listen to this练习：高级英语听力Lesson FourteenSection One： News in BriefTapescript1. State Department spokesman Bernard Kalb resigned today be-cause of the Reagan Administration's alleged disinformation cam-paign against Libya. The Washington Post reported last week thatthe administration planted false information about Libya in an effortto destabilize the government of Muammar Ouddafi. Kalb todav didnot confirm or deny that such a campaign tool,-- place, but he said re-ports about it had damaged the credibility of the US. The State De-partment would not comment on Kalb's resignation.2. The State Department todav criticized the Nicaraguan govern-ment for allegedly refusing to grant US officials access to EugeneHasenfus. He's the survivor of Sunday's plane crashinsideNicaragua. State Department spokesman Charles Redmond.'Ourrepresentative was not received by the Nicaraguan government. Andwe view this with the utmost seriousness. The renderingof consularservices is an essential part of the function of an embassy. TheSandinista government has once again taken action to make thatfunction difficult and has raised the question of whether, indeed, aUS embassy can function normally within Nicaragua. We franklycannot accept the delay in granting consular access since theSandinista government has apparently gone to some lengths to pa-rade Mr. Hasenfus before the press, and considering the fact that agovernment spokesman stated clearly last night onAmerican televi-sion that access would be granted.' Meanwhile President Reagantoday denied that the downed plane allegedly carrying arms toContra rebels was operating-under official US orders. He also ac-knowledged that the government has been aware thatprivateAmerican groups and citizens have been helping the anti-govern-ment forces in Nicaragua.Section Two： News in DetailTapescriptLast week the Washington Post reported that top-leveloffi-cials had approved a plan to generate real andillusionary events tomake Libya's Colonel Muammar Quddafi think the United Statesmight once again attack. Bernard Kalb's resignation is the first inprotest of that policy. A similar resignation occurred at the WhiteHouse in 1983 when a deputy quit to protest misleading statementsgiven to the press shortly before the American invasion of Grenada.NPR's Bill Busenberg has more on today's announcement.Bernard Kalb had been a veteran diplomatic correspondent forCBS and NBC before being picked two years ago by Secretary ofState George Shultz to be the Department's chief spokesman, offi-cially an Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs. His brother, MarvinKalb, is still with NBC. Today, Bernard Kalb surprised his formercolleagues in the news media by,quitting over the issue of the admin-istration's disinformation program. Kalb would not confirm thatthere was such a program, but he said he faced a choice of remainingsilent or registering his dissent. And even though the issue appearedto be fading from the news, Kalb grappled with it privately and de-cided he had to act.'The controversy may vaiiish, but when vou are sitting alone, itdoes not go away. And so I've taken the step of stepping down.''rhe State Department has reportedly been involved in thedisinformation issue, but Kalb said his guidelines have always beennot to fie or mislead the press, and he has not done so. Kalb went outof his way today to praise Secretary Shultz, a man, he said, of suchoverwhelming integrity that he allows other people to have their ownintegrity.'In taking this action, I want to emphasize that I am not dis-scriting from Secretary Shultz, a man of credibility, rather I am dis-senting from the reported disinformation program.'Kalb's comments suggested Shultz perhaps did not go alongwith the disinformation program, but in public, the Secretary ofState has defended the administration's policies against Libya, say-ing in New York last week： 'I don't have any problems with the littlepsychological warfare against Quddafi." He also quoted WinstonChurchill as saying, 'In time of war truth i, --o precious, it must@ beattended by a bodyguard of lies.' Shultz was asked about thedisinformation effort last Sunday on ABC.'I don't lie. I've never taken part in any meeting in which it wasproposed that we go out and lie to the news media for some effect.And if somebody did that, he was doing it against policy. Now hav-ing said that, one of the results of our action against Libya, from theintelligence we've received, was quite a period of disorientation onthe part of Quddafi. Sol to the extent we can keep Quddafj off bal-ance by one means or another, including the possibility that wemight make another attack, I think that's good.'In a sometimes emotional session with reporters today, BernardKalb said that neither he personally nor the nation as a whole canstand any policy of disinformation.'@ I'm concerned about the impact of any such program on thecredibility of the United States. Faith, faith in the word of America.,is the pulse beat of our democracy. Anything that liurts America'scredibility hurts America. And then on a much. r,.iuch, much lowerlevel, there's the' question of my own credibility, both as a spokes-man and a journalist, a spokesman for a couple of years, a journalistfor more years than I want to remember. In fact, I sometimes pri-vately thought of myself as a journalist masquerading as a spokes-man. In any case, I do not want my own credibility to be caught up,to be subsumed in this controversy."The timing of Kalb's action today is likely to add to the contro-versy over government deception. And it comes at an awkward mo-ment for the Reagan Administration, just days before an imp rtantpre-summit meeting with the Soviets in Iceland and in the wake ofofficial denials about a downed guerrilla resupply plane inNicaragua. One American was captured and others were killed inthat action, but officials have said the flight was in no way connectedwith the US government. Kalb said his resignation today had noth-ing to do with any other incident. I'm Bill Busenberg in Washington.Section Three： Special ReportTapescriptThe history of Jews in Poland is not always thoroughly told inthat country. And tlte story of the World War 11 freedom fighters inthe Jewish ghetto of Warsaw is one of the saddest chapters. The;Nazis took hundreds of thousands of Jews to their deaths, and seventhousand more died defending the area when the Gdrmans invaded.Dr. Merrick Adelman is one of the very few who survived.A bookcalled Shielding the Flame is his story. It was writtenin Poland tenyears ago by Hannah Kroll. It is now available in this country inEnglish. Yohannes Toshimska is one of the translators. She says thatMerrick Adelman's view of the ghetto uprising is regarded asunconventional."He doesn't use the language, or even he doesn't have the atti-tude people usually have to the holocaust and to theghettouprisings. One thing he's consistently talking about is the fac@t thatpeople thought was the arms in the ghetto. It wasn"t heroic; it waseasier than to die going to the train cars. And that people who parti-cipated in the ghetto uprising were actually, in a sense, lucky. Theyhad arms; they could do something about what was going on whilethose hundreds of thousands who were led to the train cars wereequally heroic, but their death was much more difficult.'"Dr. Adelman was stationed ... he was working in a clinic; hewas not a doctor then; but he was working in a clinicthat was nearbythe train station where the Jews were taken to go off to the concen-tration camps.''Yes. He had an amazing position. He was standing at the gateto the Hmflat Platz, which was the place from where the Jews weretaken into the train cars. He was a member of the underground inthe ghetto, and he was choosing the people who were needed by theunderground. They were perhaps one or two in many thousands ofthem led every day to the cars. And he would pick these people up,and then young girls who were students at the nurses' school woulddisabilitate these people. He describes in the book,it's a very power-ful scene, how these girls, who were wearing beautiful clean whiteuniforms of nurse students, would take two pieces of wood and withthese two pieces of wood would break legs of the people who weresupposed to be saved for the Jewish underground. But the Germans,to the last moment, wanted to maintain the fiction that people whowere taken to the trains were being taken for work. And obviously aperson with a broken leg couldn't work. So breaking a leg wouldtemporarily save that person from being taken into gas."'So he saw in all, I believe he says four hundred thousand peo-ple, go aboard the train.'"'Yes. He stood there from the very beginning of the extermina-tion action to the end.''With regard to what you were saying earlier, there's a dialoguethat develops in the book between an American professor whocomes to visit the doctor many years later, and is critical of whathappened. He says of the Jews, 'You were going like sheep to yourdeaths.' The professor had been in World War 11; he'd landed on aFrench beach, and he said that 'Men should run, men should shoot.You were going like sheep.' And Adelman explains this, and let mequote him. 