2. Abroad New Doubts about America's Top Carmaker Local Funny Cool Stuff Weather Forecast The Swimming Oranges and the Floating Bananas Tofu Scandal in Nanjing University
3. About America's Top Carmaker In an annual report released Thursday, GM auditors raised "substantial doubt" about the automaker's ability to continue operations, raising further concerns that even a government bailout won't save them.
4. Auditors for General Motors say they have "substantial doubt" the corporation can continue operations, citing massive losses and insufficient cash flows among a long list of concerns. Since late last year, the federal government has lent tens of billions of dollars to carmakers in return for promises of an aggressive effort to trim costs, restructure operations, and lay the foundation for an eventual return to profitability. But now those plans appear to be in peril.
5. Automobile industry officials say they worry that filing for bankruptcy would drive away customers. Millions of American jobs are tied directly or indirectly to the car industry. General Motors lost more than $30 billion last year, and a total of more than $80 billion over the last three years. GM has received $13 billion in emergency federal loans in recent months and hopes to obtain billions more. Last month, the company announced a plan to eliminate tens of thousands of jobs and close several factories. GM says failure to achieve significant cost savings would force it into bankruptcy.
6. If automakers are hoping for a quick economic rebound to boost their chances of survival, the latest numbers do not look promising. More than 600,000 Americans filed for unemployment benefits last week, bringing the total number of people on the jobless rolls to 6.5 million, more than double the number that existed a year ago. But some question whether GM can survive no matter what it does, given the current economic climate.
7. Separately, U.S. factory orders as well as retail sales fell last month. "These are the worst set of numbers since the fall of 1982. They will get better, probably by the end of this year, but in the meantime they are going to get a lot worse," said Nariman Behravesh, Global Insight chief economist.
8. In Nanjing University “ Tofu Gate” was first reported by local newspapers on Mar. 3 that there’s a tofu workshop making adulterated tofu and selling them to several markets and Nanjing University.

As they claimed, after getting this information, they immediately ceased the contract with the supplier who purchased tofu from the workshop referred above and replaced it with HuaSheng Food Incorporation, one of the biggest food companies in this region. Though NJU has committed its authoritative statement, there remain different opinions among students on the campus.
9. B: Honestly, I feel shame on what they’ve done. They pull us into danger but no apology is shown in this announcement at all. It is not over and it should not be over.

But after viewing the statement made by Logistic Department, I think they’ve done what they should do. Anyway, it’s a good to start to see it.
