英语四级听力真题及参考答案
英语四级听力真题及参考答案SANY GROUP system office room 【SANYUA16H-2015年12月英语四级听力真题及参考答案Employers have the right to monitor their workers’ online private messages, according to a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). It comes after a Romanian man was fired for sending personal messages while at work. The Strasbourg court sided on Tuesday with the employer of a Romanian engineer who was dismissed from his job after using Yahoo Messenger to communicate with his fiancée while at work.During his time as an engineer, Bogdan Barbulescu was asked by his employer to create a Yahoo Messenger account to answer his clients’ queries. However, he was informed in July that he had breached company rules by using the program for personal reasons, and was subsequently sacked. Barbulescu took his case against Romania to the human rights court later, alleging that his employer’s decision to [01:]end his contract was based on a violation of his right to confidential correspondence.1. What is legal for employers according to the ECHR?2. What can we learn about Bogdan Barbulescu?Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.At the Sifa Primary School outside Nairobi, Kenya, students pay their tuition with a new, local currency called the pesa. The school is one of several institutions that accept the community currency. The currency is widely used by peoplein the Gatina Village. The pesas are equal in value to the Kenyan shilling and can be spent in the community just like cash. The new currency gives poor people more buying power than they would otherwise have. If members of the community have a shortage of the national currency, they can use the community currency to get access to the goods and services they may need. The non-profit group Grassroots Economics introduced the currency here last year. Community currency programs are being set up by non-profit organizations across the world. They help poor communities increase trade and create jobs, according to Grassroots Economics, based in Mombasa, Kenya.It does not replace but rather supplements the national currency system, reported the non-profit group.3. What is the advantage of the pesa?4. What can we learn about the Grassroots Economics?Questions 5 to 7 will be based on the following news item.Health officials in Brazil have declared a state of emergency in several states. They are also warning women not to get pregnant. These extreme actions are the result of a recent rise in birth defects. About 2 400 babies in Brazil were born recently with extremely small heads. The babies have a condition called microcephaly. Microcephaly causes severe brain damage. To date, 29 of these babies have died. The number of microcephaly cases in Brazil is about 10 times higher than what the country usually sees in a year.The US Centers for Disease Control says the link between a virus infectionand microcephaly is being investigated. The virus is called Zika. Zika is spread by mosquitos. Some babies in Brazil with microcephaly have tested positive for the Zika virus while others have tested negative. [05:]The CDC says that Brazil reported its first case of Zika virus in May 2015. Since then, the virus has spread and has caused infections in many Brazilian states and other countries in Latin America.5. What situation is Brazil facing?6. How many deaths have been reported so far?7. What is related to the situation according to the CDC?Section BDirections: In this section,Conversation OneW: Hi Leo, why do you say English would become the world language?M: Well. For one thing, it’s so commonly used. The only language that is used by more people is Chinese.W: Why is English spoken by so many people?M: It’s spoken in many countries of the world because of the British Empire. And now of course, there is the influence of America as well.W: Many students find English a difficult language to learn.M: Oh, all languages are difficult to learn. But English does have two great advantages.W: What are they?M: Well, first of all, it has a very international vocabulary. It has many German, Dutch, French, Spanish and Italian words in it. So speakers of those languages will find many familiar words in English. In fact, English has words from many other languages as well.W: Why is that?M: Well, partly because English speakers have travelled a lot.They bring back words with them, so English really does have an international vocabulary.W: And what is the other advantage of English?M: It’s that English gram mar is really quite easy. For example, it doesn’t have dozens of different endings forits nouns, adjectives and verbs, not like Latin, Russian and German for example.W: Why is that?M: Well, it’s quite interesting actually.It’s because of the French. When the French ruled England, French was the official language, and only the common people spoke English. They tried to make their language as simple as possible. So they made the grammar easier.Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversationyou have just heard.8. What does the man say about Chinese?9. What made English a widely used language?10. What is said to be special about English vocabulary?11. What is the other advantage of English?Conversation TwoWoman: Hello. Is that the sales department?M: Yes, it is.W:Oh,well. My name is Jane Kingsbury of GPF limited. We need some supplies for our design office.M: Oh, what sort?W:Well,first of all, we need one complete new drawing board.M: DO44 or DO45?W:Ah,I don’t know. What’s the difference?M: Well, the 45 costs 15 pounds more.W:So what’s the total price then?M:It’s 387 pounds.W:Dose that include valued-added tax?M: Oh,I’m not sure. Most of the prices do. Yes,I think it does.W:What are the boards actually made of?M: Oh,I don’t know. I think it‘s a sort of plastic stuff these days. It’s white anyway.W:And how long does it take to deliver?M: Oh, I couldn’t really say. It depends on how much work we’ve got and how many other orders there are to send out, you know.W: Ok, now we also want some drawing pens, ink and rulers, and some drawing paper.M: Oh dear. The girl who takes all those supplies isn’t here this morning. So I can’t take those orders for you. I only do the equipment yo u see.W:Ok,well,perhaps I’ll ring back tomorrow.M: So do you want the drawing board then?W:Oh,I have to think about it. Thanks very much. I’ll let you know. Good-bye.M: Thank you.

