听力原文：City officials have approved a plan to offer illegal immigrants identification ca

听力原文： City officials have approved a plan to offer illegal immigrants identification cards that would let them open bank accounts and use other services that may be unavailable without driver's licenses or state-issued IDs. Supporters say the program, approved by the Board of Aldermen and believed to be the first of its kind in the nation, will help safeguard the city's estimated 15, O00 illegal immigrants, If they can open bank accounts, immigrants will be less likely to carry large amounts of cash, a practice that makes them easy targets for robbers. Monday's approval stands in contrast to new laws or proposals in more than 90 cities or counties around the nation prohibiting landlords from leasing to illegal immigrants, penalizing businesses that employ them or training police to enforce immigration laws.

What is the plan mainly about？

A．Measures to put illegal immigrants without ID cards in jail.

B．Measures to protect the city's illegal immigrants.

C．Measures to punish robbers.

D．Measures to offer illegal immigrants jobs.

听力原文：Although cheese has been made in England for many centuries, the nation's first c

听力原文： Although cheese has been made in England for many centuries, the nation's first cheese factory was established just over one hundred years ago. By the mid 1930s there was a positive glut of cheese making farms--although they have decreased somewhat in recent years. There are innumerable varieties of cheese produced in England today. In the past goats' milk was favoured but these days cows' milk is usually used in the manufacture of cheese products. Cheeses such as Cheddar, Lancashire and Cheshire are still made by traditional methods, using milk produced on the maker's farm or local cheese farms. Some of them are independently graded and carry the "Farmhouse English Cheese" mark as a guarantee of quality. There has been much renewed interest in cheese making in England, which has resulted in the development of new cheeses and the re-appearance of old favourites. Many are made on farms or smallholdings, and can be purchased locally from specialist cheese shops. For example, Exmoor and Coleford Blue from the West Country, and Beamish and Swaledale from the North.

When was the first cheese factory established？

A．Over one hundred years ago.

B．Hundreds of years ago.

C．In 1930.

D．In 1913.
