Directions: For Questions 6-10, you will hear a passage. Use not more than 3 words for each answer. You will hear the recording twice. You now have 25 seconds to read the sentences and the questions below.
听力原文: Chester L Migden, a lawyer whose work for the Screen Actors Guild helped to establish the principle of paying actors for repeat showings of' the television programs, feature films and commercials they appear in -- a practice that produces nearly $1 billion today -- died on Sunday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 78. Born in New York on May 21,1921, Mr. Migden graduated from Columbia [,aw School in 1947 and became a staff attorney for the National Labor Relations Board in New York. He soon joined the Guild in Las Angeles.
As recently as the 1970s, when the weekly minimum wage for actors was about $1,200, they received little or no compensation for multiple usage of their appearances. In contract negotiations, Mr. Migden argued that actors should receive a fair share of the revenue generated not only by free television or first-time theatrical usage but by reruns and supplemental markets like video cassettes and disks, and basic and pay cable television. Ken Orsatti, the Guild's national executive director, said that the contracts negotiated under Mr. Migden, who served as director from 1952 to 1982, "improved the lot of actors a dozen times over."
After retiring in 1982, Mr. Migden became executive director of the Association of Talent Agents, a position he held until his retirement in 1996.
Chester L. Migden was born in ______.

Questions are based on the following passage.
The housing market exited the trauma ward (急救室) in 2013. Prices rose as muchas 30 percent in some areas, bidding wars broke out and the foreclosure rate (丧失赎取权率 ) halved from its peak. But the patient is by no means fully recovered. In fact, fiveyears after the housing bubble collapsed, one in five mortgage holders still owe more thantheir home is worth.
At its worst in early 2012, almost 16 million Americans were under water on theirmortgage. In some of the hardest hit neighborhoods, such as Las Vegas, Phoenix, andDetroit,70 percent of homeowners owed more than the value of their home. Since then,rising home prices have pushed 5 million homeowners back into the black, but 11 millionout of a total of 50 million mortgage holders remain in what financial folks call a negativeequity (负资产) position. "This is the new normal in the housing market," said SvenjaGudell, director of economic research at Zillow, an online real estate database, "We willhave high levels of negative equity for some time."
With mortgage rates rising and expected to hit 5 percent late next year, manyeconomists predict a more subdued (萧条的 ) housing market in 2014. That means pricegains should moderate and it could take a while longer for homeowners who are underwater to recover. Out of the 75 million homeowners in America, about one in seven staytrapped in their homes, unable to move or sell.
Housing prices have gone up and down over the decades, but until the financial crisisof 2008, it was rare to owe a bank more than a home is worth. For all of the 19th centuryand even during the Great Depression, this was virtually unheard of.
Until all the negative equity disappears, the housing market won"t be back to normal.It looks like we still have years to go.