'It is a horrendous thing when one is going so quietly toone's death. It is infinitely more difficult than to go out shooting. Af-ter all, it is much easier to die firing. For us, it was much easier to diethan it was for someone who first boarded a train car,then rode thetrain, then dug a hole, then undressed naked.' That's difficult to lin-derstand, but then Hannah Kroll says that she understands it be-cause it's easier for people who are watching this to understand,when the people are dying shooting.'' It is something probably easier to comprehend becausethekind of death most of the people from the ghetto encountered is justbeyond comprehension.''Explain the context of the title for Shielding the Flame; it comesup a bit later on. It has to do with the reason that Dr. Adelman be-comes a physician, a cardilogist, after the War, is that he wants thisopportunity to deal with people who are in a life-or-deathsituation.''He says at some point that what he was doing at Hmflat Platzand what he was doing later on as a doctor is like to shield the flamefrom God who wants to blow this little tiny flame andkill theperson, that what he was doing during the War and after the Warwas, in a way, doing God's work or doing something against God,even if the God existed.'"Do you think this book is oing to be accessible to the Westernreader reading it in English? It is a bit free in form and in style. Itlacks a chronology; certain details are not there or are pre-supposedthat one knows.''This book is a little bit like a conversation of two people whoaren't that much aware of the fact that someone else is listening to it.And they don't care about this other person who might be listeningto it. They don't help this person to follow it. I had a hard time evenwhen I read it for the first time in Polish. However, for me, it hasmagnetic power and, despite the confusion, I always wanted to goback and to go on.'Yahannes Tashimska, the translator, along with LawrenceWeshler, of Shiel(iing the Flaiiie by flatiiiah Kroll.。

Listen to this3听力原文Lesson1Freed American hostage, David Jacobsen, appealed today for the release of the remaining captives in Lebanon, saying, "Those guys are in hell and we've got to get them home." Jacobsen made his remarks as he arrived at Wiesbaden, West Germany, accompanied by Anglican Church envoy, Terry Waite, who worked to gain his release. And Waite says his efforts will continue. Jacobsen had a checkup at the air force hospital in Wiesbaden. And hospital director, Colonel Charles Moffitt says he is doing well. "Although Mr. Jacobsen is tired, our initial impression is that he is physically in very good condition. It also seems that he has dealt with the stresses of his captivity extremely well." Although Jacobsen criticized the US government's handling of the hostage situation in a videotape made during his captivity, today he thanked the Reagan Administration and said he was darn proud to be an American. The Reagan Administration had little to say today about the release of Jacobsen or the likelihood that other hostages may be freed. Boarding Air Force One in Las Vegas, the President said, "There's no way to tell right now. We've been working on that. We've had heart-breaking disappointments."Mr. Reagan was in Las Vegas campaigning for Republican candidate, Jim Santini, who is running behind Democrat, Harry Reed.In Mozambique today a new president was chosen to replace Samora Machel who died in a plane crash two weeks ago. NPR's John Madison reports: "The choice of the 130-member Central Committee of the ruling FRELIMO Party was announced on Mozambique radio this evening. He is Joaquim Chissano, Mozambique's Foreign Minister, No. 3 in the Party. Chissano, who is forty-seven, was Prime Minister of the nine-month transitional government that preceded independence from Portugal in 1975. He negotiated the transfer of power with Portugal.This much is clear tonight: an American held in Lebanon for almost a year and a half is free. David Jacobsen is recuperating in a hospital in Wiesbaden, West Germany. Twenty-four hours earlier, Jacobsen was released in Beirut by Islamic Jihad. But this remains a mystery: what precisely led to his freedom? Jacobsen will spend the next several days in the US air force facility in Wiesbaden for a medical examination. Diedre Barber reports.After preliminary medical checkups today, David Jacobsen's doctor saidhe was tired but physically in very good condition. US air force hospital commander, Charles Moffitt, said in a medical briefing this afternoon that Jacobsen had lost little weight and seemed extremely fit. He joked that he would not like to take up Jacobsen's challenge to reporters earlier in the day to a six-mile jog around the airport. Despite his obvious fatigue, Jacobsen spent the afternoon being examined by hospital doctors. He was also seen by a member of the special stress-management team sent from Washington. Colonel Moffitt said that after an initial evaluation it seems as if Jacobsen coped extremely well with the stresses of his captivity. He said there was also no evidence at this point that the fifty-five-year-old hospital director had been tortured or physically abused. Jacobsen seemed very alert, asking detailed questions about the facilities of the Wiesbaden medical complex, according to Moffitt.So far, Jacobsen has refused to answer questions about his five hundred and twenty-four days as a hostage. Speaking briefly to reports after his arrival in Wiesbaden this morning, he said his joy at being free was somewhat diminished by his concern for the other hostages left behind. He thanked the US government and President Ronald Reagan for helping to secure his release. Jacobsen also gave special thanks to Terry Waite, an envoy of the Archbishop of Canterbury, for his help in the negotiation. Waite who accompanied Jacobsen from Beirut to Wiesbaden today, said he might be going to Beirut in several days. There are still sevenAmerican hostages being held in Lebanon by different political groups. Jacobsen will be joined in Wiesbaden tomorrow by his family. Hospital officials said they still do not know how many days Jacobsen will remain for tests and debriefing sessions before returning to the United States with his family. For National Public Radio, this is Diedre Barber, Wiesbaden.Lesson 2Iran's official news agency said today former US National Security Advisor Robert McFarlane and four other Americans were jailed in Tehran for five days recently after they arrived on a secret diplomatic mission. The report quoted the speaker of Iran's parliament as saying President Reagan sent the group to Tehran posing as aircraft crewmen. He said they carried with them a Bible signed by the President and a cake. He said the presents were designed to improve relations between the two countries. Neither the Reagan Administration nor McFarlane had any comment on the report.There were published reports in the Middle East that hostage David Jacobsen was freed as a result of negotiations between the United States and Iran. Asked about that today, Anglican Church envoy Terry Waite said that he didn't want to comment on the political dynamics. But Waite said he may know within the next twenty-four hours from his contacts ifhe will be returning to Beirut to negotiate the release of more hostages.Jacobsen was reunited with his family today, but again said his joy could not be complete until the other hostages are freed. He appeared on the hospital balcony with his family and talked with reporters. Hospital director Colonel Charles Moffitt says Jacobsen needs to communicate with people now. "He likes to talk, whether that be to a group of press or to individual physicians. Once you get him started on a subject, he wants to talk because he hasn't been able to do that." Moffitt says Jacobsen is in good health and will not need followup medical care.A low to moderate turnout is reported across the nation so far on this election day. V oters are choosing members of the one hundredth Congress, thirty-four senators and all four hundred thirty-five members of the US House of Representatives. One of the big questions is which Party will control the Senate after today's voting.President Reagan's former National Security Advisor, Robert McFarlane, and four other Americans may have visited Tehran recently on a secret diplomatic mission. Today, on the seventh anniversary of the seizure of the US embassy in Tehran, Iran Speaker of the Parliament said thevisiting Americans were held for five days before being expelled from the country. NPR was unable to reach Mr. McFarlane today for comment and the White House says that it can neither confirm nor deny the story. NPR's Elizabeth Colton reports.Today in Tehran, Speaker of the Parliament, Hashami Rafsanjani took the occasion to tell a rally that President Reagan had recently sent personal envoys to Iran, calling for improvement of relations. In response to the American overtures, Rafsanjani announced that Iran will advise its friends in Lebanon, in other words the hostage takers, to free US and French hostages if Israel frees Lebanese prisoners, and if the American and French governments end their hostility to the revolutionary government of Iran. Rafsanjani then reportedly described for