When A. Philip Randolph assumed the leadership of the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, he began a ten-year
battle to win recognition from the Pullman Company, the
largest private employer of Black people in the United
(5) States and the company that controlled the railroad
industry’s sleeping car and parlor service. In 1935 the
Brotherhood became the first Black union recognized by a
major corporation. Randolph’s efforts in the battle helped
transform. the attitude of Black workers toward unions and
(10) toward themselves as an identifiable group; eventually,
Randolph helped to weaken organized labor’s antagonism
toward Black workers.
In the Pullman contest Randolph faced formidable
obstacles. The first was Black workers’ understandable
(15) skepticism toward unions, which had historically barred
Black workers from membership. An additional obstacle
was the union that Pullman itself had formed, which
weakened support among Black workers for an
independent entity.
(20) The Brotherhood possessed a number of advantages,
however, including Randolph’s own tactical abilities. In
1928 he took the bold step of threatening a strike against
Pullman. Such a threat, on a national scale, under Black
leadership, helped replace the stereotype of the Black
(25)worker as servant with the image of the Black worker as
wage earner. In addition, the porters’ very isolation aided
the Brotherhood. Porters were scattered throughout the
country, sleeping in dormitories in Black communities;
their segregated life protected the union’s internal
(30) communications from interception. That the porters were a
homogeneous group working for a single employer with
single labor policy, thus sharing the same grievances from
city to city, also strengthened the Brotherhood and encour-
aged racial identity and solidarity as well. But it was only
(35) in the early 1930’s that federal legislation prohibiting a
company from maintaining its own unions with company
money eventually allowed the Brotherhood to become
recognized as the porters’ representative.
Not content with this triumph, Randolph brought the
(40)Brotherhood into the American Federation of Labor, where
it became the equal of the Federation’s 105 other unions.
He reasoned that as a member union, the Brotherhood
would be in a better position to exert pressure on member
unions that practiced race restrictions. Such restrictions
were eventually found unconstitutional in 1944.
According to the passage, by 1935 the skepticism of Black workers toward unions was______
A．unchanged except among Black employees of railroad-related industries.
B．reinforced by the actions of the Pullman Company’s union
C．mitigated by the efforts of Randolph
D．weakened by the opening up of many unions to Black workers.
E．largely alleviated because of the policies of the American Federation of Labor.
听力原文：AGENT: Good morning. Ace Accommodation; how can I help you？
SYLVIA: Good morning. I'd like to organize some short stay accommodation on the Gold Coast, please.
AGENT: Certainly. Who am I speaking to？
SYLVIA: Miss Mackinlay. Sylvia Mackinlay.
AGENT: Could you spell your family name for me please？
SYLVIA: It's M-A-C-K-I-N-L-A-Y.
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
AGENT: Good morning. Ace Accommodation; how can I help you？
SYLVIA: Good morning. I'd like to organize some short stay accommodation on the Gold Coast, please.
AGENT: Certainly. Who am I speaking to？
SYLVIA: Miss Mackinlay. Sylvia Mackinlay.
AGENT: Could you spell your family name for me please？
SYLVIA: It's M-A-C-K-I-N-L-A-Y.
AGENT: Thank you. And your first name is Sylvia？
SYLVIA: Yes.
AGENT: Is that with an ' i' or a ' y' ？
SYLVIA: A 'y'—the old fashioned way. That's S-Y-L-V-I-A.
AGENT: Thank you, Miss Mackinlay. Now, just for our records, can you tell me what country you live in？
SYLVIA: Of course—it's England actually.
AGENF: I thought so. Now, when are you coming？
SYLVIA: Well, at the moment we're planning on arriving on July 26th.
AGENT: Ooh, the 25th, that's the last day of the public holiday and it might be difficult to find something available on that date.
SYLVIA: No, we're coming on the 26th of July.
AGENT: Oh, well that's fine then. We'll have lots of good places vacant by then although you wouldn't be able to move in until late afternoon because our cleaning crew will need time to get everything ready for you.
SYLVIA: That suits us—our flight won't get in until early evening anyway.
AGENT: How many of you will there be？
SYLVIA: Just my sister and myself.
AGENT: And how long do you intend to stay for？
SYLVIA: Oh, only a couple of weeks, we'd like to stay longer but we'll have to get back to work.
AGENT: So, you're not coming on business then？
SYLVIA: No, it's just a holiday. Why？ What difference does that make？
AGENT: Oh, you'd be surprised. Business people have different needs you know, wireless internet, even fax machines and photocopiers.
SYLVIA: No, we won't need any of that stuff—we'll be coming to relax, and get away from all that kind of thing.
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
AGENT: Good. Now, what exactly are you looking for？ A house, a duplex or an apartment？
SYLVIA: What's a duplex？
AGENT: Oh, that's what you might call a townhouse or a unit--you know, two houses semi-detached on the same property.
SYLVIA: Oh, I see. I think an apartment will suit us just fine.
AGENT: And how many bedrooms？ Two？
SYLVIA: One or two—it depends on the size. My sister and I don't mind sharing if it's a decent size bedroom with two beds.
