He knew every plant and stone in it, and he could swim across it easily. He was the biggest creature in the pond, so he was very important. When he croaked, the water-snails listened politely. And the water-beetles always swam behind him. He was very happy there.One day, while he was catching flies, a pretty dragon-fly passed by. ‘You’re a very fine frog,’ she sang, ‘but why don’t you live in a bigger pond? Come to my pond. You’ll find a lot of frogs there. You’ll meet some fine fish, and you’ 11 see the dangerous ducks. And you must see our lovely water-lilies. Life in a large pond is wonderful!’‘Perhaps it is rather dull here,’ thought the foolish frog. So he hopped after the dragon-fly.But he didn’t like the big, deep pond. It was full of strange plants. The water-snails were rude to him, and he was afraid of the ducks. The fish didn’t like him, and he was the smallest frog there. He was lonely and unhappy.He sat on a water-lily leaf and croaked sadly to himself, ‘I don’t like it here. I think I’ll go home tomorrow.’But a hungry heron flew down and swallowed him up for supper.Lesson 3Section ITask 1: I Don’t See It That WayA.Conversation 1:1.Choose the best answer for each of the following statements.(1) — (2): ba2.Give brief answers to the following questions.(1)About 6 months ago.(2)It is defective and has ruined 4 of the customer’s favoritecassettes.(3)6 months.(4)10 days ago.3.Blank-filling.(1)bend the rule, make an exception for, make an exception for(2)adding insult to injury, make good on(3)brought it in, hold me to, onB.Conversation 2:1.Multiple choice.

Consequently the explanation must be thathe enjoys playing it.Task 2: DictationSleepIt’s clear that everyone needs to sleep. Most people rarely think about how and why they sleep, however. We know that if we sleep well, we feel rested. If we don’t sleep enough, we often feel tired and irritable. It seems there are two purposes of sleep: physical rest and emotional and psychological rest: We need to rest our bodies and our minds. Both are important in order for us to be healthy. Each night we alternate between two kinds of sleep: active sleep and passive sleep. The passive sleepgives our body the rest that’s needed and prepares us for active sleep,in which dreaming occurs.Throughout the night, people alternate between passive and active sleep. The brain rests, then it becomes active, then dreaming occurs. The cycle is repeated: 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 d one and halfhours on the average.Lesson 4 Section ITask 1: Weather ForecastA.Multiple Choice. 1 — 2: acB.Fill in the following chart.Task 2: The 5 O’clock NewsA.Fill in the following chart.B.Give brief answers to the following questions based on the news report.1.It was closed down by government authorities.2.Testing confirmed that the town had been poisoned be the dumping oftoxic chemicals in town dumps.3.3 weeks ago.4.200.5.Headaches, stomachaches, faintness and dizziness.6.Toxic wastes had leaked into the ground and contaminated the watersupply.7.All the residents should leave the area, until the chemical companyresponsible for the toxic waste can determine whether the town canbe cleaned up and made safe again.C.True of False Questions. 1—6: FTTFFTD.Fill in the following blanks (based on the news report).Teams Playing Result(1) Mexico — France7 to 6(2) Canada — Argentina 3 to 3(3) Italy — Haiti2 to 1(with 30 minutes leftto go)Section IITask 1: What Do You Like for Entertainment?A.Blank-filling.Reporter: Deborah TylerInterviewee: Students of the Brooklyn Academy of Dramatic ArtsMajor: Benny Gross —— pianoKimberley Martins —— modern danceB.Fill in the following chart about how often Benny and Kimberley go tothe eight forms of artistic entertainment.C.Rearrange the forms of artistic entertainment that Benny and Kimberleylike, beginning with the form that each one likes best.Benny: (3)—(1)—(4)—(6)—(2)—(8)Kimberley: (2)—(4)—(1)—(7)—(3)—(8)Task 2: Are You a Heavy Smoker?A.True or False Questions. 1—6: TFTTFTB.Multiple Choice. 1—6: cbcbacC.Blank-filling.Name: Doris BradleySex: femaleAge: 32Amount: 3 packets of 20 a weekFirst experience:Time: at the age of 17Place: at a partyOffered by: boyfriend, not husbandFeeling; awfully grown-upLater: started smoking 2 or 3 a day and gradually increased.Experience of giving up smoking: twice1.

