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:Interviewer: If you're going to create a TV show that deals week after week with things that are unbelievable, you need an actor who can play a believer, you know, a person who tends to believe everything. Tonight, in our show we have David Duchovny, who has starred in the popular TV series, The X-files. Thanks to his brilliant performance in the TV series, David has become one of the best known figures in the country. Good evening, David, I'm so glad to have you here.
David: It's my pleasure. Thanks for inviting me on the show.
Interviewer: David, have you often been on radio shows?
David: Oh, yes, quite often. To be frank, I love to be on the show.
Interviewer: Why ?
David: You know, I want to know what people think about the TV series, and about me—y acting, etc.
Interviewer: Ok, David, let's first talk about the character you played in The X-files. The character, whose name is Mulder, is supposed to be a believer. He deals with those unbelievable, weird and often bizarre things and events. He must be . .. I mean . . . Mulder, someone who really believes in the things he meets, in order to keep on probing into those mysteries.
David: That's true. Remember those words said by Mulder? "What is so hard to believe? ... Whose iutensity makes even the most skeptical viewer believe the paranormal and outrageous government conspiracies. With every reason to believe that life in the persistence of it is driving us out of our terrestrial sphere, etc. etc .... "
Interviewer: Fabulous! I guess, David, your contribution to the hit series is credibility. Now, let's talk about your personal experience. From what I road, I know that starting from your childhood, you were always a smart boy, went to the best private schools, accepted at most of the Ivy League colleges. Not bad for a lower middle class kid, from a broken family on New York's Lower East Side. So imagine mom's surprise when you, who were on your way to a doctorate at Yale, took a few acting cclasses and got bitten by the bug.
David: You bet. My mother was real surprised when I decided to give up all that in order to become an actor.
Interviewer: Sore. But talking about Mulder, the believer in The X files, what about you, David? Do you believe it all in re al life: the aliens, people from outer space, you know, UFOs, government conspiracies, all the things that the TV series deal with?
David: Well, government conspiracies, I think, are a little far fetched because, I mean, it's very hard for me to keep a secret with a friend of mine, and you're gonna tell me that all entire government is gonna come together and hide the aliens from us? I find that hard to believe. In terms of aliens, I think that tile odds are, there must be.
Interviewer: But you could believe in aliens?
David: Oh, yeah.
Interviewer: The character you played in The X-files, Fox Mulder, is so dark and moody. Are you dark and moody in life?
David: I think so. I think what they wanted was somebody who could be this haunted and driven person but not behave in that way, and therefore be haunted and driven but also appear to be normal and not crazy at the same time. And I think that I could, I can, I can offer that.
Interviewer: What haunts you now? What drives you now?
David: What drives me is failure and success and all those things, so ...
Interviewer: Where are you now? Are you haunted and driven? Failed or successful? Which?
David: Yeah, both.
Interviewer: All of the above?
David: I always feel like a failure.
Interviewer: Do you mean now you feel like a failure?
David: Yeah, I mean,

A. He had excellent academic records at school and university.
B. He was once on a PhD program at Yale University.
C. He received professional training in acting.
D. He came from a single-parent family.

The Village Green in New Milford, Connecticut, is a snapshot of New England charm:a carefully manicured lawn flanded by scrupulously maintained colonial homes. Babysitters dandle kids in the wooden gazebo, waiting for commuter parents to return from New York. On a lazy afternoon last week Caroline Nicholas, 16, had nothing more pressing to do than drink in the early-summer sunshine and discuss the recent events in town. “I don't think a lot of older people knew there were unhappy kids in New Milford, ”she said, “I could see it coming. ”
In a five-day period in early June eight girls were brought to New Milford Hospital after what hospital officials call suicidal gestures. The girls, all between 12 and 17, tried a variety of measures, including heavy doses of alcohol. over-the-counter medicines and cuts or scratches to their wrists. None was successful, and most didn't require hospitalization;but at least two attempts, according to the hospital, could have been vital. Their reasons seemed as mundane as the other happen-stances of suburban life. “I was just sick of it all, ”one told a reporter, “Everything in life. ”Most alarming, emergency-room doctor Frederick Lohse told a local reporter that several girls said they were part of a suicide pact. The hospital later backed away from this remark. But coming in the wake of at least sixteen suicide attempts over the previous few months.this sudden cluster—along with the influx of media—has set this well-groomed suburb of 23,000 on edge. At a town meeting last Wednesday night, Dr Simon Sobo, chief of psychiatry at the hospital, told more than 200 parents and kids, “We're talking about a crisis that has really gotten out of hand. ”Later he added,“There have been more suicide attempts this spring than I have seen in the 13 years I have been here. ”
Sobo said that the girls he treated didn't have serious problems at home or school. “Many of these were popular kids, ”he said, “They got plenty of love, but beneath the reassuring signs, a swath of teens here are not making it. ”Some say that drugs, both pot and‘real drugs’, are commonplace. Kids have shown up with LIFE SUCKS and LONG LIVE DEATH penned on their arms. A few girls casually display scars on their arms where they cut themselves. “You'd be surprised how many kids try suicide, ”said one girl, 17. “You don't want to put pain on other people; you put it on yourself. ”She said she used to cut herself“just to release the pain”.
Emily, 15, a friend of three of the girls treated in, June, said one was having family problems, one was“upset that day”and the third was“just upset with everything else going on”. She said they weren't really trying to kill themselves—they just needed concern. As Sobo noted, “What's going on in New Milford is not unique to New Milford. ”The same underlying culture of despair could be found in any town. But teen suicide, he added, can be a“contagion”. Right now New Milford has the bug-and has it bad.
What is the main subject of the passage?

A. Eight girls committed suicide in New Milford.
B. The village Green is not a charming place.
C. Teenager suicide.
Dr. Simon Sobo's achievements.
