And our industrial expert here for us today is Matthew Flanigan, President of the Telecommunications Industry Association. Matt, many thanks. Welcome to the program. What are some of the key issues that we're still grapping with when trying to maximize the Internet's sufficiency？

W: Yes... Oh, but do we have to？ M: Well, I think it's interesting. And I think our listeners will find it interesting, too. I mean, you didn't become a big star overnight. You struggled for many years. W: You can say that again. M: Tell us a little about it. W: Oh, yes. I think I must have worked twenty or thirty different jobs. M: Really？ W: Sure! I couldn't find work as an actress for many years, so I had to do something. You have to eat, right？ M: What kind of jobs did you have？ W: A little bit of everything: I worked as a waitress, in a department store, painting houses... I think I got fired from most of those stores. M: Oh, yeah？ Come on, tell us a few stories. W: This is so embarrassing... Well, I remember I worked for a big department store in the hats department. It was so boring. We never had any customers during the day, and that's when I worked. When I got sleepy, I used to lie down under the hat racks and take an occasional nap. M: What happened？ W: Well, one day I got caught by my boss. And I got fired on the spot. Then there was the time I decided to paint house. It turned out that I was allergic to the paint. And my body was so sore after working the first day that I could hardly get out of the bed the next day. I couldn't take the physical work. I got fired again. M: Any other war stories？ W: Well... you are not going to believe this, but I actually drove a taxi for a few days. I got hired as a cab driver. M: No! You？ W: Yes. I was desperate and thought I could make good tips. I needed the money at the time. Unfortunately, it didn't lust. M: Fired？ W: Yes. How did you guess？ On my third day, I hit a pole. No one was hurt in the accident —my passenger was fine — but it scared me to death. That was the end of my career as a driver. M: Well, Stella, thank you for sharing those details with us. It's a good thing you made it as an actress! After the commercial break, we'll talk more with Stella about her new movie that's being released in September. (20) A．When she was working in a department store. B．When she was working for a painting house. C．When she was working in a taxi company. D．When she was working as an actress in Hollywood.

Well, at the beginning, I would like to say a few words to my dear listeners who are not very familiar with this program. Because many people want to listen to and understand pop songs, radio producers at BCD International have made hundreds of programs over the years. We not only have access to the stars of the music world, but we have a vast library of "golden oldish" Classics, as well as the "latest releases". For those of you who like a bit of background with your favorite music — there's The History of Pop or The Road to Music. These two series bring you the language of pop music and information about the periods and the artists. If you want to hear from the artists themselves ,there's a new series called About The Big Hits. This is based on interviews with popular singers and songwriters. They speak to us about the meaning and ideas behind their songs. If you want to understand the words to the big music hits, pop Words is the program for you. After all, it's hard enough for native English speakers to understand most pop songs — so, if English isn't your first language, you shouldn't be surprised ff the words to many songs leave you in the dark. It was to address exactly this problem that BCD International started broadcasting Pop Words just over 23 years ago... [ fade out] Which of the following is covered in BCD International programs？ A．Interviews with radio producers. B．A large variety of pop songs. C．News from the music library.

W. All right. M: Ah, ah. Would you like a cup of tea？ W. No, no, I'm fine. M. All right. W: Thanks. M. Well, could you describe the two people who robbed the bank for this report we're filling out here？ Now anything at all that you could remember would be extremely helpful to US. W. Well, just, I tell you I remember basically what I said before. M: That's all right. W: The man was tall, about six feet, and he had dark hair. M. Dark hair. W: And he had a mustache. M. Very good. All right. Did he have any other distinguishing marks, I mean, scars for example, anything like that？ W: Scars, no, none of that I can remember. M. Do you remember how old he was by any chance？ W. Eh, well, I, I guess around thirty. M. Around thirty. W. Maybe younger, give a take of a few years. M. All right. Do you remember anything about what he might be wearing？ W: Yes, he, he had on a dark sweater, solid color. You know, the kind of color young people fancy nowadays. M: Anything else that strikes you at the moment？ W: I, I remember he was wearing a light shirt under the sweater, a cotton one with dark, I think, dark stripes. It looks like a good brand. M: Ah, very good. W: Yes, yes. M. Mm, now, all right. Can you tell us anything about the woman robber, Mrs. Harrison？ W: Well, I remember that she did most of the talking. She had a gun pointed at us and she told us to lie down on the floor and not to move if we knew what was good for us. I, I remember I've just thought like she was pointing the gun right at me and my little daughter was sitting right next to me and she, she was just so frightened. M. Um, Mrs. Harrison, could you describe her for us？ W: She was wearing a wool sweater. M: Ah, very good. W: I remember it was a dark color, navy blue or dark gray. M: Dark gray？ W: And I guess she was in her late twenties. Her hair was short, very short and curly. M: Do you remember how tall she was？ W: Ah, about the same as myself, around five four. M: Five four. All right. Do you, uh, remember anything else about this woman？ W: Yes, I remember the woman was wearing a pendant or a locket around her neck. I remember it specifically because I was then near the counter next to the bank manager and my little daughter started to cry. M: Ah. W: And this woman came up and said: "Shut your damn kid up, lady!" So I got a good look at her and she was pulling on the chain and playing with it, a pendant. M: Oh？ W: It was gold, well, anyway, lookes like gold. And it had a strange shape. M: Mm, ah, now, did either of them have any other noticeable characteristics, Mrs. Harrison？ Now, just take a minute. W: Eh, no, I don't. M: Think about this. W: No, no, this is really all I can remember. M: Well, did either of them wear glasses？ W: No, no, I'm sure of that. M: All right, Mrs. Harrison. I really appreciate what you've been through today. I'm just going to ask you to look at some photographs before you leave if you don't mind. It won't take very long. Could you do that for me？ W: Ah, all right. M. Would you like to step this way with me, please？ W. OK, sure. M. Thank you. What strikes the woman most about the male robber is his A．clothes. B．age. C．physique. D．appearance.

