听力原文： As city residents, we all think that we know what the word "city" means, but do we really (32) ？ Here are some interesting facts.
In Britain, a town of any size can be called a city, if it has a cathedral. So London today includes the two cities of London and Westminster, because both parts have a cathedral (33) . But a small place in North Wales called St. Asaph has a population of fewer than 4,000 and yet because it has a cathedral it is also called a city. on the other hand, Birmingham was so large that it was specially made into a city, even though it did not have a cathedral (34) .
In the USA, "city" is simply a legal term, and it does not depend on the size or importance of the place. Confusingly, however, the US Census Bureau, an American government department that conducts official counts of the population, classifies any place with a population of over 2,500 as a city, no matter how far out in the countryside it is.
The world's most densely populated city is the area of Japan that includes Tokyo and Yokohama, which has an estimated 29,272,000 inhabitants (34) . But, in the future, it may well be replaced by a city in China or a city in India.
So, what is a city？ It all depends on where you live.
(33)
A．US census officials.
B．Government employees,
C．People who live in the city.
D．Lawyers who work for the Church.

A former town hall worker made legal history last week when she was awarded 67,000 pounds for stress brought on by her work. The ruling made Beverley Lancaster the first person to get their employer to accept legal responsibility for stress-related personal injury in a British court. It is likely to start a flood of other worker’s claims; Mrs. Lancaster’s union already has 7,000 stress-related cases on its books.
The 44-year-old mother of two started a legal case against Birmingham City Council after falling ill while working as a troubleshooter in a neighborhood housing office. Dealing with rude and abusive members of the public pushed her into periods of gloom and she suffered anxiety, Birmingham county court heard. Mrs. Lancaster joined the council at 16, working her way up from junior clerk to senior draughtswoman. Her problems began when she was promoted to housing officer in Sutton Oldfield. "With no continuity, a constant high workload and little clerical support, I found it difficult to switch from one problem or situation to another," she said. "My concentration swung and I suffered sleepless nights. It made me feel like I was in a hole with no key to open the door. I would break down in tears. I was being in paperwork and at times my mind would just go blank."
In awarding compensation of 67,491 pounds, assistant recorder Frances Kirkham said she understood the position of troubleshooter was very different from Mrs. Lancaster’s precious job. She rejected claims from the council that Mrs. Lancaster would be able to go back to her former profession, saying she accepted that the possibility of future work would be less capacity.
After the hearing Mrs. Lancaster said she was relieved and pleased. She added, "I hope this will act as a warning to employers. Everything I did was right. The council made promises to me and they failed me. I felt isolated, let down, that I was not good enough, not wanted." The payout, the first of its kind to be decided in a county court, covers loss of wages and future loss of earnings.
A spokesman for Birmingham City Council said action had been taken by the authority to review its staff and management procedures.
Mrs. Beverley Lancaster was awarded 67,000 pounds for ______.
A．illness caused by her job
B．her successful and good luck
C．the courage she showed in court
D．the amount of work she did

A Pay Rise or Not
"Unless I get a rise, I'll have a talk with the boss, Henry Manley. "George Strong said to himself. George liked his job and he liked the town he lived in, but his wife kept telling him that his pay was not enough to meet the needs of the family. That was why he was thinking of taking a job in Birmingham, a nearby city about 50 miles away. He had been offered a job in a factory there, and the pay was far better.
George lived in Wyeford, a medium-sized town. He really liked the place and didn't like the idea of moving somewhere else, but if he took the job in Birmingham, he would have to move his family there.
Henry Manley was the manager of a small company manufacturing electric motors. The company was in deep trouble because, among other reasons, the Japanese were selling such things at very low prices. As a result, Manley had to cut his own prices and profits as well. Otherwise he would not get any orders at all. Even then, orders were still not coming in fast enough, so that there was no money for raises (加工资) for his workers. Somehow, he had to struggle along and keep his best workers as well. He sighed. Just then the phone rang.
His secretary told him that George Strong wanted to see him as soon as possible. Manley sighed again. He could guess what it was about. George Strong was a very young engineer. The company had no future unless it could attract and keep men like him. Manley rubbed his forehead (前额), his problems seemed endless.
Henry Manley was already deeply in debt.
A．right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned
How long does the training period last？
A．About three weeks.
B．At least half a year.
C．Two years or more.
D．Two to four months.
