　　President Jiang Zemin yesterday highly praised the outstanding performance of Chinese athletes at the Sydney Olympic Games, describing their achievement as the“glory of the nation and the pride of the people”.

　　Hailing the results as“a new breakthrough”for China, Jiang extended heartfelt congratulations to every member of the delegation and sports workers across the country on behalf of the central authorities and the whole nation.

　　He particularly mentioned that such excellent performances resulted from the“spirit of patriotism (爱国主义 ), collectivism(集体主义）and socialism,”and demonstrated (表明) the Chinese people’s enterprising (有胆量的) spirit to“constantly strive to become stronger.”

　　“At the recent IOC Executive Board session presided over (主持) by you, Beijing has been accepted as one of the five candidate cities for the 2008 Olympic Games.”

　　Japan escaped the world's most powerful earthquake in two and half years on Friday with only 400 injuries, most of them minor.

　　Damage from the pre-dawn quake－measuring 8 on the Richter scale－was relatively light, not only because it struck deep under the ocean but because Japan's population was prepared for such an event.

　　Power and water supplies were cut off for several hours after the event. There were no reports at 4:50 am (local time). Two fishermen are still missing, though. Police suspect they have been swept away by the tsunami (huge ocean wave) that followed the earthquake.

　　A wide area of the island suffered damage: roads were blocked, fishing boats sunk, and part of the ceiling of Kushiro airport, 900 kilometers northeast of Tokyo, caved in. Kushiro, a city of 190,000 people, was believed to be the hardest hit.

　　In the nearby city of Tomakomai, black smoke and flames rose into the sky from an oil tank fire. There were no injuries though, and the fire was contained within hours. Officials said 188,700 barrels of crude oil were lost.

　　Residents were shaken by the event, but stayed calm despite some 25 aftershocks－at least one registering 7.1 on the Richter scale.

　　The quake was the strongest worldwide since the 8.4-magnitude quake of June 23, 2001. That, near the coast of Peru(秘鲁), killed 74 people.

　　Takeshi Matsumura, a Hokkaido government official, said 455 people were confirmed injured by late Friday.

　　Only 28 were seriously hurt, mostly suffering from broken bones. Located along the Pacific “Ring of Fire”, Japan is one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries.

　　The trend is unpleasant for human noses,but may be life - threatening for bees and butterflies.
　　"Many insects find flowers by folowing the scent(香味) produced by those flowers," said the studies lead author Jose D.Fuentes,an environmental scientist at the University of Virginia.
　　"The increasing pollution makes it difficult for them to locate the flowers and feed on their nectar(花蜜)."
　　Scientists have alrady known that flowers produce scent molecules(分子) that bond with pollutants.The process breaks down the plants' sweet smell.
　　With more pollution in the air,the scent molecules don't remain effective as long and travel shorter distances on the wind.
　　The new study suggests that in the mid - 19th century,when pollution levels were first recorded,scent molecules would have been able to travel some 1,000 to 1,200 meters.
　　Today,in the polluted air found downwind of large cities,scentst may only make it some 200 to 300 meters.
　　The report was recently published in the journal,Atmospheric Environment.
