听力原文: Kofi Annan nearing the end of his tenure as U. N. Secretary General urged the United States to shun its go-it-alone stance and take a leadership role in the international community.
None of our global institutions can accomplish much when the U. S. remains aloof. But when it is fully engaged, the sky is a limit.
In an address delivered at Harry Trnman's Presidential Library in Independence, Missouri, Annan waded on the current debate in the Bush administration about changing U. S. policy in Iraq.
"It is important to talk to everyone who is in a position to influence the solution, including Iran and Syria. We should make them part of the solution. We should make them responsible by pulling them in to work with the international community, and tell them what the international community expects of them. I don't think either country would want to remain isolated forever, and if you make them responsible and pull them in to work with you, I think it will be in everyone's interest. We should also not forget that getting Iraq right is not only in the interest of the U. S. and the broader international community but even more so for the countries in the region."
During his two five-year terms as U. N. leader, Annan has tangled often with the Bush administration especially over the invasion of Iraq in March 2003. Annan steps down as the U. N. Secretary General at the end of the month.

A. He wanted the U. S. to stay aloof in the international community.
B. He was nearing the end of his tenure.
C. He has been the U. N. leader for five years.

听力原文:W: Well, Mr. Smith, we have had an interesting discussion about your work. Now, tell us something about your after-work activities.
M: I guess I'm not much different from everyone else. I'm interested in sport, and I run about 3 miles every day. I particularly enjoy cross- country running, where you have to run across fields, jump over streams and so on. While I'm running I think about all sorts of things, and at the end of a run I'm sometimes surprised to find that I've managed to solve a problem that was on my mind. Next year I'm going to try the London Marathon. It's a long, hard race--26 miles, or 42 kilometers--and you have to be tough to finish, but I very much want to do it. I worry a bit about getting old, and I'd like to prove to myself that I'm still almost as fit as I was twenty years ago. I'm interested in climbing as well as running. I'll never become an expert climber, but I know what I'm doing in the mountains. I successfully completed a course in snow and ice climbing when I was younger, and I've done a series of easy climbs in the Alps during the last few years. My wife doesn't share my interest in Mountains. She agreed to go climbing with me once, but she found that she felt ill as soon as she got above 1,000 meters, so we decided to follow different hobbies.
W: You certainly seem to enjoy various types of recreation. All right, Mr. Smith. Thanks for your interesting talk.
