听力原文: Sept. 16 (Bloomberg)--Three years after the Sept. 11 attacks in the U. S. , two breaches of security in two days at London's Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament prompted calls for increased measures to protect the U. K. capital.
Five protesters yesterday entered the main chamber of the House of Commons as legislators held a debate and on Tuesday a man scaled the wails of Buckingham Palace. The U. K. , which hasn't suffered a devastating terrorist attack since 29 people died in the Real IRA's August 1998 Omagh bombing, is among countries that should revise their approach to security, a study commissioned by the European Union said yesterday.
While Britain has made progress, the incidents "highlight complacency and show that we still have a long way to go," said Sandra Bell, head of homeland security at the Royal United Services Institute, which analyzes security and defense issues. The U.K. needs to work on the "tools and technology" it uses to fight terrorism, she said in a telephone interview.
What made the British government think about strengthening security measures?
A. Some incidents had demonstrated its security problem.
B. The Royal family found it necessary to do so.
C. The House of Parliament proposed to do so.
D. The European Union suggested it doing so.

听力原文: BERLIN (Reuters)--Large nostrils count more than a big nose when it comes to smelling power, said German scientists on Wednesday after completing a three-year-long study aimed at treating smelling disorders.
Researcher Julia Vent from the University of Cologne examined 95 noses of men between 25 and 58 over three years.
"We found the bigger the nostril, the better the smelling power," said University of Cologne spokesman Christoph Uhlhaas. "It is not just outer size that counts." The results also found the right nostril is often more sensitive than the left.
The research mentioned in this news has found that ______.
A. nostrils determine nose size
B. the size of nostrils can change in one's life
C. big nostrils help people tell different smells
D. size of nostrils may be a cause of smell problems
SECTION B INTERVIEW
Directions: In this section you will hear everything ONCE ONLY. Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. Questions 1 to 5 are based on an interview. At the end of the interview you will be given 10 seconds to answer each of the following five questions.
Now listen to the interview.
听力原文:A: How do you and your housemates like the co - up? I'm thinking of joining it myself.
B: We like it quite a bit. We get some very fresh produce. And both staples and fair prices. But it certainly hasn't saved us time. The co - up doesn't carry everything. So we still wind up going to the supermarket too, for cleaning supplies, batteries, that sort of thing. I wish the co - up solved those items. I've been talking about it with some of the other members.
A: What do members have to do? Just to pay a membership fee?
B: Yeah. There is a fee, and there are meetings. But attendance isn't required. But we do have to work there for an hour every week, which isn't too bad. Once you are there, you can get your shopping done.
A: I wouldn't mind working there some time. You get to learn about the products. But is the food free of additives? That will be the main reason I join. I'm a convert from junk food. Until now my diets have been largely chemical additives and pesticides.
B: Well, a lot of food is pure and pesticides - free. They also have ultamine supplements and soy and Toufu and that kind of thing, lots of health food in shop there. So if source health oriented, the co-up is.
A: I'd like to try it just for a month or so. Then if you like it, you can join for a longer periods. And it becomes cheaper. A six month membership costs as much as 5 individual months.
B: Sounds pretty easy. Maybe the next time I run into you again, it will be in the checkout line in the co-up.
What are the speakers mainly discussing?
A. Memberships in a food co - up.
B. Tile benefits of health fond
C. Shopping in the supermarket.
D. The current cost of food