M: Good morning, Cindy. W: Roberta, what exactly do time management consultants do？ M: Well, Cindy, it's all about helping people to organize their work in an ef fective way: maximum efficiency; minimum stress. W: Hah, sounds like something I need. Who are your clients？ M: Um, mainly business people, but I've also worked with politicians, civil servants and university lecturers. W: Um, quite a range, then. And what sort of things help people to organ ize their time？ I suppose punctuality is important. M: Um, yes and no. It's easier to finish a meeting on time if it starts on time. But in international contexts, you do have to be aware of cultural differences. W: For example？ M: Well, in Britain big, formal meetings usually start on time, but less for mal meetings often begin a few minutes late. In Germany, on the other hand, people expect all meetings to begin on time; In some countries, er, for example, in Latin America, there's a more relaxed attitude. So, you d6 have to adapt to circumstances. W: Um, it sounds like even if you manage your own time very well, you still can't control what other people do. M. Well, you can set limits. If you're meeting a friend who always arrives late, you can say, "Well, I'm going to wait for 15 minutes. If they aren't there by then, I'll leave," W: Hmm. I've got one friend who's always late. I don't think I'd ever see her if I did that. M: Hah, but people who are always late are the ones you need to set limits with. If they know that you won't wait, then, perhaps they'll make an effort. W: Isn't that rather harsh？ M: No, not really. Someone who constantly turns up late is putting a low value on your time. Let them know you've got other things to do. And I'm not suggesting you do that with everyone just the persistent latecomers. (20) A．To help people to organize their work in an effective way. B．To help people to become efficient at their jobs. C．To help people to arrange their time properly. D．To help people to reduce stress.

A．The weather． B．The newspaper． C．The whether． D．The rain．

(6) A．The check is out of date. B．The check is post-dated. C．The check is in too large amount. D．The check is a crossed one.

W: I guess it's something I haven't acquired a taste for yet. What does the man imply？ (18) A．He has no taste for art. B．He didn't go to the exhibition. C．He didn't like the paintings. D．The paintings are too abstract.

M: Thank you. As you can see, little by little, Americans are turning to solar power, tapping the strength of the sun for energy. W: Yeah, that's true. Sunlight has already been used for heating or cooling homes and office buildings in the sunny south. M: Experts say all signs point to the birth of the solar energy industry. Right now, an increasing number of companies are selling solar collector panels to heat and cool homes or to heat water. The glass and metal panels each cost from ＄100 to more than ＄500, and the three or four-bedroom home usually requires a dozen or more. They look like sandwiches. They are usually placed in rooftops. Nobody knows how many have been sold, and in addition, many people have built their own units. It has been estimated that solar power equipment will be a $1.3 billion industry by 1995, and more than a million homes will use sunlight for heat, air conditioning or to generate electricity, both in the cities and in countryside. W: Wow! That is really big business. What do we learn about the use of solar energy in the U. S. ？ A．It is very well established. B．It is relatively new. C．It is found in one million homes.

