听力原文： GONAIVES, Haiti--Trucks dumped scores of bodies into a mass grave in this flood-ravaged city still littered with corpses, as officials said the death toll from Tropical Storm Jeanne rose to more than 1,070 and could double again.
There was no funeral ceremony when the bodies were dumped into a 14-foot-deep hole at sunset Wednesday. Dozens of bystanders shrieked, held their noses against the stench and demanded officials collect bodies in nearby waterlogged fields.
The confirmed death toll rose to 1,072, with 1,013 bodies recovered in Gonaives alone, according to Dieufort Deslorges, spokesman for the government's civil protection agency.
He said the number of people missing in the floods rose to 1,250. Only a couple dozen bodies have been identified, and nobody was taking count at the site of the mass grave.
"We're demanding they come and take the bodies from our fields. Dogs are eating them," said bystander Jean Lebrun, listing demands made by residents in the neighborhood whose opposition to mass graves had delayed burials.
"We can only drink the water people died in," the 35-year-old farmer said, citing a lack of potable water in this city of 250,000, with parts still knee-deep in water five days after the storm's passage.
Hurricane experts said Wednesday that Jeanne-now over the open Atlantic as a hurricane--could loop a- round and head toward the Bahamas then threaten the storm-weary southeastern United States as early as this weekend.
Haiti has lost large numbers of people to a serious _______.

听力原文：Host: Welcome to today's show, "The women of my village." In this program the respected Village Headman, Chief Kufa, will be with us. Here is Chief Kufa now.
Chief Kufa: Greetings to you all. I want to start today's program by telling you something that has been bothering me. I feel that here in my village we do not value and appreciate the work of women farmers. In fact their work is often ignored.
Host: Who are the women of your village？
Chief Kufa: The women of my village are farmers. They grow most of our food. They grow nutritious garden vegetables. They take it upon themselves to sell extra produce at the market so they can buy clothes and books for our children. In my village it is the women who take care of the livestock-- they cut feed for animals and take cattle to graze They make medicines from wild plants. They have special ways to store seeds. They preserve fish, meat, vegetables and fruits by smoking or drying them. Need I say more？ I'm sure you understand that they are very hardworking. Many times I have thought about how to calculate the value of women's work. It is difficult to measure, but if we could measure their work in local money-- well, it would be a lot of money. Host: Dear listeners, do you agree with Chief Kufa？ The Chief is proud of the women. Can you under stand why？
Chief Kufa: Welcome back. I've invited two women farmers from my village to talk with us today. I've asked them here because they both operate successful farms. You will be interested to know the reasons for their success. It is my pleasure to introduce Mrs. Mirla and Mrs. Kamanga. A respectful good-day to you Both.
Mrs. Mirla and Mrs. Kamanga: Good-day Chief Kufa.
Chief Kufa: Let's start our discussion right away. Mrs. Kamanga, may I start with you？ In our village you are known as a farmer who gets very high yields of grain. Is it possible for you to explain your high yields of maize and sorghum？
Kamanga: I have a secret to tell you. I don't really grow more grain than the other farmers. But I store the grain very carefully so the insects don't get it! Let me tell you how I do it. First, like many other farmers, I store my grain. Then, I mix the grain with different things to protect it from pests. I am always trying new methods. I have tried wood ash, powder from soap nuts, nochi leaves, neem leaves and eucalyptus leaves. When one of these methods works--I use it. So, Chief Kufa, I always have a lot of grain to sell and the reason, as I have said, is that there is not much insect damage in my stores.
Host：Women are experts at food storage. They have special ways of storing grains and other foods. They experiment with different ways of storing foods just like researchers at the university. They do their research in their homes, and their fields and gardens.
Chief Kufa: Hello again to our listeners. We're back with Mrs. Mirla and Mrs. Kamanga discussing their successful farm businesses. Mrs. Mirla, I remember that you used to have a job with the government. But lately I see you working in the field every day. Why did you come back to farming？
Mirla: Chief Kufa, I lost my job with the government five years ago because the office moved to another part of the country. My husband was also unemployed. He has had very bad luck finding work. I had to find a new job. I already had a large garden. I decided to make the garden bigger. Now I grow many local varieties of sweet potatoes and beans and sell them in the village market. People enjoy the taste and they always buy my vegetables.
Chief Kufa: Mrs. Mirla, now I know you grow a lot of vegetables and I am sure that your

On Wednesday, the group also posted a video of Hensley's killing on the Internet, as it had two days earlier of Armstrong's beheading. Hensley's decapitated body was found Wednesday in Baghdad.
More than 130 foreigners have been kidnapped in Iraq, and at least 26 of them have been killed. Many more Iraqis have also been seized in the chaos since Saddam was ousted last year, in many cases for ransom.
