听力原文:W: Good morning, Mr.Tim.It's a long time since I had the pleasure of a visit for you.
M: Yes, it must be three or four years. I haven't visited you since I called about my will. You helped me with that, you remember?
W: Yes, I remember. Do you want to make any changes in your will?
M: I don't think that will be necessary, but you'll tell me if it is. I left everything, you remember, to my wife, and after her death, to my son Jerry. I've about $15,000 in shares of industrial companies. These bring in, after paying tax, about $1,125 a year. Well, I'm earning a good salary now, and I shall get a good pension from my employers, so my wife and I can live fairly comfortably with this extra income, I want to buy some land and build a house for my son; he will need a house when he gets married. I'm thinking of building one and giving it to him.
W: Your son's lucky. So you want my help buying the land and building the house.
M: Yes, that's right. As soon as you've done what's necessary for buying the land, Jerry and I will see an architect.
W: Have you found a plot yet?
M: Jerry was in Edinburgh last Saturday and saw a plot he likes. My wife and I went there two days ago, and we liked it, too. I'd like you to make the necessary inquiries for me.
W: I'd be pleased to do that. I shall have to write to the Local Authority and inquire whether it is allowed to build a house on your piece of land. You've not allowed to build a house without permission from the Planning Authority. And sometimes the Authority decides that a house must be built of stone, and not of brick, so that it doesn't spoil the surrounding village.

A.Half a year.
B.Two years.

听力原文: The World Health Organization says extraordinary progress has been made since the global campaign to eradicate polio was launched in 1988.
At that time, it says, 350 thousand children a year were paralyzed from this crippling disease. It says this figure dropped to 35 hundred last year.
W-H-O Coordinator for the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, Bruce Aylward, says last year a record 550 million children under age five were immunized in 82 countries against polio. Although this is an important achievement, he says the job is not yet over.
"The major challenge right now is to stop polio transmission everywhere within the next 24 months so that we can certify the world polio free on time in 2005. The greatest challenge to doing that will be making sure we access every child in the big remaining, heavily endemic or heavily infected polio areas."
The World Health Organization says the polio virus is now present in no more than 20 countries. This is down from 125 in 1988. But, it notes immunizing children in these few remaining countries will not be easy.
W-H-O says major difficulties lie in war-torn countries such as Afghanistan, Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Somalia, and Sudan. But, it says problems also exist in polio-endemic countries such as Nigeria, Ethiopia, Pakistan, and Northern India.
W-H-O vaccine export, Bjorn Melgaard says the goal is to be able to eventually stop immunizing children against polio.
"Once we are absolutely certain that the virus is not spreading; that epidemics can no longer occur, that the containment has been achieved, then we can stop vaccination."
Dr. Melgaard adds that the benefits from eradicating polio will be enormous. Besides ending the human suffering, he says countries will save about one-and-haft billion dollars a year in immunization costs.
But the World Health Organization warns against complacency. It says the whole world is at risk of polio until the last polio virus is eradicated. This means everyone will have to remain vigilant and committed to achieving this major public health goal.
Questions:
23.According to WHO coordinator, how soon shall we stop polio transmission everywhere so as to make the world polio free on time in 2005?
24.How many countries did they haste the polio virus in 1988?
25.What are the war-torn countries that WHO says major difficulties lie in?
26.What is the goal of this campaign?
(43)
A.One year.
B.Two years.
C.Three years.
D.Four years.

听力原文:W: Good evening! Welcome to our Talk Show program. Our guest today is Mr. David Smith, who had the experiences of studying abroad for seven years and then returning back home. Well, Mr. Smith, do you think going abroad was the hard part?
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.
B.How to enjoy the freedom abroad.
C.How to look for a job after returning back from abroad.
D.Re-entry Shock and how to reduce it.
