Compare the two English versions of 《天净沙·秋思》....

Even for overachievers who are used to multitasking, the idea of watching two versions of the same television show at the same time—one on television and one on a computer—is something that is probably foreign to most people over the age of 30. To the eternally young brains that nm MTV, however, it is the next step in reshaping their business.

Beginning this summer with the MTV Video Music Awards and continuing in the fall with the cable channel's live afternoon program, "Total Request Live", MTV will offer two simultaneous versions of each show, one on television and another, focusing on a behind-the-scenes narrative, on its broadband channel, MTV Overdrive.

"We do tons of research on our audience, and it shows that they are instant messaging and listening to music and watching TV all at the same time", said Christina Norman, president of MTV. "We've definitely seen them become more adept at navigating through multiple media. They live comfortably in several worlds at once".

The Overdrive component, located at mtv.com, will feature a sort of video digression that will continue to stream live while the television show is broadcasting commercials. For example, if a viewer wants to watch an entire music video after a snippet is shown on the "Total Request Live" video countdown, or take a backstage tour with Jamie Foxx after he finishes his onstage appearance on the set of "T.R.L". (as the show is familiarly known), Overdrive will be the place to turn.

"Doing three things at once when you're 19 years old is not hard", said Dave Sirulnick, an executive vice president at MTV who oversees multiplatform. production, news and music.

Last Thursday at MTV's studios in Times Square, Mr. Sirulnick proved adept at doing at least two things at once, dashing between two control rooms that were steps away from each other just down the hallway from the "T.R.L" set.

It was the second test-run of simultaneous production, and in each control room-one for Overdrive, one for "T.R.L".—separate sets of directors and producers guided cameramen and the show's hosts, known as V. J.'s, through their paces.

"No one that we know has done a live stream of a different signal of an existing show". Mr. Sirulnick said. "It's a live parallel experience, one that very quickly turns into an on-demand experiment" with portions of each show archived and kept on the Overdrive site for fans to replay at will.

Compare the fllowing two Materials samples and judge which version is better. State in what ways the better version is more acceptable in academic writing. A. This research was performed in Rome. A number of consecutive positive blood cultures obtained from patients were included in this study. 28 blood samples were collected and inoculated in BD BACTECTM Plus Aerobic/F culture vials and incubated in the automated system BD BACTECTM FX, whereas 42 samples were collected and inoculated in Oxoid Signal Blood Culture System Medium (OXOID S.p.A). Only monomicrobial cultures were selected. B. This research was performed at the Laboratory of Microbiology of “Umberto I” Hospital in Rome. A total of 70 consecutive positive blood cultures, obtained from patients of the Department of “Anesthesiology and Intensive Care” and “Internal Medicine” of the same hospital in the period from April to September 2015, were included in this study. 28 blood samples were collected and inoculated in BD BACTECTM Plus Aerobic/F culture vials and incubated in the automated system BD BACTECTM FX, whereas 42 samples were collected and inoculated in Oxoid Signal Blood Culture System Medium (OXOID S.p.A). Only monomicrobial cultures were selected.

Two hours from the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia live some of the world’s largest black bears. They are in northern Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife. The streams, lakes, meadows (草地), mountain ridges and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats (栖息地) are endangered by highway construction. To protect the Poconos natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy (大自然保护协会) named the area one of America’s “Last Great Places”. Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennsylvania, the conservancy’s bud Cook is working with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By forging partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area. Altemose’s family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two years ago Francis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program. As a result, his family’s land can be protected from development and the Altemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson. Cook attributes the Conservancy’s success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents “The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community,” Cook said. “The people who live there respect the land. They value quiet forests, clear streams and abundant wildlife. They are eager to help with conservation effort.
