听力原文: We can make progress in the Six-Party Talks if North Korea is ready to return and return seriously to them. Now, sometimes there is a tendency to think that international problems can always be traced back to questions of what America should do. We see this thinking in the current debate about North Korea. There are those who say that North Korea is behaving the way that it is because of something that America either did or did not fro. That misses the point. Over the course of many years and throughout many diplomatic conditions with North Korea, there has been one constant. It is North Korea's leaders, not those in Washington, who have made the fundamental choices, really the tragic choices about the condition of their country. Those choices have led to deprivation and oppression and despair for the North Korean people. And the North Korean people deserve better.

B.work under better conditions
C.keep independent mining jobs
D.work for shorter hours

听力原文: Beijing: The United States and North Korea had their first face-to-face meeting in four months here this afternoon as part of the six-nation negotiations on how to end North Korea's nuclear program, but diplomats played down prospects for an early breakthrough.
The talks are at the Diaoyutai state guesthouse, a sprawling, garden-filled compound in western Beijing, with negotiators gathering around a giant hexagonal table built to accmmodate the six delegations.
The Chinese placed the Americans and the North Koreans in adjacent comers, which may have facilitated the one-on-one discussion between Mr. Kelly and Mr. Kim, which took place during a break in the afternoon session. The two spoke for 30 minutes, two Asian diplomats confirmed.
The early indications of how the talks are going varied. A South Korean who took part in the meetings described North Korea as "willing to resolve the nuclear issue through dialogue," Chinese officials also put a positive spin on the talks. "I heard talks this morning and this after- noon were very successful," the foreign minister, Li Zhaoxing, told delegates during a reception.
But Japanese and Russian participants were, however, more cautious. The Russian deputy foreign minister, Aleksandr Losyukov, described the negotiations as fragile."So far, the countries have put forward a number of preliminary demands, which are blocking the development of these talks," he told Russian reporters in Beijing. "I would not say that I am feeling great optimism."

听力原文: NIGERIA
Residents of Nigeria's city of Jos say attacks are continuing for a fourth day in parts of the state previously unaffected despite the imposition of a 24-hour curfew and the deployment of soldiers.
Incidents of violence are still being reported in the volatile city amid reports that clashes between gangs of Muslim Hausas and mostly Christian Beroms have now spread beyond Jos to neighboring towns and other parts of the Plateau state.
U. S.-based Human Rights Watch says more than 200 people have been killed in three days of violence. So far, Nigerian officials have confirmed only the death of 60 people.
The government imposed a 24-hour curfew and ordered troops to act swiftly to stop the fighting. Top police and military commanders are all in Jos to direct security operations in the troubled city.
NORTH KOREA
North Korea has apparently revalued its currency, in a move that may be aimed at tightening domestic market activity.
According to the reports, Pyongyang announced that old North Korean won notes are to be exchanged for new notes at the rate of 100 to one. Citizens will reportedly be ordered to trade in old 1,000-won bills for new 10-won notes this week.
North Korea has experienced severe shortages of food, medicine, and other basic needs for two decades, due to the government's economic mismanagement and isolation. North Korea scholars say a black market now flourishes, mainly across the border with China. A number of North Koreans are believed to cross into China regularly to trade and work. This week's currency reform. may be aimed at flushing out earnings from such activities.

In a measured and even tone of voice, Mehmanparast stressed Tehran would protest the censure by sending written complaints to the countries that supported it.
Mehmanparast added Iran would "not give up its rights," to produce nuclear power, and issued a vague threat to take legal action against those trying to prevent it from doing so.
