听力原文： How many of you drink cola？ Nearly everybody. Did you know that cola started out not as a soft drink but as a cure for headache back in the late 1800's？ John S. Pamberton, a drugist from Atlanta, had experimented for many months trying to find a cure for the common headache. He worked in his back yard, mixing and heating different combinations of oils and flavors until he found one that seems promising.
Pamberton bottled the mixture and began selling it in drugstores as a concentrated syrup that the customer had to mix with water before drinking. Cola's transformation from a concentrated syrup to a carbonated soft drink came about quite by accident. One day, a customer came into a drugstore complaining of a headache and asked for a bottle of cola syrup. He wanted to take it right away. So he asked the clerk to mix the medicine while he waited. The clerk, instead of walking to the other end of the counter to get plain water, suggested mixing the syrup with soda water. The customer agreed, and after drinking it, re marked how good it tasted. The clerk continued offering the mixture and carbonated cola grew in popularity. Today carbonated colas are sold in most countries around the world. And although they no longer contain the ingredients to kill headache, they are still 'very refreshing.
(33)
A．A recipe for a soft drink.
B．The medicinal effects of cola.
C．The history of cola.
D．Softdrink production.

M: Well, it's a long process. We start off by deciding who the official candidate for each political party will be. Usually, a person first announces that he or she wants to run for President. If you want to be your party's official candidate, you need to raise money and gather support from party members. Candidates usually campaign to let people know what they represent. They give speeches, meet with community leaders, and participate in debates. This process lasts for several months, and then the party members vote to decide who they want m back in the election.
W: Do you have to be rich to become President？
M: You don't really have to be rich to become President, but it helps. Usually rich people have more connections and can raise money more effectively. Most of our Presidents in the past have been relatively rich men, but not all of them.
W: So, how do ye6 make the final decision？
M: After several months of television ads, interviews, speeches, and kissing babies we have the presidential election. Citizens go to a voting canter and cast their ballot for the candidate of their choice.
W: You sounded a little cynical when you said "kissing babies". What did you mean by that？
M: Well, it's quite common for politicians to have themselves photographed kissing babies. It's their way of trying to appear in touch with the average American, but it looks really phony. These days, becoming President is all about acting. The candidates try to appeal to so many different people that they end up abandoning their own opinions. Sometimes, it feels like the parties are ail the same.
W: How many parties are there？
M: We have many political parties in the United States, but most of them are quite small. There are really only two with significant power, the Democrats and the Republicans,
(20)
A．Raising money.
B．Gathering support from others.
C．Giving speeches.
D．Choosing the official candidate for each political party.

Knitting
My mother knew how to knit (编织), but she never taught me. She assumed, as did many women of her generation, that knitting was no longer a skill worth passing down from mother to daughter. A combination of feminism (女权主义) and consumerism (消费主义) made many women feel that such homely accomplishments were now out of date. My Grandmother still knitted, though, and every Christmas she made a pair of socks for my brother and me, of red wool. They were the ones we wore under our ice skates (冰鞋), when it was really important to have warm feet.
Knitting is a nervous habit that happens to be productive. It helped me quit smoking by giving my hands something else to do. It is wonderful for depression because no matter what else happens, you are creating something beautiful. Time spent in front of the television or just sitting is no longer time wasted.
I love breathing life into the patterns. It's true magic, finding a neglected, dog-eared old book with the perfect snowflake design, buying the same Germantown wool my grandmother used, in the exact blue to match my daughter's eyes, taking it on the train with me every day for two months, working enthusiastically to get it done by Christmas, staying up late after the stockings are filled to sew in the sleeves and weave in the ends.
Knitting has taught me patience. I know that if I just keep going, even if it takes months, there will be a reward. When I make a mistake, I know that anger will not fix it, that I just have to go back and take out the stitches (针脚) between and start over again.
People often ask if I would do it for money, and the answer is always a definite no. In the first place, you could not pay me enough for the hours I put into a sweater. But more important, this is an activity I keep separate from such considerations. I knit to cover my children and other people I love in warmth and color. I knit to give them something earthly that money could never buy.
Knitting gives my life an alternative rhythm to the daily deadline. By day I can write about Northern Ireland or the New York City Police Department and get paid for it, but on the train home, surrounded by people with laptops, I stage my little rebellion. I take out my old knitting bag and join the centuries of women who have knitted for love.
Why did many women feel that knitting was out of date？
A．Because their mothers didn't teach them.
B．Because they were influenced by feminism and consumerism.
C．Because they were feminists.
D．Because they were consumerists.

W: Thank you, Pat.
M: Now Chris, you've been working for the Canadian Export Development Agency for three years now. What does your job involve？
W: Well, my particular brief is Asian section—especially Japan and China. Now we work with Canadian firms explaining how they can start up or develop their export trade in these countries. One of my main responsibilities is to set up trade fairs so that our companies can exhibit their goods in these other countries.
M: Right. Sounds like a very demanding job. How do you cope with the pressure？
W: At first I didn't. It was very difficult because there were so many new things to learn and I found especially that negotiating was the hardest. It was something that didn't come to me naturally, but you get used to it.
M: What's the secret？
W: Well, you have to be organized, especially well organized, but it does help of course that we're part of a team and when the going gets tough we give each other a lot of support and help each other out. That's important. I've just recently come back from Beijing where we sponsored an electronics fair there. We had a total of 55 stands and we had over 200,000 visitor.
M: Wow, it's amazing!
W: Yeah. It was very successful but it did represent twelve months of really intensive preparation and, as you can guess, a lot of difficult negotiations.
M: Twelve months？! I mean is that normal Chris？
W: Well it does vary a lot. Beijing was a particular large trade fair and it did take that kind of time. But some of our smaller fairs, Canton for example, we had a small computering exhibition there in 1999. That took five months of planning. That's ,not a hard and fast rule, but basically about six months, depending on the kind of product being, exhibited, the network of contacts we already have in the host country, the location, things like that.
M: Well I see that, Now tell me Chris, you've just got back from Beijing. Where to next？
W: My next trip is to Tokyo in a couple of weeks. We're setting up a fair there to promote Canadian fashions and design. Fashion and design's new market for me and also for the agency. It's going to be a big challenge for us, but I'm really excited about it.
