听力原文: Lee Harvey Oswald, a 24-year-old former Marine, was being transferred from police headquarters to the county jail. The man accused of murdering the US President, John F. Kennedy, has himself been shot dead in a Dallas police station.
The event was being covered live on television, and Americans across the country watched in astonishment as a man -- later identified as Jack Ruby, a Dallas nightclub owner -- stepped forward, drew a gun and shot Mr. Oswald at point-blank range.
An ambulance rushed Mr. Oswald to the Parkland Hospital -- the same hospital which had fought to save President Kennedy's life two days earlier -- but he died within minutes of his arrival.
He was arrested about an hour after the murder, carried out as the President's motor queue passed through the Dealey Plaza in Dallas.
He was initially accused of the murder of a policeman, JD Tippit, who appears to have recognized him and approached him just 45 minutes after the killing of the President. Soon after, Mr. Oswald was also charged with the President's murder.
But, police gave no explanation of how Jack Ruby came to be in the police headquarters. The building had been under heavy guard after several calls making threats against Oswald's life.
Ruby came to Dallas from Chicago 10 years ago. He runs a downtown club, and is said to have links with organised criminals. Police said Ruby had told them, "1 didn't want to be a hero -- I did it for Jacqueline Kennedy. "They said he wanted to spare the president's wife accused of killing her husband.
(30)
A.Lee Harvey Oswald.
B.Jack Ruby.
C.JD Tippit.
D.The president's wife.

听力原文: In 1863, President Lincoln made a law. This law said that only the United States government could print money. The law gave us the kind of money we have today. At that time, people could take their money to banks. At the banks they could get a certain amount of silver in exchange for the money. In 1873, the banks began to give gold for paper money. The idea worked if too many people didn't go to the banks at the same time. Banks didn't always have enough gold. The government stopped this about 60 years ago. We can no longer go to banks to get gold for our money. The government will not exchange anything for paper money.
The value of money we use today is not the same as animals or food. It is not the same as an amount of silver, gold, or copper. The way people used money a long time ago may have been easier than it is to day. They know what it meant. Today the money in our pocket means different things at different times.

Her nomination this past week was criticized by some in the president's Republican Party, who question the former-Democratic lawyer's conservative credentials.
Ms. Miers has never been a judge, and has spent most of her career in corporate litigation. She does not have a wide collection of legal opinions on Constitutional issues indicating where she stands on politically-divisive social topics, including abortion.
In his weekly radio address, President Bush tried to reassure conservatives that Ms. Miers understands the restrained and modest role of judges to interpret laws as written, not as he or she might wish they were written.
"I chose Harriet Miers for the Court both because of her accomplishments, and because I know her character and her judicial philosophy," said President Bush. "Harriet Miers will be the type of judge I said I would nominate: a good conservative judge. She shares my belief that judges should strictly interpret the Constitution and laws, not legislate from the bench."
President Bush says her work as White House counsel has involved complex matters of constitutional law, serving as the chief legal advisor during regular meetings of the National Security Council and handling sensitive issues of relations between the White House and Congress.
Why do some Party members reject Bush's nomination?
A.Because they think Ms. Micra is inexperienced.
B.Because they don't believe Ms. Miers is conservative.
C.Because Ms. Miers is a woman.
D.Because Ms. Miers is a Democrat.

Representatives of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association argued that the Federal Aviation Administration has not adequately prepared for the wave of retirements expected to hit the industry in coming years.
Nearly half of the nation's controllers—about 7,100—may retire during the next nine years, according to a U. S. Department of Transportation report. That's more than three times the number of controllers who have left in the past eight years.
"If the FAA does not hire large numbers of controllers immediately, there will be a necessary, significant increase in delays and, unfortunately, maybe even a reduction in the margin of safety," said Mark Sherry, alternate Western Pacific regional vice president of the Air Traffic Controllers Association.
Sherry, a controller at San Francisco International Airport, joined other local union representatives at a news conference in Fremont—part of a nationwide NATCA public awareness drive leading up to a U. S. Senate Appropriations Committee vote next month on FAA funding.
The association and a bipartisan group of senators is calling on the committee to authorize $14 million for the FAA to begin hiring, saying 1,000 new controllers a year are needed to help stem the expected flood of retirees—those hired after 12,000 striking workers were fired by former President Reagan in 1981.
But FAA officials say only about one-quarter of controllers traditionally retire when they first become eligible, and there won't be a mass exodus of controllers at any one time.
FAA spokesman Donn Walker said the agency expects to see a large number of retirements when eligibility peaks in 2007, but denied there is a crisis. The agency will be ready to deal with the issue, he said.
"There is no staffing crisis, and there is no shortage of air traffic controllers," he said.
FAA Administrator Marion Blakey said in June that the agency would present Congress with a plan by December to deal with the expected retirements, and Walker flatly denied NATCA' s gloomy predictions.
"They (NATCA representatives) have a crystal ball, I guess, that I don't have. They're making all these sort of wild predictions that don't have any basis in fact... We have the world's safest aviation system, and we will continue to have the world's safest aviation system. We will not do anything to jeopardize safety, despite what some people may tell you. "
However, Jeff Tilley, president of the NATCA local at the Oakland Air Route Traffic Control Center in Fremont, said the center already is facing a staffing crunch.
"At Oakland Center, we do not have a looming staffing crisis—we are in the middle of one," Tilley said. "We have already had days when we have been forced to curtail services and limit the efficiency of airline operations due to staffing shortages. "
The center, which is responsible for 18.8 million square miles of airspace, has 191 fully trained controllers and 57 trainees—20 short of the 268 it is authorized to have, Tilley said. Twenty-nine of the controllers are eligible for retirement and could leave at any time, and 25 more are scheduled to transfer.
In the past eight years, about ______ controllers have retired.
A.14,200
B.7,100
C.3,550
D.2,300

Survey Finds Many Women Misinformed about Cancer
Sixty-three percent of American women think that if there's no family history of cancer, you're not likely to develop the disease, a new survey found.
In fact, most people who develop cancer have no family history of cancer, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) (美国妇产科医师学会), Which sponsored the survey.
"Too many women are dying from cancer," Dr. Douglas W. Laube, ACOG's immediate past president, said during a Friday teleconference. "An estimated 200,070 women will die in the U. S. this year, and over 600,078 women will be diagnosed with cancer. The results of this survey found a worrisome (令人担扰的) gap in women's knowledge about cancer."
Based on the findings, ACOG is increasing its efforts to educate women about cancer and the need for regular screening tests.
Although the survey found many misconceptions (错误观念) about cancer, 76 percent of women surveyed did say they feel knowledgeable about how they can reduce their risk of the disease.
However, only 52 percent said they were doing enough to reduce that risk. And 10 percent said they hadn't done anything in the past year to lower their risk. Seventeen percent said they wouldn't change their lifestyles, even if changes would lower their cancer risk.
Many women said they were afraid to undergo screening out of fear of finding cancer. Twenty percent said they didn't want to know if they had cancer.
In response to these findings, ACOG will launch on Oct. 29 a new website - Protect & Detect: What Women Should Know about Cancer. The guide is designed to help women to take charge of their health and improve their understanding of their risk of cancer - and the lifestyle. steps they can take to cut that risk.
Many American women have a poor knowledge of cancer.
