Foreign Adoptions
Madonna, as you might have heard, is in the process of adopting a baby from Malawi. The one-year-old boy named David was flown last month to London. The American pop music star and her husband have a home there. Madonna is married to film director Guy Ritchie and is the biological mother of two children.
Madonna recently gave millions of dollars to support efforts to help orphans(孤儿)in Malawi. The southern African country is one of the poorest nations in the world.
Madonna says she wants to give David a better life. But some people criticized her for adopting a child whose father is still alive; even if the father did agree to it. And some child psychologists said children do best if they are well cared for in their own homeland.
The adoption is not yet final. The Lilongwe High Court gave Madonna and her husband temporary custody of David on October twelfth. The court order is for eighteen months. During that period a social worker will report on how the boy is being cared for.
A committee of sixty-seven human rights groups in Malawi argued that adoption laws there normally bar international adoptions. The committee has brought a legal action to make sure if Madonna received special treatment.
Madonna says she did not. But she has supporters. They include Jane Aronson, an influential expert on adoptions and head of the World Orphans Foundation, She says Madonna is offering David a new life.
More than two thirds of people in the United States who adopt children from other countries are not famous. They are people like Miriam and John Baxter of Bethesda, Maryland. The Baxters have a biological daughter named Olivia. Olivia was almost eight when her new brother, Matthew, arrived. The Baxters adopted Matthew from an orphanage(孤儿院) in South Korea.
They had thought about adopting a baby from China. But their plans changed five years ago after the World Trade Center attack in New York. A nearby office where they needed to get a document to satisfy Chinese adoption requirements was closed temporarily.
Waiting for the office to re-open would have delayed the process another month. And the Baxters already faced a year of waiting.
Then they learned that it might be faster to try to adopt a child from South Korea. Miriam Baxter has a brother and sister who were adopted from there. And, in her words, "we wanted the child so much, we just could not wait any longer."
There are many older children in the United States who could be adopted. Finding permanent homes for them is difficult, especially if they have physical or emotional problems. People who want to adopt usually want a child who is healthy and very young.
In nineteen seventy-three, the Supreme Court ruled that women have a right to end unwanted pregnancies. So, for more and more Americans looking to adopt, the answer is to look in another country. The State Department approved immigrant visas for eight thousand foreign adopted children in nineteen eighty-nine. By last year the number was almost twenty-three thousand.
The Census Bureau says two and a half percent of all children in-the United States are adopted. Of those, about thirteen percent are foreign-born.
Years ago, few unmarried Americans or couples older than forty adopted babies. Today, it is much more common for single people to adopt. The same is true of older married couples and older singles. Some couples of the same sex also adopt children.
Adoption laws differ from state to state. People who want to adopt must show they can provide a safe and loving home. But sometimes they have to wait years until an adoption agency can find a child for them. So they might seek a private adoption—for example, by paying a woman to have a baby for them.

听力原文： Jane Brown has been married for 12 years. She has three children and lives in the suburb outside Columbus Ohio. When her youngest child reached school age, Jane decided to go back to work. She felt that she should contribute to the household finances. Her salary could make the difference between a financial struggle and a secure financial situation for her family. Jane also felt bored and frustrated in her role as a homemaker and wanted to be more involved in life outside her home. Jane was worried about her children's adjustment to this new situation, but she arranged for them to go stay with a woman nearby after school each afternoon They seemed to be happy with the arrangement. The problem seemed to be between Jane and her husband Bill. When Jane was at home all day, she was able to clean the house, go grocery shopping, wash the clothes, take care of the children and cook two or three meals each day. She was very busy, of course, but she succeeded in getting everything done. Now the same things need to be done, but Jane has only evenings and early morning to do them. Both Jane and Bill are tired when they arrived home at 6 pm. Bill's accustomed to sitting down and reading the paper or watching TV until dinner's ready. This is exactly what Jane feels like doing, but someone has to fix dinner, and Bill expects it to be Jane. Jane is becoming very angry at Bill's attitude. She feels, that they should share the household jobs, but Bill feels that everything should be the same as it was before Jane went back to work.

听力原文： The first reality TV show in the world was called Expedition Robinson and it was shown in Sweden in 1997. Half the population of the country watched the final event and a new kind of TV program was born. Two years later in Holland, the first series of Big Brother was filmed. Again, it was a great success and the final program was watched by 15 million people. Now more than 20 countries around the world have Big Brother or Expedition Robinson on their TV screens. The ordinary people who take part in the programs are known by millions of people in their own countries and reality TV has become big, big business.
For the TV producers, reality TV is a dream which come true because many of the programs cost nothing to make. At some point, the television viewers are asked to telephone the program to vote or to apply to take part in the show. It is the cost of these telephone calls that pays for the shows. One of the most popular shows is Pop Idol. In the show a group of attractive young people are made into pop stars. TV viewers vote for their favorite person on the show. The winner makes a record and millions of copies of the record are sold. His or her pictures are published on the covers of magazines or on the front pages of newspapers, and then, they are quickly forgotten.
But not everyone is happy about reality TV. In Portugal, two TV channels got into trouble because they showed too much of the personal lives of the people in the shows. In France, reality TV is called "rubbish TV" and the TV studios of Big Brother were attacked three times in one week. In Greece, Big Brother was described as "against human rights and civilization".

