听力原文： Christmas is a day for family members to get together. People who live away try to get back home. The roads and railways are full of people traveling long distances in order to spend Christmas at home. Everyone wants to spend this day with their family. And above all, it's the children's holiday. They like to be happy at this day.
The children count the weeks, then the days to Christmas. They're wondering what presents they are going to have; they are very happy about this. They keep trying to find something out from their mother, but the only thing the mother will tell them is stories about Father Christmas, who brings presents to good children.
Christmas Eve comes at last. When the children go to bed they hang up their socks and on Christmas morning they wake to find them full of presents. Of course it's really their parents who fill the socks, but even the older children often pretend not to know this.
Everybody likes to be happy at Christmas time. The theatre puts on special shows for children. The circle is another thing that parents may take their children to see. Here, the audiences sit in a circle and the performance takes place in the center. The main attraction is the performing animals. Elephants, lions and tigers are trained to do astonishing tricks. Every circle has many funny persons who make people laugh.

Rights being good things, you might suppose that the more of them you campaign for the better. Why not add pressing social and economic concerns to stuffy old political rights such as free speech, free elections and due process of law？ What use is a vote if you are starving？ Are not access to jobs, housing, health care and food basic rights too？ No: few rights are truly universal, and letting them multiply weakens them.
Food, jobs and housing are certainly necessities. But no useful purpose is served by calling them "rights". When a government locks someone up without a fair trial, the victim, perpetrator and remedy are pretty clear. This clarity seldom applies to social and economic "rights". It is hard enough to determine whether such a right has been infringed, let alone who should provide a remedy, or how. Who should be educated in which subjects for how long at what cost in taxpayers' money is a political question Best settled at the ballot Box. So is how much to spend on what kind of health care. And no economic system known to man guarantees a proper job for everyone all the time: even the Soviet Union's much-boasted full employment was based on the principle "they pretend to pay us and we pretend to work".
It is hardly an accident that the countries keenest to use the language of social and economic rights tend to be those that show least respect for rights of the traditional sort. The rulers of some countries habitually depict campaigns concentrating on individual freedoms as a conspiracy by the rich northern hemisphere to do down poor countries. It is mightily convenient, if you deprive your citizens of political liberties, to portray these as a bourgeois luxury.
And it could not be further from the truth. For people in the poor world, as for people everywhere, the most reliable method yet invented to ensure that governments provide people with social and economic necessities is called politics. That is why the rights that make open politics possible—free speech, due process, protection from arbitrary punishment—are so precious. Insisting on their enforcement is worth more than any number of grandiloquent but unenforceable declarations demanding jobs, education and housing for all.
Many do-goading outfits suffer from baying too broad a focus and too narrow a base. Amnesty used to be the other way round, appealing to people of all political persuasions and none, and concentrating on a hard core of well-defined basic liberties. No longer. By trying in recent years to borrow moral authority from the campaigns and leaders of the past and lend it to the woollier cause of social reform, Amnesty has succeeded only in muffling what was once its central message, at the very moment when governments in the West need to hear it again.
According to the passage, Amnesty International
A．had a great influence on some countries.
B．is no longer as outspoken as it used to be.
C．has decided to embark on an organizational reform.
D．was founded by some major Western countries.
Which of the following is not true？
A．In some places people pretend not to see you although they are polite.
B．It is good manners to give a burp when you've had enough.
C．Sometimes manners are different in different places in the same country.
D．Good manners are ways of showing that people are friendly to each other.
A．wives of high ranked official are usually very pride to poor people
B．modeling is not the only way people respond in different situations
C．there is a distinct speech difference between rich people and the poor
D．the poor tend to pretend to be well-educated in front of the rich
