听力原文:Man: When most couples marry, they may discuss some things in advance, like how many children they want to have or where they want to live, but most of the day-to-day details and problems of married life are worked out after marriage. Not so with Bob and Jane, who have a fifteen-page marriage agreement that states the rules they must follow in almost every part of their married life. Today, we have invited Jane, the wife to share with us their unique style. in marriage. Jane, first I'd like to ask why you two decided to write this unusual agreement, You've both been married before, am I right?
Woman: Yes. I've been married once before, and Bob was married twice. In other words, we have some experience about what may go wrong.
Man: Ok, let's check out to see the details in your agreement. It seems you have consented to explicit job division in house chores, right? You will be responsible for the shopping, cooking, and taking care of the garden, while Bob responsible for the laundry, cleaning the house, and car repairs.
Woman: Yes, we found that many problems are caused When a person has different expectations than his or her spouse. We wanted to talk about everything openly and honestly before we started living together. Also we both know how important it is to respect each other's pet peeves. Like, it used to really bug me when my ex-husband left all his stuff such as clothing, papers lying around on the floor, so we put that in the agreement.
Man: I'm sure that some people hearing this report will think that this contract isn't very romantic.
Woman: Well, we disagree. We think it's very romantic. This contract shows that we sat down and talked, and really tried to understand the other person. A lot of problems occur in a marriage when people don't talk about what they want. When we disagreed about something, we worked out a solution that was good for both of us. I would much rather have Bob really listen to me and understand my needs than give me a bunch of flowers or a box of candy.
Man: As stipulated in the agreement, you will wait two years after marriage to start having children, three at a maximum. After the first child, the spouse who makes less money will stop working to take care of the children. Other people may feel that some of these rules sound like a business agreement, as a lot of them are concerned in some way with money, even the rules about having children talk about money.
Woman: In our experience, disagreements about money can cause a lot of problems in a marriage, so we talked about how we want to spend our money and put that in the agreement. For example, we each can spend up to $100 per week on whatever we want. To spend more than the upper limit, both of us must agree about what we will buy.
Man: What happens if one of you breaks a rule?
Woman: Well, that's in our agreement, too. In article 13: If you break a rule, you must apologize and do something nice for the other person to make up for it. To give an example, the other day, we were driving to a friend's wedding, and we got lost. We had already made clear in the agreement that in case of getting lost for more than 5 minutes, we will ask for direction. However, Bob said that he was sure he could figure it out. Well, to make a long story short, we drove forty miles in the wrong direction and ended up being late for the wedding. So in the end, Bob took me out to dinner to show his apology, which lightened me up instantly.

听力原文:Washington: More and more women have begun smoking in America in the last few decades. According to statistics from Health and Human Services, every day in the United States, about 1500 girls begin smoking, while tobacco kills more than 140,000 women each year, and half of those women are between the ages of thirty-five and sixty-nine. Researches also show that though tobacco companies advertise some cigarettes as "light," a light cigarette is just as risky as smoking a regular one. In fact, research shows that people who smoke light cigarettes actually smoke differently in order to get higher levels of nicotine.
Beijing: Close, high-level ties between China and African countries, and enthusiasm shown by Chinese firms, has improved the prospects for trade between the two sides. Bilateral trade and economic co-operation has entered a new phase of all-round, rapid and stable growth since the China-Africa Forum was set up in 2000, according to an official from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce. It is expected that the bilateral trade volume will increase by 25% compared with the same period of last year. Economists attribute the fast growth mainly to the mutual complement in economy and trade of both sides.
Moscow: Speakers of the Russian parliament have announced that neither of the chambers will amend the constitution to pave the way for a third term in office for incumbent President Vladimir Putin. The speakers made the statements in comments on the initiative by a public organization from North Ossetia which called for amending the Constitutional norm to allow the president to run for a third term. According to a nationwide survey, President Putin has the support of more than 80% of the respondents, and there's long been suspicion whether his successor could do such a good job in the future.
Tshwane: Fossils have long provided snapshots of the human family tree, but a new find in Africa gives scientists a kind of mini home movie showing man's primal development. Because the 4.2-million-year-old fossil is from the same human ancestral hot spot in Ethiopia as remains from seven other human-like species, scientists can now fill in the gaps for the most complete evolutionary chain so far. Though there's still suspicion over the authenticity of such fossils, this finding is believed to be very influential in the scientific world.
Los Angeles: Microsoft Corp. said it has signed a three-year, $250 million licensing agreement with China's Founder Technology Group Corp., part of an effort to strengthen the country's intellectual property fights. The agreement follows announcements between Microsoft and Chinese PC makers TCL Group and Tsinghua Tongfang Co. They allow the computer makers to sell PCs with pre-installed, licensed Microsoft Windows software. The issue of intellectual property fights has been very controversial in the negotiation between the governments of China and America, and there's mounting pressure from the US side to push China for better enforcement against piracy, especially in computer-related fields.
