ity that Israeli Prime Minister Sharon's proposed withdrawal from Gaza and parts of the West Bank offers them.

听力原文： Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon backed up his call m for an immediate ceasef

ire following eight months of fighting with the Palestinians by ordering Israel’s army to cease all pre-emptive strikes against them.

A senior aide to Palestinian President Yasser Ararat termed the truce offer "a lie" and said yesterday a Palestinian "status of self-defence" would continue as long as Israel occupied land in the west Bank and Gaza strip.

US President George W. Bush welcomed Sharon’s statement White House spokesman Ari Fleischer told reporters in Washington on Tuesday. Fleischer added the United States "would welcome a similar statement" from the Palestinians.

Sharon called for a ceasefire at a news conference on Tuesday in which he rejected a total freeze of Jewish settlement activity, part of a plan by a US-led committee for ending lsraeli-Palestinian violence.

"I’propose to our neighbours that we work together to reach an immediate ceasefire and hope the Palestinians will answer the call postively," Sharon said at the news conference."

"This is only a manoeuvre by Sharon’s government aimed at allevating international pressure on Israel, which was condemned for excessive use of force," countered the Arafat aide, Ahmed Abdel-Rahman.

Israeli soldiers came under Palestinian fire in several parts of Gaza late on Tuesday and a roadside bomb exploded or its border with Egypt, which Israel patrols under interim peace deals, the army said. The soldiers returned fire. Israeli- li army spokesman Ron Kitrey said that, under the new guidelines, soldiers would "protect themselves and prevent terror attacks, "but would not initiate any fighting with Palestinians.

he said they would require government approval to enter areas under Palestinian control or carry out reprisal at- tacks, a change from a policy where Defence Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer had given field commanders a free hand to launch incursions.

At least 444 Palestinians, 87 lsraelis and 13 Israeli Arabs have been killed since the Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation erupted in late September after peace talks stalled.

Palestinians say that ______.

A．Israeli Prime Minister is sincere to call for ceasefire

B．Sharon’s appeal to stop ongoing violence is a "lie"

C．they believe this time will soon witness ceasefire

D．they feel relieved America supports ceasefire

听力原文：M: Come in, Sharon and take a seat.

W: Thanks.

M: So, where do we start？ Should we begin with a look at last year and then go on from there？

W: Fine.

M: So, how do you feel you've done in your first full year with the company？

W: Overall, I think I've done quite well. I feel quite confident now about what I do.

M: And are you happy with your duties？

W: Well, the job is exactly as it was advertised in the paper, so there have been no surprises. I like dealing with customers and I don't mind answering the phone and preparing invoices. Sometimes it's a bit boring typing long price lists, but then everyone has to do it.

M: That's true. Does anything make your job difficult？

W: The computer. To begin with, I was slow because I didn't know the program, but now I get annoyed when the computer just stops working for no reason. I often sit looking at the monitor for minutes, not sure whether it is still working or not. I think the network is too old for our software and we need some new machines.

M: But apart from the computer, is there anything else you would like to change？

W: Er, let me see. I'd like the authority to issue credit notes without having to ask you first. You're often away on business and sometimes customers ring up with a complaint. And if we can't contact you, then we can't deal with the complaint properly. It's a bit embarrassing at times.

M: Yes, but some of our customers always find something wrong and try and get a credit note with every order. You can't believe everything they say, you know. What about your objectives for the future？

W: Well, I need to get to know the customers a bit better and maybe try to make fewer mistakes. But I think the most important thing is to increase my product knowledge, so I don't get embarrassed when customers make enquiries.

M: Don't worry, you'll learn all that in time. What I'd like to ask you about now is…

•You will hear a conversation between a head of department and an employee.

•For each question (23-30), mark one letter (A, B or C) for the correct answer.

•After you have listened once, replay the recording.

The biggest problem with the computer is that

A．it is difficult for her to know the program well.

B．it regularly stops working.

C．the monitor is too small.

Sharon Keating was worried about her kids when she got a divorce. Her daughter says, "I wa

s feeling... like down and sad and even though I did't really show it."

Judith Wallerstein says problems from divorce can last many years. They can show up when the kids are adults. And the kids have their own trouble. Wallerstein studied 93 children over a generation. The results can be found in her book.

She says that children of divorce are more likely to have problems with drugs. They are far more likely to seek therapy. About 40 percent of them avoid marriage themselves. When they do marry, fail at nearly twice the usual rate. It is hard for them to trust. They are afraid of failing.

Critics say Wallerstein had too few children in her study. They think that Wallerstein stresses too much from a small study. Other things may be the cause of the kid's problems. The study does not compare kids from divorced families with kids from "healthy" families.

Wallerstein's families divorced a generation ago. Times have changed. People feel different a bout divorce. Today programs like Kid's Turn try to reduce some of the effects of divorce with family advice. Talking about their feelings helps the kids get through it. Since they know more about the problems, maybe the kids will be able to handle it.

Which word can best describe the kids from divorced families according to Paragraph 1？

A．Offensive.

B．Relieved

C．Depressed

D．Prejudiced

听力原文：When my son Ryan saw a T-shirt on sale for 5 dollars marked down from 8, he told

听力原文： When my son Ryan saw a T-shirt on sale for 5 dollars marked down from 8, he told me, "We'll save 3 dollars (32)if we buy it now. " He looked at me in surprise when I answered, "We'll save 5 dollars if we don't hay it at all. "

Today's children get lots of messages and values from television and from friends. They are encouraged to buy things they don't need. (33)What they need is an understanding of the value of the dollar. How do children learn the important facts of life？ Most schools do not teach them. It is up to parents to help their children.

To learn about money children need to have some. Early on, parents often handed oat money on an as-needed basis. But experts say paying certain amount of money each week is the best way to teach children the meaning of money, how to use it and how to plan.

But how much should the parents give？ Some experts suggest giving one dollar for each year of age, but (34)Dr. Olivia Mellan disagrees: " I think 5 dollars a week is too much for a 5-year-old, and 15 dollars is probably not enough for a 15-year-old." What's right depends on three things: the child's level of development, how much you can give, and what you expect him to pay for.

However much you give them, children will soon feel they need more. But Sharon M. Danes, a professor at the University of Minnesota, insists that children don't need a raise each year. "There's no lesson to be learned when children expect an increase just because they are a year older," she says. (35)"What they should learn is how to be good money earners, savers and spenders."

(33)

A．To save 3 dollars.

B．To buy it at once.

C．To ask 3 dollars from the parent.

D．To save 5 dollars.
