In its latest update on global employment trends, the agency says projections of the number on unemployed people this year range from 210 million to nearly 240 million people. The report warns that 200 million poor workers are at risk of joining the ranks of people leaving on less than 2 dollars per day in the past 3 years. The Director-General of the International Labor Organization Juan Somavia notes that some countries have taken measures to address the effects of the global crisis. However, he points out that many countries have not done so. And based on past experiences, it takes 4-5 years after economic recovery for unemployment to return to pre-crisis levels. Mr. Somavia says the International Labour Organization is proposing a global job agreement to deal with unemployment. “It's key objective is to place the center of recovery efforts, measures will generate higher levels of employment and provide basic social protection for the most vulnerable.” 1、What is the news report main about? 2、What does Juan Somavia, Director-General of the International Labour Organization say?

Unit 5 Dreams B2U5_NCE_VLS_ListenSpeak_Listen1 Let's look at the different kinds of sleep. They're quite different. In passive sleep, the body is at rest. The heart slows down. The body processes become very slow. We move very little, and the brain becomes very inactive. If a person continues to sleep, she or he enters a new stage, a more active stage. The body goes through several changes: The brain temperature rises, the amount of blood in the brain increases, the body becomes very, very still, and the brain goes from being very inactive to being active. And as the brain becomes more active, the eyes begin to move rapidly. Eye movement is a sign of another change—that of a person dreaming. Throughout the night, people alternate between passive and active sleep. The brain rests, then it becomes active, then dreaming occurs. This cycle is repeated several times throughout the night. During eight hours of sleep, people dream for a total of one and a half hours on the average. Doctors have studied the sleep cycle and have found that everyone dreams—in fact, everyone needs to dream in order to stay healthy. It appears we need both kinds of sleep. We need passive sleep in order to rest our bodies. We need active sleep in order to dream. And dreaming helps us to rest our minds. B2U5_NCE_VLS_ListenSpeak_Listen2 Part I (Jennifer is talking to an interviewer about her nightmare.) Jennifer: It was always the same. Always. I was in a house, a strange house, and I knew somehow that I shouldn't have gone in. But there was some strange force pulling me. There were some stairs... very steep stairs... and I started to climb them, and... and then, suddenly I fell. Then when I was at the bottom of the stairs, I suddenly realized that there was someone... or something else in the house with me, and that these eyes had been watching me all the time, and... I knew then that something terrible... was going to happen to me... that I was going to be punished... because I'd done something I shouldn't have done. I didn't know what it was, but I knew it was wrong, very wrong. Then I could hear it... whatever it was in the house with me... coming closer in the darkness, because everything was dark, you see, and it came closer and closer. And I was scared... and there was nothing, nothing I could do to avoid it... nothing. I was trapped! Trapped in that dark house at the bottom of the stairs. There was no way out.
