听力原文： A newspaper reports Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Abdullah has canceled a visit to Canada over criticism for the alleged mistreatment of a Canadian citizen detained in a Saudi prison. Saudi Arabia’s A1-Riyadb newspaper quotes Saudi officials as saying the trip has been called off because of what they call "unacceptable interference" by Canadian officials and some of Canada's newspapers. The dispute is over 43-year-old William Sampson, who is being held in Saudi Arabia in connection with two bomb explosions in November. The blasts killed a British citizen and injured several other people in the capital, Riyadh. Mr. Sampson could face the death penalty if found guilty of murder. Canada’s National Post newspaper recently quoted a close friend of the prisoner as saying Mr. Sampson had been taken to a hospital on May 17 with a crushed vertebra, foot injuries and scratched wrists. Saudi officials have said the injuries were the result of a suicide attempt. The Canadian government rejected the torture allegations after receiving a report from its ambassador who visited Mr. Sampson with a European doctor in a hospital on Monday. What crime is William Sampson charged with？ A．Bombing. B．Arson. C．Rape. D．Burglary.

The greenback was sold off after weak U.S. jobs figures on Friday but the euro remained close to 8-month lows after France and the Netherlands rejected the EU constitution in referendums last week. "It's been one-way news in favor of the dollar apart from Friday's job data... We're seeing a bit of a move back today but it's not that convincing. Such is the weight of bad news on the euro," said Ian Gunner, head of foreign exchange research at Mellon Bank. U.S. jobs growth in May was the worst in 21 months, data showed on Friday, coming after figures last week showed manufacturing activity was the slowest in almost two years. By 0750 GMT, the euro stood at $1.2266 against the dollar, up a quarter of a percent from late New York levels on Friday and a cent above last week's 8-month low of $1.2157. The euro was little changed against the yen. The dollar was also down a quarter of a percent against the yen at 107.29 yen. Eurozone finance ministers meet in Luxembourg on Monday and Tuesday in the face of uncertainty over further European political and monetary integration following the two "no" votes. Rejection of the charter at the referendums, along with the region's poor growth prospects, helped push the euro down almost 3 percent against the dollar last week. Britain's foreign secretary was expected to announce on Monday the country was shelving plans for a referendum on the EU constitution, one step short of publicly declaring it dead. The euro wobbled after European Central Bank Chief Economist Otmar Issing was quoted as saying that policy strategy does not rule out an interest rate cut. A cut in rates would further underscore the dollar's interest rate advantage over the euro. U.S. rates stand at 3.0 percent compared to 2.0 percent in the euro zone. According to the news item, ______. A．both the dollar and the euro were strong B．both the dollar and the euro were weak C．the dollar was strong while the euro was weak D．the dollar was weak while the euro was strong

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.

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.
