By midday, the small party of boys, led by their schoolmaster, had reached a height of 2,500 feet. At this point the party had to stop climbing because one of the boys became seriously ill. The only thing the master could do was to return to the mountain hut where they ha& spent the night. From there, he telephoned the police. As no rescue party could reach the boy quickly enough, the Royal Air Force Rescue Center sent a helicopter (直升飞机) with a policeman and a doctor on board. The helicopter soon arrived on the scene, but the sides of the mountain were so steep that it could not land. A helicopter usually lands on four wheels, but it can land on two. However, the slope was too steep even for that. The pilot, there fore, kept the helicopter in the air with only one wheel touching the mountain side while the party carried the boy on board.

The most noticeable trend among today's media companies is vertical integration, an attempt to control several related aspects of the media business at once, each part helping the other. Besides publishing magazines and books, Time Warner, for example, owns Home Box Office (HBO), Warner movie studios, various cable TV systems throughout the United States and CNN as well. The Japanese company Matsushita owns MCA Records and Universal Studios and manufactures broadcast production equipment.
To describe the financial status of today's media is also to talk about acquisitions(并购). The media are buying and selling each other in unprecedented numbers and forming media groups to position themselves in the marketplace to maintain and increase their profits. In 1986, the first time a broadcast network had been sold, two networks were sold that year —ABC and NBC).
Media acquisitions have skyrocketed(剧增)since 1980 for two reasons. The first is that most big corporations today are publicly traded companies, which means that their stock is traded on one of the nation's stock exchanges. This makes acquisitions relatively easy.
A media company that wants to buy a publicly owned company can buy that company's stock when the stock becomes available. The open availability of stock in these companies means that anybody with enough money can invest in the American media industries, which is exactly how Rupert Murdoch joined the media business.
The second reason for the increase in media alliances is that beginning in 1980, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) gradually deregulated (解除管制) the broadcast media. Before 1980, for example, the FCC allowed one company to own only five TV stations, five AM radio stations, and five FM radio stations; companies also were required to hold onto a station for three years before the station could be sold. The post-1980 FCC eliminated the three-year rule and raised the number of broadcast holdings allowed for one owner. This trend of media acquisitions is continuing throughout the 1990s, as changing technology expands the market for media products.
The issue of media ownership is important. If only a few corporations direct the media industries in this country, the outlets for differing political viewpoints and innovative ideas could be limited.
What do Time Warner and Matsushita have in common？
听力原文：W: Hey, Dave! I haven't seen you for ages. How have you been？
M: Oh, I'm doing okay, but school has been really busy these days, and I haven't had time to relax.
W: By the way, what's your major anyway？
M: Hotel management.
W: Well, what do you want to do once you graduate？
M: Uh...I haven't decided for sure, but I think I'd like to work for a hotel or travel agency in this area. How about you？
W: Well, when I first started college, I wanted to major in French, but I realized that I might have a hard time finding a job using the language, so I changed my major to computer science. With the right skills, landing a job in the computer industry shouldn't be as difficult.
M: So, do you have a part-time job to support yourself through school？
W: Well, fortunately, I received a four-year academic scholarship that pays for all of my tuition and books.
M: That's great!
W: Yeah. How about you？ Are you working your way through school？
M: Yeah. I work three times a week at a restaurant near campus.
W: Oh, what do you do there？
M: I am a cook.
W: How do you like your job？
M: It's okay. The other workers are friendly, and the pay isn't bad.
