  BBC News:Manchester Take the Top Spot

  Manchester United's 2-0 victory over Blackburn at Old Trafford on Sunday took them to the top of the Premier League.Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice to see Manchester move three points clear of Arsenal, who still have two games in hand.Manchester United started without their in-form striker(表现平平的前锋), Wayne Rooney, who has been out for up to four weeks after injuring his ankle in training last month.

  It is a sign of the strength of Sir Alex Ferguson's young side that the absence of Rooney made little difference to the team's performance.The attacking force of Ronaldo, Carlos Tevez and Ryan Giggs is such that Blackburn were simply defeated.Sir Alex praised his side, describing them as “the strongest squad(阵容)I've ever had”.

  Many English learners have difficulty deciding what kind of English accent they want to have.A US accent, perhaps modeled on the way a Hollywood star speaks? Or maybe you want to imitate(模仿)the British accent of a BBC news reader?

  Young British people find the US accent attractive while young US people like a British accent.Especially when the person speaking is of the opposite sex! Let’s listen to what they have to say.

  Stephen Yang, 17, from London, UK

  A US accent is cute, especially when a girl speaks it.Whether it’s Jessia Alba speaking or the girl- next-door, the way US girls speak has a sweet tingle that is really sassy(时髦).A girl from Texas recently moved into our neighborhood.Her Texan twang(鼻音)had all the boys here on their knees within seconds of meeting her.

  To me, accents reflect the attitudes, characteristics and lifestyles of the people.

  Jennifer Sun, 16, from New Jersey, US

  From watching English actors like Daniel Radcliffe, my friends and I have developed a soft spot for British men.Some are attracted to the qualities of English males, while others admire their sense of style.

  Everyone, however, agrees that the most appealing aspect of an English man is his accent.For example, many American girls watch Harry Potter movies over and over again just to listen to the actors speak.

  The English accent seems almost like art.

  Fish have the limited ability to count directly up to four, say scientists.

  Christian Agrillo, an experimental psychologist at the university of Padua in Italy, said that it was during a study on North American mosquito fish that their limited mathematical ability was observed.

  Previously it was known that the fish could tell big groups from small ones, but the researcher said that the fish used their mathematical ability to count the number of other fish around them.

  In their recent research, the researchers conducted a series of experiments to see whether a single mosquito fish would prefer to join a group of between two and four other fish.

  They found that the female fish preferred to join groups that were larger.For example , a fish of a group of two always preferred to join groups of three rather than those containing just two.

  In another experiment, it was found that the fish were unable to count over four directly, though they could distinguish between larger numbers if they differed by a ratio(比例)of 2∶1.For example, the fish could distinguish between a group of 16 , compared to a group of eight others.But they could not tell the difference between a group of 12 compared to a group of eight, a ratio of 3:.The results, published on the BBC World wide's natural history site, indicated that the fish are able to use eyes to tell larger numbers, but not very accurately.

  Lead researcher Professor Angelo Bisazza said that fish's numerical ability was similar to that of monkeys and human babies between 6 and 12 months old, who were both able to visually count small numbers and less accurately estimate larger ones.

  GL-14 health club in Manchester city centre is a gym which also has lots of member activities outside the gym from charity fashion shows to dinner dances giving members a chance to socialize away from the treadmill(繁忙的工作).
