听力原文: Good evening. You are listening to Pop World of BCD International. I'm Sally Brown. Today, we are going to hear Several current hits of the world's most popular artists.
Well, at the beginning, I would like to say a few words to my dear listeners who are not very familiar with this program.
Because many people want to listen to and understand pop songs, radio producers at BCD International have made hundreds of programs over the years. We not only have access to the stars of the music world, but have a vast library of "golden oldish" Classics, as well as the "latest releases".
For those of yon who like a bit of background with your favorite music--there's The History of Pop and The Road to Music. These two series bring you the language of pop music and information about the periods and the artists.
If you want to hear from the artists themselves, there's a new series called About the Big Hits. This is based on interviews with popular singers and songwriters. They speak to us about the meanings and ideas behind their songs.
If you want to understand the words to the big music hits, Pop Words is the program for you. After all, it's hard enough for native English speakers to understand most pop songs--so, if English isn't your first language, you shouldn't be surprised if the words to many songs leave you in the dark. It was to address exactly this problem that BCD International started broadcasting Pop Words just over 23 years ago...

听力原文: A million people came to London on May 9 to watch 16 000 people run 26 miles. The event was the London Marathon, which looked like one of the fastest growing sports in the 1980s.
70 000 people had applied to take part in the race, but the numbers had to be restricted to 16 000 for safety reasons. Running through a big and friendly crowd which lined the whole course, the competitors followed a route which took them through the center of London, finishing near the House of Parliament.
Well, they weren't really competitors. The fastest man finished in 2 hours 9 minutes, and the fastest woman in 2 hours 29 minutes--hat most people weren't trying to beat the clock, they were just interested in seeing if they could actually run 26 miles.
However, one of the runners collapsed 50 meters from the end. The crowd yelled encouragement and applauded as three times he tried to stand up--and three times fell down. Then, on his fourth attempt, he managed to stand up, and finished the race. Another was so exhausted that he crossed the finish line on his hands and knees.
How many people applied but didn't run the race?
A. 16 000.
B. 10 000.
C. 67 000.
D. 54 000.
