2010 listing published on October 6.
Kraft Foods CEO Irene Rosenfeld came
48.second . American talk show host Oprah Winfrey was third. German Prime
Minister Angela Merkel was the fourth most powerful woman, 49.while/and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton rounded out (使圆满) the top five.
This year Forbes changed 50.the way it
ranked women. It is now supposedly
based 51.less on wealth and power but more on influence.
“52.They influenced the lives of millions, sometimes billions of people,” said Moira Forbes, vice president and publisher of Forbes Woman.
Forbes said Obama topped the list this year
53.because “she
has made the office of first lady her own” while remaining popular.
“She’s also effective: In response to her Let’s Move! campaign 54.against childhood obesity(肥胖), companies 55.like
Coca-Cola, Kellogg and General
Mills have agreed to cut the calorie content of their foods by 2015,” Forbes said.

A
Tokyo is one of those places that you can love and hate at the same time.
In Tokyo
there are always too many people in the places where I want to be. Of course
there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast, but in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is
not different from London, Paris and New
York in that. It is different when one wants to walk.
At certain times of the day there are a lot
of people on foot in London’s
Oxford Street.
But the streets near the Ginze in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very
polite; there are just too
many of them.
The worst time to be in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is when the nightclubs are closing and everybody
wants to go home. There are 35,000 nightclubs in Tokyo, and you do not often see one that is empty.
During the day, most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets
every day. At most stations, trains arrive
every two or three minutes, but at certain
hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, Japanese trains are very good. They always leave and arrive on
time. On a London
train you would see everybody reading a newspaper. In Tokyo trains everybody in
a seat seems to be asleep, whether his
journey is long or short.
In Tokyo, I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire-engines
raced past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them
can really surprise me now.