In fact, they have been in use for centuries. 25 centuries ago, kites were well-known in China. These first kites were probably made of wood. They may even have been covered with silk, because silk were used a lot at that time. Early kites were built for certain uses. In ancient China, they will use to carry ropes to cross rivers. Once across, the ropes were tear down and wooden bridges would hang for them. Legend tells of one General who flew musical kites over the enemies’ camp. The enemy fled, believing the sounds to be the warming voices of angels. By the 15th century, many people flew kites in Europe. Marco Polo may have brought the kite back from his visit to China. The kite has been linked to great names and events. For instance, Benjamin Franklin used kite to prove the lightening electricity. He flew the kite in the storm. He did this in order to draw lightening from the clouds. He tied a metal key and a strip of silk to the kite line. The silk ribbon would stop the lightening from passing through his body. Benjamin’s idea was first laughed at. But later on, it enlightened the invention of the lightening rod. With such grand history, kite flying is short remain an entertaining and popular sport.Question 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 16: What does the speaker say about kite?Question 17: What did ancient Chinese use cats to do?Question 18: Why did BF flied a kite in the storm?短文2I have learnt many languages, but I’m not mastered them the way the professional interpreter or translator has. Still, they have open doors for me. They have allowed me the opportunity to seek jobs in international contexts and help me get those jobs. Like many people who have lived overseas for a while simply got crazy about it. I can’t image living my professional or social life without international interactions. Since 1977, I have spent much more time abroad than in the United States. I like going to new places, eating new foods and experiencing new cultures. Ifyou can speak the language, it’s easier to get to know the country and its people. If I had the time and money. I would live for a year in as many countries as possible. Beyond my career, my facility with languages has given me a few rare opportunities. Once, just after I returned my year in Vienna. I was asked to translate for a German judge at Olympic level horse event and learned a lot about the sport.In Japan, once when I was in the studio audience of a TV cooking show, I was asked to go up on the stage and taste the beef dish that was being prepared and tell what I thought. They asked “Was it as good as American beef?” It was very exciting for me to be on Japanese TV, speaking in Japanese about how delicious the beef was.Questions 19 to 22 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.Question 19 What does the speaker say about herself?Question 20 What does the speaker say about many people who have lived overseas for a while?Question 21 How did the speaker experience of living in Vienna benefit her?Question 22 What was the speaker asked to do in the Japanese studio?短文3Dr. Ben Carsen grew up in a poor single parent house-hold in Detroit.

He could not watch television except for two programs a week, could not play with his friends after school until he finished his homework. And had to read two books a week, and write book reports about them. His mother’s strategy worked. “Of course didn’t know she couldn’t read. So there I was submitting these reports.” he said. She would put check marks on them like she had been reading them. As I began to read about scientists,economists andphilosophers. I started imaging myself in their shoes.

There are other heavenly bodies out there besides the moon and stars. One of the most fascinating of this is a comet. Comets were formed around the same the earth was formed. They are made up of ice and other frozen liquids and gasses. Now and then these dirty snow balls begin to orbit the sun just as the planets do. As a comet gets closer to the sun. Some gasses in it begin to unfreeze. They combine with dust particles from the comet to form a huge cloud. As the comet gets even nearer to the sun and solar wind blows the cloud behind the comet thus forming its tail. The tail and generally fuzzy atmosphere around the comet are characteristics that can help identify this phenomenon in the night sky. In any given year, about dozen known comets come close to the sun in their orbits. The average person can’t see them all of course. Usually there is only on e or two a year bright enough to be seen with the naked eye. Comet Hale-Bopp discovered in 1995 was an unusually bright comet. Its orbit bought relatively to the earth within 122 million miles of it. But Hale-Bopp came a long way on its earthly visit. It w on’t be back for another 4 thousand years or so.参考答案1. B.

