听力原文:M: Is this the time to get that great new job? Is this the time to sell or buy a new home? Well our financial contributor Mellody Hobson has consulted all the experts including herself and she's got some answers this morning, Mellody, Good morning.
W: Good morning.
M: All right, houses. Is it the time to buy or sell a house?
W: Well, actually, housing looks like it's going to be a bust. The housing sales for this month were down 1.7%. That's the second month in a row. And the markets headed for a correction or a drop in prices. And it's important to know that mortgage rates have been up, so that's one of the big reasons that it's slowing down buying. And on top of that the other big indicator mortgage applications are down. Actually last week mortgage applications hit a three-and-a-half-year low. So what does all this mean? If you are a buyer, I think you are gonna find some bargains out there.
M: Ok! It is puzzled to both then by the middle of the year you really find bargains. All right, your jobs, is this gonna be the year to look for a new job because they're gonna be available or is this a year in which more people again will get laid off.
W: This is good news on the job front, in November 215,000 jobs were added, that's up from 44,000 in October. December looks good. Companies out there say they're planning to hire in the first quarter of this year and there are still jobs shortages in certain areas like finance, health care and construction.

听力原文: The key question for any only child is this: Why were you an only child? It's a key question for at least two reasons. If your parents had wanted several children, but could have you only, they are most likely to pour into you all the energy and attention that had been intended for several children. I call this the "Special Jewel" phenomenon. Only children, or special jewels often arrive when their parents are older-- usually in their thirties. These special jewels can become very spoiled and serf - centered. On the other hand, you may be an only child be cause your parents planned for only one and stuck to their plan. Your parents may give you a very strict and well-structured education to make you a little adult. Many only children grow up feeling unhappy because they always had to be such little adults.
(33)
A.Those who are themselves spoiled and self-centered.
B.Those who expected to have several children but could only have one.
C.Those who like to give expensive jewels to their children.

听力原文:W: You read this? A couple that couldn't have a baby cloned the husband, and the wife is now in the family way!
M: Oh, you mean the wife is going to give birth to her husband?
W: Right. The child will be born in two months and the couple won't feel sad about having no children! How great!
M: But isn't that strange? How could the father face another self! You see, they'll look exactly the same! And if they had decided to clone the wife, she'd be giving birth to herself!
W: Well, isn't it charming to live your own life again? I think human cloning is beneficial in many ways, such as providing remedies for new incurable diseases, prolonging one's life, and so on.
M: That's very good, but what'll be the relationship between the parents and their cloned copy? What responsibilities should people take for their own clone? And what if the child falls in love with his own mother one day? As I see it, human cloning is unethical and must be prohibited!
W: Well, maybe human cloning still has a long way to go, or, maybe, the couple would be better of adopting a child.
Who has the couple cloned?
A.The wife.
B.The husband.
C.The baby.
D.A sheep.

听力原文:A: Good Evening! Everyone, this is Bizchina. Today’s guest is Eric Finucane from SilverMark Inc. Design & Build. He is on phone right now!
B: Good Evening! Everybody!
A: Eric! We knew you are working in a very successful, multi-million dollar company, could you tell us why this company becomes so successful?
B: Well, I think its success down to corporate culture. This culture is something that's been in place for some time. We're involved in basically every major decision within the company — from setting client expectations to implementing a new dust protection system. As production coordinator, I get to know our customers well, so it was a natural for me to volunteer to call past clients. I loved it and got immediate results.
A:Could you tell us more?
B: We also organize anti-bureaucrat weeks, where all the managers have to work in the store showrooms, warehouses or restaurants for at least one week a year.
A: So, that really makes SilverMark Inc. Design & Build a fascinating place to work for.
You will hear two people talking about corporate culture of company.
Name of programme: (5)______
Eric Finucane works as (6)______ in the company.

听力原文:M: This is it. I know that it is smaller than you wanted, but it is one of the nicest apartments in the buildings.
W: Does it have three bedrooms?
M: No. There are two. The master bedroom is quite spacious though. Maybe you could let the children share the larger room, and you and your husband could use the smaller one.
W: I suppose I could do that.
M: A three-bedroom apartment will be difficult to find.
W: Yes, I know. Believe me, I have been looking for over a week. The few three-bedroom apartments that I have found are either extremely expensive or the owner won't allow children as tenants.
M: Well, the owner allows two children in this apartment complex.
W: Aren't you the owner?
M: No. I am the manager. I live here, too, on the first floor of this building.
W: Oh. That's nice. Then if anything gets broken...
M: Just leave a note on my door.
W: You said that the rent would be 350 dollars a month. Does that include any of the utilities?
M: Yes. It includes gas. Your furnace and stove axe gas, so, as you can imagine, your other utilities, electric and water, are quite inexpensive.
W: This sounds better and better. But before I sign a lease I would like my husband to see it.
M: Why not stop by with him this evening?
W: How late are you open? He doesn't get off work until five.
M: Come by at six. I will still be in the office. I am sure that you are eager to move from the hotel, and if we get the paper work out of the way tonight, you can move in tomorrow.
W: Oh, that would be wonderful.
(23)
A.The woman's husband.
B.The owner of the apartment.
C.The apartment manager.
