听力原文： European Union foreign ministers are putting pressure on Turkey to recognize Cyprus if Ankara expects to ever join the 25-nation bloc. Turkey is to begin negotiations on October 3 that could eventually lead to EU membership for the predominately Muslim nation of 70 million people. But Ankara's refusal to recognize the government of Cyprus—an EU member—has east a shadow over the process. Further complicating matters are recent referendums in France and the Netherlands, in which voters rejected an EU constitution, partly out of concern about Turkey joining the Union.
One suggestion is to offer Turkey something less than full EU membership, a proposal tacitly backed by Austrian Foreign Minister Ursula Plassnik. However, Turkey rejects anything but full EU membership. Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul says the idea of a so-called privileged partnership with the EU, is in his words, "illegitimate and immoral."
What presents a barrier to Turkey's joining the EU？
Edouard Manet's Races in the Bois de Boulogne is similar to Picasso's works in all the following aspects EXCEPT
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：W: Russ, it's good to see you.
M: Good morning, Vera, nice to see you.
W: So the job market is good, ha？
M: It's very good. Employers planned to hire about 14% more grads this year than last, a very good time to bean accounting major, engineering major, finance major, but really the demand is across the board; it's the best job market we've seen in 4 or 5 years.
W: And what do you attribute this hiring surge to？
M: Ah, largely a reflection of the economic conditions. Corporate growth of course has been good; corporate profits are strong, so companies feel more comfortable hiring. As you know, the entry-level market is most sensitive to the economic conditions.
W: Right.
M: Conditions are good; hiring is on the up.
W: What about starting salaries？ Are they higher this year than years past？
M: Those are very good as well. There are up about 6 percent more this year than last with the average starting salary at a whopping 46,000 dollars and you can deem better then if you're an engineering major or looking at potentially 50, 55 thousand dollars to start, perhaps even the signing bonuses are making a comeback as well.
W: You are talking about our starting salaries years ago. Well, that's a lot different. Now the market is so good now. There is competition among employers to hire these folks.
M: Yes, that's a good point. Nearly 9 out of 10 employers in fact say that competition this year is stronger than last.
W: Hmm. You've got some advice for college grads as they're looking for a job. The first thing you say is do not rely on the Internet, why？
M: Don't rely on the Internet as your only job searching strategy. It's fine if it's a component of the strategy, but should not be your only strategy, because only about 25 percent of the jobs are advertised in any public medium and only about 5 percent of the job seekers actually end up getting a job through an advertisement. So your best job searching tool is networking, word of mouth...
W: Second thing you just mentioned is networking. For those kids who don't quite grasp what networking is, why don't you turn to break it down？
M: Get out there, and get the word out, go to your college and ask them for a list of local alumni who are in the field that you're interested in pursuing. Find out about relevant trade organizations, attend some varied functions and if you get some leads, try to set up a few informational interviews.
W: And what do you mean by the informational interviews？ If I've been an employer, I'm gonna say "You're wasting my time. Why am I talking to you？" What is the point of an informational interview？
M: Just a great way really to learn more about the industry and potential jobs. Within the industry, you might pick up a few leads or two, get a few contacts and you might get some good advice along the way. I just think it's a very non-threatening, less intimidating way for college grads to at least get their foot in the door, build up a little confidence. And statistics do show they earn more than I5 times likely to land a job through an informational interview than simply by sending your resume out blindly, which is a big mistake.
W: I see. OK, you've clone all these things, now you're ready for the real doing. You wanna go into an interview to get a job.
M: Right.
W: What advice do you have？
M: You gotta go in there confidently, ready to take charge. You should know all about the company before you go in there. Ask very specific questions about growth opportunities within the organization. Also wanna be a good listener, because it might be your qualifications, your
听力原文： A new form. of treating grief following the death of a loved one has been found to be more successful than conventional psychotherapy in some patients. Complicated grief includes intense feelings that last six months or longer, according to psychiatrist Katherine Shear of the University of Pittsburgh. Experts say people suffering from complicated grief do not respond well to traditional psychotherapy. So, Dr. Shear and colleagues developed a new form. of treatment designed to get those with complicated grief to both accept their loss and focus on their personal life goals. The therapy includes "revisiting"—tape recording the patient telling the story of the loved one's death—and having the patient listen to the story daily, to help them lessen the intensity of emotion. The patient also tells the loved one things they didn't get to hear in life.
In a study comparing the two types of therapy, 51 percent of people with complicated grief were helped compared to 28 percent of people receiving traditional psychotherapy.
According to Dr. Shear, complicated grief
