听力原文： Kenya was a beautiful country inhabited by different groups Of people, some farmers, some herds men, a few hunters, when the English arrived. The main motivations for. colonizing Kenya were economic—to take away resources; and strategic—to take control before the Germans or some other European "power" did. However, the English were a mixed group of people like everyone else. Manx English people were concerned about the welfare of Kenyans and worked under colonialism. These were civil servants, missionaries and some farmers, business and professional people who worked hard to develop Kenya both before and after independence.

Before Kenya was such a pleasant, easy place to live, another group of people came to live in Kenya, known generally as the settlers. The first settlers tended to be the social outcasts from wealthy families in England, though later they were joined by a wider group of English population. In particular, English soldiers who fought in the First World War were given farms in Kenya. This is a fantastic idea—to give a way land which does not belong to you in the first place. The people who actually owned the land tended either to be pushed off or to become servants and agricultural labors for the people who arrived from England.

听力原文：W: Hi, Jim. Have you ever read the works of Ernest Hemingway？

M: Oh, I like Hemingway very much, his style, the Hemingway theme with a Hemingway hero.

W: You are really my bosom friend. Yes. Hemingway wrote all his life about one theme, that is "grace under pressure". The world Hemingway created is a world of violence, despair and death, a world in which man cannot find the meaning of life.

M: Yes. I have the same feeling with you. But his hero is not a coward, a weeper. In face of inevitable defeat, keeping a stiff upper-lip means a kind of victory.

W: So he often has stoic endurance. Even in defeat he can maintain some dignity; in spite of defeat he continues to fight with the despairing courage, which enables him to behave like a man, to assert his dignity in face of adversity. From him we can see the spirit of the noble--Hemingway type of individualism.

M: It is a kind of tragic beauty. I am deeply touched by their spirit, even though it's futile to fight.

W: At least they give us a stir, give us an inspiration: never give up.

M: Yes. Hemingway is a myth in his own times, and a myth in American literature. But he ended his life to the whole world's shock.

W: He died a strong man, a hero. Few have such a despairing courage, and he did this with "grace under pres sure".

What is the conversation mainly about？

A．The writing skills of Ernest Hemingway.

B．The life and profession of Hemmingway.

C．The hardship suffered by Hemingway.

D．Hemingway's theme and writing style.

听力原文： A federal jury in New York will resume deliberations Wednesday in the trial of f

our men accused in the 1998 bombings of U. S. embassies in Africa. Before adjourning for the day Tuesday, jurors asked for several documents and exhibits for review. They have already asked twice to reexamine evidence against Waddih el-Hage, who faces life in prison if convicted. Prosecutors say he established a terrorist cell for Saudi exile Osama bin Laden in Nairobi, the scene of one of the two bomb attacks. Defense lawyers dispute this and say their client was only a longtime business associate of Osama bin Laden, who has been indicted in the United States for orchestrating the embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania that killed 224 people. The case went to the jury last week after months of arguments from federal prosecutors and defense lawyer. Jurors have also requested to view copies of anti-American letters prosecutors say were written by Osama bin Laden. The jurors must make more than 600 decisions before they can reach a verdict on the four accused.

A federal jury in New York will resume deliberations _________ in the trial of four men accused in the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa.

A．Wednesday

B．Tuesday

C．a week later