It hasn’t changed in thirty years. The pupils were sitting in the same desks and reading the same books. When are schools going to move into the modern world? Books belong to the past. In our homes radio and television bring us knowledge of the world. We can see and hear the truth for ourselves. If we want entertainment most of us prefer a modern film to a classical novel. In the business world computers store information, so that we no longer need encyclopaedias and dictionaries. But in the schools teachers and pupils still use books. There should be a radio and television set in every classroom, and a library of tapes and records in every school. The children of today will rarely open a book when they leave school. The children of tomorrow won’t need to read and Write at all.M. P.

After two months’ holiday pupils have started a new term. How manyadults get such long holidays? Two to four weeks in the summer and public holidays--that’s all the working man gets. As for the average woman, she’s lucky to get a holiday at all. Children don’t need such long holidays. In term-time they start work later and finish earlier than anyone else.In the holidays most of them get bored, and some get into trouble. What a waste! If their overworked parents were given more free time instead, everyone would be happier.This isn’t just a national problem either--it’s worldwide. Dates may be different from country to country, but the pattern’s the same. Why should children do half as much work and get twice as much holiday as their parents?Lesson 6Section ITask 1: In the Path of the EarthquakeA.True or False Questions. 1—6: FTFTFFB.Map 1 is a layout of the Skinners’ farm.

It’s called sign language. The speaker of sign language uses hand gestures in order to communicate.Basic sign language has been used for a long, long time, but signlanguage wasn’t really developed until about 250 years ago. In themiddle of the 1700s a Frenchman named Epée developed sign language. Epée was able to speak and hear, but he worked during most of his life as a teacher of deaf people in France. Epée developed a large number of vocabulary words for sign language. Epée taught these words to his deaf students. Epée’s system used mostly picture :image signs. We call them picture image signs because the signs create a picture. For example, the sign for sleep is to put both hands together, and then to place the hands flat against the right side of your face, and then to lower your head slightly to the right. This action was meant to show the position of sleep. So we call it a picture image sign.Lesson 7Section ITask 1: Learning a Foreign LanguageA.Multiple Choice. 1—4: bcaaB.True or False Questions. 1—4: FTTFC.Give brief answers to the following questions.1.Albert Humphries.2.Balham, London.3.4 years.4.He has been going to an evening class and has watched quite a lotof the BBC television programmes.5.They use a different book in the class.6.They make the same mistakes as he does.7.It means being able to put together the right groups of words andto say them in a reasonably accurate way.Task 2: In the LibraryA.Multiple Choice. 1—6: bbcacaB.True or False Questions. 1—6: TTFTFTC.Give brief answers to the following questions.1.Round the corner.2.A 20p a day fine for each book.3.Tahiti.4.No.D.Blank-filling.1.5 pounds, you damage them, entitles you, 2 records at a time,everything available, be much more popular than.2.telephone to renew the books.3.we get back, worth all the bother, some paperbacks in the airport,I’ve been such a nuisance.Section IITask 1: Lessoned World CollegesA.Give brief answers to the following questions.1.On the phone.2.Some information about the college.3.Robert Creighton.4.Julian’s friend in Spain.5.English.6.No. There are scholarships for all colleges, but parents will have to pay too.7.Yes.

In order to obtain a licence to drive a taxi in London, candidates have to pass a detailed examination. They have to learn not only the streets, landmarks and hotels, but also the quickest way to get there. This is called “The Knowledge” by London Cab drivers and it can take years of study and practice to get ‘The Knowledge’. Candidates are examined not only on the quickest routes but also on the quickest routes at different times of the day. People who want to pass the examination spend much of their free time driving or even cycling around London, studying maps and learning the huge street directory by heart.Passage 2: The UndergroundTravelling on the London underground (the ‘tube’) presents few difficulties for visitors because of the clear colour- coded maps. It is always useful to have plenty of spare change with you because there are often long queues at the larger stations. If you have enough change you can buy your ticket from a machine. You will find signs which list the stations in alphabetical order, with the correct fares, near the machines. There are automatic barriers which are operated by the tickets.

