Gyllene Tider乐队，一曲“Flickorna Pa TV2"使他在瑞典初获成功。marie在加入Roxette之前便是瑞典一位颇有名气的女歌手，在1986年以前推出过3张个人专辑。
per和marie1978年相识于哈尔姆斯塔德市的一家摇滚俱乐部，俩人都爱好美国60年代的摇滚乐。1986年，他们正式走到了一起，组建了Roxette！同年，Roxette的首张专辑〈Pearls Of Passion〉推出后在瑞典一炮而红，“joy of a toy”、“ soul deep”、“surrender”、“goodbye to you”、“so far away”等均成为当年瑞典的热门歌曲。1987年圣诞期间，Roxette推出了新单曲唱片“It must have been love"(X'mas for the brokenhearted)，此曲后来收入全球热门影片〈Pretty Woman〉（风月俏佳人）的电影原声专辑中，是Roxette最成功的作品。
