Morocco jails king insult blogger A Moroccan blogger has been jailed for two years for __0__ disrespect to the monarchy, say the man's family.

The report, Doing Business 2009, which measures how __2__ it is to do business in 189 countries, says that regulatory reform has gathered pace in the past five years, particularly in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

She cites survey research that shows that most people in poor countries want to __13__ start their own business or get a job in the formal sector to improve their condition. But, she adds, the lack of __14__ regulations, such as enforceable contract rights in courts, means that many small companies in developing countries are in the informal sector, where they lack __15__ legal rights. This makes it hard for them to expand or get access to bank loans, and that in turn limits the number of workers they could hire.

3. Írott szöveg értése 1 A következő feladatban két szöveget talál. Olvassa el az első szöveget, majd ennek alapján értelemszerűen egészítse ki annak rövid összefoglalását (a második szöveget), amelyből néhány információt kihagytunk. Minden zárójelbe tett sorszám után annyi szót kell beírni, amennyi vonalat az adott helyen talál. A rövid összefoglalást ki lehet egészíteni az első szövegben szereplő, illetve az abban nem szereplő, de értelemszerűen odaillő szavakkal is. A feladat megoldásához szótárt nem használhat. Első szöveg: Lewes launches its own currency An East Sussex town is introducing its own currency in an effort to encourage shoppers to support the local economy. The Lewes Pound works like a voucher, with one Lewes pound note worth the same as a pound sterling. Up to 10,000 notes have been printed. The currency will be accepted in local participating stores and can be bought in four outlets in the town. More than 70 local traders have agreed to accept the Lewes Pound as a complementary currency to sterling. The town had its own currency between 1789 and 1895. The current scheme will run until next August, when a review will be held to determine whether it should continue. Lewes Mayor Michael Chartier, who officially launching the local pound, said: "The idea behind it is to encourage as many local people as possible to shop locally. "Lewes has a tradition of small shops and hasn't got a large number of major chain stores that a lot of other towns have. "And it has traditionally been the small shops that have given Lewes its unique appeal." The Lewes Pound, which was drawn up by Transition Town Lewes (TTL) and is made up of local residents whose aim is to campaign for a more self-sufficient community. One supporter of the new currency, Oliver Dudok van Heel, said: "It is a way of supporting the local economy by creating a bond between the shopkeepers and shoppers. "It is a very real relationship if you go into a local store where people know each other rather than going into Tescos, where it is a much more impersonal way of doing things." A similar currency was launched in Totnes, south Devon, last summer.

A feladat megoldásához szótárt nem használhat. Armstrong to make shock comeback Cycling legend Lance Armstrong is coming out of retirement to try to win an eighth Tour de France in 2009. The American, who will be 37 on 18 September, recovered from cancer and claimed victory in the Tour a record seven times before retiring in 2005. He said: "I'm happy to announce that after talking with my children, family and closest friends, I have decided to return to professional cycling. "It is in order to raise awareness of the global cancer burden." He added: "This year alone, nearly eight million people will die of cancer worldwide. It's now time to address cancer on a global level." Armstrong famously overcame an aggressive form of testicular cancer before embarking on his remarkable run of Tour de France victories. Since his retirement in 2005, he has run respectable times in the New York and Boston marathons but much of his energy has been spent running the Lance Armstrong Foundation, a charity dedicated to combating cancer. Armstrong had to return to the United States Anti-Doping Agency's (USADA) testing programme to compete in last month's Leadville Trail 100 mountain bike race in Colorado. He finished a creditable second in the tough event, to show he remains in good shape but the Texan is unlikely to settle for that at next year's Tour. Armstrong will announce details of his team and pre-Tour racing schedule on 24 September at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York City. "I think it's great," said Armstrong's former team-mate George Hincapie. "Without Lance, half the teams in the Tour probably wouldn't be around. He's done more than anyone for the sport especially in America and around the world." Armstrong gave more detail of his return in an interview with American magazine Vanity Fair's website VF.com. He appears to have been inspired by some of the older competitors at the 2008 Olympics, as well as what he believes was a slow pace of this year's Tour de France. "Look at the Olympics," said Armstrong, who gave the interview to the website over three days in late August. "You have a swimmer like Dara Torres, who claimed silver. Even in the 50m freestyle, a 41year-old mother proved you can do it. "Constantina Tomescu-Dita won the marathon and she was 38. "Older athletes are performing very well. Ask serious sports physiologists and they'll tell you age is a wives' tale. "I'm not going to lie. My back gets tired quicker than it used to and I get out of bed a little slower than I used to. "But when I'm on the bike I feel just as good as I did before." Nevertheless, Armstrong will have to buck a clear historical trend if he is to win a remarkable eighth Tour title, with only the 36-year-old Firmin Lambot - back in 1922 - winning the Tour beyond the age of 34.

During his career, many other riders were caught doping but Armstrong has never tested positive and has always maintained he was a clean rider, using hundreds of passed drug tests during his career as proof. In 2006, an independent investigation by the International Cycling Union cleared Armstrong of any doping in his first Tour victory. "There's this perception in cycling that this generation is now the cleanest generation we've had in decades, if not forever," said Armstrong. "And the generation that I raced with was the dirty generation. "I'll be totally honest with you. The year that I won the Tour, many of the guys that finished second through to 10th are gone. Out. Caught. Positive tests. Suspended. Whatever. "And so I can understand why people look at that and go, 'well, they were caught - and you weren't?' "So there is a nice element here where I can come with really a completely comprehensive program and there will be no way to cheat." Armstrong has also hit the headlines and gossip columns for his private life since divorcing his wife Kristin, the mother of his three children, with high-profile relationships with singer Sheryl Crow, fashion designer Tory Burch and actress Kate Hudson. 1.

Bloggers offer an alternative view to the news we are being fed by the rest of the media. A media owned by the rich or, in case of the BBC, silenced by the powerful. Blogs are like people, they have different opinions. If you don't like the opinion of one blog, go to another one. The only people who want to silence blogs are those who don't like some straight talking about their activities. If you silence the blogs, you're introducing Big Brother to the internet.