He knew every plant and stone in it, and he could swim across it easily. He was the biggest creature in the pond, so he was very important. When he croaked, the water-snails listened politely. And the water-beetles always swam behind him. He was very happy there.One day, while he was catching flies, a pretty dragon-fly passed by.‘You’re a very fine frog,’ she sang, ‘but why don’t you live in a bigger pond? Come to my pond. You’ll find a lot of frogs there. You’ll meet some fine fish, and you’ 11 see the dangerous ducks. And you must see our lovely water-lilies. Life in a large p ond is wonderful!’‘Perhaps it is rather dull here,’ thought the foolish frog. So he hopped after the dragon-fly.But he didn’t like the big, deep pond. It was full of strange plants. The water-snails were rude to him, and he was afraid of the ducks. The fish didn’t like him, and he was the smallest frog there. He was lonely and unhappy.He sat on a water-lily leaf and croaked sadly to himself, ‘I don’t like it here. I think I’ll go home tomorrow.’But a hungry heron flew down and swallowed him up for supper.Lesson 3Section ITask 1: I Don’t See It That WayA.Conversation 1:1.Choose the best answer for each of the following statements.(1) — (2): ba2.Give brief answers to the following questions.(1)About 6 months ago.(2)It is defective and has ruined 4 of the customer’s favoritecassettes.(3)6 months.(4)10 days ago.3.Blank-filling.(1)bend the rule, make an exception for, make an exception for(2)adding insult to injury, make good on(3)brought it in, hold me to, onB.Conversation 2:1.Multiple choice.

Consequently the explanation must be that heenjoys playing it.Task 2: DictationSleepIt’s clear that everyone needs to sleep. Most people rarely think about how and why they sleep, however. We know that if we sleep well, wefeel rested. If we don’t sleep enough, we often feel tired and irritable.It seems there are two purposes of sleep: physical rest and emotional and psychological rest: We need to rest our bodies and our minds. Both are important in order for us to be healthy. Each night we alternate betweentwo kinds of sleep: active sleep and passive sleep. The passive sleep gives our body the rest that’s needed and prepares us for active sleep, in which dreaming occurs.Throughout the night, people alternate between passive and active sleep. The brain rests, then it becomes active, then dreaming occurs. The cycle is repeated: 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 d one and half hours on the average.Lesson 4Section ITask 1: Weather ForecastA.Multiple Choice. 1 — 2: acB.Fill in the following chart.Task 2: The 5 O’clock NewsA.Fill in the following chart.B.Give brief answers to the following questions based on the news report.1.It was closed down by government authorities.2.Testing confirmed that the town had been poisoned be the dumping oftoxic chemicals in town dumps.3.3 weeks ago.4.200.5.Headaches, stomachaches, faintness and dizziness.6.Toxic wastes had leaked into the ground and contaminated the watersupply.7.All the residents should leave the area, until the chemical companyresponsible for the toxic waste can determine whether the town canbe cleaned up and made safe again.C.True of False Questions. 1—6: FTTFFTD.Fill in the following blanks (based on the news report).Teams Playing Result(1) Mexico — France7 to 6(2) Canada — Argentina 3 to 3(3) Italy — Haiti2 to 1(with 30 minutes leftto go)Section IITask 1: What Do You Like for Entertainment?A.Blank-filling.Reporter: Deborah TylerInterviewee: Students of the Brooklyn Academy of Dramatic ArtsMajor: Benny Gross —— pianoKimberley Martins —— modern danceB.Fill in the following chart about how often Benny and Kimberley go tothe eight forms of artistic entertainment.C.Rearrange the forms of artistic entertainment that Benny and Kimberleylike, beginning with the form that each one likes best.Benny: (3)—(1)—(4)—(6)—(2)—(8)Kimberley: (2)—(4)—(1)—(7)—(3)—(8)Task 2: Are You a Heavy Smoker?A.True or False Questions. 1—6: TFTTFTB.Multiple Choice. 1—6: cbcbacC.Blank-filling.Name: Doris BradleySex: femaleAge: 32Amount: 3 packets of 20 a weekFirst experience:Time: at the age of 17Place: at a partyOffered by: boyfriend, not husbandFeeling; awfully grown-upLater: started smoking 2 or 3 a day and gradually increased.Experience of giving up smoking: twice1.

