听力原文：M: (19)You know I've been thinking about applying for a job in Germany. Well, I've got the details about different jobs and I'd like your opinion about which would be the best one to go for.

W: Where are the jobs？

M: (20)One's in Munich, one's in Frankfurt and the other one's in Hamburg.

W: Munich's supposed to be a very nice place.

M: Yes, it is, and it's also in a beautiful part of Germany, not far from the Alps.

W: That would be great for the kids they'd love to be able to go skiing at weekends.

M: But, one problem with Munich is that it's growing very fast. That means the cost of living will probably be very high.

M: That's right, and there's a regular ferry service which would save quite a bit on fares.

W: What about the cost of living in Germany as a whole？ How is it compared with British？

听力原文：W: You're the editor of Public Eye. What kind of topics does your program cover？M

听力原文：W: You're the editor of Public Eye. What kind of topics does your program cover？

M: Well, there are essentially domestic stories. We don't cover international stories. We don't cover party politics or economics. We do issues of general social concern to our British audience. They can be anything from the future of the health service to the way the environment is going downhill.

W: How do you choose the topic？ Do you choose one because it's what the public wants to know about or because it's what you feel the public ought to know about？

M: I think it's a mixture of both. Sometimes you have a strong feeling that something is important and you want to see it examined and you want to contribute to a public debate. Sometimes people come to you with things they are worried about and they can be quite small things. They can be a story about corruption in local government, something they cannot quite understand, why it doesn't seem to be working out properly, like they are not having their litter collected properly or the dustbins emptied.

W: How do you know that you've got a really successful program？ One that is just right for the time？

M: I think you get a sense about it after working in it in a number of years. You know which stories are going to get the attention. They are going to be published just the point when the public are concerned about that.

Questions:

What kind of topics does Public Eye cover？

How does Public Eye choose its topics？

What factor plays an important role in running a successful program？

(20)

A．Current trends in economic development.

B．Domestic issues of general social concern.

C．Stories about Britain's relations with other nations.

D．Conflicts and compromises among political parties.
