听力原文:Hostess: If you're going to create a TV show that deals week after week with things that areunbelievable, 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 is stared 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.
H: Good evening, David. I'm so glad to have you here.
D: It's my pleasure. Thanks for inviting me on the show.
H: David, have you often been on the radio shows?
D: Oh yes, quite often. To be frank, I love to be on the show.
H: Why?
D: You know, I want to know what people think about the TV series and about me, my acting, etc.
H: 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, 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.
D: That's true. Remember those words said by Mulder? "What is so hard to believe? Whose intensity makes even the most skeptical viewer believe the paranormal and outrageous government conspiracies, with every reason to believe that life in the persistent survey is driving us out of our terrestrial field, etc. etc?"
H: Fabulous. I guess, David, your contribution to the hit series is credibility. Now, let's talk about your personal experience. From what I have read, I know that starting from your hildhood, you're always a smart boy — went to the best private schools, accepted to most of the IVY colleges, not bad for a low-or middle-class kid from a broken family on New York's low eastside. So much to my surprise, when you, who were on your way to a doctor to Yale to fulfill acting classes and get beaten by the buck...
D: You bet, my mother was really surprised when I decided to give up all that in order to become an actor.
H: Sure, but talking about Mulder, the believer in The X-Files, what about you, David? Do you believe it all in real life, the aliens, people from outer space, you know, UFOs, government conspiracies, all the things that the TV series deal with?
D: Well, government conspiracies are, I think, 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 going to tell me the entire government is going to come together and hide the aliens from us? I found that hard to believe. In terms of aliens, I think that the arts are, there must be...
H: But you could believe in aliens?
D: Oh yeah.
H: The character you played in The X-Files, Fox Mulder is so dark and moody. Are you dark and moody in life?
D: I think so. I think what they wanted was somebody who could be this hearted, driven person, but not behave in that way. And therefore be hearted and driven, but also appear to be normal and not crazy at the same time. And I think that I could, I can, I cannot for that.
H: What haunts you now? What drives you now?
D: What drives me is failure and success and all those things, so...
H: Where are you now? Are you haunted and driven? Failed or successful? Which?
D: Yeah, both.
H: All of the above?
D: I always feel like a failure.
H: Do you mean now you feel like a failure?
D: Yeah, I mean sometimes, you know, like, I come back to New York, so it's like, everything is different, so I lie in bed and think — two years ago, three years ago, very different; maybe I'm doing well — but then I think, you know, there're just so many of other things that I want to do and...
H: Your father and mother divorced when you were 11. Does that have effect on your life today that you recognize?
D: Well, yeah. I think that the only way to think of it is that, you know, people are saying your wound is your gold. You know, wherever you hurt,

A. He had excellent academic records at school and university.
B. He was once on a PhD programme at Yale University.
C. He received professional training in acting.

2 He looked good, on paper. He was their top choice. In fact, for this year there were no other prospects. The list was very short. It was McDeere, or no one.
3 The managing partner, Royce McKnight, studied a dossier labeled "Mitchell Y. McDeere. Harvard. "An inch thick with small print and a few photographs; it had been prepared by some ex-CIA agents in a private intelligence outfit in Bethesda. They were clients of the firm and each year did the investigating for no fee. It was easy work, they said, checking out unsuspecting law students. They learned, for instance, that he preferred to leave the Northeast, that he was holding three job offers, two in New York and one in Chicago, and that the highest offer was $76,000 and the lowest was $68,000. He was in demand. He had been given the opportunity to cheat on a securities exam during his second year. He declined, and made the highest grade in the class. Two months ago he had been offered cocaine at a law school party. He said no and left when everyone began snorting. He drank an occasional beer, but drinking was expensive and he had no money. He owed close to $23,000 in student loans. He was hungry.
4 Royce McKnight flipped through the dossier and smiled. McDeere was their man.
5 Lamar Quin was thirth-two and not yet a partner. He had been brought along to look young and act young and project a youthful image for Bendini, Lambert & Locke, which in fact was a young firm, since most of the partners retired in their late forties of early fifties with money to burn. He would make partner in this firm. With a six-figure income guaranteed for the rest of his life, Lamar could enjoy the twelve-hundred-dollar tailored suits that hung so comfortably from his tall, athletic frame. He strolled nonchalantly across the thousand-dollar-a-day suite and poured another cup of decaf. He checked his watch. He glanced at the two partners sitting at the small conference table near the windows.
6 Precisely at two thirty someone knocked on the door. Lamar looked at the partners, who slid the resume and dossier into an open briefcase. All three reached for their jackets. Lamir buttoned his top button and opened the door.
Which of the following is NOT the firm's recruitment requirement?

A. Marriage.
Background.
C. Relevant degree.
D. Male.

2 Much has changed since then. Business and real estate are booming. Some say a new renaissance is under way. Others decry what they see as outside forces running roughshod over the old Harlem.
3 New York meant Harlem to me, and as a young man I visited it whenever I could. But many of my old haunts are gone. The Theresa shut down in 1996. National chains that once ignored Harlem now anticipate yuppie money and want pieces of this prime Manhattan real estate. So here I am on a hot August afternoon, sitting in a Starbucks that two years ago opened a block away from the Theresa, snatching at memories between sips of high-priced coffee. I am about to open up a piece of the old Harlem — the New York Amsterdam News — when a tourist asking directions to Sylvia's, a prominent Harlem restaurant, penetrates my daydreaming. He's carrying a book: Touring Historic Harlem.
4 History. I miss Mr. Michaux's bookstore, his House of Common Sense, which was across from the Theresa. He had a big billboard out front with brown and black faces painted on it that said in large letters: "World History Book Outlet on 2,000,000,000 Africans and Nonwhite Peoples." An ugly state office building has swallowed that space.
5 I miss speaker like Carlos Cooks, who was always on the southwest corner of 125th and Seventh, urging listeners to support Africa. Harlem's powerful political electricity seems unplugged — although the streets are still energized, especially by West African immigrants.
6 Hardworking southern newcomers formed the bulk of the community back in the 1920s and '30s, when Harlem renaissance artists, writers, and intellectuals gave it a glitter and renown that made it the capital of black America. From Harlem, W. E. B. DuBois. Langston Hughes, Paul Robeson, Zora Neal Hurston, and others helped power America's cultural influence around the world.
7 By the 1970s and '80s drugs and crime had ravaged parts of the community. And the life expectancy for men in Harlem was less than that of men in Bangladesh. Harlem had become a symbol of the dangers of inner-city life.
8 Now, you want to shout "Lookin' good!" at this place that has been neglected for so long. Crowds push into Harlem USA, a new shopping centre on 125th, where a Disney store shares space with HMY Records, the New York Sports Club, and a nine-screen Magic Johnson theatre complex. Nearby, a Rite Aid drugstore also opened. Maybe part of the reason Harlem seems to be undergoing a rebirth is that it is finally getting what most people take for granted.
9 Harlem is also part of an "empowerment zone"—a federal designation aimed at fostering economic growth that will bring over half a billion in federal, state, and local dollars. Just the shells of once elegant old brownstones now can cost several hundred thousand dollars. Rents are skyrocketing. An improved economy, tougher law enforcement, and community efforts against drugs have contributed to a 60 percent drop in crime since 1993.
At the beginning the author seems to indicate that Harlem

A. has remained unchanged all these years.
B. has undergone drastic changes.
C. has become the capital of Black America.
D. has remained a symbol of dangers of inner-city life.