It hasn’t changed in thirty years. The pupils were sitting in the same desks and reading the same books. When are schools going to move into the modern world? Books belong to the past. In our homes radio and television bring us knowledge of the world. We can see and hear the truth for ourselves. If we want entertainment most of usprefer a modern film to a classical novel. In the business world computers store information, so that we no longer need encyclopaedias and dictionaries. But in the schools teachers and pupils still use books. There should be a radio and television set in every classroom, and a library of tapes and records in every school. The children of today will rarely open a book when they leave school. The children of tomorrow won’t need to read and Write at all.M. P.

After two months’ holiday pupils have started a new term. How many adults get such long holidays? Two to four weeks in the summer and public holidays--that’s all the working man gets. As for the average woman, she’s lucky to get a holiday at all. Children don’t need such long holidays. In term-time they start work later and finish earlier than anyone else.In the holidays most of them get bored, and some get into trouble. What a waste! If their overworked parents were given more free time instead, everyone would be happier.This isn’t just a national problem either--it’s worldwide. Dates may be different from country to country, but the pattern’s the same. Why should children do half as much work and get twice as much holiday as their parents?Lesson 6Section ITask 1: In the Path of the EarthquakeA.True or False Questions. 1—6: FTFTFFB.Map 1 is a layout of the Skinners’ farm.

It’s called sign language. The speaker of sign language uses hand gestures in order to communicate. Basic sign language has been used for a long, long time, but sign language wasn’t really developed until about 250 years ago. In the middle of the 1700s a Frenchman named Epée developed sign language. Epée was able to speak and hear, but he worked during most of his life as a teacher of deaf people in France. Epée developed a large number of vocabulary words for sign language. Epée taught these words to his deaf students. Epée’s system used mostly picture :image signs. We call them picture image signs because the signscreate a picture. For example, the sign for sleep is to put both hands together, and then to place the hands flat against the right side of your face, and then to lower your head slightly to the right. This action was meant to show the position of sleep. So we call it a picture image sign.Lesson 7Section ITask 1: Learning a Foreign LanguageA.Multiple Choice. 1—4: bcaaB.True or False Questions. 1—4: FTTFC.Give brief answers to the following questions.1.Albert Humphries.2.Balham, London.3.4 years.4.He has been going to an evening class and has watched quite a lot ofthe BBC television programmes.5.They use a different book in the class.6.They make the same mistakes as he does.7.It means being able to put together the right groups of words and tosay them in a reasonably accurate way.Task 2: In the LibraryA.Multiple Choice. 1—6: bbcacaB.True or False Questions. 1—6: TTFTFTC.Give brief answers to the following questions.1.Round the corner.2.A 20p a day fine for each book.3.Tahiti.4.No.D.Blank-filling.1.5 pounds, you damage them, entitles you, 2 records at a time,everything available, be much more popular than.2.telephone to renew the books.3.we get back, worth all the bother, some paperbacks in the airport,I’ve been such a nuisance.Section IITask 1: Lessoned World CollegesA.Give brief answers to the following questions.1.On the phone.2.Some information about the college.。

listen to this练习:高级英语听力Lesson FourteenSection One: News in BriefTapescript1. State Department spokesman Bernard Kalb resigned today be-cause of the Reagan Administration's alleged disinformation cam-paign against Libya. The Washington Post reported last week thatthe administration planted false information about Libya in an effortto destabilize the government of Muammar Ouddafi. Kalb todav didnot confirm or deny that such a campaign tool,-- place, but he said re-ports about it had damaged the credibility of the US. The State De-partment would not comment on Kalb's resignation.2. The State Department todav criticized the Nicaraguan govern-ment for allegedly refusing to grant US officials access to EugeneHasenfus. He's the survivor of Sunday's plane crashinsideNicaragua. State Department spokesman Charles Redmond.'Ourrepresentative was not received by the Nicaraguan government. Andwe view this with the utmost seriousness. The renderingof consularservices is an essential part of the function of an embassy. TheSandinista government has once again taken action to make thatfunction difficult and has raised the question of whether, indeed, aUS embassy can function normally within Nicaragua. We franklycannot accept the delay in granting consular access since theSandinista government has apparently gone to some lengths to pa-rade Mr. Hasenfus before the press, and considering