听力原文:Environmentalists say pollution is terrible and becoming worse. Businessmen retort that a real cleanup would cost too much. The ordinary citizen believes both: the environment is indeed going down the drain, but so might his job if anyone tries to stop that. All of them, it turns out, are wrong.
Recent statistics show that, in rich countries at least, many of the worst pollution problems are far smaller than they used to be — and that the costs of this success have so far been small.
Start with air pollution. The dreaded greenhouse gases are still flowing into the atmosphere. But output of gases that attack the ozone layer is well under control. Production of CFCs used in refrigerators has fallen by two-thirds since the mid- 1980s. Many pollutants have been beaten back. The flow of oxides of sulfur, which contribute to evils such as acid rain and smog, has fallen by around a third in rich countries since 1980. Emissions of lead, soot and carbon monoxide—each hazardous to human health—have also fallen sharply.
Water quality has improved in many ways. There is still worry about chemicals, such as fertilizers and heavy metals, draining off the land. But many of the organisms that once infested rich-world waterways — and which still kill millions in poor countries — are retreating steadily. Progress is due largely to the spread of waste water treatment.
Has this cost jobs? There is no evidence for that. Spending on pollution control amounts to 1% — 2% of GDP in most rich countries, but that has not cut jobs overall.
Question :What is this passage mainly about?
(30)

An arguement for environmental protection.
B. An arguement against environmental protection.
C. An arguement for common citizens.
D. A clarification of a misconception about environment pollution and its cost.

听力原文:Lisa: David, could you explain the company's organization to me, as I find it a bit confusing?
David: Oh, yes, 1 understand. It does seem a bit complicated at first, but after you've been working here for a while, you'll soon know who everyone is. Basically, there are two main offices in China, which are both controlled by the China Country Manager.
Lisa: Yes, I've got that. So, the Northeast Operation Manager...where is he based?
David: That's me actually. My office is in Shanghai, but I have to travel a lot to Beijing and Tianjin, as we have customers there too.
Lisa: Okay. And for South China...that's Guangzhon...you have an Operations Manager also?
David: Yes, that's fight. So we both report to the Country Manager.
Lisa: Yes, I see.
David: Now, under me there's a Technical Manager and a Sales Manager.
Lisa: Okay. And what is the Technical Manager responsible for?
David: Well, Quality Control. we have one person who does that and...er...he's also responsible for the Laboratory Manager. The Lab Manager supervises the operators- they're the ones who actually operate the machines.
Lisa: Mm...and what about the Sales Manager, who does he manage?
David: Well he heads the Sales Team. Each one of the sales people is responsible for selling in one area—er, one for Jiangsu, one for Zhejiang, and so on. And that's really the Shanghai Team. Now, as you can see the Guangzhou Office is organized slightly differently.
Lisa: Yes, it must be a bigger office, isn't it?
David: Yeah, that's it...er...it's a bit bigger, 'cause they cover Hong Kong too. So under the Operation Manager, there's a Production Manager, a Lab Manager, and a Sales Manager.
Lisa: Right. So, the Production Manager...he's er...or she?
David: He ... actually...you'll meet Bill later today. He's responsible for Quality Control...there are two people in Guangzhou doing that...and for the operations and the cleaners. He's very strict actually; he supervises everyone very strictly.
Lisa: Oh, really?
David: Oh yeah, he's very good. Quite a big team for the South of China. So, that's it. Is that all you wanted to know for the moment?
Lisa: Yes, thank you. I'm sure I'll find out more as I go along.
