听力原文： The number of job opportunities for pilots in the U. S. is expected to grow about as fast as the average of overall employment growth from 2003 to 2010. However, competition for jobs will continue to be high. Causes that slow growth are a function of mergers and challenges in the airline industry. In addition, advancements in technology reduce the need for Flight Engineers, and video conferencing and teleconferencing reduce the need for business travel. Some industry analysts predict the need for 27,000 new pilots between 2003 and 2010 as a result of retirement. Many of the pilots who were hired in the 1960s are now reaching mandatory retirement age, and thus a few thousand job vacancies are expected to arise each year for the next several years. Note that not many pilots retire early because of the high earnings and benefits, and the fact that their unique skills are not generally transferable to other careers. The employment of pilots is sensitive to changes in the economy. Airlines are forced to furlough or temporarily lay-all pilots during periods when the demand for air travel declines. At times of recession, pilots employed in commercial or corporate flying and flight instruction are adversely affected by the downturn in the economy.
What is expected to rise in the U.S. from 2003 to 2010？

听力原文： Malaysia declared a state of emergency in two coastal cities on Thursday as smoke drifting across the Strait of Malacca from forest fires in Indonesia blanketed parts of peninsular Malaysia in a noxious haze, forcing schools to close and the country's biggest seaport to shut down. In the nation's worst environmental crisis since 1997, when a similar haze enveloped large areas of the region, the smoky haze this year has raised serious health concerns and worries over its economic impact. Two Malaysian government ministers flew to the Indonesian city of Medan on Thursday morning to discuss the situation with their counterparts there.

The second explosion occurred about 10 minutes later in a trash can near a market and injured four people.

听力原文：W: Why did you start rock climbing？
M: Because the rocks were there. At 20 I spent most of my time rock climbing. At 25 I went for the first time to the Himalayas and climbed Nanga Parbat, one of the highest faces in the world.
W: What was your basic interest and motivation in climbing high mountains like the Himalayas？
M: It was only a new dimension for me. I was the first to break this system with the Alpine style, which meant, no fixed ropes, no high altitude camps, and no oxygen.
W: You don't want to bring your equipment to the mountains？
M: Exactly. Otherwise you loose the exposure. I know that all over the world climbers bring 100kg of equipment for communications. For them, the most important thing is to send information to their friends every day, and maybe a television station. It's not my way. I like to be where others are not going and no one knows what I'm doing and I don't know if I'm coming back.
W: So climbing was never a competition.
M: No. Climbing was never even a record. It was a personal experience. Climbing has to do with exposure, endurance, instinct, with knowledge of mountains, knowledge about your own nature. It's interesting to see what happens when a man and a mountain meet. In our inner soul something happens.