the fact that agovernment spokesman stated clearly last night onAmerican televi-sion that access would be granted.' Meanwhile President Reagantoday denied that the downed plane allegedly carrying arms toContra rebels was operating-under official US orders. He also ac-knowledged that the government has been aware thatprivateAmerican groups and citizens have been helping the anti-govern-ment forces in Nicaragua.Section Two: News in DetailTapescriptLast week the Washington Post reported that top-leveloffi-cials had approved a plan to generate real andillusionary events tomake Libya's Colonel Muammar Quddafi think the United Statesmight once again attack. Bernard Kalb's resignation is the first inprotest of that policy. A similar resignation occurred at the WhiteHouse in 1983 when a deputy quit to protest misleading statementsgiven to the press shortly before the American invasion of Grenada.NPR's Bill Busenberg has more on today's announcement.Bernard Kalb had been a veteran diplomatic correspondent forCBS and NBC before being picked two years ago by Secretary ofState George Shultz to be the Department's chief spokesman, offi-cially an Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs. His brother, MarvinKalb, is still with NBC. Today, Bernard Kalb surprised his formercolleagues in the news media by,quitting over the issue of the admin-istration's disinformation program. Kalb would not confirm thatthere was such a program, but he said he faced a choice of remainingsilent or registering his dissent. And even though the issue appearedto be fading from the news, Kalb grappled with it privately and de-cided he had to act.'The controversy may vaiiish, but when vou are sitting alone, itdoes not go away. And so I've taken the step of stepping down.''rhe State Department has reportedly been involved in thedisinformation issue, but Kalb said his guidelines have always beennot to fie or mislead the press, and he has not done so. Kalb went outof his way today to praise Secretary Shultz, a man, he said, of suchoverwhelming integrity that he allows other people to have their ownintegrity.'In taking this action, I want to emphasize that I am not dis-scriting from Secretary Shultz, a man of credibility, rather I am dis-senting from the reported disinformation program.'Kalb's comments suggested Shultz perhaps did not go alongwith the disinformation program, but in public, the Secretary ofState has defended the administration's policies against Libya, say-ing in New York last week: 'I don't have any problems with the littlepsychological warfare against Quddafi." He also quoted WinstonChurchill as saying, 'In time of war truth i, --o precious, it must@ beattended by a bodyguard of lies.' Shultz was asked about thedisinformation effort last Sunday on ABC.'I don't lie. I've never taken part in any meeting in which it wasproposed that we go out and lie to the news media for some effect.And if somebody did that, he was doing it against policy. Now hav-ing said that, one of the results of our action against Libya, from theintelligence we've received, was quite a period of disorientation onthe part of Quddafi. Sol to the extent we can keep Quddafj off bal-ance by one means or another, including the possibility that wemight make another attack, I think that's good.'In a sometimes emotional session with reporters today, BernardKalb said that neither he personally nor the nation as a whole canstand any policy of disinformation.'@ I'm concerned about the impact of any such program on thecredibility of the United States. Faith, faith in the word of America.,is the pulse beat of our democracy. Anything that liurts America'scredibility hurts America. And then on a much. r,.iuch, much lowerlevel, there's the' question of my own credibility, both as a spokes-man and a journalist, a spokesman for a couple of years, a journalistfor more years than I want to remember. In fact, I sometimes pri-vately thought of myself as a journalist masquerading as a spokes-man. In any case, I do not want my own credibility to be caught up,to be subsumed in this controversy."The timing of Kalb's action today is likely to add to the contro-versy over government deception. And it comes at an awkward mo-ment for the Reagan Administration, just days before an imp rtantpre-summit meeting with the Soviets in Iceland and in the wake ofofficial denials about a downed guerrilla resupply plane inNicaragua. One American was captured and others were killed inthat action, but officials have said the flight was in no way connectedwith the US government. Kalb said his resignation today had noth-ing to do with any other incident. I'm Bill Busenberg in Washington.Section Three: Special ReportTapescriptThe history of Jews in Poland is not always thoroughly told inthat country. And tlte story of the World War 11 freedom fighters inthe Jewish ghetto of Warsaw is one of the saddest chapters. The;Nazis took hundreds of thousands of Jews to their deaths, and seventhousand more died defending the area when the Gdrmans invaded.Dr. Merrick Adelman is one of