听力原文： After a generation of no-fault divorce in America, law-makers in some states are being asked to make it harder to end a marriage when one spouse does not want to call it off. Proposals in several states to make contested divorces harder to obtain are supported by conservative groups seeking to promote their concept of family values. These proposals would go back to, in contested cases, the old requirement that one spouse should show the other was "at fault", such as being unfaithful, abusive, a drug user or someone who deserts the marriage. That would be a big shift from current divorce laws.
The no-fault divorce law has been enacted throughout America since California put the first one on the books in 1970. Under such laws, someone can get a divorce on grounds that the marriage has broken down without having to claim wrongdoing by the other spouse. No-fault divorces can be obtained even if one spouse does not agree to dissolve the marriage.
However, many lawyers who specialize in divorce think returning to a fault requirement is a bad idea even though such a change might boost business for them. They think it would only intensify the bitterness of lawsuits and fighting and tearing apart of children that no-fault was initially designed to ease.
So far limits on no-fault have been proposed in several states. Proposals in these states would let couples sign contracts making their marriages harder to dissolve and allow no-fault divorces for couples who agree to split up. Couples with children would have to go through counseling on the impact that divorce might have on a child.

听力原文： The world's first completely automatic railway has been built under the busy streets of London. The railway is called the Victoria Line, and it is part of the complete London underground railway.
The new Victoria Line was opened in 1969. This new line was very different from the others.
The stations on the other lines need a lot of workers to sell tickets, and to check and to collect them when people leave the trains. This is all different of the Victoria Line. Here a machine checks and collects the tickets, and there are no workers on the platforms.
On the train, there is only one worker. If necessary, this man can drive the train. But usually he just starts it; it runs and stops by itself. The trains are controlled by electrical signals which are sent by the so-called "command spots". The Command spot are the same distance apart. Each sends a certain signal. The train always moves at the speed that the command spots allow. If the command spots send no signal, the train will stop.
Most of the control work is done by computers. The computers also fix the train's speeds, and send the signals to the command spots.
Other machines make sure that the trains are always a safe distance apart. One train may stay too long at a station, the other trains will then automatically move slower. So there is no danger of accident on the line.