There are more than 400 museums in the US that celebrate the history of the military. But not a single one devoted to American diplomacy. That’s about to change. A new museum celebrating the history of American diplomacy is being built at the US Department of State. The US Diplomacy Center (USDC) will feature 238 years of American diplomatic history, as well as an education area for students interested in diplomatic careers. The USDC has collected over 6 200 objects to display in the new, 20 000-square-foot museum.Building started on the museum in 2014. Secretary of State John Kerry, along with five former Secretaries of State, was present for the ceremony. Once all the funding and design plans are completed, the museum is projected to open in 2017, said a spokesman for the project.1. What is the news report mainly about?2. What can we learn about the project from the news report?A conflict is forming on the streets of New York City between legal and illegal food trucks and carts. The city grants 5 100 food vending permits every two years. The permit is issued by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Most of the permit holders pay $200 to renew their permit every two years. Some permit holders rent their license, or permit, for a profit. Some cart or truck operators pay more than $20 000 for a food vending permit.Because there is greater demand than supply of permits, a black market for the licenses has emerged. It is reported that transferring or renting these permits to another vendor is illegal. But many vendors have turned to this illegal black market for permits. The vendors say getting a cart or truck permit can take 10 to 15 years. Some vendors work the street unlicensed.3. How much should the permit holders pay to renew the permit?4. Why has a black market for the licenses emerged?A burial place in Washington, DC is using goats instead of poison to remove weeds. Congressional Cemetery is near Capitol Hill. There are more than 65 000 graves there.In recent years, many weeds have grown in the cemetery. Officials did not want to usepoisons, to kill the weeds. The cemetery is near the Anacostia River. Officials have worked for many years to remove pollutants from the river, which runs through the city. So cemetery officials decided to use goats. The animals are less costly than chemicals and do not hurt the environment. And the goats eat a lot of weeds.The animals are owned by Mary Bowen, a farmer. She operates a company called Browsing Green Goats. The cemetery pays her company more than $11 000 to have the goats remove unwanted plants from each hectare of the cemetery. But Mary Bowen says that is about half the cost of using herbicides. She hopes the goats will help more people understand that they can keep their property free of weeds without hurting the environment.5. What new measure is taken to kill the weeds in Congressional Cemetery?6. Why is the new measure taken?7. What does Mary Bowen do?Section BConversation OneM: Ace Employment Agency. Good morning.W: Good morning. I wonder if you can help me. I’m looking for a job.M: I’ll see what we can do. Uh...Have you been to us before?W: No. But you’ve managed to get jobs for some of my friends. So I thought, perhaps, you know...M: Yes, I see. First of all, could you give me your full name?W: Yes, of course. Susan Hollies.M: Good. And could I have your phone number?W: Yes. 7788992.M: Fine. And your date of birth, please?W: Feb. 3rd, 1980.M: Thank you. Now, education. Which school did you go to?W: I went to a secondary school in South Town.M: And have you been to college?W: No. I left full-time education when I was 18.M: I see. Any qualifications?W: Yes. I gained a shorthand and typing diploma at evening classes.M: That’s good. Now, where are you working at the moment?W: Well, I’ve got a job as a shorthand-typist. But I’m not enjoying it very much and it doesn’t pay very well.M: I see. Have you applied for any other jobs?W: Yes. I thought I’d like to be a policewoman. But they turned me down because I was too short.M: What would you like to do now, then?W: Well, I think I’d like to work in a travel agency.M: I see. I think the best thing is for me to see what we might find for you. And then... Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.8. How did the woman get to know about the man’s company?9. What formal education did the woman receive?10. What do we learn about the woman’s occupation?11. What will the man probably do next?Conversation TwoW: Steve, can you tell me how long you’ve been a pub owner?M: Well, four years, I suppose. I’ve been involved with pubs off and on for ten years. I’ve sort of done hotel work and I’ve also run a restaurant pub. And now I’ve got what you call a good old-fashioned pub. That is a public bar, with all the social games going with it, which is what we’ve always wanted to have, you know.W: It sounds like you’ve always worked in pubs, but not always in this one.M: No, no. I worked in quite a variety of pubs.W: What makes a good pub? I mean, you said, you know, it has got a good variety of things.M: Well, I think having the right customers to start with, selling the right beer, keeping it good, and most of all, keeping a good attitude yourself, even though you probably feel very tired. But the idea is, if you generate from your side, it’s got to affect the other side, if you’re getting the right customers in.W: Yeah. I must say that’s one thing that has always struck me about being a pub owner. I mean, a lot of people seem to think that it’s a nice job, you know. Everybody says, “Oh, I’d love to retire and get a country pub.” But it seems to me that it’s actually very hard work.