the very few who survived.A bookcalled Shielding the Flame is his story. It was writtenin Poland tenyears ago by Hannah Kroll. It is now available in this country inEnglish. Yohannes Toshimska is one of the translators. She says thatMerrick Adelman's view of the ghetto uprising is regarded asunconventional."He doesn't use the language, or even he doesn't have the atti-tude people usually have to the holocaust and to theghettouprisings. One thing he's consistently talking about is the fac@t thatpeople thought was the arms in the ghetto. It wasn"t heroic; it waseasier than to die going to the train cars. And that people who parti-cipated in the ghetto uprising were actually, in a sense, lucky. Theyhad arms; they could do something about what was going on whilethose hundreds of thousands who were led to the train cars wereequally heroic, but their death was much more difficult.'"Dr. Adelman was stationed ... he was working in a clinic; hewas not a doctor then; but he was working in a clinicthat was nearbythe train station where the Jews were taken to go off to the concen-tration camps.''Yes. He had an amazing position. He was standing at the gateto the Hmflat Platz, which was the place from where the Jews weretaken into the train cars. He was a member of the underground inthe ghetto, and he was choosing the people who were needed by theunderground. They were perhaps one or two in many thousands ofthem led every day to the cars. And he would pick these people up,and then young girls who were students at the nurses' school woulddisabilitate these people. He describes in the book,it's a very power-ful scene, how these girls, who were wearing beautiful clean whiteuniforms of nurse students, would take two pieces of wood and withthese two pieces of wood would break legs of the people who weresupposed to be saved for the Jewish underground. But the Germans,to the last moment, wanted to maintain the fiction that people whowere taken to the trains were being taken for work. And obviously aperson with a broken leg couldn't work. So breaking a leg wouldtemporarily save that person from being taken into gas."'So he saw in all, I believe he says four hundred thousand peo-ple, go aboard the train.'"'Yes. He stood there from the very beginning of the extermina-tion action to the end.''With regard to what you were saying earlier, there's a dialoguethat develops in the book between an American professor whocomes to visit the doctor many years later, and is critical of whathappened. He says of the Jews, 'You were going like sheep to yourdeaths.' The professor had been in World War 11; he'd landed on aFrench beach, and he said that 'Men should run, men should shoot.You were going like sheep.' And Adelman explains this, and let mequote him. 'It is a horrendous thing when one is going so quietly toone's death. It is infinitely more difficult than to go out shooting. Af-ter all, it is much easier to die firing. For us, it was much easier to diethan it was for someone who first boarded a train car,then rode thetrain, then dug a hole, then undressed naked.' That's difficult to lin-derstand, but then Hannah Kroll says that she understands it be-cause it's easier for people who are watching this to understand,when the people are dying shooting.'' It is something probably easier to comprehend becausethekind of death most of the people from the ghetto encountered is justbeyond comprehension.''Explain the context of the title for Shielding the Flame; it comesup a bit later on. It has to do with the reason that Dr. Adelman be-comes a physician, a cardilogist, after the War, is that he wants thisopportunity to deal with people who are in a life-or-deathsituation.''He says at some point that what he was doing at Hmflat Platzand what he was doing later on as a doctor is like to shield the flamefrom God who wants to blow this little tiny flame andkill theperson, that what he was doing during the War and after the Warwas, in a way, doing God's work or doing something against God,even if the God existed.'"Do you think this book is oing to be accessible to the Westernreader reading it in English? It is a bit free in form and in style. Itlacks a chronology; certain details are not there or are pre-supposedthat one knows.''This book is a little bit like a conversation of two people whoaren't that much aware of the fact that someone else is listening to it.And they don't care about this other person who might be listeningto it. They don't help this person to follow it. I had a hard time evenwhen I read it for the first time in Polish. However, for me, it hasmagnetic power and, despite the confusion, I always wanted to goback and to go on.'Yahannes Tashimska, the translator, along with LawrenceWeshler, of Shiel(iing the Flaiiie by flatiiiah Kroll.。

About three months ago, my grandfather came up to London to visit us. The first Sunday morning after he arrived, my youngest son said he wanted to go to the park.“We’ll do better than that,” said my grandfather, “we’ll go and feed the pigeons in Trafalgar Square.” So off they went.

