听力原文: Everyone knew the final decision would be close. And when the official announcem

ent from the International Olympic Committee came out from Singapore, Londoners exploded with exuberance.

Some 10,000 people crammed into London's Trafalgar Square for the important decision. All eyes were focused on a giant screen there as IOC President Jacques Rogge made the historic announcement. They stood in stony silence until he uttered the single word they were waiting to hear, "London."

The spontaneous reaction was one of joy and excitement.

Among those in the square, was British Olympic double Gold medallist, Kelly Holmes, who spoke on British television.

"It is absolutely amazing," she said. "I mean, really the feeling of it because the Olympic spirit is so passionate, you know. And I think the country is just going to do wonders for everybody and especially like the youth and them. I just think it is going to change our country around so much."

After two days of final persuasion in Singapore, Prime Minister Tony Blair had just flown to Scotland where he will host the Group of Eight summit at Gleneagles. There, he underlined his joy that the British bid had been successful.

"We have got a great chance now to develop sport in our country, to have a fantastic Olympic games and then to leave a legacy for the future," he said.

A big part of that legacy will be the revitalization of the economically depressed east part of London.

It will mean jobs for many increased business opportunities and a transformed landscape long after the games are over.

Winning the bid took two years, seven more tough years lie ahead, as London works to get every last detail right for the 2012 games.

That hard work will start almost immediately, hut for right now, the British capital is pausing to celebrate. The games are returning here for the first time since 1948 and Londoners are in a party mood.

Where did the London people crowd waiting for the announcement?

A.Hyde Park

B.Downing Street

C.Times Square

D.Trafalgar Square

听力原文:In December, we accepted a very large contract which we all knew would mean every
one having to do extra hours, whether here or at home, to fulfil it. I realise that your particular circumstances make this very difficult to deal with, but that's also true of many of your colleagues. I'm afraid I'm going to have to say that I can't do anything about it at the moment. If I did, everyone else would suffer.

听力原文: In the local newspaper of my community recently there was a story about a man named Virgle Spears. He lived in a small town about 40 miles from my home. He had served five years in a New York prison for robbing a restaurant. When he returned to his family, Mr. Spears couldn't find a job. Everyone knew he had been in prison and nobody trusted him. Finally in desperation, he calmly walked into a local barbershop where he was well known, pulled out a gun and took all the money the barber had. Up to this point it had been a fairly routine crime. But then something unusual happened. Mr. Spears didn't try to get away. He got into his car, drove slowly out of his town and waited for the police. When they caught him, he made only one request. He turned to arresting policemen and said, "Would you please ask the court to put my family on welfare just as soon as possible?"

B.His unpopular character.

听力原文: Jenny never wanted to be a national public figure. All she wanted to be was a mother and a homemaker. But her life was turned upside down when a motorist distracted by his cell phone, ran a stop sign and crashed into the side of her car. The impact killed her two-year-old daughter. Four months later, Jenny reluctantly but courageously decided to try to educate the public and to fight for laws to ban drivers from using cell phones while a car is moving. She wanted to save other children from what happened to her daughter. In her first speech, Jenny got off to a shaky start. She was visibly trembling and her voice was soft and uncertain. But as she got into her speech, a dramatic transformation took place. She stopped shaking and spoke with a strong voice. For the rest of her talk, she was a forceful and compelling speaker. She wanted everyone in the audience to know what she knew without having to learn it from a personal tragedy. Many in the audience were moved to tears, and to action. In subsequent presentations, Jenny gained reputation as a highly effective speaker. Her appearance on a talk show was broadcast three times transmitting her message to over 14,000,000 people. Her campaign increased public awareness of the problem and prompted over 300 cities and several states to consider restrictions on cell phone use.

What was the significant change in Jenny's life?

A.She became a public figure.

B.She made a successful speech.

C.She had a terrible lesson.

D.She was hurt in the accident.