the tens of thousands outside his parliament, the visit of the five American emissaries. The Iranian said they flew in, posing as the flight crew of a plane bringing American military spare parts to Iran from Europe. The US envoys reportedly carried Irish passports, now said to be held by Iranian officials. And one of the men called himself McFarlane. And according to Rafsanjani, he looked exactly like President Reagan's former National Security Advisor. Rafsanjani claimed that Iranian security officials also have a tape of telephone conversations between the American President and his envoys, The Iranian cleric, Rafsanjani, said the five men were confined to a hotel for five days and later deportedafter Ayatollah Khomeini advised Iranian officials not to meet them or receive their message. Rafsanjani said the Americans had brought a Bible signed by President Reagan and a key-shaped cake which they said was the symbol of the hope of reopening US-Iran relations. In Tehran today, at the ceremony marking the anniversary of the seizure of the American embassy, Parliamentary Speaker Rafsanjani described the visit by the American emissaries as a sign of Washington's helplessness. The White House said it would neither confirm nor deny the reports, because according to the press office, there are certain matters pertaining to efforts to try to release the hostages, and comments might jeopardize them. Robert McFarlane, who was also a frequent political commentator for NPR's morning edition, has been unavailable for comment. I am Elizabeth Colton in Washington.Over the last few years and around the country, the number of fundamentalist religious groups is said to be growing. Some are called "ultra-fundamentalist" groups. The estimates varied greatly. The number could be as high as two thousand. These organizations have different purposes and beliefs, but usually have one thing in common—strong leadership, quite often one person. Four years ago in October at a fundamentalist Christian commune in West Virginia, a young boy diedafter a paddling session that lasted for two hours. The child was spanked by his parents. He had hit another child and refused to say he was sorry. We reported the story of that paddling—the story of the Stonegate Community in November of 1982. Since that time, Stonegate leader has been tried and convicted, one of the first times a leader of a religious group has been held responsible for the actions of a member. Also in that time the parents of the child have served jail terms, and now they have agreed to tell their story.The Stonegate Commune was near Charleston, West Virginia, in the northeast corner of the state. It's mostly farming country. The Stonegate members lived outside of town in an old white Victorian house, overlooking the Shenandoah River, eight young families living and working together. They did some farming, some construction work and for a time ran a restaurant in Charleston. It was their intention to become less of a commune and more of a community, with the families living in separate houses on the property. We went to Stonegate on a Sunday evening in November of 1982. We were reluctantly welcomed. Less than a month before, two Stonegate members had been indicted for involuntary manslaughter. They were the parents of Joseph Green, who was two years old when he died. On this night many of the Stonegate people were defensive, almost angry.That was four years ago. The parents, Stewart and Leslie Green, wereconvicted of involuntary manslaughter and both spent a year in jail. First Stewart, then Leslie. Then in a separate legal action, the leader of the Stonegate commune, Dorothy McLellan was also indicted. McLellan did not take part in the paddling but she was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and conspiracy in the death of Joey Green. Stewart Green, the father, testified against Dorothy McLellan. Green now believes that his son died because of McLellan's teachings and influence. He explained in court that the Stonegate members were taught that a paddling session should continue until the child apologizes. Green also testified that a four-hour spanking of Dorothy McLellan's grandson, Danny, had occurred two weeks before Joey Green's death. He also said the Stonegate members, when Joey died, joined in a pledge of secrecy: the circumstances would be covered up; the death would be called an accident. They were afraid all the Stonegate children would be taken away. Joey's parents at first agreed to this. It was later that they spoke out against what they called then a conspiracy of silence. Both Stewart and Leslie Green grew up and married within the Stonegate community. Leslie was only fifteen when she came to the Stonegate. They lived with several other teenagers in the home of Dorothy and John McLellan. The McLellans had been taking in young people who were having trouble, usually with drugs. They wanted to use their marriage as an example of Christian family life. John McLellan worked for an accounting firm,traveling during the week, Dot McLellan staying at home, taking care of more and more teenagers. The Greens are now living in their first real home together, an apartment in Baltimore. Stewart left the Stonegate, and Leslie joined him as soon as she got out of jail. The Greens have now agreed to talk about their lives at Stonegate and about the paddling of their son.。

Lesson ElevenSection One: News in BriefTapescript1. Texas Air announced today that it will buy the troubled People Express Airlines for about a hundred and twenty-five million dollars. The proposed deal would allow most People Express employees to keep their jobs, although the company will eventually lose its identity and become part of Texas Air. Federal officials must approve the merger. Texas Air is also trying to buy Eastern Airlines.2. A rally on Wall Street today after six consecutive losing sessions, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the day up nearly nine points, to close at seventeen sixty-seven point fifty-eight.3. What's being called a 'freedom flight" of seventy former Cuban political prisoners landed in Miami today to an ecstatic reception by thousands of relatives and well-wishers. The plane also carried forty one relatives of former prisoners. The flight culminated nearly two years of negotiations with the Castro regime.Section Two: News in DetailTapescriptTexas Air Corporation today announced that it has agreed to buy People Express Airlines for one hundred twenty-five million dollars in securities. Texas Air already owns Continental Airlines and New York Air. It is in the process of acquiring Eastern Airlines. People Express, one of the first no-frills, low-fare air carriers, has been in financial trouble lately. It was forced to shut down its subsidiary, Frontier Air flights. Texas Air now says it will acquire Frontier's assets as part of its deal with People Express. Joining us now from New York, NPR's business reporter Barbara Mantel.' Barbara, it is said this is a very attractive low price, this one hundred twenty-five million dollars in securities. Besides that, why does Texas Air want People Express?' "Well, Frank Lorenzo, who is Chairman of Texas Air, will get airplanes from People Express, which he might need. He will get the lowest cost work-force in the industry at People Express. He will get a new terminal at Newark, New Jersey that People Express is building. He'll get flights to London, and he will get control over competition. People Express competes heavily, especially in the northeast corridor, with Texas Air.''This issue of competition has been a sticking point before for the Department of Transportation when two airlines wanted to get together. How will Texas Air get around it this time?''Well, they might not. Texas Air wanted to acquire East ..., or wants to acquire, Eastern Airline, and the Department of Transportation said, 'No, not unless you sell more landing slots, more slots in the northeast corridor to Pan Am so that we'll have some competition there.' And Texas Air agreed to that just last week. That may happen again here. The Department of Transportation may require that Texas Air sell some slots or some gates to another airline to ensure that there is still competition in the northeast part of the marketplace. But Texas Air has some leverage here with the Department of Transportation because People Express is a failing company. And the Department of Transportation may feel, 'Well, we'll let them buy PeopleExpress and keep it running, rather than let it fail and lose all those jobs.'"'Mm hm. Now, if the deal is approved by the Department of Transportation, what is it likely to mean for consumers? If there's less competition the fares could possibly go up. "'Well, yes. You would think that when you move from two competitors in a market to just one airliner that prices would just have to go up. But I want you to keep in mind that unrestricted fares of the kind People Express offered, you know, wholesale unrestricted fares, were being eliminated and phased out anyway, because they were not profitable. And the Department of Transportation theory here is that if you allow mergers to take place, or many mergers to take place, you might create more efficiencies and low costs, leading possibly to lower fares. And also the Department of Transportation believes that there's a lot of potential competition in the marketplace. Airlines can move planes around and buy gates, and so that if an airline in a particular market segment was making a lot of money and raising prices excessively, other airlines would move in and prices would be brought down through competition. So that it's a nice theory, the theory of potential competition keeping prices in line, but it's sort of a new idea and it's not clear that that's really the way it would work.''Thanks.' From New York, NPR's Barbara Mantel.Section Three: Special ReportTapescript"My audiences have been very devoted over the years throughout the country. And they've expanded and grown and the country audience has been just as kind and as supportive as the folk audience has been.''I was thinking though, nonetheless, when I put on this album, 'The Last of the True Believers,' especially the title cut, that I heard more country there than I'd perhaps heard before.""Well, I guess it has .