Many people talked of the 288,000 new jobs the Labor Department reporled for Jure, along w

ith the drop in the unemployment take to 6 J percent. at good news. And they were right. For now it appears the economy is creating jobs at a decent pace. We still have a long way to go to get back to full employment, but at least we are now finally moving forward at a faster pace.

However there is another important part of the jobs picture that was targely ovedookcd. There was a big jump in the number of people who report voluntarily working part-time. This figure is now 830,000（4,4 percent）above its year ago level.

Before explaining the connection to the Obamacare, it is worth making an important distinction. Many people who work part-time jobs actually want full-time jobs. They take part-time work because this is all they can get. An increase in involuntary part-time work is evidence of weakness in the labor market and it means that many people will be having a very hard time making ends meet. There was an increase in involuntary part-time in June, but the general direction has been down. Involuntary part-time employment is still far higher than before the recession, but it is down by 640,000(9 percent)from its year ago level.

We know the difference between voluntary and involuntary part-time employment because people tell us. The survey used by the Labor Department asks people if they worked less than 35 hours in the reference week. If the answer is "yes."they are classified as working part-time. The survey then asks whether they worked less than 35 hours in that week because they wanted to work less than full time or because they had no choice. They are only elassified as voluntary part-time workers if they tell the survey taker they chose to work less than 35 hours a week.

The issue of voluntary part-time relates to Obamacare becanse one of the main purposes was to allow people to get insurance outside of employment. For many people, especially those with serious health conditions or family members with serious health conditions, before Obamacare the only way to get insurance was through a job that provided health insurance.

However, Obamacare has allowed more than 12 million people to either get insurance through Medicaid or the exchanges. These are people who may previously have felt the need to get a full-time job that provided insurance in order to cover themselves and their families. With Obamacare there is no longer a link between employment and insurance.

36. Which part of the jobs picture was neglected？

A.The prospect of a thriving job market.

B.The increase of voluntary part-time jobs.

C.The possibility of full employment.

D.The acceleration of job creation.

Many people work part-time because they___________________A.prefer part-time jobs to full-time jobs

C.cannot get their hands on full-time jobs

D.haven' t seen the weakness of the market

The text mainly discusses___________________.A.employment in the US

D.Obamacare's trouble

Involuntary part-time employment in the US___________________A.is harder to acquire than one year ago

听力原文： If you are in any major city in America, the chances are high that you are not far from a Starbucks. In fact, you might be very close to several of these coffee stores. The company started in the West Coast city of Seattle, Washington, in 1971. Starbucks was named after a character in the famous American novel "Moby-Dick" by Herman Melville. Today, there are more than twelve thousand Starbucks around the world.

Sales last year were almost eight billion dollars. The company believes in opening many stores in busy areas of cities. For example, there are about thirty Starbucks stores in downtown Seattle. Recently, three Starbucks opened in the area near VOA headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Starbucks sells more than just plain coffee. It started a whole coffee culture with its own special language and coffee workers called baristas. It sells many kinds of hot and cold coffee drinks, like White Chocolate Mocha and Frappuccino. It also sells music albums, coffee makers, food, and even books. But most of all, it sells the idea of being a warm and friendly place for people to sit, read or talk.

Starbucks is a great success story. Buyers are willing to pay as much as five dollars for a coffee drink. People we talked to said they go to Starbucks because they can depend on it to have exactly what they want and to be nearby.

However, some people do not like the company's aggressive expansion. A small coffee seller is taking the company to court. She says the way the company does business is illegal because it stops property owners from leasing stores to other coffee companies. She sees Starbucks as controlling the market and forcing out competition.

Nicolas O'Connell works for La Colombe, a coffee roasting company based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He says Starbucks has helped to educate people about coffee from many countries. But he criticizes the company for using machines more than people to make the coffee. Mr. O'Connell points out that the coffee culture is all about a hand-made product and interaction between people.

Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

33. Where did Starbucks, the store name come from？

34. What is Starbucks' most extraordinary character？

35. Why does Mr. O'Connell not like Starbucks？

(30)

A．A special symbol in life.

B．A theatrical role in a play.

C．A great character in history.

D．An imaginary person in a fiction.

Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly？ Have you ever bough
t something just because the salesman talked you into it？ Are you afraid to ask a boy (girl) for a date？

Many people are afraid to assert themselves (insist upon their own rights)．Dr．Robert Alberti, author of Stand Up' Speak Out, and Talk Back, thinks it's because their self-esteem (自尊) is low．"Our whole set-up makes people doubt themselves," says Alberti. "There's always a 'superior' around—a parent, a teacher, a boss—who 'knows better'．"

But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people to assert themselves. They offer "assertiveness training" courses (AT). In the AT courses people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive (敢闯的,有闯劲儿的)without hurting other people.

In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear. A group taking an AT course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But AT uses an even stronger motive—the need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels. AT says you can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak out.

In the passage, the writer talks about the problem that______．

A．some people are too easy-going

B．some people are too timid

C．there are too many superiors around us

D．some people dare not defend their own rights

听力原文： A man who tells a story does not always try to base it on facts. He may not believe that facts are necessary in a stow. He may want to make people laugh or make them cry; he may even want to make them think.

A good story is often told in many different languages. It may live through many centuries, and millions of people may enjoy telling it or listening to it. It is not the facts of a story which make it live. The value or a story does not come from its facts, but from human interest or the way it is told.

An English novelist wrote a new book, and a month after it was published his publisher told him that 1,000 copies had already been sold. That evening the novelist had a meal with his publisher and an American friend. They talked about the new book, and the novelist told the American that 10,000 copies had been sold. Later the publisher asked him why he had not told the exact number. "To an American," said the novelist, "a thousand is nothing. I multiplied the number by ten to give him a true idea of success of the book." This novelist was famous not for his accuracy but for his novels; he knew how to tell stories. His best novel will probably live for a long time.

(33)

A．He may want to make people believe the facts.

B．He may want to make people doubt the facts.

C．He may want to make people feel happy or sad, or think.

D．All of the above.
