听力原文： Rich Americans are willing to spend large sums of money on space tourism, according to a poll released recently. Possibly bored by the ordinary daily life on earth or inspired by the exciting heroic deeds of such pioneers as first American in space Alan Shepard and first millionaire in space Dennis Tito, the poll says 7 percent of rich Americans would pay $ 20 million for a two-week orbital flight and 19 percent would pay $100,000 for a 15-rninute suborbital flight. The poll by Zogby International was commissioned by Futron Corp. , a Maryland aerospace consulting group which has a $1.8 million contract with NASA to explore the commercial applications of space travel, including what space tourism could look like in the next 20 years. Zoghy International conducted telephone interviews with 450 Americans whose yearly incomes were more than $ 250,000 or whose net worth was more than $1 million. Futron's NASA project program manager Derek Webber said, "We commissioned this survey in order to get an idea of what rich people think and not the man in the street who loves the idea of going into space but can't afford it."

听力原文： Warm weather has brought Japan's much-loved cherry trees into bloom two weeks early this year, but not everyone is excited to see the flowers ahead of time. Some in the leisure and retail industries are watching carefully their plans fall apart. The emergence of the pale pink flowers is the focus of national interest, with TV networks frequently broadcasting the latest information about the blooming of cherry flowers on their news programs. Families, companies and friends pack Tokyo's parks during the season to picnic under the trees in full bloom. These parties can be organized at the last minute, but for businesses that organize flower-viewing tours, timing is everything. "If it turns out that people won't be able to see cherry flowers at all, we'd have to cancel the tours," a spokeswoman for a travel agent said. "Actually, some of our tours have never been hooked anyway, because customers can see the situation for themselves on television." A group of retailers in central Tokyo has also called off a cherry-flower festival scheduled for next month, when the flowers will be gone. One office worker, however, saw the early flowers as a good sign for the country's economy. "For the past 10 years Japan's economy has been a late bloomer. Now it will finally bloom," he told Fuji Television.
