听力原文: Three men are found smashing boulders with iron hammers.When asked what they are doing,the first man says,"Breaking big rocks into little rocks."The second man says,"Feeding my family."The third man says, "Building a cathedral."
Today's column focuses on the third man,the one who saw each hammer blow as contributing to the construction of a cathedral,a home for human dreams and sacred aspirations.To many of us who study and consult in occupational and organizational contexts,we would call what this third man does meaningful work.
I have come to see meaningful work as consisting of three central components.First,the work we do must make sense; we must know what's being asked of us and be able to identify the personal or organizational resources we need to do our job.Second,the work we do must have a point;we must be able to see how the little tasks we engage in build,brick-by-brick if you will,into an important part of the purpose of our company.Finally,the work that we do must benefit some greater good;we must be able to see how our toil helps others, whether that's saving the planet,saving a life,or making our co-workers'jobs easier so that they can go home and really be available for their families and friends.A growing body of evidence shows that meaningful workers are happy workers,more committed workers,and, in some tantalizing ways,better workers.
What does the second man answer when asked what they are doing?
A.Breaking big rocks into little ones
B.Feeding his family.
C.Building a cathedral.
D.Doing construction works.

听力原文: In many places in the world today, the poor are getting poorer while the rich are getting richer, and the programs of development planning and foreign aid appear to be unable to reverse this trend. Nearly all the developing countries have a modern part, where the patterns of living and working are similar to those in developed countries. But they also have a non-modern part, where the patterns of living and working are not only unsatisfactory, but in many cases are even getting worse.
What is the typical condition of the poor in developing countries? Their work opportunities are so limited that they cannot work their way out of their situation. They are underemployed, or totally unemployed. Some of them have land, but often too little land.
Many have no land, and no prospect of ever getting any. There is no hope for them in the rural areas, and so they drift into the big cities. But there is no work for them in the big cities, of course no housing. All the same, they flock into the cities because their chances of finding some work appear to be greater there than in the villages. Rural unemployment then becomes urban unemployment.

A.The poor places are getting richer.
B.The rich places are getting richer.
C.The poor places are getting poorer.
D.Both B and C.

听力原文:M: Ow!That hurts!
W: What happened? Did you cut yourself?.
M: Yes—on the edge of this paper. How can such a little cut hurt so much? I' m not even bleeding, but my finger really hurts.
W: You know, I read something about that. It turns out that a little cut on a finger can hurt a lot more than a big cut somewhere else.
M: Why? That doesn't make any sense.
W: Actually, it does. There are more nerve endings in your hands than almost anywhere else in the body, and it' s the nerve endings that allow you to feel pain.
M: I guess that' s true.
W: Also, a little cut like yours won' t damage the nerve endings, just irritate them. If they were damaged, you' d feel less pain, but the wound could be more serious.
M: So I suppose I should be happy my finger hurts so much?
W: Right. Now go get yourself bandage.
M: Why? You just told me it' s not serious.
W: It' s not, but it does seem to be bothering you. Putting a bandage over the cut will keep the skin from drying and will help keep the skin together. If the skin stays together, the nerve endings won' t be exposed, and the cut will hurt less.
(24)
A.How much the cut hurt.
B.How deep the cut was.
C.How easily he was cut.
D.How concerned the woman was.

The Lure of a Big City Vacation
[From the Tower of London to Paris' Eiffel Tower, historic landmarks and one-of-a-kind attractions have long lured travelers to the world's great cities.]
"It becomes, at least for some people, a kind of pilgrimage in the sense that you want to finally see the Statue of Liberty and it's in New York and you have to go to New York to see it," said Witold Rybczynski, a professor of urbanism at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
"There isn't a second version of it anywhere else."
This sort of unique attraction, combined with the excitement d city life and a concentration of cultural opportunities, fine dining, shopping and accommodations brings some visitors back again and again.
"There's such a vast range of riches in a small, pretty easily navigated space. That's definitely what attracts me to cities," said Don George, global travel editor for Lonely Planet Publications.
Few large cities have remarkable natural scenic attractions to build upon, so they tend to rely on heritage and cultural sites to set themselves apart, according to Douglas Frechtling, a professor of tourism studies at George Washington University.
Visiting cities gained popularity in the 18th and 19th centuries, as the landed aristocracy in Britain increasingly sent their sons — and occasionally their daughters — to round out their education on a Grand Tour of the celebrated sights and cities of continental Europe, Frechtling said. America's nouveau riche adopted this tradition in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and later, less well-heeled travelers joined the tourist ranks.
"In terms of what we might call mass tourism or middle-class tourism, that really didn't develop until after World War II," Frechtling said. "It was just too difficult and too expensive to travel."

Now the allure of big cities seems as potent as ever. The number of visitors to central Paris in 2004, for example, is estimated at 25 million, according to the Paris convention and Visitors Bureau.
New York City welcomed 39.9 million visitors to the five boroughs in 2004 and is expecting a tally of nearly 41 million for 2005, according to NYC & Company, the city's official tourism marketing organization.
Getting acclimated to the pace and logistics of a large metropolitan area can take a little time.
"I recommend when you get somewhere, you either ask a taxi driver to take you around or you get on one of the tourist buses that allow you to pay a one-day fee and travel in the circuit as often as you want, so that you get a visual idea of the city," said Ruth Jarvis, series editor for Time Out Guides, in a phone interview from her London office.
Whether you're visiting a big city for the first or 15th time, a good map is essential. Even locals carry maps to navigate London, Jarvis said, so there's no shame in standing on a street comer peering at yours.
In some cities, local volunteer guides will help guests discover the destination, Jarvis said. In New York, Big Apple Greeters offers this service.
Jarvis recommends walking as much as possible because it gives you more opportunities to discover the local culture and get a sense of a city's layout. When using public transportation, Jarvis suggests taking buses over subways for the same reason. "If you're just a little bolder and you get buses, then you're above ground and you can pick up where you are so you have the confidence to make your own explorations a little later."
Most cities offer discount transportation cards that can save you motley if you anticipate frequent bus or subway trips. Keep your hotel's address on hand and have the hotel give you the number of a reputable cab company to keep with you, Jarvis suggests. Renting a cell phone in an international de
