　　Questions 6 to 10

　　【原文】

　　Washington

　　The United States yesterday backed NATO’s expansion while the Senate voting unanimously to add seven Eastern European nations to the military alliance. With a number of NATO ministers in the chamber, the US Senate voted 96 to 0 to add Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Romania to the bloc. The NATO ministers were to meet US president George W. Bush later yesterday local time at a White House Rose Garden ceremony. The US House of Representatives does not have to vote on the protocol. So far, Canada and Norway are the only other countries to ratify the expansion, which must be approved by all member nations.

　　Tokyo

　　North Korea will be among the top issues for discussion when the Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi meets US president George W. Bush later this month, a top Japanese official said yesterday. Naturally North Korea and Iraq will be topics of discussion, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yasuo Fukudo told a news conference. At the news conference, Fukudo said the two would meet on May 23rd at Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas, a nod to Japan’s staunch diplomatic support for the U.S. in the recent war in Iraq.

　　Gaza

　　Israeli soldiers in the Gaza Strip shot dead a Palestinian in traditional Arab dress as he approached a checkpoint outside a Jewish settlement yesterday in the newest violence ahead of a U.S push for Middle East peace. Israeli military sources said the Palestinian entered the security zone set up to protect the Jewish settlement and ignored both calls to halt and warning shots fired in the air. Also on Thursday a twenty-three-year-old Palestinian woman died of wounds sustained last month, when she was shot by Israeli soldiers as she harvested crops with her daughter, Palestinian medics said.

　　Moscow

　　Russia will not give NASA access to its investigation into the uncontrolled landing last weekend of Russian’s Soyuz craft, carrying two US astronauts and a Russian cosmonaut, the inquiry chief said yesterday. Nicolai Zelanchkov told Itar-Tass News Agency that no US experts had been invited to take part in the inquiry, as that will create difficulties in the work. He did not elaborate but recalled that NASA has not invited Russian experts to investigate the reasons of the Columbia shuttle crash.

　　Budapest

　　At least 31 people were killed yesterday when a train plowed into a German tourist coach in Central Hungary and sliced it into half, police said. Police spokesman Lazlo Galenza said the coach was hit by the Budapest-to-Nagykanizsa passenger train just after 8:30 am, as it crossed a railway line near Siofok on the shores of Lake Balaton, Hungary’s leading tourist area. He confirmed that at least 27 people on the bus have been killed and 11 seriously injured. There were no reports of serious injuries to passengers on the train. The scene is just horrible, he said. Tibro Dopson, head of Hungary’s National Disaster Department told Kraub Radio the death toll was at least 31. Galenza said it appeared that the double-decker coach had tried to cross the railway line even though hazardous lights had warned of an oncoming train. The bus was dragged about 150 meters down the track and torn in half by the collision.
