听力原文: Ten years ago a small boy fell off his bicycle because he wanted to look behind. This gave Billy Morgan, a British businessman, a new idea. He designed a bicycle helmet with a built-in minor.
Mr. Morgan launched the product six months ago, and it now has sales of 27,000 and sells in twelve countries from Korea to Finland. The target for the second year is for sales of nearly 1 million pounds.
But it wasn't easy for Mr. Morgan to become successful. He had problems when he tried to interest UK manufacturers in making the helmet. It cost Mr. Morgan 1 million pounds of his own money to develop the helmet for the mass market.
Mr. Morgan found a helmet-maker in France. He worked with French consultants to make the design better for mass production, and spent £ 450,000 on preparing the French plant to make the helmet.
Now he plans to do more research and development. He wants to manufacture other designs of rearview helmets for motorcycling, skiing and horse-riding.

听力原文: Palestinian rockets fired from the Gaza Strip crashed into the battered Israeli border town of Sderot. The Islamic militant group Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack, in which a 36-year-old Israeli man was killed when his car took a direct hit. He was the second Israeli fatality in the past two weeks, during which time Palestinian militants have fired more than 230 rockets at Israel. The attack brought a stem warning from Prime Minister Ehud Olmert at the weekly Cabinet meeting in Jerusalem. "There is no immunity for anyone involved in terror," Mr. Olmert said, hinting that the leaders of Hamas could be targeted. "We will decide when, how and to what extent we will act," he said. Mr. Olmert spoke hours after Israel launched a fresh wave of air strikes on Hamas targets in Gaza. About 50 Palestinians, most of them militants, have been killed in the raids which began 12 days ago. Hamas says it is absurd to talk about a truce while Israeli air strikes continue. And in the wake of the deadly rocket attack, Israel's offensive shows no sign of letting up.
According to the news, who claimed responsibility for the rocket attack?
A.A 36-year-old Israeli man.
B.Palestinian militants.
C.Israel's offensive.
D.Hamas
