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. They got home about tea-time and my grandfather was looking very upset."My watch," he said, "it's gone.

Listen to this3听力原文Lesson1Freed American hostage, David Jacobsen, appealed today for the release of the remaining captives in Lebanon, saying, "Those guys are in hell and we've got to get them home." Jacobsen made his remarks as he arrived at Wiesbaden, West Germany, accompanied by Anglican Church envoy, Terry Waite, who worked to gain his release. And Waite says his efforts will continue. Jacobsen had a checkup at the air force hospital in Wiesbaden. And hospital director, Colonel Charles Moffitt says he is doing well. "Although Mr. Jacobsen is tired, our initial impression is that he is physically in very good condition. It also seems that he has dealt with the stresses of his captivity extremely well." Although Jacobsen criticized the US government's handling of the hostage situation in a videotape made during his captivity, today he thanked the Reagan Administration and said he was darn proud to be an American. The Reagan Administration had little to say today about the release of Jacobsen or the likelihood that other hostages may be freed. Boarding Air Force One in Las Vegas, the President said, "There's no way to tell right now. We've been working on that. We've had heart-breaking disappointments."Mr. Reagan was in Las Vegas campaigning for Republican candidate, Jim Santini, who is running behind Democrat, Harry Reed.In Mozambique today a new president was chosen to replace Samora Machel who died in a plane crash two weeks ago. NPR's John Madison reports: "The choice of the 130-member Central Committee of the ruling FRELIMO Party was announced on Mozambique radio this evening. He is Joaquim Chissano, Mozambique's Foreign Minister, No. 3 in the Party. Chissano, who is forty-seven, was Prime Minister of the nine-month transitional government that preceded independence from Portugal in 1975. He negotiated the transfer of power with Portugal.This much is clear tonight: an American held in Lebanon for almost a year and a half is free. David Jacobsen is recuperating in a hospital in Wiesbaden, West Germany. Twenty-four hours earlier, Jacobsen was released in Beirut by Islamic Jihad. But this remains a mystery: what precisely led to his freedom? Jacobsen will spend the next several days in the US air force facility in Wiesbaden for a medical examination. Diedre Barber reports.After preliminary medical checkups today, David Jacobsen's doctor saidhe was tired but physically in very good condition. US air force hospital commander, Charles Moffitt, said in a medical briefing this afternoon that Jacobsen had lost little weight and seemed extremely fit. He joked that he would not like to take up Jacobsen's challenge to reporters earlier in the day to a six-mile jog around the airport. Despite his obvious fatigue, Jacobsen spent the afternoon being examined by hospital doctors. He was also seen by a member of the special stress-management team sent from Washington. Colonel Moffitt said that after an initial evaluation it seems as if Jacobsen coped extremely well with the stresses of his captivity. He said there was also no evidence at this point that the fifty-five-year-old hospital director had been tortured or physically abused. Jacobsen seemed very alert, asking detailed questions about the facilities of the Wiesbaden medical complex, according to Moffitt.So far, Jacobsen has refused to answer questions about his five hundred and twenty-four days as a hostage. Speaking briefly to reports after his arrival in Wiesbaden this morning, he said his joy at being free was somewhat diminished by his concern for the other hostages left behind. He thanked the US government and President Ronald Reagan for helping to secure his release. Jacobsen also gave special thanks to Terry Waite, an envoy of the Archbishop of Canterbury, for his help in the negotiation. Waite who accompanied Jacobsen from Beirut to Wiesbaden today, said he might be going to Beirut in several days. There are still sevenAmerican hostages being held in Lebanon by different political groups. Jacobsen will be joined in Wiesbaden tomorrow by his family. Hospital officials said they still do not know how many days Jacobsen will remain for tests and debriefing sessions before returning to the United States with his family. For National Public Radio, this is Diedre Barber, Wiesbaden.Lesson 2Iran's official news agency said today former US National Security Advisor Robert McFarlane and four other Americans were jailed in Tehran for five days recently after they arrived on a secret diplomatic mission. The report quoted the speaker of Iran's parliament as saying President Reagan sent the group to Tehran posing as aircraft crewmen. He said they carried with them a Bible signed by the President and a cake. He said the presents were designed to improve relations between the two countries. Neither the Reagan Administration nor McFarlane had any comment on the report.There were published reports in the Middle East that hostage David Jacobsen was freed as a result of negotiations between the United States and Iran. Asked about that today, Anglican Church envoy Terry Waite said that he didn't want to comment on the political dynamics. But Waite said he may know within the next twenty-four