"A Strange Death," Hillel Halkin's beautifully written and wisely confused account of the local history of the town he lives in, Zichron Yaakov, takes us back to the earliest days of Jewish settlement in Ottoman Palestine. His ostensible subjects are members of the Nili spy ring operated out of Zichron during World War I by local pioneers on behalf of the British, its ramifications among the local populace and the betrayals and revenge that floated in its wake. He is deeply seduced, however, by the lovely ambiguities of the past as they arise in relationships between Arabs and Jews at a time when both groups were under Turkish rule. Yes, there is murder just around the corner (Jews were hacked to pieces in Hebron and Arabs massacred in Deir Yessin) but in 1916 a man could still be known by the horse he rode from village to village rather than the tank he rolled through in.The spy ring ("Nili" is a Hebrew acronym that translates as "the strength of Israel will not lie" ), which functioned less than a year from the winter of 1916 through the fall of 1917, was the brainchild of Aaron Aaronsohn and Avshalom Feinberg, two Palestine-born Zionists convinced that a British victory over the Turks would help pave the way to a Jewish state. Aaronsohn was a charismatic figure with an international reputation as a botanist (he discovered triticum ioccoides, the wild ancestor of cultivated wheat). Feinberg, a local farmer, was a swashbuckler, a superior shot and impressive horseman. Aaronsohn brought two of his sisters into the ring: Rivka, who was engaged to Feinberg, and the beautiful and spirited Sarah. At 24, Sarah had ahandoned her Turkish Jewish husband in Constantinople and had witnessed, on her journey to Palestine, the Turks' genocidal assault on the Armenians. The network was augmented by Yosef Lishansky, a maverick adventurer and a tough guy, and a few more trusted relatives of the two leaders.
The likelihood of the spies living to comb gray hair wasn't enhanced by the anxieties of some Jews. After a successful run passing information on Turkish troop positions to a British freighter waiting offshore came the inevitable capture, torture and interrogation of an operative, Naaman Belkind and soon enough the jig was up. In October 1917, the Turks cordoned off Zichron. Aaronsohn was luckily in Cairo at the time. Lishansky escaped only to be caught after three weeks, and hanged by the Turks. Sarah was captured and marched through town. Four Jewish women abused, excoriated and perhaps assaulted her, but whether they acted out of animosity or an instinct for self-preservation has never been clear. After being tortured by Turkish soldiers Sarah escaped to her own home long enough to retrieve a hidden gun and shoot herself.
Nothing is at it was, and perhaps it never was as Halkin supposed. In an empty house he finds a discarded, anonymous book, "Sarah, Flame of the NIH." A little research reveals that the hagiography was written by Alexander Aaronsohn, Sarah’s younger brother, who, Halkin also finds out, had a penchant for pubescent girls well beyond his own adolescence. The countryside was thinly populated and the grass grew high; there are secrets in Zichron. At the end of the book, the town has health food stores, gift and antique shops and ice cream parlors. But it has lost its soul.

听力原文： A United Nations conference has adopted measures to speed up global action to protect people and the environment from hazardous wastes. The measures were adopted at a conference in Geneva called to strengthen the Basel Convention, a U.N. treaty that laid down environmental standards for the disposal and management of hazardous wastes.
The United Nations estimates the world produces around 150 million tons of hazardous waste each year. The major achievement of the conference, which concluded Friday, was the adoption of a strategic plan to deal with all this waste.
Around how many tons of hazardous waste does the world produce each year？

Now listen to the interview.
听力原文：Terry: Well what have we got this morning？ The first thing I think is to complete the voice-over for that cutlery commercial.
Joyce: No... I'm afraid you are mistaken. Instead of completing that.., erm... We’ve got to come up with a selling idea for those kitchens. Remember？ The boss will be wanting to see us after lunch. and he'll be expecting it all to be more or less fled up... parcel-like.
Terry: Wouldn't it be better to finish one job before beginning another？ The boss will understand surely.
Joyce: Forgive me Terry if I keep correcting you.., but remember there are deadlines. And when there's a deadline the boss is as immovable as a barnacle.
Terry: So we' II have to come up with the parcel. Any ideas？
Joyce: Absolutely none. And my usually grasshopper brain is not at its come-up-with-the-ideas best this morning. Let's have a look at the details.
Terry: Well... whatever its like we' ye got to make it a dream. Gleaming perfection. slick.., everything fitted-fitted is a key word isn't it-Everything to avoid the impression of the inevitable mess that kitchens actually get in.
Joyce: How clear it is, Mr. Hancock, that you are new to the adman's business. I'm afraid you are on the wrong track. There you are making decisions already... Gatsbying about the office.., thinking already that the key works to this ad are going to be... what.. “timeless, sophisticated beauty” .. “the haute couture of haute cuisine” ... and you’ve forgotten the adman's first rule.
Terry: Which is？
Joyce: Hard deskwork, getting to know the facts. You’ve got to knead the dough before you can ice the cake. Mm. 2Now draw up a pew, will you？ And we' ll look at the ingredients.
Terry: What makes this kitchen different from any other？
Joyce: Now that's a leading question. Mm...Here are some photos. What do you notice？
Terry: They're all different.., the photos I mean. In fact it's different from all the other kitchens on the market-that they're all fixed aren't they？ And this is all.., well. non-fixed,
Joyce: All the various units can be moved about. Now that's sensible. Because there are times...
Terry: ... there are times aren't there when for example you need the chopping-board near the sink...and other times when you need it near the cooker.., and...
Joyce: So you do know something about kitchens.
Terry: Not kitchens exactly. But. cooking.., yes... I do some cooking occasionally.
Joyce: Good for you. The nearest I get to it is jig-sawing tins open and tossing the odd frozen meal into the oven. Perhaps that's what most women now want a kitchen for. simple, function, made to accommodate the haute cuisine of the deep-freezer.
Terry: No... I'm sure you are wrong. Most practical women of the house want a kitchen to be... er... flexible.., er.,. like kitchen used to be.
Joyce: Well, there's one flexible thing at least about this kitchen. What shall we call it？ Mobility of units？ Anyway the idea's there. So there is one thing different about this kitchen.
Terry: Sorry to...er...to correct you Joyce-but there's something else you haven't noticed.
Joyce: Oh, yes？
Terry: You say there's one difference, but in fact there are two. You see most manufacturers of kitchen units produce all the units of the same height.
Joyce: Lot's of working surfaces...yes...but...
Terry: But only one height. It makes production cheaper.
Joyce: Well, surely that's fine. I mean.., there is an ideal working height.
Terry: I beg to differ. You're quite wrong you know. Now what are some of the things you need to do in the kitchen？
Joyce: Unwrap sliced bread, defreeze th