His wife Jane, an Oxford graduate in modern languages, has a demanding full-time job. She is director of the Cambridge House literacy scheme for adults in South London. Her working week involves several evenings and Saturdays, and at these times her husband is in sole charge of home and family. Apart from this, they share household jobs and employ a child-minder for the afternoons. This enables him to teach two days a week and to do what he considers his principal work—writing. He has written several books and spends much of his time in the British Museum Reading Room, cycling there from his home in Brixton. People ask the Maces if they think that their children miss them. One can argue that satisfied parents generally have satisfied children, but in any case the Maces are careful to reserve time and energy to play with their children. "And they have now developed relationships with other adults and children."
Previously, Rodney Mace worked full-time and Jane only part-time. Then 18 months ago, the director of file literacy scheme left. "It seemed to me that Jane was very well suited to do this ]ob. She was very doubtful about it. But I urged her to apply. She did, and she got it." Jane Mace confirms that she needed this encouragement, as so many women initially do. Did his male self-esteem suffer from the change-over？ Nothing like that occurred. But he still seems amazed at the way it changed his thinking. "I felt that we were finally going to be partners. I felt enormous relief. I wasn't avoiding responsibility, but changing it. Our relationship is so much better now. It has been a change for the good for both of us — I think for all of us, in every aspect of our lives, I cannot overemphasize that: in every aspect, 1 think it is fundamental that the woman works. The idea of equal partnership is just a fancy if one partner doesn't work."
The article is about a couple whose married life is happier because ______.
A．they have a truly equal partnership
B．the husband has more sense of household responsibility
C．the couple cares little about other people's comment on their life
D．the wife has a full time job
听力原文：Michael: Hi! I saw you yesterday with John. We room together. I'm Michael.
Jane: Oh, hi, Mike. How are you doing？
Michael: I'm okay, but school has been really mad since I came. I haven't even had a chance to breathe!
Jane: I know. It's especially crazy when you're a freshman. Hey, what's your major？
Michael: Travel and tourism.
Jane: Well, what do you plan to do after graduation？
Michael: Uh...I really haven't decided. I think I'd like to work for a travel agency in this area. What about you？
Jane: Well, when I first started college, I majored m physics, but later I realized I might have a hard time finding a job in that field. I ended up changing to computer science. Finding a job in the IT industry shouldn't be as difficult.
Michael: Have you got a part-time job to support yourself through school？
Jane: Well, I'm on a four-year scholarship that pays my tuition.
Michael: Wow, lucky you!
Jane: Yeah, how about you？ Are you paying for school yourself？.
Michael: Sort of. I work weekends at a travel agency.
Jane: A travel agency？ That seems like a perfect experience for you ! What do you do there？
Michael: I'm a tour guide. I show tour groups around the city.
Jane: Wow, your English must be pretty good then.
Michael: Actually, they're all Chinese tourists. That's why I got the job.

Workplace 2020
—By Susan Paynter
It's a summer morning in the year 2020 and not yet 7: 30 a.m. Jane Han son, flushed from her early morning run along the river, sets down in her work station at home. She is still in her sweats, and this is the first day all week she has slid her knees under a desk.
For Jane and millions of other so-called knowledge workers, the job is wherever she is. Today, it's at home. A graphics designer, Jane has a current assignment to develop a new logo for a sports shoe for a client. She's delight ed to have the project, since it gives her a chance to work with Aki, her in ternational partner inYokohama (横滨), Japan. Today, Aki's face pops up on her computer screen as she checks "see-mail," a type of communication that replaced E-mail a few years ago. With a click, Jane can call up the video image and voice of each person who left her a message the previous night.
This morning, Jane calls Aki back and they see and hear each other via video phone. They collaborate on an interactive screen almost as if they are standing side by side at the same drawing board.
Jane's husband, George, can often be found working at home as well. "Going to the office" has become an option, not a necessity, with the advent of the wireless computer. George teaches at a nearby university, and often broadcasts his lectures via satellite. But this morning he is at an on-campus seminar. The kids are also out of the house today attending classes at a nearby language and science lab. Jane is grateful to have the house to herself today as she and Aki work on the logo.
The Virtual Office
Twenty years from now, as many as 25 million Americans—nearly 20 percent of the workforce—will stretch the boundaries between home and work far beyond the lines drawn now. Technology has already so accelerated the pace of change in the workplace that few futurists are willing to predict hard numbers. But nearly all trend-trackers agree that much of the next century's work will be decentralized, done at home or in satellite offices on a schedule tailored to fit worker's lives and the needs of their families. Even international boundaries may blur as the economy goes truly global.
Between 1990 and 1998, telecommuting doubled from about 3 percent to 6 percent of the working population—or about 8.2 million people. The numbers are expected to double again in far less time, with as much as 12 percent of the population telecommuting by the year 2005, says Charlie Grantham, director of the Institute for the Study of Distributed Work in Windsor, California.
Wireless computers and seamless communications systems are already in the works and fueling the trend. The video phone is not far off, an advance that many futurists believe will make even more companies comfortable with employees working from home. "Now, we communicate at the level of radio," says Gerald Celente, author of Trends 2000 and director of The Trends Research Institute of Rhinebeck, New York. E-mail and the telephone are primitive, he argues, and make people feel cut off from co-workers. But once everyone can see each other on the screen, long-distance relationships will feel more intimate.
What about the office？ "Today's offices are a direct descendant of the factory," says Gil Gordon, a consultant based in Monmouth Junction, New Jersey, who has spent nearly two decades advising companies on how to institute telecommuting and more flexible work patterns. "They may be better lighted, but they're much the same."
Still, Gordon does not think the office building will vanish altogether. Rather, the office of 2020 will be just one place
