Zaha Hadid Wins Pritzker Architecture Prize
For the first time in its 25-year history, the coveted Pritzker Architecture Prize has been won by a woman, a Baghdad-born designer whose relatively small collection of Modernist works has vaulted her into the top league of a profession dominated by men.
Zaha Hadid, who is based in London, becomes only the third Briton to win what is sometimes de-scribed as the architecture world's equivalent of the Nobel Prize, organizers said on Sunday. At 53, she is also one of the youngest Pritzker laureates.
Hadid's built works include a fire station in Weilam Rhein, Germany, a car park in Strasbourg, France and a ski jump in Innsbruck, Austria. While seemingly quotidian in nature, these works showcase her bold use of space and geometry to mirror the complexity of urban living.
Her sole completed U.S. project, the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati, opened last year. Hailed as an "urban oasis" by The New York Times, the eight-story comer structure looks like a collection of interlocking boxes perched delicately above the glass-enclosed downtown entrance.
Somewhat controversially, Hadid does not have any completed projects in the capital city of her adopted country. Indeed, her career has been marked by several highprofile setbacks. Most notably, political infighting scuppered her radical design for the Cardiff Bay Opera House in Wales in 1995, an episode that turned her into frontpage news in Britain.
In an interview with Reuters, Hadid said she has been stigmatized in Britain, where her firm wins plenty of competitions, such as the Cardiff Bay project, but rarely sees them turned into reality because of "dodgy" roles that allow the organizers to take a different course.
The citation from the Pritzker jury said Hadid's path to worldwide recognition has been a "heroic struggle." In an additional comment, Jury chairman Lord Rothschild referred to "the forces of conservatism'' for her inability to complete a building in London.
The Pritzker Prize was established in 1979 by the Pritzker family, the Chicago-based clan that owns the Hyatt hotel chain, as a means of honoring a living architect whose built works, among other things, produce "consistent and significant contributions to humanity."
The inaugural winner was Philip Johnson, the first of seven American honorees. The other British winners were James Stirling in 1981 and Lord Foster in 1999. Last year's winner was Jan Utzon, the Danish designer of the Sydney Opera House.
The prize, consisting of a bronze medallion and a ＄ 100,000 check is handed out at a different location each year. The ceremony for Hadid will take place at the State Hermitage Museum in St. Peters burg, Russia on May 31.
While the British establishment may be slow to embrace Hadid's radical stylings, she has plenty of fans in other parts of the world. In the United States, she is working on the Price Tower Arts Center, to be built in the shadow of Frank Lloyd Wright's 19story building in Bartlesville, Okla. Hadid is also one of the five finalists—and the sole Briton—selected to design the proposed 2012 Olympic Village in New York City.
In Europe, current projects include the main building for a new BMW plant in the German city of Leipzig, and the MAXXI contemporary arts center in Rome. Asian developments include a Guggenheim museum in Taiwan and an opera house in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou.
One part of the world where she has yet to leave her mark is Baghdad, which boasted examples of several early Modernist projects when she was growing up.
"I think it would be nice to do something there eventually, only because it's actually a rather nice city," Hadid said, noting that things may have changed a little in the 24 years since she was last ther

"Lucky" Lord Lucan —— Alive or Dead ？
On 8th November 1974 Lord Lucan, a British aristocrat (贵族), vanished. The day before, his children&39;s nanny had been brutally murdered and his wife had been attacked too. To this day the British public are still interested in the murder case because Lucan has never been found. Now,over 30 years later, the police have reopened the case, hoping that new DNA techniques will help solve this murder mystery.＜br＞
People suspected that "lucky", as he was called by friends, wanted to kill his wife he no longer lived with. They say that Lucan entered his old house and in the dark, killed the nanny by mistake.＜br＞
His estranged (分居的) wife heard noises, came downstairs and was also attacked, but managed to escape. Seven months after the murder, a jury concluded that Lucan had killed the nanny.＜br＞
What happened next is unclear, but there are several theories which fall into one of three categories: he may have killed himself, he could have escaped or he might have been killed. It appears that the night after the murder, "lucky" borrowed a car and drove it. Lucan&39;s friend Aspinall said in an interview that he thought Lucan had committed suicide by sinking his boat in the English Channel.＜br＞
Another version of events says that "lucky" left the blood-soaked car on the coast and took a ferry to France. He was met there by someone who drove him to safety in another country.＜br＞
However, after a time, his rescuers became worried that they would become involved in the murder too and so Lucan was killed.＜br＞
A further fascinating theory was made in the book Dead Lucky by Duncan Maclaughlin, a former detective. He believes that Lucan travelled to Goa, India, where he assumed the identity of a Mr. Barry Haplin. Lucan then lived in Goa till his death in 1996. In the end the claim turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. The man who died in 1996 was really Haplin, an ex-schoolteacher turned hippy. So what is the truth about "lucky"？ DNA testing has solved many murder cases, but who knows if it can close the book on this one.
