听力原文： American restaurant customs are in some ways different from those in other countries. It may be appropriate to get a waiter or waitress' attention by calling, whistling or snapping the fingers while in other countries. In America, you put up a finger to catch his or her eyes. In many parts of the world a fixed service charge is added to restaurant bills. In most American restaurants it is common to tip the waiter or waitress about 15% of the total bill. If the service was very good, you can leave a larger tip. If it was bad, you may leave less. The tip is usually left on the table, but you can also give it directly to the waiter or waitress. In better restaurant you pay your bill through the waiter or waitress. In expensive ones you pay it by yourself. Finally, if you are not able to finish your food, it is perfectly acceptable to ask for a "doggie bag" for the extra food.

If you want to get served in an American restaurant, how can you get your service？

A．By singing at the table.

B．By calling, whistling or snapping the fingers.

C．By putting up one of your fingers to catch the waiter or waitress's attention.

听力原文：Unidentified kidnappers snatched two Norwegian and two Ukrainian oil workers from

a supply ship provisioning oil rigs in Nigeria's petroleum-rich waters, officials said Wednesday. They were taken hostage late Tuesday from the vessel owned by a Norwegian shipping firm, Trico Supply, company spokesman Bjom Endresen said in Norway.

Nigeria confirmed the latest violence against the oil industry in Africa's petroleum giant and said negotiators had been sent to the restive Niger Delta region where most of the crude is pumped.

Endresen said there were 11 other crew members aboard the ship at the time of the kidnapping, but did not give further details. He rejected initial Norwegian media reports that a Briton was among those kidnapped.

Norwegian newspaper VG also reported on its Website that the kidnappers were demanding a ransom.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Frode Overland Andersen said he could not confirm the ransom demand, but said the Norwegian Embassy in Abuja was working with local authorities to get more details on the abductions.

Last week, militants wearing camouflage uniforms took hostage a German oil industry worker, spiriting him away on a boat into Nigeria's troubled oil-rich delta region. A group calling itself the Movement for the Niger Delta People has claimed responsibility for that kidnapping, but police said the group was unknown.

Militants have kidnapped oil workers to bargain for a greater share of the wealth from Africa's largest crude producer. More than 30 have been taken this year, three from the oil-producing hub of Port Harcourt. The militants argue residents remain deeply impoverished, benefiting little from oil wealth while government officials and oil companies grow rich.

Who were taken hostage in the reported kidnapping？

A．Two Norwegians, one Ukrainian, and one Briton.

B．Four Norwegians.

C．Two Norwegians and two Britons.

D．Two Norwegians and two Ukrainians.
