M: Hi, Sally, this is Phil.
W: Great to hear from you Phil! How have you been doing?
M: To tell you the truth, I'm very worried about our final examinations next month. For one thing, I can't sleep.
W: I sympathize! I went through the same thing last year.
M: That's exactly why I'm calling you. Do you have any suggestions for coping with anxiety? You know how I hate exams!
W: Well, last year the university offered a stress-management course at about this time. Have you been in contact with the student health services?

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?

听力原文: Mike Leavitt, the US Secretary for Health and Human Services says surveillance and information exchange are essential in fighting the lethal HSN1 bird flu virus that has killed 60 people in four Asian countries since late 2003.
"Surveillance is very clearly our first line of defense, but it only works if there is transparency, if there is timely sharing of information, and if there is a spirit of cooperation," he said.
Mr. Leavitt made the remarks on Monday in Jakarta, having previously visited Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam, along with Indonesia the' countries most seriously affected by bird flu.
While most of the people who have contracted the disease have caught it from close contact with infected poultry, scientists are concerned the disease may change to one easily passed between people, causing a pandemic that could kill millions.
Mr. Leavitt says the H5N1 virus has the potential to affect the world economically, socially, and politically.
"The world is a biologically dangerous place right now. Avian influenza is spreading to other nations and to other continents, An outbreak anywhere means that there is risk everywhere," added Mr. Leavitt. "No nation can afford to ignore this. The effects of a pandemic go well beyond personal health. They affect economics, they affect politics, they affect social issues, and social concerns."
Secretary Leavitt stressed_______ in the process of fighting H5N1 bird flu virus.
A.research and development of new medicine
B.new devices of prevention
C.separation of infectors
D.surveillance and information exchange

听力原文:Conversations are really kind of interesting. I guess it's a kind of hobby of mine to listen to conversations that I can hear in public. It is amazing how different the style, or the tone or the content of different conversations can be and to listen to the differences in the language that people use when they speak to different people.
If you're ever in a bookstore or department store, it's interesting to hear how the same salesperson talks to different people. There're other interesting places to listen to conversations too. I think, and one place that I've found is on bus trips. People often talk to each other as if no one else were there. I guess they think people can't hear their conversations.
Recently I was on a bus, and I was listening to a conversation of two people behind me. I can't really say I was listening. I guess it would have been hard not to hear it. it was amusing to listen to the two people, though, because they were playing a kind of language, uh, word game about states and state capitals. One person would say the name of the state, and the other person would say the name of the capital.
It sounds like a kind of simple game that doesn't involve much language, and you wouldn't think that it would involve very much conversation, but actually this wasn't the case because they were playing this game. They continued to compliment one another and talk about how much they knew about history and how many of the other things that they could or couldn't remember about those places from their trips or from their reading. It was really kind of fun to listen to them.
(30)
A.Criticizing others on bus.
B.Amusing people in pubic.
C.Enjoying talking to people.
D.Listening to people's in public.

听力原文:Italian scientists have raised new health concerns about the safety of using mobile phones, with research showing radio waves from the handsets makes cancerous cells grow more aggressively. When Fiorenzo Marinelli and his colleagues at the National Research Council in Bologna exposed leukemia cells in the laboratory to 48 hours of continuous radio waves they initially killed the cancer cells but then made the surviving tumor cells replicate more rapidly.
We don't know what the effects would be on healthy human cells, Marinelli told New Scientist magazine. In the Italian study, after 24 hours 20 percent more leukemia cells died than healthy cells but longer exposure to the radio waves triggered genes in the surviving cancer cells to divide aggressively.
The results of the study do not show any direct threat to human health but they support the belief of some scientists who say radiation can damage DNA and destroy the cell repair system, thus making tumors more deadly. But animal studies, including recent research by Australian scientists at the Institute of Medical and Veterinary Science in Adelaide, have shown that radiation from mobile phones does not trigger the growth of tumors.
The WHO (i.e., The World Health Organization) has called for more research into the potential health hazards of mobile phones and has urged people to limit their use of them. A British government inquiry, which concluded that there was no evidence that mobile phones are a danger to health, has advised parents to discourage their children, whose brains are still developing, from using them excessively.
What is the speaker's main topic?
A.Effects of using mobile phones on healthy human cells.
B.Risks of developing cancer involved in the use of mobile phones.
C.Damage to healthy cells caused by the use of mobile phones.
D.The potential health hazards of mobile phones on humans.