hours from his contacts ifhe will be returning to Beirut to negotiate the release of more hostages.Jacobsen was reunited with his family today, but again said his joy could not be complete until the other hostages are freed. He appeared on the hospital balcony with his family and talked with reporters. Hospital director Colonel Charles Moffitt says Jacobsen needs to communicate with people now. "He likes to talk, whether that be to a group of press or to individual physicians. Once you get him started on a subject, he wants to talk because he hasn't been able to do that." Moffitt says Jacobsen is in good health and will not need followup medical care.A low to moderate turnout is reported across the nation so far on this election day. V oters are choosing members of the one hundredth Congress, thirty-four senators and all four hundred thirty-five members of the US House of Representatives. One of the big questions is which Party will control the Senate after today's voting.President Reagan's former National Security Advisor, Robert McFarlane, and four other Americans may have visited Tehran recently on a secret diplomatic mission. Today, on the seventh anniversary of the seizure of the US embassy in Tehran, Iran Speaker of the Parliament said thevisiting Americans were held for five days before being expelled from the country. NPR was unable to reach Mr. McFarlane today for comment and the White House says that it can neither confirm nor deny the story. NPR's Elizabeth Colton reports.Today in Tehran, Speaker of the Parliament, Hashami Rafsanjani took the occasion to tell a rally that President Reagan had recently sent personal envoys to Iran, calling for improvement of relations. In response to the American overtures, Rafsanjani announced that Iran will advise its friends in Lebanon, in other words the hostage takers, to free US and French hostages if Israel frees Lebanese prisoners, and if the American and French governments end their hostility to the revolutionary government of Iran. Rafsanjani then reportedly described for the tens of thousands outside his parliament, the visit of the five American emissaries. The Iranian said they flew in, posing as the flight crew of a plane bringing American military spare parts to Iran from Europe. The US envoys reportedly carried Irish passports, now said to be held by Iranian officials. And one of the men called himself McFarlane. And according to Rafsanjani, he looked exactly like President Reagan's former National Security Advisor. Rafsanjani claimed that Iranian security officials also have a tape of telephone conversations between the American President and his envoys, The Iranian cleric, Rafsanjani, said the five men were confined to a hotel for five days and later deportedafter Ayatollah Khomeini advised Iranian officials not to meet them or receive their message. Rafsanjani said the Americans had brought a Bible signed by President Reagan and a key-shaped cake which they said was the symbol of the hope of reopening US-Iran relations. In Tehran today, at the ceremony marking the anniversary of the seizure of the American embassy, Parliamentary Speaker Rafsanjani described the visit by the American emissaries as a sign of Washington's helplessness. The White House said it would neither confirm nor deny the reports, because according to the press office, there are certain matters pertaining to efforts to try to release the hostages, and comments might jeopardize them. Robert McFarlane, who was also a frequent political commentator for NPR's morning edition, has been unavailable for comment. I am Elizabeth Colton in Washington.Over the last few years and around the country, the number of fundamentalist religious groups is said to be growing. Some are called "ultra-fundamentalist" groups. The estimates varied greatly. The number could be as high as two thousand. These organizations have different purposes and beliefs, but usually have one thing in common—strong leadership, quite often one person. Four years ago in October at a fundamentalist Christian commune in West Virginia, a young boy diedafter a paddling session that lasted for two hours. The child was spanked by his parents. He had hit another child and refused to say he was sorry. We reported the story of that paddling—the story of the Stonegate Community in November of 1982. Since that time, Stonegate leader has been tried and convicted, one of the first times a leader of a religious group has been held responsible for the actions of a member. Also in that time the parents of the child have served jail terms, and now they have agreed to tell their story.The Stonegate Commune was near Charleston, West Virginia, in the northeast corner of the state. It's mostly farming country. The Stonegate members lived outside of town in an old white Victorian house, overlooking the Shenandoah River, eight young families living and working together. They did some farming, some construction work and for a time ran a restaurant in Charleston. It was their intention to become less of a commune and more of a community, with the families living in separate houses on the property. We went to Stonegate on a Sunday evening in November of 1982. We were reluctantly welcomed. Less than a month before, two Stonegate members had been indicted for involuntary manslaughter. They were the parents of Joseph