-.. I've moved in that direction, mainly because I am playing with the band more. My natural roots are there in country and hillbilly music. And so I think that that just comes out more when you put the band with it."I'I want to ask you some questions, please, about this album, about the ... not so much what's on the inside right now, but what‟s on the outside - a picture on the front of you in front of a Woolworth store, someplace, I guess, in Texas or Tennessee, and 'Houston, Texas.' In Houston, Texas? Is it the Woolworth store that has the hardwood floor still 'and the parakeets in the back and that sort of thing?'"Well, this one that we shot this in front of in Houston Texas is one of the largest ones in the country. It's a two-storey and it's got the escalator that does a little pinging noise every couple of minutes. And it takes up a whole city block.""But, why a cover photo in front of Woolworth's?''Well,, that comes from the song 'Love at the Five and Dime,' which was a song that Cathy Mattea also cut this year and had my first, you know, top five country hit with. And it deals with the Woolworth store.'"There is, on the cover, you are holding a book, and you can‟t really see. ... What is the name of the book on the cover you're holding?''In the Kindness of Strangers, the latest Tennessee Williams' biography.''And on the back is Larry McMurtrie's book about a cattle drive around the turn of the century, Lonesome Dove.'"He's my main prose hero.''Now, why? Why would you do that? Why would you pose with a book?'"Well, I have, my audience consists of a lot of young people between the ages of, maybe you know, fourteen and twenty-f'ive. And I read a lot, and I also write short stories and have written a novel. And I just feel like young people are missing out because they don't read books. And any time I have the opportunity to influence the young person to pick up a book and read it, I would try to do that.''When you hear these lyrics, when the words come to you, are you hearing the stanzas as poetry or as music?''Well, I'm hearing them as music. Lyrics usually come to me, and songs come to me as a total picture. And the music and the lyrics come at the same time. Sometimes they shoot me straight up in bed, you know, in the middle of the night. 'The Wing and the Wheel' is a very special song to me. It's probably my favorite song that I've ever written. And that song was inspired at the Vancouver Folk Festival by two people who are from Managua, Nicaragua. They have a duo call Duo Guar Buranco. And just about four o'clock in the morning, I was sitting in my hotel room and listening to them sing in the room next door, and looking out the window at this little fingernail moon hanging out over the Vancouver Bay, and that song just came flowing, you know, and was inspired by those two people.''Now, that sounds easy.''Well, it IS easy. If you listen. to yourself and you listen to the inspiration that's bringing on that particular song, it's easy. It's just a matter of getting up and writing it down.' Nancy Griffith, talking with us in WPLN in Nashville. She is continuing her national tour with the Everly Brothers. Her latest album is called "The Last of the True Believers.'Lesson 12Section One: News in Brief1. American reporter Nicholas Daniloff is in Frankfurt, West Germany, on his way home from Moscow after being detained for a month on espionage charges. President Reagan in Kansas City on a campaign swing announced Daniloff‟s release, denying that any trade had been agreed to in order to win his freedom. Asked by reporters if he blinked in staring down Soviet leader Gorbachev over the Daniloff affair, the President said they blinked. The agreement to release Daniloff came after a three-hour meeting last night in New York between Secretary of State George Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze. No details of the agreement have been released, and it is not known if Daniloff‟s freedom is the first step in a trade involving accused Soviet spy Gennadi Zakharov. When he arrived in Frankfurt, Daniloff thanked President Reagan, Secretary of State Shultz, and other US officials for “dotting all the i‟s and crossing the t‟s” that permitted him to be in Frankfurt tonight.2. The House of Representatives is expected to vote soon to override President Reagan‟s veto of a bill imposing economic sanctions against South Africa. NPR‟s Cokie Roberts reports that the President has promised to expand economic sanctions on his own in hopes of getting Congress tosustain his veto. “Both houses of Congress passed the economic sanctions against South Africa by wide enough margins to override a presidential veto. And it‟s expected the House will easily garner the two-thirds vote necessary for override. So it‟s in the Senate the President is concentrating his efforts. Today President Reagan sent a long letter to majority leader Robert Dole, restating his opposition to …punitive sanctions that harm the victims of apartheid. ‟ The letter went on to outline an executive order the President plans to sign which would impose some but not all of the sanctions passed by Congress. For example, there‟d be a ban on some new investments in South Africa, but not as many as called for by Congress. The President hopes the executive order will win over the fourteen additional senators he needs to sustain his veto. The Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee said today that Congress would simply come back next year with tougher sanctions if the veto is sustained. I‟m Cokie Roberts at the Capitol”Section Two: News in DetailAmerican reporter Nicholas Daniloff was freed today in Moscow. He flew into Frankfurt, West Germany this afternoon and spoke with reporters gathered at the airport.“It‟s wonderful to be back in the West. I think it‟s obvious to everybody what has happened over this last month. I was arrested without an arrest warrant. A case was fabricated against me with a narrow political purpose of giving the Soviet Union some political leverage over the case of Gennadi Zakharov in New York. The KGB did not punish me; the KGB punished itself. I cannot tell you anything about any other arrangements. All I know is that I am free in the West, very grateful, delighted to see you.” Nicholas Daniloff.When Daniloff left the Soviet Union today he had been detained there for thirty-one days, facing a possible trial on espionage charges. Daniloff left Moscow only hours after Secretary of State Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Shevardnadze met last night in New York in the latest of four negotiating sessions concerning the fate the American journalist. But so far no details have emerged about the arrangements that brought Daniloff his freedom. NPR‟s Mike Shuster has more from New York.Reporters in Moscow who had been staking out the American Embassy there first got wind this morning that Daniloff might be released, after he left the Embassy in a car and flashed the “V for Victory” sign. Apparently Daniloff was simply informed that he could leave, and his passport was returned to him. He was then taken to the airport along with his wife, and soon thereafter boarded a Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt, West Germany. The official American announcement of his release came from President Reagan mid-day today as he was campaigning in Kansas City, Missouri:“I have something of a news announcement I would like to make, that in case you have‟nt heard it already, that at twelve o‟clock, twelve o‟clock Central time, a Lufthansa Airliner, left Moscow bound for Frankfurt West Germany, and on board are Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Daniloff!”So far though neither the White House nor the State Department has said anything about the specific agreements that ended the negotiations on Daniloff, and lacking any fuller explanation from the government, many questions remain. First, what will happen to the Russian scientist Gennadi Zakharov whose arrest last month in New York for spying led to Daniloff‟s detention? No date has been set for Zakharov‟s trial in Brooklyn, and a representative