听力原文: Just a word of advice: If you' re a famous person living in London, go out and get the best security system money can buy.
Skeletal Brit supermodel Kate Moss became the third star to fall victim to' burglars in London this year, The Sun tabloid reported today. Madonna and Jerry Hall both had their English mansions ransacked earlier in the year.
Irreplaceable Items thieves reportedly broke into Moss' home and made $350,000 worth of the wife' s jewelry disappear, including two irreplaceable items: a $28,000 diamond necklace given to her by former fiance Johnny Depp, and a diamond ring that was a family heirloom.
The burglars also took other jewels and $70,000 in traveler's checks, The Sun said.
Moss, 26, was apparently on a two-week vacation in the United States when her $1.4 million home in northwest London was hit. A supposed friend of the model's told The Sun, "Kate has been knocked sideways by this. She's still in shock. Johnny was the first love of her life. She's particularly upset at losing the necklace because of what it means to her. It's like losing a piece of herself."
Depp and Moss had a fiery four-year relationship --at a time when both stars were on the fast track in the young celeb party circuit --that ended in 1997, when Depp left Moss for French actress-singer Vanessa Paradis.
Depp and Paradis now have a child together and are expecting another. Moss has been romantically linked to controversial Brit artist Jake Chapman.
The Sun claimed that Moss, who lives alone at the house, has decided to stay in the States until a new security system has been installed in her home.
How much did Moss lose?
A. $350,000.
B. $70,000.
C. $420,000.
D. $1.4 million.

听力原文: A massive evacuation of tourists in one of the world's largest resorts began Sunday, with hundreds of buses dispatched to move tens of thousands of vacationers away from Hurricane Emily, heading for a direct hit on Mexico's coast.
The size of the task was daunting: About 500 buses were ordered to move 30,000 tourists in Cancun --part of a total of 70,000-80,000 mostly foreign visitors to be evacuated statewide to temporary shelters in ballrooms and convention centers.
"We have very little hope that this will change course," said a grim-faced Cancun Mayor Francisco Alor. "This hurricane is coming with the same force as Gilbert," a legendary hurricane that killed 300 people in Mexico and the Caribbean in 1988.
That was the last time Cancun faced a mass evacuation. But back then, the city and surrounding resort areas were fairly new and had only about 8,000 hotel rooms; that number has since grown to more than 50,000.
By 8 a.m. EDT Sunday, Emily was located about 305 miles east-southeast of Cozumel, and was moving toward the island at about 20 mph, with sustained winds of nearly 150 mph. The eye of the storm was expected to make landfall on the Yucatan Peninsula late Sunday or early Monday morning, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
Along the narrow' spit of land that holds most of Cancun' s palatial hotels, workers scrambled to board up businesses and remove traffic lights along the eight-mile main strip, to keep them from becoming wind-borne projectiles when the hurricane hit.
What do you know about the resort Cancun?
A. There were 13,000 people needed to be moved.
B. The hurricane came in 1988 killed 300 people.
C. It is the largest resort in the world.
D. It never experienced a mass evacuation.
