听力原文: Between ten and midnight the United States is politically leaderless -- there is no center of information anywhere in the nation except in the New York headquarters of the great broadcasting companies and the two great wire services. No candidate and no party can afford the investment on election night to match the news-gathering resources of the mass media; and so, as every citizen sits in his home watching his TV set or listening to his radio, he is the equal of any other in knowledge. There is nothing that can be done in these hours, for no one can any longer direct the great strike for American power; the polls have closed. Good or bad, whatever the decision, America will accept the decision -- and cut down any man who goes against it, even though for millions the decision runs contrary to their own votes. The general vote is an expression of national will, the only substitute for violence and blood. Its decision is to be defended as one defends civilization itself.
There is nothing like this American expression of will in England or France, India or Russia. Only one other major nation in modern history has ever tried to elect its leader directly by mass, free, popular vote. This was the Weimar Republic of Germany, which modeled its unitary vote for a national leader on the American practice. Out of its experiment with the system it got Hitler. Americans have had Lincoln, Wilson, two Roosevelt's. Nothing can be done when the voting returns are flooding in: the White House and its power will move to one or another of the two candidates, and all will know about it in the morning.

His candidate also "will meet the highest standards of intellect, character and ability and will pledge to faithfully interpret the Constitution and laws of our country," the president said.
"Our nation deserves, and I will select, a Supreme Court justice that Americans can be proud of," he said, without revealing the name that many are anxious to hear.
Bush also discussed his recent meeting with Senate leaders of both parties to discuss the nomination and confirmation process fro' a replacement for Sandra Day O'Connor. The first woman to serve on the high court, O'Connor announced July 1 that she is stepping down after 24 years.
Much of the retirement speculation—before and after O'Connor's surprise announcement—had focused on Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, who is 80 and ailing with thyroid cancer.
Rehnquist tried to dampen expectations this week, issuing a statement in which he said his retirement is not imminent and that he would continue on the court "as long as my health permits."
The reason why Sandra Day O'Connor resigned from the Supreme Court was
A.that she failed to please either party in the Congress
B.that she had served too long a time in the Court
C.that she was 80 years old and ailing with thyroid cancer
D.not mentioned
But the mass production of goods resulting from the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century made person-to-person selling less efficient than it previously was for most products. The mass distribution of goods that followed the development of rail and highway systems made person-to-person selling too slow and expensive for almost all companies. At the same time, however, a growth in mass communication occurred first in newspapers and magazines, then radio and television that made mass selling possible. Advertising, then, is merely selling or salesmanship functioning in the paid space or time of various mass communication media.
The objective of any advertisement is to convince people that it is in their best interests to take an action the advertiser is recommending. The action may be to purchase a product, go to a showroom to try the product, use a service, vote for a political candidate, make a contribution, or even to join the army. Like any personal salesperson, the advertisement tries to persuade. The decision is the prospects.
While advertising brings the economies of mass selling to the manufacturer, it produces benefits for the consumer as well. Some of those economies are passed along to the purchaser so that the cost 5f a product sold primarily through advertising is usually far less than one sold through personal salespeople. Advertising also brings people immediate news about products that have just come on the market. Finally, advertising pays for the programs on commercial television and radio and for about two thirds of the cost publishing magazines and newspapers.
Person to person sale failed to meet the need ______.
A.when the Industrial Revolution started
B.when goods began to be produced in great quantities
C.because trains replaced men in carrying goods around
D.as attention was shifted from distribution to production

Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
Good jobs are scarce these days, with roughly 15 million Americans out of work and a national unemployment rate of 10 percent. President Obama tried to address the jobs crisis in his State of the Union by proposing a $ 33 billion tax credit for small businesses to hire new workers and by calling unemployment the most pressing item on his schedule.
Apart from the federal government's response to the jobs crisis, economists predict that certain industries such as health care, green technology, education and government, will grow in the coming years. Each week we search several job board--including Indeed, Vault and Yahoo to help us track the best job listings with salaries of $100 000 or more. For this week's picks, we've presented jobs in new emerging fields:
The first one is Wind Energy Sales Director. Are you fascinated by the sight of wind power generator, or simply committed to conserving energy? SKP USA, a Pennsylvania-based company that manufactures, sells, and maintains wind power generators, is looking for a senior-level sales executive with an MBA and an engineering background. Pros (优点): You'd get the chance to work on a wide range of renewable energy projects, including solar and tidal. Cons (缺点): The job would require the candidate to travel about 70 percent of the time, both home and abroad.
The second position is Sustainability Director. AECOM offers design, planning, engineering, and consulting services for urban design, city planning, environmental performance, and policy projects. Newsweek ranked AECOM one of the top 500 greenest companies in 2009. This position in D.C. oversees climate change and sustainability projects for clients that include federal, state, and city governments. Pros: The company has offices in 100 countries. Cons: Enthusiasm is not enough. They want to hire a self-promoter with published articles and a great speaker.
The third recommended position is Response Management Specialist. Don't let this funny job title fool you. This position for the Defense Intelligence Agency. a support agency for the Department of Defense, involves mapping out how the agency is going to respond to disasters, including chemical or nuclear threats. Pros: As a federal employee, you'd get a pension and excellent benefits. Cons: You have to be willing to undergo a thorough background check.
The fourth position is Government Contract Manager. Somebody needs to track all of the money that governments and corporations spend on various contracts, enter the contract manager. This candidate needs to be organized, diplomatic, and analytical enough to recognize problems before they arise. Pros: You can be based in Washington, D.C., Reston, Va., San Diego, or Los Angeles. Cons: You need a minimum of six years of contract-management experience and must be willing to travel 50 percent of the time.
