听力原文： Last April, American businessman Dennis Tito reportedly paid between twelve-million and twenty-million dollars to spend one week on the International Space Station. NASA had strongly objected to the Russian plan to permit a civilian on the costly research vehicle. After two years of negotiations, space officials have agreed on a process to train private citizens to take trips to the International Space Station.

NASA recently agreed to conditions that will permit Russia to sell trips to the space station. An American company called Space Adventures Limited of Arlington, in Virginia plans the trips. Experts say the change in policy at NASA shows a new desire to use space vehicles for business and industrial purposes. In a speech to Congress last year, NASA official Michael Hawes said that the space agency had not considered civilian travel as one of the industries it wanted to develop. However, Mister Hawes said that private space travel could now be done as long as safety measures are observed carefully.

Candidates for adventure space travel trips must be in excellent health and must pass difficult health tests. They must receive a lot of training. However, Special English can help you prepare for a space holiday. This is because all successful candidates who wish to travel to the International Space Station must be able to read and speak English.

(30)

A．Because it welcomes t a big sum of money by tourist

B．Because it thinks that safety measures are followed carefully.

C．Because Russia agrees, too.

D．Because the spaceship is available.

听力原文：M: Come in．Rose．Coffee？

W: Thank you．Jack．

M: How about the visit by the delegation from Poland？

W: Well．I still don't get it．Do we know when they are coming？

M: We offered them 3 choices．The end of March,the middle of April and the beginning of May．

W: Yeah．

M: And they chose the earliest one,which is good because we are rather busy in May．

W: True. But we do need definite dates of their coming and how many are coming. There were six of them last time. Did they say eight this time？ My assistant needs to make a firm booking for their accommodations now. Otherwise it will be very difficult to find a hotel.

M: You are right. They said six to eight originally, but we got an E-mail this morning, saying it is going to he seven. Now we've got the definite number, we can make all the other bookings for them.

W: Good. That gives us eight weeks until they come.

M: Right. Here are my suggestions for their schedule. They will be with the university for five days. On the first day, I think they should visit our campus. The second day we can show them around the downtown. This will give them a general picture of the changes in today's China. And the last three days are for discussion and seminars.

W: OK. Do we need to invite some other famous professors from other universities？

M: That's a good idea. But no more than five are needed.

W: Right. I will arrange that.

听力原文： A new enemy is threatening Japanese traditions: leisure. [29] As part of its attempt to increase imports, the government is trying to get people to work less and spend more. The workers are disgusted.

The figures support the western prejudice that the Japanese are all work and no play. Trying to force workers away from their desks and machines, the government said last April that the country should cut down from its 2,100 hours average work year to 1,899 hours and a five-day week. Beginning in February, banks and stock markets will be closed on Saturdays, staff of civil service will be forced out of their offices two Saturdays a month. The government hopes that others will follow that practice.

But some persuasion will be needed. Small companies are very angry about it and they fear competitors may not cut hours. The unions are no happier: they have even advertised in newspapers arguing their case against the foreign pressure that is forcing leisure upon them. [30] They say that shorter hours are a disguised pay cut. [31] The industrialists, who have no objection to the government's plans, admit that shorter hours will help them cut costs. Younger Japanese, who are supposed to be acting against their hard-working parents, show no sign of wanting time off either. But unlike older workers, they do spend money in their spare time. Not content with watching television, they dance, dress up, sit in caf6s, go to pop concerts and generally drive the leisure-industry boom. Now that they know how to consume, maybe the West can teach them to relax and enjoy themselves, too.

(30)

A．The government wants to show more concern for the health of the people.

B．The government needs to import more goods from abroad.

C．The Japanese have been working too hard.

D．The Japanese hope to change the western prejudice.

听力原文：M: Oh, I just got some bad news today.

W: What happened, Tony？

M: Well, you know my job at the design studio？

W: Yes.

M: Well,...

W: Oh, no!

M: Oh, yes. Today the boss called me into his office and told me they had to lay me off indefinitely. That means as of April thirtieth, I'm out of work.

W: Oh!

M: No more job.

W: Tony, I am so sorry. You really liked working there.

M: Yeah, well, it's not all bad news. There's still a small chance that the company will call me back in the summer if the work picks up. You never know what'll happen. They may still need me then.

W: Oh, this is so sudden, isn't it？

M: Well, sort of. Two other employees lust their jobs last month, and I had a feeling I might be the next one in line. You know, I've only been working there ten months, so I don't have any seniority. If they're going to lay someone off, it's always going to be the newer employees first.

W: What are you going to do？

M: Like I said, I've still got a job until the end of the month. Starting in May, I plan to send out resumes and go on some inter views. Depending on the outcome of the interviews,...