Green, who was two years old when he died. On this night many of the Stonegate people were defensive, almost angry.That was four years ago. The parents, Stewart and Leslie Green, wereconvicted of involuntary manslaughter and both spent a year in jail. First Stewart, then Leslie. Then in a separate legal action, the leader of the Stonegate commune, Dorothy McLellan was also indicted. McLellan did not take part in the paddling but she was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and conspiracy in the death of Joey Green. Stewart Green, the father, testified against Dorothy McLellan. Green now believes that his son died because of McLellan's teachings and influence. He explained in court that the Stonegate members were taught that a paddling session should continue until the child apologizes. Green also testified that a four-hour spanking of Dorothy McLellan's grandson, Danny, had occurred two weeks before Joey Green's death. He also said the Stonegate members, when Joey died, joined in a pledge of secrecy: the circumstances would be covered up; the death would be called an accident. They were afraid all the Stonegate children would be taken away. Joey's parents at first agreed to this. It was later that they spoke out against what they called then a conspiracy of silence. Both Stewart and Leslie Green grew up and married within the Stonegate community. Leslie was only fifteen when she came to the Stonegate. They lived with several other teenagers in the home of Dorothy and John McLellan. The McLellans had been taking in young people who were having trouble, usually with drugs. They wanted to use their marriage as an example of Christian family life. John McLellan worked for an accounting firm,traveling during the week, Dot McLellan staying at home, taking care of more and more teenagers. The Greens are now living in their first real home together, an apartment in Baltimore. Stewart left the Stonegate, and Leslie joined him as soon as she got out of jail. The Greens have now agreed to talk about their lives at Stonegate and about the paddling of their son.。

Last week heinvited me to go to a football match. 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.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.—Is that Mrs. Brown?—No, it isn't. It's Mrs. Bright.—Is she English?—No, she isn't.

I want to see some cardigans.—What size do you take, Madam?—About fourteen inches, I think.1. I really need some new curtains but I'm afraid I can't sew.2. My problem is that I can't find a job. Managers always say my hair is too long.3. I do love listening to the radio but I'm afraid my radio isn't working.4. Just look at these shoes. They cost forty-five pounds last year and they have holes in them now.5. Do you know anything about cars? My car is using too much petrol.John Haslam is talking about his garden.You know, I don't really like the country. It's too quiet. There's not enough movement,not enough action, not enough to do. But I'm like most other people： I need some peace andquiet sometimes, and this little garden is my peace and quiet. It's big enough for me.During the summer I may spend three or four hours out here. But even in the winter I maycome out here for an hour or two at the weekends, if the weather's good. It's a good placeto sit with my typewriter. And it's a good place to sit with a book and a drink.And do you know something? I spend as much time out ofthe house now as I didwhen I lived in the country. Funny, isn't it?(Sound of radio playing. Telephone rings.)Betty： Listen, Mum. The phone's ringing. Can I answer it?Julie： Yes, of course. But please answer correctly.(Receiver being picked up.)Betty： (excited) Hello. This is Betty.Male Voice; (confused pause) Uh ... good evening. Is that 789-6 double 4 3?Betty： Yes, it is. Would you like to talk to my mother?Male Voice： Well ... I'd like to talk to Mrs.Henderson ...Betty： Just a moment. I'll tell her.Julie： Mrs. Henderson speaking. Who's calling please?Male Voice： This is Brian Murphy, Mrs. Henderson. I'myour new neighbor. I moved in yesterday.Julie： Oh, good evening, Mr. Murphy. Welcome to Oak Lane. Can we give you any help?Male Voice： Sorry to bother you, Mrs. Henderson, but I'd like to ask you some questions.Julie： I'm never too busy to help a neighbor, Mr. Murphy. What would you like to know?Male Voice： Well, first, could you tell me what time the milkman calls? And which daydo the dustmen come? Who's the most dependable newsagent? (pause) Oh, yes ...where is the nearest police station?Julie： My goodness, Mr. Murphy. You have got a lot of questions. Look, I have an idea.Why don't you come to tea tomorrow afternoon?

Goodbye.Male Voice： Goodbye, Mrs. Henderson.(Receiver being replaced.)Everything changes. Once a lot of people went to the cinema to see silent films. Then when talking pictures started nobody wanted to see silent films any more. But people still went to the cinema and everybody knew the names of all the great film stars. Now we have television. People sit at home night after night watching their favorite programs. But what is going to happen to the cinema?Dear Mr. Scott,Thank you for your letter of 15th January. You say that you telephoned our office five times in two days and did not receive a reply.I am sorry about this, but we have had problems with our telephone.Yours sincerely,D. Renton。
