Obama's victory appears to have given blacks and other minorities a true national role model. For years, many looked to athletes and musicians for inspiration. As Darius Turner, an African-American high school student in Los Angeles, told The Los Angeles Times, "Kobe doesn't have to be everybody's role model any more."
Recent polls also suggest that Obama's victory has given Americans new optimism about race relations. For example, a USA Today poll found that two-thirds of Americans believe relations between blacks and whites "will finally be worked out". This is the most hopeful response since the question was first asked during the civil rights revolution in 1963.
However, it's still too early to tell whether Obama's presidency will begin to solve many of the social problems facing low-income black communities.
Although blacks make up only 13 percent of the US population, 55 percent of all prisoners are African-American. Such numbers can be blamed on any number of factors on America's racist past, a failure of government policy and the collapse of the family unit in black communities.
It is unlikely that Obama will be able to reverse such trends overnight. However, Bill Bank, an expert of African-American Studies, says that eventually young blacks need to find role models in their own communities. "That's not Martin Luther King, and not Barack Obama," he told The Los Angeles Times. "It's actually the people closest to them. Barrack only has so much influence."
In the opinion of black British politician Trevor Phillips, Obama's rise will contribute more to multiculturalism than to race relations in the US.
"When the G8 meets, the four most important people in the room will be the president of China, the prime minister of India, the prime minister of Japan and Barrack Obama," he told London's The Times newspaper. "It will be the first time we've seen that on our television screens. That will be a huge psychological shift(心理转变) for both the white people and the colored ones in the world."
For years, before Obama was elected president of the US,______.
A．Kobe was the only role model for all the blacks
B．blacks could only find role models on the basketball court
C．minorities in America couldn't find role models in their real life
D．American blacks had no role model who was successful in the political field

Top UK Universities Warn of Damage from Budget Cuts
The heads of 20 of the UK’s most prestigious universities have warned that government plans to cut funding will lead to a higher education "meltdown".
In an article for the Guardian, the Russell Group said the gold standard education they now offer would be reduced to one of bronze or worse. (76) Universities are facing cuts of more than ￡ 900m over the next three years, and fear worse is still to come. The government said funding for frontline teaching was protected.
The strongly worded article by the university heads is intended as a dire warning against forcing universities to bear brunt of the need to slash public after the general election.
It said: " (77) It has taken more than 800 years to create one of the world’s greatest education systems and it looks like it will take just six months to bring it to its knees. Such huge cuts in university budgets would have a devastating effect not only on students and staff, but also on Britain’s international competitiveness, economy and ability to recover from recession.
The Russell Group, which includes Oxford and Cambridge universities as well as Warwick and Glasgow among others, said the upshot would be universities facing the closure of hundreds of courses, with fewer academic staff and bigger classes. (78) It said reports suggested that as many as 30 universities might not survive in their current form. if even minimal funding cuts were introduced.
The article also highlighted higher education spending in other countries. " (79) Nicolas Sarkozy has just announced an investment of 11 billion euros in higher education in France, stating he wants ‘the best universities in the world‘," it said. " Germany pumped a total of 18 billion euros into promoting world-class research alongside university education, while Barack Obama ploughed an additional US $21 billion into federal science spending.
(80) The article calls for ministers to consider reversing proposed cuts and for assurances that no further cuts will be imposed.

听力原文： Brussels
The European Union's competition authorities have been aggressively breaking up monopolies. Airlines, telephone companies and energy companies are just a few of the industries that have been forced to allow their customers to choose to buy their services from someone else. And once competitors appear, the prices paid by customers tend to fall. But that liberalization often put the European Union into conflict with national governments, such as France and Germany, whose natural instinct was to protect industries that employed thousands of people. Now the national governments are rewriting the EU's governing treaty, and the draft version being considered by the EU's leaders in Brussels appears to scale back the commitment to a level playing field.
Baghdad
Iraq is again suffering from severe petrol shortages with many people saying the situation is worse since the U.S. and British invasion. Iraq has the world's third largest reserves of oil, but thousands of people now queue for as long as a day at petrol stations. As the queues have grown, they've become a magnet for insurgent attacks. There were two bombings aimed at petrol queues on Sunday with at least ten people killed and injured. With electricity as unreliable as ever, people need fuel not just for cars but generators at home, essential to power air conditioners to cope with the rising summer heat.
London
Police in London say that they have found a second bomb packed into a car. That car had been parked near another car containing a bomb, which police defused overnight in the heart of London's theater and entertainment district. Peter Clark, the head of London's anti-terrorism command, made the announcement at a news conference just a short time ago. The vehicle was found to contain very similar materials to those that had been found in the first car in Haymarket earlier today. There was a considerable amount of fuel, gas canisters and nails. This, like the first device, was potentially viable and was made safe by the explosives officers.
Tehran
Iran has accused the British government of insulting Islam by awarding a knighthood to the author of The Satanic Verses Salman Rushdie. Parts of the novel—such as the parallels between one of the main characters, a shady, businessman-turned-prophet, and the prophet Mohammed—were judged to be blasphemous. In 1989, Ayatollah Khomeini, who was then leader of Iran, issued a fatwa, condemning the author to death. Mr. Rushdie was then moved from one safe house to another thirty times. The threat to his life only subsided in 1998, when a new, reformist government took power in Iran and gave assurances that it no longer wished him any harm. But the fatwa has never formally been rescinded.
Washington
The Clinton campaign has raised more money in the first three months of this year than all nine Democratic candidates combined in the equivalent period for the 2004 election. The Clinton team made their declaration early, ahead of the legal deadline and ahead of their main rival, Senator Barack Obama. There are suggestions that he too has raised twenty-million dollars instead of fifteen-million dollars analysts previously estimated. If that's confirmed this week, it will cement his position as Mrs. Clinton's main challenger.
Questions:
6.What have been the EU's competition authorities doing？
7.What is the main problem that Iraq faces now？
8.What have police in London done in recent days？
9.What did Iran accuse the British government of？
