听力原文:A recent report finds that the number of working hours in Asia has started to decline. But the economists say that what is needed is not only a reduction in working time, but also more flexibility in working hours. Both businesses and workers would profit if working hours can be adjusted according to demand, allowing workers to better control their days. And, as many economies in the region see a growth in service industries, such as hotels and restaurants, which need flexible work schedules, more flexibility could help boost growth.
What do economists think of working hours in Asia?
A. They don't think that the working hours need reducing.
B. They think that a flexible working schedule is also desirable.
C. They think that working hours have declined satisfactorily.
D. They believe the flexible working hours benefit workers only.
听力原文:The Larsen B shelf was no ordinary piece of ice because it covered more than 3,000 square kilometres and was 200 metres thick. Scientists say they have discovered the ice relatively intact for at least 10,000 years or since the last ice age. Now that it has broken up it is causing changes in currents and species in the area.But that is not all. Robert Gilbert is a geography professor with Queen's University in Ontario. He is the only Canadian in the international team looking at the ice shelf. "As the ice shelves are disintegrating, the glaciers that are feeding them from the land are surging forward, and they are no longer held back by the ice shelf." Gilbert says the glaciers are pushing ice in the form. of icebergs into the sea.As they melt, he says, there will be an effect on sea level that will be felt around the world.He says now scientists are watching to see if the most southern part of the Larsen ice shelf is going to break up. It is in the most protected and the coldest part of Antarctica.Gilbert is now on his way to Greenland to see what changes are happening with the ice there.
Which part of Larsen B ice shelf disintegrated in the 1900s?
A. The northern part.
B. The southern part.
C. The western part.
D. The eastern part.
