Federal officials and the nation's airline industry have reached an agreement expected to

cut the typical delay from 57 minutes to 46 at Chicago's O' Hare International, the world's most congested airport at the heart of record-setting delays around the USA.

The agreement announced Wednesday marks the third time this year that the government and the airlines have cut flights at O' Hare in the hope of bringing the problem under control. The Federal Aviation Administration said the latest strategy will cut delays about 20%.

Transportation officials conceded that the agreement, which takes effect Nov. 1, is an interim step toward solving the problem.

"O' Hare will no longer be the place where on-time schedules come to die," said Federal Aviation Administration Administrator Marion Blakey, who signed the agreement with Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta.

The agreement is in effect until April 30 and is expected to reduce delays at other airports by 5%, Mineta said. O' Hare's severe congestion causes a ripple effect on flights across the country.

United and American airlines agreed to cut 37 flights usually scheduled at O' Hare between noon and 8 p. m. — 20 by United and 17 by American. The two carriers operate 86% of O'Hare's flights. Other airlines agreed not to add more flights.

Since November, when the two carriers added flights in a competition for passengers, O' Hare has suffered record delays. In May, O' Hare had 14,500 late flights, more than ever recorded at a U. S. airport. The effect of the latest flight reductions will be even greater for the most severe delays—those of two hours or more. Severe delays should drop by 34%, the FAA said.

Even though O' Hare handles more flights than any other airport in the world, the demand to fly there is greater than its six runways can handle. Chicago has proposed expanding the airport, but the expansion would not be completed for at least 10 years.

Richard Marchi, senior vice president with the Airports Council International, said the government needs to develop long-term solutions that will prevent a repeat of the chaos that developed at O' Hare.

"The fear is that (the agreement) runs to April 30, 2005," Marchi said. "Then the question is, what happens?"

Mineta and Blakey said they will use the coming months to seek additional solutions at O' Hare.

The government initially demanded that airlines reduce the number of scheduled flights into O' Hare to no more than 86 per hour. But in a compromise with the airlines, up to 88 flights are allowed.

A provision of the agreement allows smaller airlines to add up to three additional flights to promote competition.

United and American had shifted or cut a total of 105 flights before Wednesday's deal. Both airlines released statements saying they approved of the cuts.

The agreement received mixed reviews from travelers' groups.

"This is going to be a benefit for travelers throughout our aviation system," said Caleb Tiller, a spokesman for the National Business Travel Association, which represents corporate travel managers. "Business travelers in particular are going to benefit from this new arrangement at O' Hare. "

Air Travelers Association. corn issued a statement denouncing the cuts.

"These 37 flight losses will reduce service at O' Hare and run the risk of raising fares for passengers," said the group's president, David Stempler.

"This will create O' Hare Lite, which is less filling and costs more. "

The agreement reached by Federal officials and nation's airline industry will last ______ .

A.five months

B.six months

C.seven months

D.eight months

听力原文:Beloved Ladies, Gentlemen and Friends,

First of all, let me on behalf of our company to extend a warm welcome to the members of the American Delegation who have been invited to this country and this company.I think that your visit will promote the rapid development of our business relations. Since my return from the United States last September, our exchanges have been very fruitful. Your visit in Tianjin shows a further step in our co-operation. Mr. Smith has done a lot in this respect. I'm very honoured to host the dinner for you all tonight.

We really appreciate Mr. Smith's effort in coming to Tianjin to talk about the feasibility of a joint venture. We look forward to the success of our mutual collaboration. Chian has a long way to go to realize its modernization. Thank you for your offer to help us create a stronger China in the near future. We'd like to promote our cooperation and make it profitable for both sides through the spirit of mutual benefit and equality and supplying each other's needs.

Now, please join me in toasting to the health of Mr. Smith, to everybody else present, to the success of our relationship. Cheers!

President Gao,

Our Chinese friends,

My colleagues,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is a special honour to me to have a chance to speak on behalf of all the members of our delegation. I would like to express our sincere thanks to president Gao for inviting us, and for all the hard work and thought you have given to the arrangements for our visit. We are also grateful for such a marvelous dinner tonight.

I hope that we shall all enjoy the business exchanges and friendly contact in the following days. Every member of our delegation hopes that the rate of trade between the two countries will increase in the future through our mutual efforts. And I think that only by free flow of visitors can trade develop satisfactorily. Of course, no one would be foolish as to think that just one visit will work wonders.

I am very impressed by the hospitality and warmth by which you have received us. You must have had a very busy time making all the preparations. We are especially thankful to you for arranging the meeting for us and for everything that you have done on our account.

I hope that Mr. Gao and our other Chinese friends will be able to visit our country in the future, so that we will have the chance to be host and return some of your kindness.

Quite apart from business contracts, these meetings will surely help enhance the understanding and friendship between us. Well begun is half done, as we say. I hope this visit will pave for further business relations between our two countries.

In closing, I would like to invite you to join me in a toast to the trade and friendship between us, to the health of Mr. Gao, to the health of our Chinese friends, to the health of my colleagues! Cheers.

You will hear a report about Vie Vitale, a manufacturer of health and beauty products.
