听力原文:M: I suppose you must have heard about that great piece of concrete falling onto a car in that terrible accident in South Street yesterday, didn't you, Jane?
W: Yes, I saw it in the paper. From a 200-foot high building, wasn't it? I gather the driver had just got out or he'd have been killed, wouldn't he?
M: Oh, yes. I saw the car; it was totally damaged.
W: You usually park your car around there, don't you, Bill?
M: Yes, I left it in that very spot a couple of days ago, but yesterday it was parked up the road.
W: You were lucky then, weren't you, Bill?
M: Out of luck, you mean! I'd be very pleased if my old ear were smashed to bits. I could claim from the insurance company then, couldn't I?
W: But you used to be so proud of your car, weren't you?
M: I used to be years ago, but now there are all sorts of repairs to be done, and I just haven't got enough spare cash to put it right.
W: You can always sell it, can't you?
M: Few people are stupid enough to buy a car in that state, are they?
W: The man whose car was crushed yesterday was very annoyed about it. He'll be given a new car by the builders, though.
M: Yes, but his car was a specially-built model that can't be replaced, and there was hardly anything wrong with it, was there?
W: Well, that's life! When people actually want to get rid of their cars, this sort of thing seldom happens, does it?

Soon after his appointment as secretary-general of the United Nations in 1997, Kofi Annan lamented that he was being accused of failing to reform. the world body in six weeks. "But what are you complaining about?" asked the Russian ambassador: "You've had more time than God." Ah, Mr. Annan quipped back, "but God had one big advantage. He worked alone without a General Assembly, a Security Council and [all] the committees."
Recounting that anecdote to journalists in New York this week, Mr. Annan sought to explain why a draft declaration on UN reform. and tackling world poverty, due to be endorsed by some 150 heads of state and government at a world summit in the city on September 14th16th, had turned into such a pale shadow of the proposals that he himself had put forward in March. "With 191 member states", he sighed, "it's not easy to get an agreement."
Most countries put the blame on the United States, in the form. of its abrasive new ambassador, John Bolton, for insisting at the end of August on hundreds of last minute amendments and a line-by-line renegotiation of a text most others had thought was almost settled. But a group of middle-income developing nations, including Pakistan, Cuba, Iran, Egypt, Syria and Venezuela, also came up with plenty of last-minute changes of their own. The risk of having no document at all, and thus nothing for the world's leaders to come to New York for, was averted only by marathon all-night and all-weekend talks.
The 35-page final document is not wholly devoid of substance. It calls for the creation of a Peacebuilding Commission to supervise the reconstruction of countries after wars; the replacement of the discredited UN Commission on Human Rights by a supposedly tougher Human Rights Council; the recognition of a new "responsibility to protect" peoples from genocide and other atrocities when national authorities fail to take action, including, if necessary, by force; and an "early" reform. of the Security Council. Although much pared down, all these proposals have at least survived.
Others have not. Either they proved so contentious that they were omitted altogether, such as the sections on disarmament and non-proliferation and the International Criminal Court, or they were watered down to little more than empty platitudes. The important section on collective security and the use of force no longer even mentions the vexed issue of pre-emptive strikes; meanwhile the section on terrorism condemns it "in all its forms and manifestations, committed by whomever, wherever and for whatever purposes", but fails to provide the clear definition the Americans wanted.
Both Mr. Annan and, more surprisingly, George Bush have nevertheless sought to put a good face on things, with Mr. Annan describing the summit document as "an important step forward" and Mr. Bush saying the UN had taken "the first steps" towards reform. Mr. Annan and Mr. Bolton are determined to go a lot further. It is now up to the General Assembly to flesh out the document's skeleton proposals and propose new ones. But its chances of success appear slim.
Who have recently listened to the story in the first paragraph of the text?
A.Ambassadors.
B.UN officials.
C.The world's leaders.
D.Reporters.

Mrs. Keller had a big family. Her husband had a factory in the town. One of her sons was a lawyer and the other two were drivers. And her two daughters worked in the post office. The old woman stayed at home and could do all housework and wouldn't employ anybody.

听力原文: In some countries, taking lots of days off work sick would get you fired and the idea of offering prizes for good attendance would be little more than a joke. But absenteeism has become a big problem in Britain, where the employment laws offer protection to sick workers, but do not enable employers to distinguish between the genuinely iii and those who are pretending.
When the Royal Mail announced a scheme to enter reliable workers into a prize draw, it was greeted with some skepticism. But one year on, the company has proclaimed it a success. Thirty-seven Royal Mail workers have won a car for good attendance.
Absenteeism in Britain ______.
A.is now a big problem
B.could lead to dismiss of the staff
C.is not so serious as before
D.is protected by the employment laws

Building a house costs quite a lot of money. Suppose you plan to build a house. Your first step is to find a right piece of land. Your choice(选择) will depend on many different things. You will probably try to find a sunny place with pleasant surroundings(环境) near shops and bus stops not too far from your friends and the place where you work.
Next you will find a good builder and together with the builder you will work out a plan. The builder will draw the plan. It will show the number of rooms their position and size and other parts such as windows doors and electric outlets(电插座). The builder will work out how much money is needed to build your house. He will work out the cost of the wood bricks the glass and everything else that must be used in building the house. Later on when he starts to build this estimate(预算) must be corrected and revised(修订). His estimate is based on existing prices but prices of such things may change and many other things may happen between the time when he makes the estimate and the time when he builds the house.
When the builder gives his estimate you may wish to change your plan. (You may also wish to change your builder if his estimate is too high!) You may find that the house you wanted at first costs too much or that you can spend a little more and add something to your plan. The builder&39;s estimate depends on the plan but the final plan depends on the builder&39;s estimate.
