A 110-year-old Malaysian man who has been looking for a wife said he is ready to marry again after an 82-year-old woman responded to his call for a bride, the Daily Telegraph reports. Ahmad Mohamad Isa, who has 20 grandchildren and 40 great-grandchildren, told Utusan Malaysia earlier this week that he wanted company and a wife to take care of him. The report got the attention of 82-year-old Sanah Ahmad, a widow of 30 years and mother of nine, who said she was interested and asked her children to contact Ahmad's family to make arrangements. Sanah told the paper that she is attracted to Ahmad as he bears a striking resemblance to her late husband and has the same name.英国《每日电讯报》报道,马来西亚一位110岁的男人之前一直在征婚,如今他的启事得到了回应,他已经准备好娶一位82岁的女人作他的妻子。这个男人名叫艾哈迈德•默罕默德•阿萨,他有20个孙子孙女和40个重孙子孙女,他本周早些时候对《马来西亚前锋报》的记者说他想找个伴儿,找个妻子来照顾他。这个报道吸引了82岁的萨娜•艾哈迈德的注意,萨娜是一位孀居了30年的寡妇,生有9个孩子。她说她很感兴趣,并让她的孩子与艾哈迈德的家人联系以做出安排。萨娜对记者说她之所以被艾哈迈德所吸引是因为他跟她逝去的丈夫有着惊人的相似之处,而且两人的名字都是一样的。

1,000 birds drop from the sky in US美1000只黑鸟坠地死亡
New Year's celebrations in a southern American state were marred when more than 1,000 black birds fell dead from the sky, AP reported. Wildlife officials are trying to determine what caused the birds' demise over an Arkansas town. Commission ornithologist Karen Rowe said the birds showed physical trauma, and she speculated that "the flock could have been hit by lightning or high-altitude hail." The commission said that New Year's Eve revelers shooting off fireworks in the area could have startled the birds from their roost and caused them to die from stress.

美联社报道,美国南部一州的新年庆祝活动由于1000多只黑鸟从天而降坠地死亡而蒙上阴影。野生动物保护委员会的官员正在调查造成这1000只黑鸟死亡并在阿肯色州一小镇坠落的原因。该委员会的鸟类学家凯伦•罗说这些鸟有外伤,他怀疑这群鸟可能是被闪电或高空冰雹击中。该委员会还称也可能是新年前夜庆祝的人们在该地区放烟花使这些鸟在栖息中被惊醒并紧张致死。