of the Justice Department in Brooklyn said today the US attorney there was waiting for instructions on the handling of Zakharov‟s case. There have been suggestions that Zakharov might be returned to the Soviet Union at a later date in exchange for one or more jailed Soviet dissidents. There is also thequestion of the American decision to expel twenty-five Soviet personnel from their Unite Nations Mission here. Several have already left New York and the deadline for the expulsion of the rest is Wednesday. The Soviets have threatened to retaliate if the order is not rescinded. There is no word whether the agreement that freed Daniloff includes anything on the twenty-five Soviets, which naturally leads to the final question: Has Daniloff‟s release today brought the United States and the Soviet Union any closer to a summit meeting? Secretary Shultz has said that a summit could not take place without Daniloff gaining his freedom. That has now been removed as an impediment to a summit, but the Soviets have called the Zakharov case and the matter of the twenty-five Soviets diplomats obstacles to a summit as well. Until the details are made public of the agreement Shultz and Shevardnadze worked out, it will not be known what the prospects for a summit truly are. This is Mike Shuster in New York.Section Three: Special ReportOne year ago this month, a powerful earthquake in Mexico City killed more than nine thousand people. Tens of thousands of people lost their jobs because of the massive damage. Among those hardest hit by the quake were women garment workers. Who worked in sweatshops concentrated in the heart of Mexico City. One year after the earthquake, Lucie Conger reports that some of the forty thousand seamstresses who lost their jobs are changing their attitudes about work.Lesson ThirteenSection One: News in BriefTape-script1. A special committee of twelve senators today began the impeachment trial of Federal Judge Harry Claiborne. It's the first such proceeding in fifteen years. Claiborne is serving a jail sentence for tax evasion.2. President Reagan today continued his campaign for a drug-free America. He ordered mandatory testing for federal workers in sensitive positions. And he also sent Congress a legislative package that would increase federal anti-drug spending by nine hundred million dollars, much of that on increased border patrols. The President said the legislation is the federal government's way of just saying no to drugs. "We're getting tough on drugs; we mean business. To those who are thinking of using drugs, we say 'Stop.' And to those who are pushing drugs, we say 'Beware.' " Mandatory drug testing for some federal workers is the most controversial part of the President's plan. It's been condemned by some employee groups.3. One person was killed and more than fifty injured today in Paris when a bomb exploded at the drivers' permit office at police headquarters. It was the fourth blast in seven days in the French capital.Section Two: News in DetailTapescriptIn Paris today, one person was killed and more than fifty were injured when a bomb exploded at police headquarters. This is the fourth attack on a crowded public target in a week.A police officer was killed yesterday while removing a bomb from a restaurant on the Avenue Champs Elysee. Minutes after that incident, Prime Minister Jacques Chirac announced new security measures aimed at curbing terrorist activities in, France. Melodie Walker reports from Paris.A group calling itself 'the Committee for Solidarity with Arab and Middle-Eastern Prisoners' has claimed responsibility for the current series of bombings in Paris, in addition to ten other attacks in the French capital over the past year. The Committee has delivered messages to news agencies in Beirut threatening to continue its bombing campaign in Paris until the French government agrees to release three men jailed in France on charges of terrorism. One of the convicted prisoners, George Abraham Abdullah, is believed to be the leader of the Lebanese Army Faction suspected of killing a US military attached in Paris in 1982. The French government has officially declared it will not release the prisoners. In response to the repeated attacks in Paris, Prime Minister Chirac last night announced new anti-terrorist measures: military patrols along the French borders will be increased and, beginning today, all foreigners will require a visa to enter France. Citizens of European Common Market countries and Switzerland will be exempt from the visa requirement. But Americans planning to visit France will need to apply for visas at the nearest French consulate. For an initial period of fifteen days, however, emergency visas will be granted at French airports and other border checkpoints. France has been plagued with terrorism at home and abroad in recent years. In the past two weeks, three French members of the United Nations peace keeping force in Lebanon have been killed by remote-controlled bombs. Today, France, called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to discuss the role and safety of the force. Seven French hostages in Beirut are also a major concern for the Chirac government. Dominique Moazi, Associate Director of the French Institute for International Relations, says the bombings in Paris, the attacks on the UN troops, and the hostage situation are all indirectly related. 'I think there is a global goal, which is looked after, and that is to punish France for its involvement in Middle-Eastern affairs, either Lebanon or the war between Iran and Iraq. And France is, at the same time, more visible than any other European actors, in Lebanon and in the Gulf.' According to Moazi, the long French tradition of granting political asylum has made France more open and accessible to terrorist activities."In the past we have given, unfortunately, the impression, which was maybe a reality, of being less resolute in our treatment of terrorist action than, for example, the Israelis. So that combination of visibility, vulnerability, and lack of resolution has made us the ideal target of terrorists now.'In a statement released today, President Francois Mitterand said, ' The fight against terrorism is the business of the entire nation.' But despite the government's determination to combat terrorism, the question of how to do it remains unanswered.For National Public Radio, this is Melodie Walker in Paris.Section Three: Special ReportTapescriptThe United States Senate Intelligence Committee today released a report calling for sweeping changes in US security policies and counter-intelligence, its first unclassified assessmentof recent spy cases. The Committee says the damage done has cost billions of dollars, threatening America's security, as never before. NPR's David Malthus has the story. The report states that the damage done from espionage and lax security is worse than anyone in the government has yet acknowledged publicly. It concludes that US military plans and capabilities have been seriously compromised, intelligence operations gravely impaired. US technological advantages have been overcome in some areas because of spying. And diplomatic secrets were exposed to adversaries. V ermont Democrat Patrick Leahy is Vice-Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.'The national security is many times threatened more by this than by the buildup of Soviet arms, or the buildup of Soviet personnel, or breakthrough in weapon development." The Committee report says foreign intelligence services have penetrated some of the most vital parts of US defense, intelligence, and foreign policy structures. The report cites a string of recent cases, including the Walker-Whitworth spy ring, which gave the Soviets the ability to decode at least a million military communications.Despite some improvements by the Reagan Administration in security and tough talk over the last two years, the report also concludes that the administration has failed to follow through with enough specific steps to tighten security, and that its counter-intelligence programs have lacked the needed resources to be effective. Republican Dave Durenberger of Minnesota, Chairman of the Intelligence Committee, sums up the current situation this way:'Too many secrets, too much access to secrets, too many spies, too little accountability for securing our national secrets, and too little effort given to combating the very real threat which spies represent to our national security.'Senator Durenberger said the Committee found some progress has been made in toughening up security clearances for personnel, and some additional resources have been devoted to countering technical espionage, but he said much more needs to be done and he described the current security system as one 'paralyzed by bureaucratic inertia.' The Committee makes ninety-five specific recommendations, including greater emphasis on re-investigations of cleared personnel, a streamlined classification system, more money for counter-intelligence elements of the FBI, CIA and the military services, and tighter controls on foreign diplomats from hostile countries. The report cites FBI assessments on how extensively the Soviets use, diplomatic cover to hide spying activity. There are twenty-one hundred diplomats, UN officials, and trade representatives from the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact countries living in the United States. And according to the FBI, 30% of them are professional intelligence officers. The Committee report also says the Soviet Union is effectively using United Nations organizations worldwide to conduct spying operations. It says approximately eight hundred Soviets work for UN agencies, three hundred of them in New York, and one fourth of those are working for the KGB or the Soviet military intelligence, the GRU. Next week, the Reagan Administration is to deliver to. the Congress its, classified report on counter-intelligence. I'm David Malthus in Washington.。

