听力原文: Hello. I would like to welcome everyone here on this fine May morning to Sun System's employee of the year banquet. As you already know, a 30-percent increase in sales records has been unfeasible until this point. We thank every one of you who has put all your hearts and energy into this company and helped bring consumers' firm faith in our products. All this would not have been possible without you. So, as president of Sun Systems, I have arranged a moment to recognize some outstanding employees. Please give a warm round of applause for the sales manager and my co-presenter Larry Kim!
When is the talk being given?
A.Spring.
B.Summer.
C.Fall.
D.Winter.
Since I bought a computer last month, a new world has opened up before
me, a world that reaches far beyond my immediate surrounding. 【S1】______
Every morning, the first thing I do after open my eyes is to access 【S2】______
the Internet to look at the top new stories of the day. In the evening, I will 【S3】______
again sit on my computer and roam the world. The Internet brings me 【S4】______
lively World Cup football games and the terrorist attack on the World Trade 【S5】______
Center. It also enables me to communicate with my friends via email.
The other day I got a message from a old classmate whom I hadn't heard 【S6】______
of for years. She got my email address just by searching the website of my 【S7】______
university! In addition helping us keep up old ties, it also brings me new 【S8】______
friends with whom I meet virtually in chat rooms. We exchange views on
topics of interest and pour our hearts out to one another like strange friends. 【S9】______
So, instead of isolating us from one another, the Internet serves to widen 【S10】______
distance, and helps to bring friends closer
【S1】
Upon learning this news, Nancy and I had to decide whether as private citizens we would keep this a private matter or whether we would make this news known in a public way.
In the past Nancy suffered from breast cancer and I had my cancer surgeries. We found through our open disclosures we were able to raise public awareness. We were happy that as a result many more people underwent testing.
They were treated in early stages and able to return to normal, healthy lives.
So now, we feel it is important to share it with you. In opening our hearts, we hope this might promote greater awareness of this condition. Perhaps it will encourage a clearer understanding of the individuals and families who are affected by it.
At the moment I feel just fine. I intend to live the remainder of the years God gives me on this earth doing the things I have always done. I will continue to share life's journey with my beloved Nancy and my family. I plan to enjoy the great outdoors and stay in touch with my friends and supporters.
Three passions have governed my life: the longing for love, the search into knowledge, and the unbearable __1__pity for the suffering of mankind.I have sought of love, first, because it brings ecstasy--ecstasy so great because I would often have __2__sacrificed all the rest of my life for a few hours for this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness--that terrible loneliness which one shivering consciousness __3__looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, then, because in the __4__union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven where saints and poets __5__have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might
seem too good for human life, this is what--at last--i have found.
With equal passionate I have sought knowledge. I have wished __6__to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine...A little this, but not much, I have achieved. __7__Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible,led upward toward the heavens. But it always pity brought __8__me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors,helpless old people--a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty and pain make a mock of what __9__human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,and I too suffer. This has been my life. I have found it worth of living, and would gladly live it again if the chance __10__were offered me.

I shrugged off the apparition. Birds come and go. Usually they're pigeons, not chickens, but like other birds, this one had wings and it would probably use them. Or so I thought.
The protagonist of this story is known simply as the chicken. How it came to a small backyard here, remains a matter of conjecture. The chicken made its first appearance next door, at the home of a multitude of cabdrivers from Bangladesh. My wife, Nancy, and I figured they had bought the chicken and were fattening it for a feast. That hypothesis fell into doubt when the chicken hopped the fence and began pacing the perimeter of our yard with a proprietary air.
Eating it was out of the question. As a restaurant critic and an animal lover, I subscribe to a policy of complete hypocrisy. Serve fish or fowl to me, but don't ask me to watch the killing. Once I meet it, I don't want to eat it.
Nancy and I next theorized that the chicken had escaped from a live-poultry market about four blocks away and was on the run. Our hearts went out to the brave little refugee. We had to save it.
Passage Three
My husband and children feel very happy to live here. They can't see that we live on a dirty street in a dirty house among people who aren't good. They can't see that our neighbors have to make happiness out of all this dirt. I decided that my children must get out of this. The money that we've saved isn't nearly enough.
The McGaritys have money but they are so proud. They look down upon the poor The McGarity girl just yesterday stood out there in the street eating from a bag of candy while a ring of hungry children watched her. I saw those children looking at her and crying in their hearts; and when she couldn't eat any more she threw the rest down the sewer (下水道). Why? Is it only because they have money? There is more to happiness than money in the world, isn't there?
Miss Jackson who teaches at the Settlement House isn't rich, but she knows things. She understands people. Her eyes look straight into yours when she talks with you. She can read your mind. I'd like to see the children will be like Miss Jackson when they grow up.
