听力原文: Well, Toyota really appears to be on the verge of becoming No. 1 worldwide. Now the Japanese automaker has been ramping up production for next year, planning to produce 9.4 million vehicles. That's 4% more than this year, and it is apparently lifting it right past General Motors. GM hasn't given a production target for next year, but it has been forced to slash jobs, scale back on production after seeing its market share eroded by Asian automakers. GM has been the global leader for many decades. Now Toyota stock closed up nearly 1.5% , but it was a very different story for the rest of the market. There was no Santa Claus rally after a surprise decline in orders for durable goods. The Dow Industrials, as you see, with this shot of the Big Board at the New York Stock Exchange fell 78 points. The NASDAQ Composite lost about two-thirds of a percent. Trading volume was very light and the market will be closed on Monday, Christmas day. Typical of the day Research in Motion initially rose on a positive earnings report. The maker of the Blackberry wireless e-mail devices posted a 47% increase in quarterly profits, but by the end of the day, shares were down nearly 3%.

听力原文: Pope John Paul in a visit to Germany is trying to ease the historic division between Catholics and Protestants by saying both groups share blame for the 16th century schism led by Martin Luther. VOA’s Karl King reports while praising four German church figures for their opposition to Nazism, the Pope pulled back from prepared remarks defending the church’s role during the Hitler regime. Church official has no explanation for the Pope’s decision to omit remarks from a prepared speech he delivered at an open-air mass outside the northwestern city of Patagon. The remarks which were in the text delivered to reporters before the event defended the church’s role during the Nazi time and claimed the church played a broad role in resistance to Hitler. Analysts who were watching the Pope’s visit say the remarks he dropped from his mass had appeared to contradict his own bishops in Germany who said the church did not do enough to resist the Nazi regime. On Sun day, the Pope travels to Berlin where he will beatify a priest who died in jail after giving sermons against the persecution of the Jews and another who was sent to a concentration camp for expressing regret that Hitler did not die in an assassination attempt. Analysts say the Pope’s 3-day visit is aimed at shoring up support in Germany where there has been some descent to authority in Rome. More than one million Catholics in Germany signed a petition last year asking the Pope to relax his opposition to birth-control. So far Pontiff has shown no sign of giving in to the demand.
In a visit to Germany, Pope John Paul said ______ is responsible for the 16th century schism led by Martin Luther.

A. both the Catholics and Protestants
B. the Catholics
C. the Protestants
D. neither of the two
