Part B Listening Comprehension

听力原文： Welcome to "Consumer Today", the program aired daily this time, devoted to the consumers of the Washington Metropolitan area and their problems. Today's consumer complaint letter comes from Mrs. Arnie Smelt of Mac Clean, Virginia, who says:

"We've been living near the Dulles International Airport for five years and there has always been a noise problem caused by airplanes taking off and landing. But now that the Super Sonic Transport Jets are allowed to land at Dulles, the noise has become intolerable. We would like to sell our house and move to a quieter place, but we can't find a buyer who is willing to pay us anything near what the house is worth. What can we do?"

In response to Mrs. Smelt's letter we have contacted the Environmental Protection Agency and they told us that there is nothing they can do about this problem. The Federal Aviation Administration gave us a similar answer. It seems that the United States Congress has final authority in this matter. Therefore we would like to urge each and every one of you listening to our program today to help by writing several letters: a letter to your district representative and a letter to each of your senators. Then, if you are brave enough, write a letter to the President telling him your opinion about the SST being allowed to use Dulles Airport.

Questions:

1.Where is Dulles International Airport?

2.Which kind of pollution does Mrs. Smelt complain of?

3.Who was contacted by the "Consumer Today" employees in response to Mrs. Smelt's complaint?

4.Who has final authority in this problem?

听力原文：Susan: Hi, Nicky. How was your first week on the AIDS ward?

Nicky: Ok, I guess. But I never realized how many different things nurse's assistants have to do. There's a lot to learn—(pause)

S: There sure is! That's why we're having this meeting today, Nicky. As your advisor, it's my responsibility to help you learn your new job. We've found that sometimes our new assistants have trouble adjusting to the AIDS ward.

N: Actually, I do feel worded about being here. I keep thinking that I might get infected with HIV. I know there isn't a very big risk, but I'm still worried. I try to be very careful. I always wear the protective clothing. But then something strange happened.

S: What happened?

N: I went in to see a patient, to bring him his lunch, and he looked at me and said, "Oh, you're new here, aren't you?" Then he was acting very angry at me after that. I think it was beck/use of the clothing!

S: Why do you think he was angry?

N: I'm not sure. I was just trying to protect myself.

S: I think the important thing to remember when you're working with AIDS patients is that you're working with people—people who are very sick, but who still need m be treated with respect. I remember what my boss told me when I first started working with AIDS patients. He said, "It's important to isolate the AIDS virus, but not the AIDS patient." We don't want our AIDS patients to feel that way. It's important that they fell just like all our other patients.

N: So what should I do?

S: Well, you have to think carefully before you go into someone's room. We know that it's impossible to get AIDS from just touching someone, or breathing the air next to them, or even sharing a glass of water. AIDS, as you know, is passed though blood or bodily fluids. So when you go into a patient's room, think to yourself: "What am I going to do in here? Will I be in contact with blood or other bodily fluids?" For example, when you serve lunch to someone, do you think you need to wear protective clothing? Is there going to be any blood then?

N: Um, no, I guess not. I guess I don't need to wear the clothing when I serve food.

S: How about when you draw someone's blood? Do you need the protective clothing then?

N: Well, there's a chance that I could prick my finger on the needle.

S: Right. In that case I'd wear gloves, just to be safe. I guess the rule to live by is to protect yourself when you need to, but don't wear the clothing unnecessarily.

N: You have such a good attitude. Don't you ever get depressed? You know, working with sick people all the time who will never get better... I'm not sure I can handle it.

S: It is sad sometimes, but remember that many people in the AIDS ward do get better. They aren't cured of AIDS, but they can become healthy again and go back to their lives. Especially now, with so many new AIDS medicines, many people live for a long time. But unfortunately, many people do die as well. Sometimes, when you've been working with a patient for a long time, and that person dies, it's almost like losing a good friend. But on the other hand, you'll need some of the most wonderful people here. There are people who are sick and dying, but they are still trying to be happy and live as best they can.

N: I feel a little bit better now. it's good to talk to someone who has experience. Thanks a lot!

Most of you graduating today will be employees all your working life, working for somebody else and for a paycheck. And so will most,【21】not all, of the thousands of other young Americans graduating this year in all the other schools and colleges across the country.

【22】has become a society of employees. A hundred years or so ago only one【23】every five Americans all work was employed, i.e. , worked for somebody else. Today only 20% of Americans are not employed but working for themselves. And【24】fifty years ago "being employed" meant【25】as a factory laborer or as a farm hand, the employee of today is increasingly a middle-class person with a【26】formal education, holding a professional or management job requiring【27】and technical skills.【28】, two things have characterized American society during these last fifty years: the middle and upper classes have become employees; and middle-class and【29】employees have been the fastest growing groups in our working population-growing so fast that the industrial worker, that【30】child of the Industrial Revolution, has been losing in numerical importance【31】the expansion of industrial production.

This is one of the most profound social changes any country【32】. It is, however, a perhaps【33】greater change for the individual young man【34】to start. Whatever he does, in all【35】, he will do it as an employee; wherever he aims, he Will have to try to reach it【36】being an employee.

As an employee you work with and through other people. This means that your success as an employee will【37】on your ability to communicate with people and to present your own thoughts and ideas to them【38】they will both understand what you are driving【39】and be persuaded. The letter, the report or memorandum (记录) the【40】spoken "presentation" to a committee are basic tools of the employee.