听力原文：Interviewer: With us today is Steve Thomas, a 23 year-old chef who delights TV audiences with his imaginative cooking programme. Steve, what's the secret of your success？ Steve: Well, I think I'm different from other TV chefs in that I want people to see how I prepare a dish from the word go, so I don't present them with a dish that's half prepared already. If anything should go wrong during the programme, know, suppose something gets burned, well, that's part of the experience. When they try preparing it themselves, then they'll see the beauty of the finished product, but not on the screen. Interviewer: So how did you come to get your own TV series？ Steve: I was working in a restaurant called the Gala in December last year when they came to make a documentary about the place. I didn't even look at the camera.I was too busy making pasta and cooking fish. But the producer spotted me and the following week they phoned me to offer me a job... The Gala owner wished me all the best and let me go without a complaint. Interviewer: Wow!! Now, is it true that you come from a family of cooks？ Steve: Well, you could say that ... I started cooking at the age of eight. My mum and dad have a restaurant and Dad used to do all the cooking back then. My mum was too busy looking after us ... Dad insisted that if I wanted some money, I should work for it. And it seemed a lot more interesting to help out in the kitchen and see how things were made than to earn my money washing Dad's car ... Interviewer: You attended a catering course at college. How did you like that？ Steve: At school I wasn't very good at anything much. At that time, my mind wasn't on anything other than cooking. I found sitting in a classroom trying to pay attention to things very very trying. I managed to get to college though and there I was fine, because when it came to the actual cooking, I knew what I was doing. I realised that a bit of academic work didn't do you any harm either and I found it much easier when I was interested in the subject, and so I've no regrets, really. Interviewer: And now you have a TV programme and several cooks working under your orders. How do you get on with them？ Steve: Oh, I love working with them. But on my programme everyone has to be really special. They need to have gone through college training before they even apply for the job. I suppose the problem is that fairly frequently I tend to raise my voice if they don't work emciently ... but I'm just as likely to praise them if they do well ... What I say to them is, you want the audience to say we are the best, so we need to make a special effort ... Interviewer: Is there any chef celebrity that you admire especially？ Steve: I definitely think that Ron Bell is the best, and I'm pleased that he's now got his own food column in a newspaper. I had the great privilege of working with him for a while. What's so special about him is that he's always been enthusiastic about using ingredients that come from the area where he works ... For example the fish of the day would be the catch from the river close to his restaurant. He's been criticised for sticking to old-fashioned recipes, maybe that's a weakness, but I think that's his decision ... Interviewer: I heard that you are also going to write a book. Steve: Yes, I’m writing it at the moment. It may disappoint readers who expect a lot of glossy pictures, as most cookbooks nowadays seem to be things to look at rather than read ... I've gone for a style. that may be less attractive with fewer colour pictures but it will be more useful for most types of reader. What I say in my book is that we must remember the success of a meal does not depend on how it looks ... it's what it tastes like and the company of the friends you'll share it with that matters ... Interviewer: Well, thank you, Steve, I look forward to trying some rec A．the process of cooking. B．amusing incidents. C．attractively presented dishes.

In the 1700s, height and weight became an important part of beauty. During the time of the French Revolution, many women used to wear corsets, belts that made their waists appear much slimmer. In England in the 1500s, makeup became an important part of beauty. Some women used to paint their .face white. They thought this made them more attractive. Later, in North America, some women used to eat arsenic, a dangerous poison, to make their faces whiter. By the 1860s, American women started using makeup to make themselves more charming. In the 1890s, Americans discovered that bicycle tiding could actually improve their appearance! They exercised in order to look and feel better. The popularity of bicycle riding even led to a change in fashion. American women began to wear shorter skirts instead of the. traditional long, full ones. Although diet and exercise are still popular ways of improving one's appearance, there are some parts of the body that cannot change without the help of a cosmetic surgeon. In the past, American women used to spend weeks repeating words that started with the "P" because they wanted to change the shape of their mouths. Today a cosmetic surgeon can reshape the nose or lips in a few hours. Rhinoplasty, the reshaping of nose, can greatly improve a person's image. Surprisingly, cosmetic surgery has been used for centuries in China and India. Today it is used in many countries to improve the outlook of people who have been hurt in fires or in car accidents It is also used to improve the appearance of children who are born with physical problem.

M: I don't think so, but returning back home was really hard. W: Why？ M: Well, for many students, returning back to their home countries can be a very confusing experience. W: Re-entry Shock! That sounds quite interesting. Can you explain it？ M: For example, many students who come to the United States experience freedoms they have never enjoyed in their country. W: Sure, such as freedom from family, freedom from cultural norms they didn't like and freedom from the pressures of working in a real job. M: However, too much freedom and unstructured life can lead to other problems. Students sometimes skip classes, stay out late, and engage in activities that their families and cultures might not approve of, but students want to enjoy "freedom" while it lasts. W: So when students return back to their countries, they can struggle with fitting back into the cultural norms and family expectations of the past. M: Yes. Naturally, depression is possible and a loss of self can result. W: Then what can students do to minimize this Re-entry Shock？ M: First of all, keep in contact with your family and friends while you are abroad. They will be your first source of advice and support once you return. W: What else？ M: Second, have a clear plan what you will do when you return. Start looking for a job now or apply to enter a school months before you return. Re-entry Shock can be greatest when you have nothing to do when you return. (23) A．How to go abroad for study.

Did you want to pay your fine today？ M: Have you processed the return on the book？ Perhaps I'll accrue more fines, and keep it for a few more days. I really need it. The exam is in two days and this is practically the course text book. W: Sorry, I have already signed it hack in and now it is on hold.
