听力原文：When Iraqi troops blew up hundreds of Kuwaiti oil wells at the end of the Gulf Wa

听力原文： When Iraqi troops blew up hundreds of Kuwaiti oil wells at the end of the Gulf War, scientists feared an environmental disaster. Would black powder in the smoke from the fires circle the globe and block out the sun？ Many said "No way. Rain would wash the black powder from the atmosphere.' But in America air-sampling balloons have detected high concentrations of particles similar to those collected in Kuwait. Now the fires are out, and scientists are turning their attentions to yet another threat: the oil that did not catch tire. It has formed huge lakes in the Kuwaiti desert. They trap insects and birds and poison a variety of other desert animals and plants.

The only good news is that the oil lakes have not affected the underground water resources. So far the oil has not been absorbed because of the hard sand just below the surface. Nothing, however, stops oil from evaporating. The resulting poisonous gases are choking nearby residents. Officials are trying to organize a quick clean-up, but they are not sure how to do it. One possibility is to bum the oil and get those black powder protectors ready.

听力原文： After meeting with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfield and senior military office

rs, President Bush praised what be indicated is a new approach to gaining control of Iraqi cities. He said progress in training Iraq's new army makes it possible.

"It used to be that after we cleared out a city, there were not enough qualified Iraqi troops to maintain control. And so what would happen is the terrorists would wait for us to leave and they would try to move back in, and sometimes with success. Now the increasing number of more capable Iraqi troops allows us to hold onto the cities we have taken from the terrorists."

President Bush also said Iraqi forces are taking a larger role in many military operations in the country. He said the operation now ending to gain control of the northwestern city of Najaf was the first to involve more Iraqi troops than foreign forces. And he reported that coalition and Iraqi efforts will shift to the west to secure the large, sparsely-populated Province of Al-Anbar. The president said Iraqi forces will take control there.

A．Defense Secretary
