听力原文： Negotiators from China are due to meet their US counterparts in Washington later for talks aimed at ending a dispute over the textiles trade. US manufacturers are concerned the rapid flow of cheap Chinese products into America could drive them out of business. I'm joined now by Tanya B. from New York. Tanya, first of all, what went wrong the last time we had talks between the US and China on textiles？ What are the main sticking points？
Well, the problem really is that the two sides are getting fairly angry with each other. On the one hand China says that you can't do this. This is not in the spirit of free trade globally. On the other hand the US is saying well the quota is expired at the beginning of the year and since then we have seen a surge of Chinese imports and that is disruptive to our markets. So the sticking points are really that the US would like to stick with an agreement to limit the growth of Chinese textile imports.
According to the news, what is the US manufacturers' concern about the Chinese textile imports？

Speaking on CNN's "Late Edition," South Korean Foreign Minister Ban Ki-Moon sounded upbeat about the current round of six-party talks on North Korea's nuclear program.
"I think during the last round of our six party talks, we have entered into a stage of real and substantive negotiations," he said. "This is what we have been doing and, with close consultations between Korea and the United States, also with other related parties, I think we are more or less optimistic that we will be able to result in a substantive resolution of nuclear weapons program this time."
The talks also include North Korea, China, Japan and Russia.
How did the South Korean Foreign Minister feel about the current talks？
This study concludes that an even bigger public health problem has been caused by persistent myths and misconceptions about the threat of radiation among some 350,000 people evacuated from the area. The study also found there was no evidence for increased numbers of deformed babies or fertility problems in the Chernobyl region. The overall message seems to be that fear and misinformation prove to be a bigger threat than the radiation itself.
What does the UN report find about the Chernobyl nuclear disaster？
听力原文： Today I'd like to talk about the sculptor Henry Moore, in particular the ideas his work is based on, and also how he viewed the medium of sculpture. Moore said that to appreciate sculpture a person needs to respond to form. in all of its 3 dimensions. He believed that this is more difficult than responding to art that is done on a flat surface, a surface such as canvas that has only 2 dimensions. For example, when you're looking at a painting you don't have to walk around it. You don't relate to form. and shape in the same way you do when looking at a sculpture. More pay great attention to shapes in nature such as that of bones and shells and stones. He thought that if you could appreciate the shape of something simple, like a stone then you could go on to appreciate more complex forms. He noticed that many of the stones he picked up had holes in them. One distinctive feature of Moore's sculpture is his use of holes or openings to emphasize that he is indeed working in a 3 dimensional medium. He believed that the shape of a hole itself could have as much meaning as that of a solid mass, and could even help create a sense of mass or volume. Moore was also interested m representing the human figure, which he sculpted in such materials as bronze, stone, and wood. His sculptures of humans contained one person as in the work Reclining Figure or several people as in the sculpture Family Group.
What is the talk mainly about？