Lesson 5Section One: News in Brief1. The House began debate today on a three-year bill to combat trafficking and use of illegal drugs. The measure has the support of most representatives and House Speaker Thomas O’Neill says he expects it to pass by tomorrow. Among other things, the bill would increase penalties for violators, provide money to increase drug enforcement and coast guard personnel,and require drug producing countries to establish eradication programs as a condition of US support for development loans.2. A cultural exchange between the US and the Soviet Union may face an American boycott unless US News and World Report correspondent, Nicholas Daniloff, is freed from a Moscow jail. An American style town meeting is scheduled to take place in Latvia next week, but the two hundred seventy Americans due to take part say they won't go if Daniloff remains in jail. They add the decision is a personal one and is not being made by the Reagan Administration in retaliation for the Daniloff detention.3. Egyptian and Israeli negotiators have reached agreement on resolving the Taba border dispute, clearing the way for a summit between the two countries to begin tomorrow. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres will meet in Alexandria. Details of the Taba agreement have not been made available.Section Two: News in DetailTapescriptThe United States House of Representatives is debating an omnibus drug bill and expects to pass the measure tomorrow. Though the bill has attracted strong, bipartisan support, NPR's Cokey Roberts reports the debate on the issue points up the differences between political parties.When Congress returned from the Fourth of July recess, House Speaker Tip O'Neill said there was only one thing members were talking about in the cloak-room: drugs. The Democrats quickly pulled together chairmen from twelve different committees to draft a drug package. Then, stung by criticism that they were acting in a partisan fashion, the Democratic leaders invited the Republicans to join them in the newly declared war on drugs. So, when the bill came to the House floor today, the party leaders led off debate. Texas Democrat Jim Wright,'It's time to declare an all-out war, to mobilize our forces, public and private,national and local, in a total coordinated assault upon this menace, which is draining our economy of some two hundred and thirty billion dollarsthis year, slowly rotting away the fabric of our society, seducing and killing our young. That it will take money is hardly debatable. We can't right artillery with spitballs."The question of j List how much money this measure will cost has not been answered to the satisfaction of all members. Democrats say it's one and half billion dollars over three years, with almost seven hundred thousand for next year. Republicans claim the price tag will run higher and are trying to emphasize other aspects of the drug battle, aspects which they think play better in Republican campaigns. Minority leader Robert Michel, 'The ultimate cure for the drug epidemic must come from within the heart of each individual faced with the temptation of taking drugs. It is ultimately a problem of character, of will power, of family and community, and concern, and personal pride."Among other items, the bill before the House increases penalties for most drug related crimes, sets the minimum jail term of twenty years for drug trafficking and manufacturing, authorizes money for the drug enforcemen t administration and prison construction, beefs up the ability of the coast guard and customs service to stop drugs coming into this country, and creates programs for drug education.The various sections of the measure give House members ample opportunity to speak on an issue where they want their voices heard. Maryland Democratic Barbara McCulsky was nominated for the Senate yesterday. Today, she spoke to the part of the bill which funds drug eradication programs in foreign countries. "When we fought yellow fever, we didn't go at it one mosquito at a time. We went right to the swamp. That's what the Foreign Affairs section of this legislation will do. It will go to the swamps, or where cocaine is either grown, refined, or manufactured."Republican Henson Moore is running for the Senate in Louisiana. He spoke to the part of the drug bill which changes the trade laws for countries which deal in drugs.' We're moving to stop something; it's absolutely idiotic. It needs to be stopped: this situation of where a country can sell legally to us on the one hand and illegally to us under the table, selling drugs in this country poisoning our young people and our population."Section Three: Special ReportTapescriptToday in China, in Nanjing, balloons, firecrackers and lion dancers mark the dedication of the Johns Hopkins University-Nanjing University Center for Chinese and American Studies. For the first time since World War II, Chinese and American students will attend a graduate institution in China that is administered jointly by academic organizations that are worlds apart figuratively and literally. NPR's Susan Stanberg reports.Cross-cultural encounters can be extremely enriching; cross-cultural encounters can be utterly absurd.qi-nian-qian, ... let's see, ... equal ... proposition equal'Here's what that American was trying to say in Chinese."Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation ... a new nation conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.' Now you don't have to be dealing with classic American oratory to run into problems.In planning for the Center for Chinese and American Studies, there was much debate as to whether the new auditorium on the Nanjing campus should have a flat or sloped floor. If the floor were flat, the auditorium could be used for dances, for parties, but a sloped floor would be better for listening, for viewing films and slides. "The argument finally won out that for practical reasons a flat floor would be best because it ... it really would make it a multi-purpose room. You wouldn't have to fix the furniture.' Stephen Muller is President of Johns Hopkins University, the US end of this Sino-American joint venture in learning. So, a flat floor was built. Only the Chinese in building it finally ended up with a flat floor but at two different levels, one higher than the other. So, if you want to use it for - dances, you either have to have very short women with very tall men or vice versa.'Twenty-four Americans, and thirty-six Chinese of mixed heights are the first students at the Hopkins-Nanjing Center. Nanjing used to be Nanking, by the way, back in the days when Beijing was Peking. The Americans will take classes in Chinese history, economics, trade, politics, all from Chinese faculty. The Chinese will study the US with American university professors. Johns Hopkins’ President Stephen Muller says this is advanced study work. All the Chinese students are proficient in English; all the Americans- have master's degrees plus fluency in Chinese." The twenty-four Americans come from about eighteen colleges and universities. No one institution in this country produces that many people of this character; so that's a beginning. Nanjing is not the place, the Center is not the place to go, if you want a doctor in Chinese history or Chinese language or Chinese literature or Whatever. This is a pre-professional program." Which means the men and women who spend the year at the Nanjing Center will end up as diplomats or business people in one another's country. 