听力原文: Cottonville is a new prison specially designed for women criminals in Scotland. The 226 prisoners there live in small units of seven rooms. There is a kitchen where they cook their own meals and a lounge for the fitted carpet and armchairs. The "wake up, wake up" call by loudspeakers at 7:00 every morning is followed by a music program which creates atmosphere of a holiday camp. During the day, most of the prisoners are employed in three workshops, making toys or clothing. Their earnings up to 90 pennies a week can be spent in the prison shop. The gymnasium, which also acts as a cinema and concert hall, has facilities for table tennis, basketball and dancing. Prisoners, particularly those of long sentences are encouraged to be independent and take responsibility for themselves and others. This is in many ways much more demanding than simply serving time. Just as the deputy governor of this prison once said, "We try to preserve the prisoners respect as much as possible by imagining ourselves in their position." His words explained why this new prison is run in a unique way.
What's Cottonville?

A small town in Britain.
B. A new type of jail.
C. A labour camp.
D. A big gymnasium in Scotland.

听力原文:Speaker: Today, I would like to continue our discussion of the American diplomatic history of the eighteenth century by talking about a pioneer named William Johnson. Sir William Johnson helped to establish friendly relations between the British colonists and the Iroquois nation during the middle of the eighteenth century. Johnson came to New York State from England in 1737, and soon became a large landholder. He got along well with the Iroquois. Some of them lived on his land, and it became a center of trade. Johnson sought land and furs, but was generous to his neighbors. With his skill as a diplomat, Johnson often spent time negotiating among the various Indian groups. Largely because of his work, the Iroquois aided the British in their struggle against the French in 1756. Later, however, there was a disagreement with the Iroquois. Johnson who had been an official in the colonial government was called in to conclude a treaty regarding land boundaries between the Iroquois and the English and French settlers in the area. Since Johnson died in 1774, he did not have to face the turmoil of the American Revolution.
Where was Johnson born?

A. New York.
B. France.
C. India.
