听力原文： A bomb has exploded at a Shiite Mosque in Karachi, Pakistan, killing at least 16 people and wounding more than 30 others. VOA's Michael Kitchen reports from the Pakistani capital Islamabad.

Police say a bomb planted in a main Shiite mosque in Pakistan's largest city was detonated during Monday evening prayers. The blast sparked rioting in the neighborhood around the house of worship, marking the second straight day of civil unrest. On Sunday, citywide rioting erupted following the assassination of a well respected Sunni Muslim cleric. Pakistani Interior Secretary Abdullah says the mosque bombing is likely a response by Sunni extremists to the assassination. While Pakistan's majority Sunni and minority Shiite Muslims normally enjoy good relations, extremists on both sides continue to commit acts of sectarian terrorism against each other's populations. Michael Kitchen, VOA news, Islamabad.

听力原文：Friend: OK, so what happened when you got to the airport?

Pauline: Well, I waited in a queue for ages and finally it was my turn to come up to the desk. So I presented my passport and she said 'I think you need a visa'. And I said 'No I don't, I was there six years ago and it was OK then'. So ... and I said. and she said 'Well your travel agent should have told you'. So anyway she went away to check and when she came back I just knew by the look on her face that I needed a visa. And my flight was going to go just then. And I said 'What will I do?' And so she called over the OSLrep, they're the people I booked through, and they were very nice to me and they said, 'Well you've got to go to London and get your visa. And I said 'Well can't you have it at the airport?' And they said 'No'. And so, so then they said, 'Well the best thing to do is to get on this coach and go down to London'. So I got on a coach but there was pea-soup fog everywhere and so I sat on the motorway for two hours. And the whole time thinking what I am doing? And so I got down to London. And it took literally three minutes, I filled in a form. they stamped my passport, thanks. And then I had to ring the airline and try to get a flight out. And they kept saying 'Ring back in an hour. Ring back in an hour. Ring back in an hour'. And every time I had to ring back they'd say 'Sorry. Well, the nearest flight we've got is from Newcastle tomorrow morning.'

Friend: Oh no. You didn't go to Newcastle.

So then because I was in London that was nearer Gatwick I had to then stay in London so I had to phone a friend and he was out for two hours, and then he wouldn't be home for another two hours so I killed four hours before I got to him, stayed the night with him. He drove me to the airport the next morning. Then the plane was delayed. So I was getting really frightened by this time. And so then eventually I got on the plane and it was delayed by engine trouble and so on. And then I got out there, and I got out there five minutes after the air-line office dosed and there was no message for me.

It'll cost me the earth'. But in fact they said 'Well it's never far in these places'. And so then I decided. OK, so I got in a taxi.

Friend: But you had the address?

Pauline: Well luckily... I didn't have the address before I left home but luckily at Luton airport I'd asked for the address, so I had the address, Right. So then the Taxi drove me out to the airport...to the villa, and we took ages to find it. We were searching round eventually found it...

听力原文：INTERVIEWER: Newspapers seem sort of impersonal... but radio and TV—there are personalities involved. Isn't there a lot more possibility that since there are personalities involved it will have a greater impact on people's reactions?

DANIEL: Well, I think you have to first start with the understanding that no person is unobjective. We're all striving to be objective, but we have our own prejudice. It's build in. And so, even the person who writes the story in the newspaper lets that bias come through in his pen. of course, when we are personally on camera, we're trying to stick pretty closely to a script. that we have already written.

INTERVIEWER: Uhm ....

DANIEL: But sometimes, perhaps in an ad, although we try to avoid as much of that as possible—some of our prejudice or bias will show, even though we're striving not to let it show.

INTERVIEWER: Uh... but when people read a newspaper article, it's kind of cold.

DANIEL: Right, that's true.

INTERVIEWER: It could be... it could be a real exciting story, and all you can do is put exclamation marks. But when you see a person that...

DANIEL: I see what you're saying.

INTERVIEWER: I started to say that the particular biases of a person can come through more readily.

DANIEL: I think it's something you have to guard against. It would be wrong for that to happen. But, yes, I think what you're saying is true—that in trying to interpret the words that are on the script, I might... in my voice or in my expression show some type of reaction to it. Uh... probably, would be more of a reaction than it would. of an interpretation although the voice implies an interpretation when you read any group of words.

INTERVIEWER: Right.

DANIEL: I guess the idea is to make that sentence not so bland, but so—leave out adjectives, leave out adverbs so that you deal just with nouns and verbs, and in that way, you keep it as straight as you possibly can.

INTERVIEWER: How do you see yourself, primarily—other than reporting the news?

Uh... are you an entertainer?

DANIEL: No. No, I don't think I'm an entertainer. I think, perhaps, the sports man might be an entertainer of sort—although he has a journalistic function too. I see myself as a public servant.

Uh... the same as... a policeman or a mayor might be providing information to people that they need in their lives to... to live their life, to make decisions and so forth.

DANIEL: Right.

DANIEL: Because of your visibility, you become a somewhat of a celebrity in that sense, and I don't know I try to play that down, so that doesn't become a thing with me.

INTERVIEWER: Uh-uhm...

DANIEL: Because I think that's probably the biggest problem in our profession—the biggest temptation is to get a big head. And while you need confidence in order to do your job— it's a... it's a high-pressure job, so you need confidence—you get too much of that confidence, and that begins to come across the tube.

INTERVIEWER: Right ....

Directions: In this section, you will hear several passages. Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow.

听力原文： Some kind of planning in composition writing is essential. For one thing it reveals whether you really have enough to say on the topic you have chosen while there is still time to change to another topic. It is also important because it stimulates your ideas and helps to fix them in your mind.

When you have chosen your topic, and perhaps have a general idea of your theme, make quick short notes of all the ideas that come into your head. Remember that these should be notes--words or phrases--not sentences, which would slow you down. As you do this you will find that new ideas will come to you, for one idea leads to another. You may have to rearrange your ideas, to decide which paragraphs they will fit into, and which ideas will be left out altogether. This should not take more than ten minutes, for in an examination you have no time to waste.

It is for you to decide how detailed you plan should be. If you are good at writing, and have had plenty of practice, probably only a few brief notes will be necessary, but if you are not, then you may require a more de tailed plan. But remember that even the best writers need to make some notes if they are going to produce a well-organized piece of writing.

A probable title to this passage might be ______.

A．The Importance of Planning in a Composition Exam

B．How to Choose a Topic for Composition

C．The Skill of Note-taking

D．How to Be a Good Writer