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.12. What does the man say about his involvement with pubs?13. What characterizes the old-fashioned pub according to the man?14. What does the man say is the most important in making a good pub?15. What does the woman think of running a country pub?Section CPassage OneTo help ourselves and others, it’s important to know something about drugs. A drug is a chemical substance. It can bring about a physical, emotional, or mental change in people. Alcohol and tobacco are drugs. Caffeine, a substance found in coffee and some soft drinks, is also a drug.Drug abuse is the use of a drug, legal or illegal, that hurts a person or someone close to him. A drug user is the person who takes the drug. There are many kinds of drug users. Experimental users may try drugs once or twice. They want to see what the effects will be. Recreational users take drugs to get high. They use drugs with friends or at parties to get into the mood of things. Regular users take drugs all the time. But they are often able to keep up with the normal routine of work. Dependent users can’t relate to anything but drugs. Their whole life centers around drugs. They feel extreme mental or physical pain without drugs. It’s not always easy to tell that someone is using drugs. In the early stages, drug use is often hard to see. Sometimes, people like drugs or need drugs so much that they can’t do without them. They are dependent upon drugs. Only a few kinds of drugs can cause physical dependence. But almost any drug, when it’s misused, can make a person think he needs it all the time. By this time, it’s too late and the person is hooked. Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What does the speaker say about drug abuse?17. What does the speaker say about recreational drug users?18. What does the speaker say about drug dependence?Passage TwoAccording to Charles Harper, Chairman of ConAgra, the Healthy Choice line of frozen dinners began with his own heart attack. It has been brought on by years of eating anything he could get his hands on. As he lay in the hospital recovering, Harper imagined the line of healthy frozen foods that tasted good. The Healthy Choice product line was carefully tested with consumers before being introduced to the general public. ConAgra’s research and development staff spent a year working under the instruction “Whatever the cost, don’t sacrifice taste.” The first test market results surprised even the ConAgra team. The low-sodium, low-fat frozen dinners sold much better than expected. According to the firm’s vice-president of marketing and sales,“We benefited from low expectations. The products were much better than people thought they would be.” This finding supported ConAgra’s decision to position the product against other high-quality frozen dinners rather than as a diet or health food. The new product’s brand name and packaging were an important part of the development process. The name Healthy Choice was chosen for the positive implication it held for consumers. Because ConAgra felt the product would be an impulse purchase, it was important to make the item stand out in the freezer case. This was accomplished through the dark green packaging that not only differed from the competitors but also suggested freshness and richness in vitamins.Questions 19 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. What did Charles Harper think of while he was in hospital?20. What does the passage say about the Healthy Choice product line before it went to market?21. What is said to contribute to ConAgra’s business success?22. What does the speaker say about the name Healthy Choice?Passage ThreeIn the United States, 36 states currently allow capital punishment for serious crimes such as murder. Americans have always argued about the death penalty. Today, there is a serious question about this issue: Should there be a minimum age limit for executingcriminals? In other words, is it right for convicted murderers who kill when they are minors—that is, under the age of 18—to receive the death penalty? In most other countries of the world, there is no capital punishment for minors. In the United States, though, each state makes its own decision. Of the 36 states that allow the death penalty, 30 permit the execution of minors. In the state of South Carolina, a convicted murderer was given the death penalty for a crime he committed while he was a minor. In 1977, when he was 17 years old, James Terry Roach and two friends cruelly murdered three people. Roach’s lawyer fought the decision to execute him. The young murderer remained on Death Row for ten years while his lawyer appealed to the governor. The lawyer argued that it is wrong to execute a person for a crime he committed while he was a minor. In the United States, the governor of a state has the power to change a sentence from the death penalty to life in prison. Nonetheless, the governor of South Carolina refused to stop the execution. Roach was finally executed in 1986.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.23. What does the speaker say about the death penalty in the United States?24. What is the focus of the debate around the death penalty?25. What does the speaker say about James Terry Roach? This is the end of listening comprehension.。