The British public are still interested in the murder case because__________. 查看材料
A.the murder was a aristocrat.
B.the murder"s DNA has been found.
C.the murder was a famous man
D.the murder has not been caught.
Mr Blair hailed the capital's "brilliant" bid to host the games and said the event would provide a "wonderful legacy" for British sport.
He was addressing a reception at the High Commissioner's residence in Singapore, attended by a glittering array of sporting stars led by David and Victoria Beckham.
Mr Blair, speaking alongside Lord Coe and his bid team, told guests: "We are very proud of our country and we feel we can make the Olympic movement proud of this bid as well."
Dignitaries at the event included the Princess Royal, Sir Steve Redgrave, Daley Thompson, Jonathan Edwards, Sir Matthew Pinsent, Denise Lewis, David Hemery. Tanni Grey-Thompson and Sir Bobby Charlton.
French officials were earlier angered by critical comments about the centrepiece Paris stadium— the Stade de France — made by two Australian consultants to the London bid.
Jim Sloman, the former chief operating officer of the Sydney Games, and architect Rod Sheard, had claimed at a press conference that the arena was not ideal for athletics, prompting anger from the Paris bid team.
Though the French team decided not to make an official complaint, relations have been further strained following comments said to have been made by French President Jacques Chirac.
Speaking ahead of the G8 conference in Scotland, the politician reportedly told German and Russian leaders that all Britain has ever done for European agriculture is "mad cow". He is also quoted as telling diplomats: "We can't trust people who have such bad food."
Mr Blair, who is due to head off to the G8 summit in Scotland before Wednesday's International Olympic Committee vote, refused to trade barbs with French president Jacques Chirac.
What does "the event" in paragraph two refer to？
A．London's bid.
B．London hosts the 2012 Olympics.
C．The 2012 Olympics.
D．None of the above.
Dancing in the Streets
If there is one thing certain to get Brazilians on their feet, it is the Rio Carnival (狂欢节). Held in Rio de Janeiro, the country's biggest city, the carnival began on February 20 when the mayor gave key of the city to Rei Momo-the Lord of Misrule (无序之皇)
On his orders, each year people turn the city into a paradise of dance and music. The following six days are so fun of parades, street dancing, fantastic clothes and partying (聚会) that many people forget about eating and sleeping.
"It was the passion of the carnival that attracted me to Brazil and made me settle down in Rio. " said Bob Nadkarni, a British man who has lived in the city for several years. For many Brazilians, the centerpiece of the carnival is samba (桑巴舞) , a typical Brazilian dance. Every year, tens of thousands of visitors and locals show off their passion and energy in the streets, following the beat (节拍) of the Latin music.
The climax to this street party is the float(彩车) parade, in which floats decorated with tons of fresh flowers by various samba schools and local communities move through the city. On the top of each float stands the candidate for the Drum Queen, who is chosen at the end of the party.
While most people are free to enjoy the celebrations. Rio's police officers have to keep a clear head. Following the murder of three officers in a gunfight early last week, the Brazilian Government has tightened security in Rio. The street fighting, robbery and sex crimes that accompany the carnival are very difficult to police.
Carnivals began in ancient Rome as a celebration at which people fed wild wolves, in honor of the city's founder who was said to have been raised by a she-wolf. Brazil gave new life to this tradition and so despite the troubles, the carnival will remain a symbol of the country's culture.
According to the passage, during the Carnival people in Rio did all of the following EXCEPT
A．dancing in the streets.
B．putting on colorful clothes.
C．eating a lot of food
D．holding exciting parades.
