3【Venus moves across the sun】金星凌日天文奇观

TEXT:Sky watchers all over the Earth witnessed a rare astronomical event on Wednesday... the transit of Venus as it passed between the sun and Earth. In South Korea, students watched the planet, which appeared as a small black round spot, as it moved across the face of the sun. In the Philippines, students held pieces of film across their eyes as a filter to help block the sun's bright rays. The phenomenon happens twice in an eight year period... and then not again until more than 100 years. Wednesday's transit was the second time in eight years. The next pair of transits won't happen again until 2117. In northern India, the sun rose with a black dot across it. Scientists hope to learn more about Venus' atmosphere -- and why that planet, which is nearly the same size and orbit from the sun -- is so different from Earth. Julie Noce, Reuters

【NASA delivers high-def view of Venus transit】NASA提供金星凌日高清摄像

TEXT:The images were produced by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) during a six hour period over June 5 and 6. They were taken through different filters, designed for different wavelengths to show details of the Sun's surface and provide clues about Venus's atmosphere. Recording the transit in so many diferent ways also helped NASA scientists calibrate the SDO's instruments for its ongoing observations of the Sun. Using established data about the path of Venus across the sun, SDO scientists were able to ensure the observatory's instruments were oriented to true solar north. The observatory, carrying an array of four telescopes, was launched in February, 2010 on a five year mission to study the sun. NASA says it has been a spectacular success.

【Hispanic Voters Could Play Key Role in US Election】

视频下载（点击右键另存为）
TEXT:Luis Torres and Willie Fernandez run a Houston company that does completion work on construction projects.

But when it comes to politics, they differ, with Fernandez being more critical of President Obama, the Democratic Party candidate.

“Look at the deficit we are in now, economically,” Fernandez said.

“I don't think that is all due to Obama; it all came from before,” said Torres.

“No, but $15 billion in the first year...” noted Fernandez.

“Well, he has inherited a lot of this,” replied Torres.

But, while Torres defends President Obama, he is still not sure how he will vote in November.

“The last time I voted for Obama. I am disappointed in what he has done. I mean, he has really not done much. , I don't know if it is all due to the politics that are in play, but he has not fulfilled the promises that he made,” Torres said.

In recent speeches, President Obama has argued that he needs more time to deal with the nation's enormous problems.

“I know we have gone through some tough years and I know that for all the things we have done, we still have so much undone,” Obama said.

Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney discussed the economy in a recent speech in Washington to a group of Hispanic small business owners.

“I know your prosperity means greater opportunity, for you, for your families, for your employees, for your communities and for the nation,” Romney said.

What Romney did not mention was his hard-line policy on illegal immigration, which some Hispanic supporters, like Willie Fernandez, find troubling.

“Here you have to look at who is the worst of all evils, I mean the reality. Am I happy with him? No, I am not. Am I happy with Obama? No, I am not,” Fernandez said.

Both Torres and Fernandez are naturalized U.S. citizens; Torres came from Colombia, Fernandez from Cuba. They both favor some form of immigration reform and think it would be counterproductive to deport millions of laborers who are needed here.

Another issue of concern to Luis Torres is that the number of Hispanic elected officials does not match the size of the Hispanic population in many states and Hispanic voting rates are generally low.

“Hispanics have to get behind their candidates and get them elected so that they can have more representation,” Torres said.

But Willie Fernandez thinks the ethnicity of candidates is often over-emphasized.

“If you are elected by the people, you should represent the people, whoever you are. You can't bend it to one ethnic group or another, you have to represent the people,” Fernandez said.

Both men strongly believe in the democratic system and plan to vote in November, but neither one is entirely sure whom they will support.

【How Gold Became the Gold Standard for Trade】

TEXT:This is the VOA Special English Economics Report.
The best example of something is often called the "gold standard." It sets the standard against which other things are measured. In economics, the term describes how major trading nations once used gold to set currency values and exchange rates. Many nations continued to use the gold standard until the last century.
In the United States, people could exchange paper money for gold from the eighteen seventies until nineteen thirty-three. President Richard Nixon finally disconnect ed the dollar from the value of gold in nineteen seventy-one. Some politicians from time to time call for a return to the gold standard.
But in nineteen seventy-eight the International Monetary Fund ended an official gold price. The IMF also ended the required use of gold in transaction s with its member countries.
Since that time, gold prices have grown, but unevenly . Prices -- uncorrected for inflation -- are now at record highs. The current price is above fourteen hundred dollars an ounce.
But people keep buying. Neang Chan Nuon is a gold shop owner in the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh.
NEANG CHAN NUON: "Some of my customers have even bought more as they believe the price will probably go higher. I sell more gold at these higher prices."
Some people are "gold bugs." These are investors who say people should buy gold to protect against inflation.
People have valued gold for thousands of years. The soft, dense metal polish es to a bright yellow shine and resist s most chemical reactions. It makes a good material for money, political power -- and, more recently, electrical power. If you own a device like a mobile phone or a computer, you might own a little gold in the wiring.
The gold standard was the subject of one of the best-known speeches in American political history. It took place at the eighteen ninety-six Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
William Jennings Bryan wanted the country to use both gold and silver as money. The idea was to devalue the dollar and make it easier for farmers pay their debts. Here is Bryan reading his speech much later, in nineteen twenty-one.
WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN: "You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns. You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold."
The speech made William Jennings Bryan famous. He was a presidential candidate three times. But he never won.
And that's the VOA Special English Economics Report, written by Mario Ritter. I'm Steve Ember.
