Canada over criticism for the alleged mistreatment of a Canadian citizen detained in a Saudi prison.

Saudi Arabia's Al-Riyadh newspaper quotes Saudi officials as saying the trip has been called off because of what they call "unacceptable interference" by Canadian officials and some of Canada's newspapers.

The dispute is over 43-year-old William Sampson, who is being held in Saudi Arabia in connection with two bomb explosions in November. The blasts killed a British citizen and injured several other people in the capital, Riyadh. Mr. Sampson could face the death penalty if found guilty of murder.

Canada's National Post newspaper recently quoted a close friend of the prisoner as saying Mr. Sampson had been taken to a hospital on May 17 with a crushed vertebra, foot injuries and scratched wrists. Saudi officials have said the injuries were the result of a suicide attempt.

The Canadian government rejected the torture allegations after receiving a report from its ambassador who visited Mr. Sampson with a European doctor in a hospital on Monday.

What crime is William Sampson charged with？

A．Bombing.

B．Arson.

C．Rape.

D．Burglary.

听力原文： The King of Saudi Arabia has removed Sheik Ahmed Zaki Yamani as Saudi Arabia's Oil Minister. Yamani had held the job for twenty four years. Although it's been rumored for a few years that Yamani was out of favor with the King, his firing shocked the oil market. Yamani's replacement, Hicham Niza, is Saudi Arabia's Planning Minister. Oil traders in New York on the mercantile exchange said they had no idea that Yamani was about to be fired, but they took it as a sign that world oil prices would start to rise. Yamani had been leading OPEC in a price war over the past ten months. Saudi Arabia, the largest producer in the cartel, had raised its production and created an oil glut. That lowered the price of oil by 50%. Analysts say Saudi Arabia's King Fahd supposedly had enough of the price war and of Yamani. King Fahd has said that he would like to see the price of oil rise to about ＄18 a barrel.

On hearing Yamani's firing, on traders in New York were

A．annoyed.

B．ecstatic.

C．surprised.

D．gloomy.
