楼上的很强，我连watts都没听出来，晕死，不过那个tart?应该是tar,可能是抹黑色的煤焦油的意思，引申指丑闻涂上污点，NCE－4里面的the early animal of the world 这一课有tar-pit这个词····

Original:

The Tour de France ended Sunday with 24-year-old Spaniard Alberto Contador taking home the yellow jersey. The doping scandals tart? the race which is a shame because what clean riders do is superhuman. They cover, end quickly（瞎猜的）2200 miles in 20 days over mountains（拼写）. Contador spent 90 hours in the saddle during the race. The other 140 cyclists who finished spent even more time riding because they were slower. And according to researchers at the （多一个the）Pennington BiomedicalResearchCenterinBaton Rouge, the riders needed more than 20 million calories to complete the course. To put that in perspective, 20 million calories is what’s in about 72,000 cheeseburgers. That works out to the equivalent of about 25 cheeseburgers per rider per day. When they are on the road, each tour rider generates somewhere between 250 and 350 watts. If all that power could be captured, the one million people lining the course everyday to watch the ？（听不出来）speed by could probably run all their iPods and radios of the cyclists’ output, plus have enough left over to cook up a cheeseburger of their own.

Note: Off is often used in spoken English to mean from. An even more informal usage is “off of”. Both are frequently used by native speakers.

The Tour de France ended Sunday with 24-year-old Spaniard Alberto Contador taking home the yellow jersey. The doping scandels tarred the race, which is a shame, because what clean riders do is superhuman. They cover and quickly 2,200 miles in 20 days over mountains. Contador spent 19 hours in the saddle during the race. The other 140 cyclists who finish spent even more time riding, because they were slower. And according to researchers at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, the riders needed more than 20 million calories to complete the course. To put that in perspective, 20 million calories is what's in about 72,000 cheeseburgers. That works out to the equivalent of about 25 cheeseburgers per rider per day. When they were on the road, each Tour-rider generates somewhere between 250 and 350 watts. If all that power could be captured, the one million people lining the course everyday to watch the peloton speed by could probablely run all their iPods and radioes off the cyclists' output plus have enough left over to cook up a cheeseburger of their own.

我还是觉得这句有问题。cover应该是过去时比较正确。有副词修饰动词加and的说法吗？比如：
He smiled, and happily to her. 想想也有问题。

:)   Good questions!

Here Steve was referring to the race in general; he was not talking about the particular race that had just finished. Therefore, cover was what he said, which was correct.

“And quickly” was thrown in kind of like an afterthought, or as an emphasis. Did you notice the pause before the “and”? You should see this collocation “and xxx” very often in spoken English if you pay attention.

Programs that encourage only abstinence from sex do not lower the risk of HIV infections in the United States. That's the conclusion of overview published by the University of Oxford researchers in the August 4th issue of the British Medical Journal. Currently, a third of all the HIV prevention funding under the US's emergency plan for AIDS relief goes to abstinence-only programs which limits funding available for other safer sex initiatives. The Oxford researchers review 13 US-based trials that examined over 15,000 subjects. The data suggests that abstinence-only programs didn't prevent sex or decrease frequency for those already having sex, nor did the programs lower the incidence of unprotective sex. An accompanying editorial in the British Medical Journal notes that programs that promote condom use have been shown to lower the risk of HIV infection. The US Senate has already agreed to spend another 141 million dollars on abstinence-only programs. Prediction in new study will probably not change that appropriation, though expect programs based on ideology to be affected by scientific findings.
