听力原文: We can make progress in the Six-Party Talks if North Korea is ready to return and return seriously to them. Now, sometimes there is a tendency to think that international problems can always be traced back to questions of what America should do. We see this thinking in the current debate about North Korea. There are those who say that North Korea is behaving the way that it is because of something that America either did or did not fro. That misses the point. Over the course of many years and throughout many diplomatic conditions with North Korea, there has been one constant. It is North Korea's leaders, not those in Washington, who have made the fundamental choices, really the tragic choices about the condition of their country. Those choices have led to deprivation and oppression and despair for the North Korean people. And the North Korean people deserve better.

Dear Ms. Montague,
As you are probably aware, the recent smoking ban has had a (150) impact on our business. Our sales have dropped 40 percent in the last six months. Though we do not expect this to be a long-term concern for our business, we don't expect sales to return to normal until the summer when our patio opens for the tourist season.
Due to the loss in business we regret (151) you that we are laying off all of our hosts and hostesses for the winter and spring. With business being so slow our servers can handle the task of greeting and seating customers on their own.
You are (152) to two week's severance pay, which will be paid in full on your next paycheck.
Please come in for any scheduled shifts next week.
Thank you for your hard work and dedication at Pino's Pizzeria. Please apply again for our next summer season.
Sincerely,
Franco Bellini

Tropical storm Arlene followed a path similar to that of devastating hurricane Ivan, but it packed much less punch. Shortly after coming ashore, Arlene sustained winds of 50 miles per hour, down from 70 miles an hour earlier in the day. Escambia County spokeswoman Sonya Smith says despite some beach erosion and heavy rainfall, it appears the Pensacola area experienced little additional damage.
We actually anticipated a lot more road flooding; we actually anticipated a lot more problems than what we've had. We actually expected debris even to be a problem, and we just have not had that. In the meantime, Smith says evacuated residents are being allowed to return home tonight.
Where the Tropical storm makes landfall?
A.Escambia County.
B.Along the Gulf Coast.
C.Pensacola area.
D.Along the Mexican Gulf Coast.
It was such a chunk of foam that doomed Columbia and its seven-member crew by puncturing its wing during liftoff. NASA spent two-and-a half-years and millions of dollars to prevent another occurrence, and the July incident forced the agency to ground the shuttle fleet again until it could resolve the issue once and for all.
As a result, NASA will return three external fuel tanks to the manufacturer for analysis and redesign. Agency human space flight chief William Gerstenmeier says this means a shuttle cannot lift off before March, but emphasizes that March is only a planning target.
"We shouldn't be thinking of the launch date as March. We put a planning target out there and now we're going to do a detailed engineering assessment and analysis and start seeing if that makes sense. Then when a couple weeks have gone by and we've got enough intelligence together, then we can pick a launch date."
On Wednesday, NASA was accused of rushing Discovery to launch in July, skipping safety improvements that led to the repeat foam shedding. The accusation came from seven members of a much larger group of experts who had overseen NASA's shuttle safety modifications after the Columbia tragedy.
NASA had planed to launch its space shuttle ______ in September.
A.Discover
B.Atlanta
C.Columbia
D.Atlantis