参考范文:Learning is a daily experience and a lifetime mission. This is a proverb full of logic. In other words, learning is significant in our whole life. Indeed, we can learn many things from it. If you understand it and apply it to your study or work, you’ll necessarily benefit a lot from it.There are many reasons which can explain this phenomenon and the following are the typical ones. The first reason is that learning can light our road in the coming future. There is no denying the fact that the society is developing increasingly fast and we are often easily surpassed by the people around. The only way to avoid this is to learn to improve ourselves. As an illustration, I’d like to take myself as an example. After graduation from college, my life has been full of working pressure, which contributes to my decision of pursuing further education. That’s why I can make my own way in such a competitive society.The effect of learning can be boiled down to two major ones. First, with the spirit of learning, we are more capable of overcoming the difficulties in the future. More importantly, we can enrich our spare time life by learning. No matter who you are, you must remember that learning is the basic skill in our life.写作第二版:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the saying "Listening is more important than talking." You can cite examples to illustrate the importance of paying attention to others' opinions. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.破题思路:第一段: 解释引言内容. 提出文章的主旨: “倾听重要性”第二段: 分析原因此处可以结合例子.第三段: 得出结论此文章写作时可以全面参照有道考神四级写作课程中“功能句”的讲解。
大学本科大英语四听力15个词(1)
Compound DictationDirections: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 1 to 7 with the exact word(s) you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 8 to 10 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact word(s) you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.Passage OneGetting old is something that happens to all of us, and like taxes it is sadly inevitable. That doesn't mean that everyone has to like getting old, and to varying degrees we might find this idea hard to swallow. However, worries about aging can go to extremes and become a fear and a distraction that needs to be dealt with. So if you find yourself very scared of getting old, how can you go about overcoming this fear and viewing aging in a more natural and healthy manner?In any case, it is crucial to recognize how your fear develops. Psychologists generally believe the fear of aging is in essence a common fear of death. If you are scared of getting old, you may be a person who easily has adverse reactions to stimuli associated with death, for example, the sight of someone aging painfully or a picture of skulls. If this is the case, you should face the unpleasant scene or memory with a sensible mind so that you can understand the fear better and lessen its impact. Meanwhile, it is important to focus on not only the negative aspects of getting old, but also the positive. You should recognize that many people actually reach old age gracefully, and they go on to lead great lives full of exploration, adventure and personal achievement.Furthermore, there are in fact many reasons to look forward to getting old. For instance, when you are older, you will gain more respect from your peers, and you become more contented with life. At the same time, you will be able to have real freedom from the burden of work, of education, or of others being dependent on you. You now have a chance to slow down and enjoy life.Passage TwoCamping holidays have become extremely popular among young people. Camping as a distinctive way of spending a holiday has so much to offer. You enjoy absolute freedom. You are bound by none of the headaches of advance hotel booking or driving round and round a city at midnight looking for a lodging room. There are no cold hotel breakfasts, no bad-mannered staff to tip. For a ridiculously small sum of money, you can have really great fun and enjoy comforts which few hotels could provide.Modern camping sites are well-equipped with hot and cold running water and even shops and dance floors. Low-cost holidays make camping an attractive proposal. But above all, you enjoy amazing mobility. If you don't like a place, or if it is toocrowded, you can simply get up and look for a new location. Conversely, you can stay as long as you like. You're the boss, after all.It's so thrilling to arrive at a camp site, put up your tent and start getting a meal ready. You are active all the time and you are always close to nature. Imagine yourself beside some clear stream with mountains in the background, taking delight in the fresh air and the peace of the scenery. Camping provides you with a real change from everyday living. You get up earlier and go to bed earlier. You have a tremendous opportunity to meet people of various nationalities and to share with them your pleasures of being in nature. For a few precious weeks in the year, you really adopt a completely different way of life. And that's the essence of true recreation and real enjoyment.Passage ThreeMedia reports say China now ranks the third in the world in terms of the number of plastic surgeries, behind the US and Brazil. More than 3.4 million plastic surgeries were carried out in China in 2010, generating revenues of about 48 billion US dollars. With the rapid development, more teenagers or middle school students also come to seek cosmetic surgery, particularly during the summer and winter vacations. Some have their parents with them, and some do not.Most public hospitals won't accept a minor asking for cosmetic surgery if the teenager does not have his or her parents' consent to the procedure. However, some medical organizations do perform it on minors without parental approval.It is advised that children under 18 should be disqualified from plastic surgery, as they are not physically ready for image-changing operations. Lots of teenagers are endangered by cosmetic surgery due to rising medical accidents in this industry. Statistics have shown that the plastic surgery industry is one of the industries that are confronted with the most complaints in China. Over the past 10 years, more than 200,000 consumers complained that their facial looks had been impaired. Despite this, plastic surgery is still popular. As was indicated by an online survey, 71 percent of the respondents said today's social aesthetic values