听力原文: Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz said Sunday that Israel would carry out a military strike if Palestinian militants continued their attacks.
Mofaz, speaking at a weekly cabinet meeting Sunday, said Israel would launch a "massive, prolonged and intricate" military strike if the Palestinian Authority did not curb militants who have been attacking Israeli targets with rockets and mortar rounds in recent days, The Associated Press quoted a meeting participant as saying.
Sharon made a similar statement. "I spoke to the heads of the defense establishment and informed them that there are to be no restraints on our operations," Sharon said Sunday, according to The AP.
Israel has ordered troops near Israel's border with Gaza to prepare to enter the Gaza Strip if necessary a warning to the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, to begin to move against militant groups.
Reuters reported that an Israeli Army sniper had killed a Palestinian militant in the Gaza Strip on Sunday.
The shooting followed the Israeli Army's arrest early Saturday of 30 members of the militant groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad on the West Bank. The army also fired rockets from helicopter gunships at three suspected Hamas weapons factories in Gaza City and Khan Yunis, army spokesmen said.
It is unlikely that Israel would move troops in force into Gaza with Abbas there, with the U.S. secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, scheduled to visit this week and with Israel's pullout from its Gaza settlements only a month away. Mofaz also says that Israel will give the Palestinian Authority time to control the violence.
Israel threatened to carry out a military strike if______.

A. Palestinian declared independence
B. Palestinian authority did not curb the militants
C. Palestinian authority support the military activities
D. Palestinian authority refused to join negotiation

听力原文:Interview with PAUL RAY:
AD: How did you discover the Cultural Creatives?
PR: When in 1986 I co-founded American LIVES, I was less interested in traditional market research and more in how America was changing. One of the first things we discovered in our research was that a clear cultural change was happening: not just change in one area of people's lives, but in many areas. From environmental issues to consumption patterns, from media preferences to the purchase of food products. We also discovered that the people who were changing were a definite subculture and part of a longer-term pattern. Although most Cultural Creatives in our surveys thought they were alone or part of a very small group, it turned out that they represented a sizable and fast-growing portion of the American population, now reaching over 50 million.
AD: How do you explain this impression of Cultural Creatives that they are not part of a larger group?
PR: Cultures are generally self-maintaining, and the Cultural Creatives differ from the official culture of the U.S.: i.e., the modern culture, which is a culture of getting and spending, a culture of materialism, a culture of big government, big corporations, and big media. That official culture is adhered to by just under half of Americans. The other half of Americans doesn't believe in it at all. Mainstream media usually describe Cultural Creatives as isolated individuals often labeled as tree huggers, protesters, New Agers, etc. When Cultural Creatives follow the news media, they see they are hardly mentioned, and therefore come to the false conclusion that they are only part of a very small group. Another reason why Cultural Creatives believe they are alone is that when you go to the workplace, you are supposed to check your values at the door. Cultural Creatives in the average workplace don' t express themselves as such. A third reason is that in the process of becoming a Cultural Creative, one frequently had to shed old friendships, old marriages, old careers, because their views were changing in ways others weren't. This is a very individualized process, the benefit of which is that it really lets you change. The cost is that you believe you are unique and the only one going through this process.
AD: You indicate that there are 50 million Cultural Creatives in the U.S. and 80 million in Europe. What are the reasons for their rise?
PR: In part this is because our planet is in deep trouble. There is a daily drumbeat that we are moving into a crisis period for humanity. People who are good at synthesis, like most Cultural Creatives, see that if we continue our way of life we will be in deep trouble. At the same time there are personal changes happening at a psychological and spiritual level. Today, for the first time in human history, people who are interested in an inner life have access to every esoteric tradition in the world. Access to information about personal growth is enormous. Access to information about what is going on around the planet is never ending. In short, better information, large crises at the social level, and miniature crises at the individual level all contribute to more and more people being exposed to the opportunity to deal with personal change.
AD: Why are there so many women among Cultural Creatives?
PR: Women as both wage earners and homemakers feel the contradictions more in our society. They feel more subtle, institutional discrimination. If a society inherits dysfunctional institutions then it is often the people with intelligence, skills, and an alternative perspective who are going to come up with better a

A. people's lives
