听力原文: The old house-allotting policy had at least two disadvantages. First, the government spent a lot of money building some houses, but these houses were allotted to people free of charge. Thus. the government would have no money to build more houses for people who badly needed them. Second, the persons who were in power could get more houses than those who were powerless. This was quite unfair. On the contrary, the new system of house allotment may bring about many new things. For example, the government will have more money which can be used in house construction. So, the housing industry can develop more quickly. Besides, because houses will be sold to people, the chances they get will be equal.

One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one's mistakes. (79) It is extremely hard some times to say a simple thing like "I was wrong about that," and it is even harder to say, "I was wrong, and you were right about that."
I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons. Then he related an incident and I began to remember vaguely the incident he was de scribing.
I was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that particular clay, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident tool place.
(80) There must have been a special sale on eggs that day be cause there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons. The cartons were stacked three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together; so I went to work.
The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees inspecting some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was culprit(罪犯). He severely scolded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, apparently the manager did not.
How old was the author when he wrote this article?
A.About 8.
B.About 18.
C.About 23.
D.About 15.

Everything has two sides. One side of SARS is already clear. It is a deadly disease, which causes fear. There were 2601 cases recorded on the Chinese mainland on April 24, according to government figures. Some 115 people have died and numbers keep rising.
But, there's another side.
SARS is a reminder of how fragile (脆弱的)life can be. Suddenly, it's not just the old people who are thinking about death. Everyone now realizes there might not always be a tomorrow.
Li Ping, a Senior 3 student in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, came into contact(接触)with a suspected(疑似)SARS patient in mid-April. He was told to stay at home for at least two weeks. "Watching TV about more and more SARS patients dying, ! never knew that death could be so close. Life is Valuable and I am going to treasure every single day." he said.
SARS teaches people to be grateful, not only for their own lives, but also for others. Doctors and nurses, for example, have to spend all their time with infected(被感染的)patients. As a result, more than 20 percent of SARS cases in China are medical workers.
Liu Yu, a Senior 2 student of Beijing No. 5 Middle School, wants to be a doctor when he grows up. "Although they certainly know of the dangers, doctors and nurses remain bravely dedicated(致力于)to saving people's lives. I was deeply moved by what they have done. I think they are real heroes." he said.
SARS also teaches sympathy(同情). The past few weeks have been terrible for Chinese people. But there are far worse things than SARS in this world, such as war, earthquakes and murders. Think of the Iraqis, who have been living terrible lives for 20 years. Think of how the Americans felt on 9. 11.
And finally, SARS offers the chance to grow. All different types of people and government officials are joining together to cope with this difficult time. When this passes, China and its people, will have learned great lessons.
The story of Li Ping is given in this passage mainly to ______.
A.tell us the hardship of life
B.tell us the fragility of life
C.tell the cruelty of SARS
D.tell us the joy of life

Tile media can impact current events. As a graduate student at Berkeley in the 1960s, I re member experiencing the events related to the People's Park that were occurring on campus. Some of these events were given national media coverage in the press and on TV. I found it interesting to compare my impression of what was going on with perceptions obtained from the news media.I could begin to see events of that time feed on news coverage. This also provided me with some healthy insights into the distinctions between these realities.
Electronic media are having a greater impact on the people's lives every day. People gather more and more of their impressions from representations. Television and telephone communications are linking people to a global village, or what one writer calls the electronic city. Consider the information that television brings into your home every day. Consider also the contact you have with others simply by using telephone. These media extend your consciousness and your contact. For example, the video coverage of the 1989 San Francisco earthquake focused on "live action" such as the fires or the rescue efforts. This gave the viewer the impression of total disaster. Television coverage of the Iraqi War also developed an immediacy. CNN reported events as they happened.This coverage was distributed worldwide. Although most people were far away from these events, they developed some perception of these realities.
In 1992, many people watched in horror as riots broke out on a sad Wednesday evening in Los Angeles, seemingly fed by video coverage from helicopters. This event was triggered by the verdict (裁定) in the Rodney King beating. We are now in an age where the public can have access to information that enables it to make its own judgements, and most people, who had seen the video of this beating, could not understand how the jury (陪审团) was able to acquit (宣布……无罪) the policemen involved.Media coverage of events as they occur also provides powerful feedback that influences events. This can have harmful results, as it seemed on that Wednesday night in Los Angeles. By Friday night the public got to see Rodney King on television plea ding, "Can we all get along?" By Saturday, television seemed to provide positive feedback as the Los Angeles riot turned out into a rally for peace. The television showed thousands of people marching with banners and cleaning tools. Because of that, many more people turned out to join the peaceful event they saw unfolding on television. The real healing, of course, will take much longer, but electronic media will continue to be a part of that process.
The best title for the passage is______.
A.The 1992 Los Angeles Riots
B.The Impact of Media on Current Events
C.The 1989 San Francisco Earthquake and the 1992 Los Angeles Riots
D.How Media Cover Events