Section Three:Dictation.Dictation 1:I am not going out with George again. Last week he invited me to go to a footballmatch. I do not like football, so it was silly of me to say yes. We did not have seats, so we had to stand for two hours in the rain. I was cold and wet and I could not see a thing. So I asked George to take me home. He got very angry and said some very unpleasant things.Dictation 2:Last week the sun shone and it got quite hot. I decided to put on my light grey summer trousers. But I got a shock. I could not put them on. They were too small. It is possible that they got smaller during the winter, but I do not think so. I am afraid I got bigger. So I am going to eat less and I am going to take more exercise. I am definitely going to lose some weight.。

President Reagan said today he will veto a defense spending bill if it is approved, as expected, by the House. Speaking to a private group in Washington today, the President said he was concerned about provisions in the bill that would ban nuclear testing and cut funding for his Star Wars defense system. The President also charged that the Soviet-backed ban on nuclear testing is "a backdoor to a nuclear freeze." And he accused the Soviets of a major propaganda campaign on the testing issue.Israeli warplanes bombed suspected Palestinian guerrilla bases in Southeast Beirut today. Police said the bomb set at least four targets on fire. There are reports that two people were wounded in the attacks.At a news conference in Pretoria today, South African Foreign Minister Pic Botha called international sanctions against his country "a mad perverse action" that will put many blacks out of work. But Botha said the South African government "accepts the challenge to overcome the effect of sanctions."White House spokesman Larry Speakes said today President Reagan will veto on Friday a sanctions bill passed by Congress, but he admitted it will be tough to sustain the veto.On Wall Street today, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up four and a half points, closing at 1797.81. Trading was moderate, one hundred thirty-two million shares.Israeli warplanes today bombed four suspected Palestinian guerrilla bases in Lebanon. Reports from Beirut say at least two people were wounded and a number of fires started in the four villages. From Jerusalem, Jerry Cheslow filed this report which was subject to censorship by Israeli authorities.According to the Israeli army spokesman, the targets were bases belonging to two pro-Syrian Palestinian guerrilla organizations. Israeli military sources say one of the targets was a staging base for raids against northern Israel. Lebaneseradio stations reported that at least two people were wounded in the attack south of Beirut and that Beirut International Airport was closed for half an hour. Israeli military sources stress that the air raid had nothing to do with this week's tensions along Israel's border with Lebanon. They were between the Shi'ite Muslim Hizbullah (Party of God) Militia and the Israeli-backed South Lebanese Army Militia. Over the past two weeks, large Hizbullah forces stormed dozens of South Lebanese Army positions. Israeli military sources say that at least fifteen South Lebanese Army men and some fifty members of Hizbullah were killed. According to the sources the attacks also badly damaged the morale of the South Lebanese Army, and this led Israel to deploy a large force along its border with Lebanon. The force included troops, armor and artillery, and according to knowledgeable observers it was equipped for offensive action against Hizbullah. Senior Israeli defense sources say that Hizbullah was trying to take over all of southern Lebanon. Hizbullah has also been attacking Unifil, the UN force in Southern Lebanon. Over the past six weeks, four French Unifil troops were killed by Hizbullah, and just this morning a French UN base was rocketed in Southern Lebanon. There were no casualty, but some of its soldiers were blown off their seats. And the sources said that Hizbullah's domination of Southern Lebanon would be a direct threat to Israel. Some of its men who were killed were wearing kerchiefs with the words "Onward to Jerusalem" printed on them. But since the Israeli troops deployed along the border three days ago, there have been no Hizbullah attacks on the South Lebanese Army. By nightfall here in the Middle East, the Israeli troops had returned to their bases. For National Public Radio, I'm Jerry Cheslow in Jerusalem.This week, Californian wine workers vote on a contract proposal from winery owners. The workers have now been on