'Our hope is that the Americans, to speak about those, who are going to be incidentally rooming with Chinese roommates, which is a very interesting thing the Chinese agree to, that the Americans will "got only bring a year of living in China, a year of having studied with Chinese faculty and hearing the Chinese view of Chinese foreign policy in economics and, so on, that they will also have the kind of friends among Chinese roughly their age who are going to be dealing with the United States. That will slowly, over theyears, create a real work, if you will, of people who, because they've had this common experience, can deal with each other very easily and, you know, be kind of a rallying point - an old boy, old girl network, as it were.' Hopkins President Muller admits that a simple exchange program --- Chinese students coming to the US, and American students going to China - would involve far fewer headaches than running jointly an academic institution on foreign soil. Plus the success of the Hopkins-Nanjing Center depends on undependables, like continuing sweet Sino-American relations and being able to attract funding. And there's this wrinkle.' "Some of the people who will study there, without any question, will probably come from or afterwards enter the intelligence community. That it's really desirable that people who do that have that kind of background. We're very honest about that, but it's so easy to denounce the whole thing as an espionage center, or something. You know, there's a lot of fragility in this thing.' Stephen Muller is President of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. The Hopkins-Nanjing University Center for Chinese and American Studies was dedicated today in China. I'm Susan Stanberg.'How do you say good luck in Chinese?''Don't know. I don't know Chinese.'"You'd better learn.''That's a phrase I should know. Yes.'Lesson 6Section One: News in BriefTapescript1. The Senate has voted to override President Reagan's veto of sanctions against South Africa by a decisive seventy-eight to twenty-one. As the House has already voted to override, the sanctions now become law. NPR's Linda Wertheimer reports.'American civil rights leaders, including Mrs. Caretta Scott King, watched the Senate debate from the Senate family gallery as members argued not so much about sanctions and the efficacy of sanctions, more about the choice between affirming the bill already passed by Congress or supporting the President.'2. American food aid to southern African countries could be cut off if South Africa carries out its threat to ban imports of US grain. Foreign Minister Pic Botha said if US sanctions were imposed, his government would stop imports and would not allow its transport service to carry US grain to neighboring countries.3. The White House today denied that it planted misleading stories in the American news media as part of a plan to topple Libyan leader Muammar Quddafi. The Whittington Post reported this morning that stories were leaked this summer alleging Quddafi was resuming his support for terrorist activities, even though National Security Adviser John Poindexter knew otherwise. Today, White House spokesman Larry Speakes said Poindexter denied the administration had involved the media in an anti-Quddafi campaign but Speakes other countries.Section Two: News in DetailTapescriptThe question in Washington today is this: Did the federal government try to scare Libya's Colonel Muammar Quddafi in August by way of a disinformation campaign in the American media? The Washington Post Bob Woodward reports today that there was an elaborate disinformation program set up by the White House to convince Quddafi that the United States was about to attack again, or that he might be ousted in a coup. The White House today denies that officials tried to mislead Quddafi by using the American media. NPR's Bill Busenburg has our first report on the controversy. The story starts on August 25th when the Wall Street Journal ran a front page story saying that Libya and the United States were once again on a collision course. Quoting multiple official sources, the paper said Quddafi was plotting new terrorist attacks and the Reagan Administration was preparing to teach him another lesson. The Journal reported that the Pentagon was completing plans for a new and wider bombing of Libya in case the President ordered it.That story caused a flurry of press attention. Officials in Washington and at the western White House in California were asked if it was true. " The story was authoritative" said the White House spokesman Larry Speakes. Based on that official confirmation, other news organizations, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, NPR and the major TV networks, all ran stories suggesting Libya should watch out. US naval maneuvers then taking place in the Mediterranean might be used as a cover for more attacks on Libya as in the past. Today's Washington Post, however, quotes from an August 14th secret White House plan, adopted eleven days before the Wall Street Journal story. It was outlined in a memo written by the President's National Security Advisor John Poindexter. That plan called for a strategy of real and illusory events, using a disinformation program to make Quddafi think the United States was about to move against him militarily. Here are some examples the Post cites, suggesting disinformation was used domestically: Number one, while some USofficials told the press Quddafi was stepping up his terrorist plans, President Reagan was being told in a memo that Quddafl was temporarily quiescent, in other words, that he wasn't active. Number two, while some officials were telling the press of internal infighting in Libya to oust Quddafi, US officials really believed he was firmly in power and that CIA's efforts to oust him were not working. Number three, while officials were telling the press the Pentagon was planning new attacks, in fact nothing new was being done Existing contingency plans were several months old, and the naval maneuvers were just maneuvers. The Post says this policy of deception was appear proved at a National Security Planning Group meeting chaired by President Reagan and his top aides.Section Three: Special ReportTapescriptTwo new studies were published today on the links between television coverage of suicide and subsequent teenage suicide rates. The Now England J6urnal of Medicine reports that both studies suggest that some teenagers might be more likely to take their own lives after seeing TV programs dealing with suicide. NPR's Lorie Garrett reports.The first suicide study, done by a team from the University of California in San Diego, examines television news coverage of suicides. David Philips and Lundy Carseson looked at forty-five suicide stories carried on network news-casts between 1973 and '79.The researchers then compared the incidence of teen suicides in those years to the dates of broadcast of these stories. David Philips says news coverage of suicides definitely prompted an increase in the number of teens in America who took their lives.,The more TV programs that carry a story, the greater they increase in teen suicides just after-wards. "The suicide increase among teens was compared by Philips to adult suicide trends. 'The teen suicides go up by about 2.91 teen suicides per story.And adult suicides go up by, I think, around two adult suicides per story . The increase for teens, the percentage increase for teens is very, very much larger than the percentage increase for adults. It's about, I think, fourteen or, times as big a response for teens percentagewise as it is for adults.'The TV news coverage appears to have prompted a greater increase than is seen around other well-known periods of adolescent depression, such as holidays, personal birthdays, the start of school and winter. Philips could not find any specific types of stories that seem to trigger a greater response among depressed teens. Philips says it seems to simply be the word "suicide' and the knowledge that somebody actively executed the act that pushes buttons indepressed teenagers. Psychiatrists call this 'imitative behavior.'" What my study showed was that there seems to be imitation not only of relatively bland behavior like dress, dressing or hairstyles, but there seems to be imitation of really quite deviant behavior as well. The teenagers imitate apparently across the board, not just suicides, but everything else as well.'In a separate study, Madeline Gould and David Shaeffer of Columbia University found that made-for-television movies about suicide also stimulated imitative behavior. Even though the movies were intended to portray the problem of teen suicide and offered, in some cases, suicide hot line numbers and advice on counseling, the team believes the four network movies prompted eighty teen suicides. One of the made-for-TV movies examined by the Columbia University team was a CBS production. George Schweitzer, a CBS's Vice President, is well aware of this research. He says, 'It is terribly unfortunate that any teens took their lives after the broadcast, but if they had it to do over,' says Schweitzer, 'CBS would still run the movie."" Studies, like these do not measure the most, what we think is the most important thing, which I don't think can be measured, and that is the hundreds and hundreds and probably thousands of teenagers who were positively moved by these kinds of broadcasts."Moved to call suicide hot lines, moved to seek counseling, and 6wved to discuss their depressions with family members. Schweitzer does not dispute today's studies: some teens may be moved to suicide.“ But ignoring the issue for fear of that, I think, would b e far more disastrous than addressing important social issues to help create awareness and again to have a positive effect”.But researcher David Philips suggests the media could decrease the teen suicide problem by avoiding some suicide stories all together and changing the way the others are covered. For example, says Philips, "Don't make suicide seem heroic." He cites the story of a Young Czechoslovakian dissident who set himself on fire. But the dissident action was taken to draw attention to government repression in Czechoslovakia. Should the news media really have ignored such a story? I think it's a really difficult question. There are all these goods on all sides of the issue. And thank God, I don't have to be the one to disentangle that issue. One prominent expert in this field said the young people moved to take their lives, following a news story or movie, are particularly their lives might well have triggered their actions. So while most psychiatrists agree there is an imitative component to teenage suicides, that tendency, they say, should not lead society to repress information. On the contrary, some say we are now 'facing a major epidemic of adolescent suicide in America. We must publicize and confront the problem. Last year some fifty-five hundred adolescents between fifteen and twenty-four years of age took their lives. Atleast ten times that tried. Some estimates are that 275 thousand teens attempted suicide last year. The rate of teenage suicide in America has tripled since 1955.。

