25% doubt Obama was born in U.S. 奥巴马不是美国人?
The theory that the president was not born in the U.S. has nagged him since the 2008 presidential campaign. Recently, a CNN poll indicated some Americans continue to have doubt, CNN reported. According to the poll, more than a quarter of the public have doubts about Obama's citizenship, with 11 percent saying Obama was definitely not born in the United States. A group of true believers have pressed the idea that Obama was born in another country -- some say in his father's homeland of Kenya. By their claims, Obama is constitutionally ineligible to serve as president. Last August, the White House released the president's birth certificate to refute the rumor. But a newspaper in Hawaii said it was a copy. It was suggested that it was easy to fake a birth certificate from the '60s. 据美国有线电视新闻网报道,自从08年奥巴马竞选总统以来,关于他是不是在美国本土出生的问题就一直被热议。近期,一项美国有线电视新闻网的民调显示,现在仍有一些美国人持怀疑态度。据此调查,超过四分之一的美国公民怀疑奥巴马的公民身份,其中11%的人肯定奥巴马不是在美国出生的。一部分人相信奥巴马出生于别的国家,可能是他父亲的家乡肯尼亚。那么根据此说法,奥巴马就是非法在任。去年8月,美国白宫曾发布总统奥巴马的出生证以辟谣。但一份夏威夷当地报纸则称,此出生证并非原本。有人称,现在要伪造上世纪60年代的出生证简直易如反掌。

1st robot able to show emotions 有情绪变化的机器人面世
A European research team has developed the world's first robot, Nao, that can develop and display emotions, the Guardian reported. When Nao is sad, he hunches his shoulders forward and looks down. When he's happy, he raises his arms, angling for a hug. When frightened, Nao cowers, and he stays like that until he is soothed with some gentle strokes on his head. He can form bonds with the people he meets depending on how he's treated. The more he interacts with someone, the more Nao learns a person's moods and the stronger the bond becomes. 英国《卫报》报道,欧洲一研究小组已研发出世界上首台可以产生并展示情绪变化的机器人。该机器人取名为“Nao”。悲伤时,他会耸肩垂头;高兴时会展开手臂做拥抱状;害怕时他会蜷缩起来,直到有人轻抚他的头部为止。他可以根据别人怎么对待他来决定如何和他们相处。他和某人“交流”越多,对这个人的情绪就越了解,关系也越好。