strike for six weeks. The contract proposal calls for cuts in wages and cuts in benefits. The prospects for rank and file approval seem slim. A central issue of the strike is the economic well-being of the California wine industry. William Drummond reports.A gondola containing tons of freshly picked Chardenay grapes is dumped into a hopper as the process begins for bottling the 1986 vintage. The harvest has continued despite the fact that more than two thousand winery workers have struck twelve of the biggest wineries in Northern and Central California. Relying on automated plants and non-union labor, members of the Winery Owners' Association have succeeded in carrying on what looks like business is usual. Butout on the picket line, union worker Pat Scoley is anything but pleased."I guess they're doing all right. If they aren't, they want us to think they are. I hope to hell they aren't, between you and me."The union contract expired at the end of July, which is the beginning of t he harvest, the time when wine makers usually need all the help they can get. But many plants are like the Charles Krug Winery, which has been completely automated. Owner Peter Mondaby says the strike has no effect on producing the product."We feel that we can go on indefinitely, because there's a lot of people who want to work. And it's only a question of training these people and, of course, with the system that we have, very well computerized, that they can fit in with a reasonable amount of training, that they can fit in. So, I mean, we're not concerned about it."Actually, the heavy rainfall several days ago in the Napa Valley seemed to disturb the owners more than the strike. Mondaby produces around a million cases a year, super premium brands under the Charles Krug label, mid-range premium wines and jug wines. Mondaby says the industry took a beating during the last several years because of cheap wine imports from Europe. Even though Americans today are drinking more wine chiefly in the form of wine coolers, wine makers say there's not that much profit in the coolers, and they're still in a financial pinch."I feel that the industry has hit its low point and now in on the uptrend. Of course, it's not an uptrend that you will see overnight, but it is a healthy uptrend in a gradual growth manner now. But I wouldn't necessarily say a greater profitability because the profit is very, very marginal. The volume is there, it's true, but the profit is very, very marginal.Mondaby's marginal profit argument does not win much support among striking workers, like Hannah Stockton, who works in the bottling plant at Christian Brothers."I don't believe it, 'because I read the paper every day, and I listen to the news.I mean, there has been increase in sale. I mean, ... I believe three or four years back, we had a slump in the industry. But wine is coming back. Now they are coming out with wine coolers; they are making money. We don't want a raise; we just want to keep what we've got."Wages for workers in the winery industry range from around eight dollars to fifteen dollars an hour. The union was willing to give up a slight reduction in wages, but refused to accept cuts in the pension and health benefits. Theemployers reportedly want a twenty percent reduction in the wages and benefits package. Winery owners say the union has to recognize that overall costs have increased."Not only is your gross down; the competition has forced us to increase marketing and advertising, which is further eroding whatever margin was there."David Spualding is general manager of a winery in Calistoga. Spaulding Vineyards is tiny compared to Charles Krug and Gallo, and Spaulding Vineyards is not on strike, but David Spaulding says he faces the same market forces as the big guys."I think the big problem is the same problem that faces agriculture all over this country; and that is surplus. You know we are producing more and producing it more efficiently, and we have a production that exceeds the demand in the market."Spaulding says wine coolers have taken up some of the over-production, but not all of it. As for the union leaders, they don't think it's good idea to give back wages and benefits when the demand for the product is on the increase. Winery workers are voting all this week on the wages and benefits cuts proposed by management. Jerry Davis is an official of the union."From the people I talked to today and what the negotiating committee is stating, we ask a NO vote on this proposal."The results are expected to be known by Thursday. For National Public Radio, I'm William Drummond reporting.。