have led to a fascination with plastic surgery. Many people believe that one's looks are just another service that can be bought for a price.Judging people by their appearance is a common practice in many countries. Some people keep the faith that a pretty face can extend their competitive edge. Even if potential dangers remain, they are often overshadowed by the probable dramatic increase of wealth stemming from changes of appearance.Passage FourAre you in New York or planning on visiting the city? Write down this name: Blue Note Jazz Club. Blue Note is one of the premier jazz clubs in the world and animportant cultural institution in Greenwich Village, New York City. When it was started in 1981, the owner and founder Danny Bensusan had a vision to create a jazz club that would treat deserving artists with respect, while providing customers with opportunities to see the world's finest jazz musicians in a close, comfortable setting. Artists who had stopped playing in jazz clubs decades before, such as Sarah Vaughn, Lionel Hampton and Ray Brown, soon called Blue Note home. Jazz is undoubtedly America's music, and while Blue Note strives to preserve the history of jazz, the club is a place where progression and innovation are encouraged and practiced on a nightly basis. In addition to the main acts that feature renowned jazzists, Blue Note has introduced the Monday Night Series and the bi-weekly Late Night Groove Series, which are appealing to both musicians and fans. Over the years, Blue Note has been an economic engine for Greenwich Village, drawing not only some of the biggest names in jazz but also talented newcomers. It has been the meeting point for jazz artists and fans. At Blue Note, there is a unique intimacy between the audience and the musician. Another thing that makes Blue Note so special is that on a given night, anything can happen. It is not uncommon to see prominent jazz musicians like Stevie Wonder and Tony Bennett get called up on the stage and improvise (即兴演出). After over 30 years of success, Blue Note continues to carry the torch for jazz into the 21st century in the cultural heart of New York.Passage FiveI n the late 1950s, the French government paid great attention to the quality of products. It was stressed that workmanship and quality were more important than quantity for industrial production, and that it would be strategically necessary for the country to produce quality goods for the international market to compete with those produced in other countries. As was agreed, the French economy needed a larger share of the international market to even up its import and export trade. Why was it the case? French industrial and agricultural production at that time was still inadequate to meet the immediate demands of its people, let alone long-ranged developments. Essential imports had stretched the national credit to breaking point. Meanwhile, the runaway inflation was constantly exerting an impact on the general population through the cost of food. To address these problems, French government increased wages and paid extensive allowance and benefits for families. It also provided full-time and even overtime employment. Yet, taken together, these factors only enabled the working class to exist but allowed them no sense of long-term security. In this discouraging situation, workers were willing to seek employment overseas for higher wages. However, the French government was reluctant to let workers leave the country because it was worried that the emigration of workers would scale down the size of its labor force. And in turn, the lack of qualified labor force would affect the quality of industrial goods produced in France. Besides, qualified workers employed abroad would help multiply the quantity of high-quality goods produced in foreign countries, which would make it harder for France to compete in the international market.Passage SixThese days the media is full of stories of celebrities' private lives: their relationships, clothing, hairstyle and so on. Society seems to have a never-ending appetite for this type of gossip. Nevertheless, there has been heated controversy over the enormous media coverage of celebrities' lives.Supporters of the media seem to have strong arguments. One of their claims is that celebrities choose to be publicized, that is, they invite media attention on purpose, despite being aware that this will leave themselves exposed to public attention. Therefore, they have no reason to feel resentment toward the media. In addition, the public has the right to know about the famous since it is their money that supports them, for instance through purchase of tickets, DVDs and music downloads. Thus, celebrities have to give up some privacy when choosing to do something that puts them in the spotlight.However, I strongly feel that celebrities deserve to be protected from the media. Firstly, celebrities do have the right to privacy, just like any other person. Although they may seek to be known, this doesn't mean that the media is justified to interfere in every detail of their private lives. Secondly, the media may be wrongly utilized to spread untrue and manipulated news. Reporters are sometimes more interested in selling a story than in investigating something of genuine importance. Lastly, the unwelcome attention from the media can cause psychological and physical damage, either to the celebrities themselves, or to the journalists. In attempting to maintain their image, celebrities may repress rage, fear or sadness caused by negative or excessive media coverage. Sometimes, if they are pushed too far, they may also be provoked into aggressive responses.On balance, I believe that celebrities have the right to say No to the media when their privacy is subject to unwanted intrusion (侵扰).。