听力原文: The head of the World Health Organization says important efforts are being made to fight the world' s serious health problems. But she says gains could be lost if countries around the world do not support new health programs.
Gro Harlem Brundtland made her comments to the World Health Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland recently. She described a number of health programs expected in the coming years. However, Doctor Brundtland said the WHO' s 191 member countries must support the programs and put them into action. With this support, she said the WHO could reduce the number of deaths caused by malaria, AIDS, tuberculosis and other infectious diseases. She also said the death rate for pregnant women and babies could be reduced.
Doctor Brundtland told W-H-O members that good health is linked to economic and social development. For example, she described how smoking tobacco threatens to reduce the resources of all countries, especially developing countries. The World Health Organization estimates that four million people die each year from diseases linked to smoking. The organization expects that number to rise to ten- million a year in the next thirty years. Most of these deaths are expected in developing countries.
Which of the following infectious diseases is not mentioned in the report?
A.Malaria.
B.Enteritis.
C.AIDS.
D.Tuberculosis.

听力原文: BARCELONA
A new study in the journal of Experimental Psychology suggested that it's not just humans that can tell the difference between languages. It turns out that rats can distinguish between Japanese and Dutch. That's what researchers at the Park Scientific Barcelona found. When they trained rats to press a little lever in response to a specific language, some rats were given Japanese while others heard Dutch. When the rats later listened to both languages they ignored the unfamiliar one. Human babies easily pick up on the distinctive rhythm of a language as they are learning to talk. Rats obviously don't use language. So this finding suggests that some of the skills that make human language possible probably evolved for other reasons.
AMERICA
An examination of old bones in America has led scientists to suggest that sperm whales diving deep beneath the surface of the ocean can suffer from decompression sickness or the bends just as human divers do. Researchers found evidence of damage in the bones of whales dating back over a period of more than 100 years. The pitting and erosion of the bones matched the conditions associated with the bends in which too rapid ascent from the ocean depth can cause agonizing pain or death.
JAPAN
Another powerful earthquake has struck Japan's northwestern Niigata Prefecture, site of the quake, Saturday. That was the nation's most deadly earthquake in 9 years. The latest temblor measuring 5.6 on the open-ended Richter Scale occurred early Monday local time. There were no immediate damage reports. On Sunday, Japan's Prime Minister announced he asked parliament for emergency funding to help people recover from Saturday's earthquake which left at least 23 people dead and thousands more injured. The quake forced about 65,000 people to evacuate their homes and cut off power, communications and transportation. It was the worst in Japan since the 1995 earthquake in the city of Kobe.
CHINA
The American Secretary of State is in China for talks expected to focus on the deadlock over North Korea's nuclear program. China has hosted previous six-nation talks aimed at resolving the crisis over what North Korea describes as its nuclear deterrent. Pyongyang has refused to resume negotiation and says US-led international naval exercise due to begin on Monday off the Japanese coast are evidence of Washington's hostile intent. Speaking earlier in Tokyo, Mr. Secretary denied the accusation and said it was urgent to resume the multilateral talks with North Korea.
EUROPE
The US dollar has continued to fall on international currency markets, hitting the lowest level it's reached against the Euro since the European single currency began trading in 1999. It slipped to 1 dollar 34.6 cents against the Euro. That's down more than a third from its highest point in 2002. The head of the European Central Bank described the plunge as brutal and financial analysts say the dollar could soon lose its status as the world's dominant currency. But the United States Treasury Secretary insists that the government is addressing the issue.
Questions:
6. What does this news item mainly suggest?
7.What can sperm whales suffer from when diving deep?
8.Which of the following statements is NOT a feature of the earthquake?
9.What can we infer from the news?
10.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the news?
(26)
A.Only humans can tell the difference between languages.
B.Rats can use language.
C.Rats can distinguish between English and Chinese.
D.The distinction of linguistic rhythm is a skill owned not only by humans.