AGENT: Well, that makes it easier.
AGENT: And car parking？ Will you require a lock-up garage？ They're a little harder to find with an apartment.
SYLVIA: We'll have a hire car and as far as I know there are no regulations concerning car parking. I think as long as it's not parked on the street and it's secure there shouldn't be any problems.
AGENT: Okay. Now, I'm assuming you want something by the beach？
SYLVIA: Yes, that's the idea. We want to enjoy the surf, sand and sunshine.
AGENT: Okay, but before we settle on an area and discuss your price range, I'll need to know about other necessities.
SYLVIA: What do you mean？
AGENT: Well, for example, do you want to be close to a shopping mall or the casino or the fun parks？ Or do you want to be in a complex with or near a swimming pool？
SYLVIA: No, none of that really matters to us but we'd like to have reasonable access to the motorway so that we can drive up to Brisbane to visit friends there.
AGENT: Well, there are quite a few lovely small towns to choose from. There's Main Beach which is north of Surfers' Paradise or Mermaid Waters which is a bit further south or Palm Beach which is quite a bit further south？
SYLVIA: Mermaid Waters sounds delightful. Is it close to the motorway？
AGENT: Well, not really, the M 1 is actually closest to Palm Beach and prices are likely to be more reasonable there too.
SYLVIA: That's settled then, Palm Beach it is.
AGENT: Now, if you'll just give me your email address, I can send you information about the town and lots of photos.
SYLVIA: Well, my email is S-M-A-C 13 at hotmail dot com.
AGENT: And, one final thing, how much are you looking to spend per week on accommodation？ Do you want something at the luxury end of the market—you know, newly redecorated, great views, all the mod cons ...
SYLVIA: Not necessarily. Could we get something clean, comfortable and reasonable for $1200 a week？
AGENT: Could you stretch that to 1500 a week？ I've got a property in mind that you'll absolutely love but you'd have to go to 1500—1200 wouldn't cover it.
SYLVIA: Alright, then. But that's our top limit.
AGENT: Good. I'll get on to this straight away and there should be something in your inbox shortly.

Sharing Economic Losses Through Insurance
Each minute of the day or night, everyone faces a possible financial loss. A home may be destroyed by fire, damaged by lightning, or leveled by a tornado(龙卷风). Personal belongings may be stolen: A car may be damaged in an accident, or it may cause injury to people and property. In come may be lost as the result of the death, disability, or unemployment of a family wage earner. The chance that a loss of this kind may occur is called an economic risk.
Savings provide one way to take care of financial losses. But savings are not the answer to large losses. The best way to guard against large financial losses is through insurance.
Insurance Is a Plan for Sharing Risks and Losses
Ted Mather and four of his friends have a rock group called Quint. Each member of the group owns a valuable instrument. Ted's bass alone cost $900. If an instrument were stolen or damaged, it would be a serious, financial loss for its owner.
Suppose, however, that the members of the group agree to share any losses that occur. For ex ample, if Ted's bass is stolen, each member of the group would contribute $180 to replace it. In other words, they would share the loss. This is the principle of insurance. Persons facing the same risk share the losses that occur among them.
From an insurance standpoint, however, an informal agreement like that made by Quint would not provide much protection. Why？ The reason is that all the instruments might be stolen or damaged at the same time. The group rehearses in the Mathers' garage and sometimes leaves their instruments there between rehearsals. They also travel together in a van when they perform. Suppose that a thief broke into the garage and stole 'all the instruments. What if the garage caught fire.9 What if all instruments were damaged in an accident on the way to or from a concert？ Each member of the group would have to pay one-fifth of the total loss. For some members, this might be more than the amount of their own actual loss.
The purpose of insurance is to provide protection against financial loss at a reasonable cost. This is possible only when the cost of insurance is shared by many people who face a similar risk. But not all of them are likely to have actual losses at the same time.
You Buy Insurance from Insurance Companies
Almost 4,800 companies in the United States are in the business of providing insurance protection. These businesses are called insurance companies. Because most insurance companies operate on a big scale, they provide a way for large numbers of people to share their losses.
When you buy insurance, you enter into a written agreement with the insurance company. This agreement is called a policy. The person who buys insurance is the policyholder. According to the agreement, the insurance company promises to pay the policyholder if certain types of losses occur. The policy states exactly what losses the company will pay for. For this protection, the policyholder makes regular payments to the insurance company. Each payment is called a premium(保险费). The premiums paid by all policyholders are used to pay those who have losses. In this way, a loss that might result in great financial hardship for one person or household is shared by many people. Be cause only a portion of those insured will actually have losses, premiums are small compared to the a mount of protection provided.
Many Kinds of Risks Can Be Insured
Insurance can provide protection against almost any kind of loss. Singers may insure their voices. Photographers may insure their negatives. The owner of a home freezer may insure against food loss in case of power failure. A business owner can insure his or her place of business. A business owner can also insure against a loss of profits during a shutdown following a fire or damaging accident.