President Reagan announced today, that he and Soviet leaderGorbachev will meet in Iceland October I 1 th and 12th to prepare fora summit between the two leaders in the United States later this year.The announcement came after the release yesterday from Moscow ofAmerican reporter Nicholas Daniloff and a court appearance inNew York this morning by accused Soviet spy Gennadi Zakharov,who pleaded no contesti6espionage charges and was. told to leavethe United States within twenty-four hours. Zakharov is now on hisway back to the Soviet Union and Daniloff has arrived back in theUnited States. The movement of Daniloff and Zakharov and plansfor the meeting in Iceland were also announced today in Moscow.The BBC's Peter Ruff reports. 'The announcement makes it clearthat this was at Mr. Gorba hev'@nm iation, and it's,also pointed outc vthat this is simply a preparator eeting to a possible summit. It'spointed out here that it will enable the Soviet Union to focus onarms issues, particularly the Strategic Defense Initiative, or StarWars program, President Reagan's refusal to join a testand a possible arms deal involving medium-rangiEurope. In a separate announcement, the official news agency Tasrevealed that Gennadi Zakharov had, as they put it, been releasedfrom custody and was returning home. It made no mention of thefact that I ie'd pleaded no contest in a court in New York. Then came,the first official confirmation from the Soviet Union that theAmericar reporter Nicholas Daniloff had been expelled, The newsitem did aot refer to him as a spy but as someone who'd been en-gaged in inadmissible activity." BBC correspondent Peter Ruff inMoscow.2. There was the Soviet press today that prominentSoviet disside and his wif@ will be allowed to leave forthe U s by October 7th. Secretary of State Shultz madethat announcement in Washington saying Orlov was the drivingforce behind the Helsinki Monitoring Group of Civil RightsActivists. In 1978, Orlov was sentenced to seven years in a prisoncamp to be followed by five more years in internal exile. Shultz saidOrlov's release was in exchange for that of Zakharov and had noth-ing to do with Daniloff's freedom.Section Two: News in DetailTapescriptIn just eleven days President Reagan and Soviet leaderGorbachev will meet in Iceland for what is described by the two sides*****************************************************was made at the White House this morning at a news conferenceheld by President Reagan and Secretary of State George Shultz cal-led to discuss the Iceland meeting and the negotiations which had ledup to the release of Nicholas Daniloff yesterday. Negotiations forthe release of Daniloff went on for over a month. Today, at the sametime that the White House news conference was going on, SovietForeign Minister Shevardnadze met with the press in New York.NPR's Jim Angle was at the White House, and Mike Shuster waswith the Soviet Foreign Minister.'Jim, since Daniloff was only released yesterday, and the detailsof the negotiations leading up to his release were not known yester-day, didn't this arm uncement of a summit announced before anydiscussion of the D-.tniloff affair come as a surprise?'"What was a surprise is that we did not know it was cois not a surprise if you look at the overall context of preparations fora summit and the discussions so far. Of course, the US had said it would not attend a summit until the Daniloff case wag resolved, and the President said today that he could not have accepted thispre-summit preparatory meeting if Daniloff were still being held. Today the matter was resolved. At least we heard that the other de-tails of the matter's resolution, including the fact that Gennadi Zakharov, the accused Soviet spy, was allowed to plead no conte 'st in a New York court and allowed to leave the Urited States. The reso-lution of that matter cleared the way for summit preparations. The meeting, of course, this pre-summit meeting, was proposed by Secre-tary Gorbachev, in a letter delivered to President Reagan by Soviet Foreign Minister Shevardnadze on September ]9th. The announcement of this meeting todav at the same time as the resolu-tion of Zakharov's status is a way of both sides saying that they con-sider the Daniloff matter resolved with the exception of one or two details and that no obstacles now exist in the preparations for sum-mit later this year in the US.''At the news conference this morning both President Reaganand Secretary of State Shultz stress that there had been no trade for Nicholas Daniloff. Jim, was this a trade?'" Well, clearly, Daniloff's release, Zakharov's quick trial and departure, and the release of the Soviet dissident were all part of one -package. But to the extent that definitions are important, especiallyin the diplomatic world and in terms of principles and precedents,the US has insisted that there was no trade involved here. They say Daniloff was released without a trial, an M iC' acknowledgement,if you will, by the Soviet, that he is not a spy. Kakharov, on the other hand, in pleading no contest to espionage ch4rges, allows, in a sense, the US assertion that he was a s to stand. resident Reagan soujzht today in his rema t W te H se that these wereUers. " There is no connection between these twore eases. I don't know just what you have said so far about this.But there were other arrangement-. with regard to Zakharov that re-sulted in his being freed." Margo, the President's referring there to what the US sees as the only trade involved in this whole package, and that is the Soviet agreement to allow Soviet human rights activist Yuri Orlov and his wife to leave the Soviet Union by October7th."Section Three: Special ReportTapegcript;Today in the Supreme Court of the United States, a case in-volving maternity leave: at issue wh6ther,. states may require employers to guarantee that pregnant workers are able to return to their jobs after a limited period of unpaid disability leave. NPR'sNina Totenberg reports.Nine states already have laws or regulations that require all employers to protect the jobs of workers who are disabled by preg-nancy or childbirth. Depending on what the- Supreme Court rules in the case it heard today, those laws will either die or flourish. The test case is from California. It began with Lillian Garland, the receptionist at California Federal Savings and Loan. In 1982, she re-turned to work after having a child and found she had no job-,-"After working for California Federal for over three and a @iyears, I was told at that time they no longer had apposition available for me. My question was, 'Well, what about the job that I've had foriso many years?' And they said,- 'We hired the person that youi trained in your place.' I was in shock."Officials at California Federal say Garland should not havebeen surprised, that she'd been told at the time she took pregnancy leave that her job was not guaranteed. But the fact is that California law requires all employers in the state to provide up to four months' disability leave for pregnant workers. The leave time is unpaid, andit is only available to women who, because of pregnancy or child--birth, are physically unable to work. The law does require that suchworkers get back the same job unless business necessity makes thatimpossible. So when Lillian Garland was told she couldn't have herold job back, she filed discrimination charges against the bank. Thebank then challenged the California pregnancy disability law incourt, claiming that the state law amounted to illegal sex discrimina-tion. The bank's reasoning went like this: Federal law bans discrimi-nation in employment. based on pregnancy, but the state law man-dates disability leave to women for pregnancy while denying thesame leave time to men who are disabled by other ailments, such asheart attacks and strokes. California counters that the state law doesnot discriminate between men and women, that it treats them boththe same as to,all, ailments, bui-gra@ts@disability leave only to preg-nant workers.

Other women's organizations, particularly inCalifornia, argue that singling out pregnancy for special treatment is6 " > n o t s e x d i s c r i m i n a t i o n .

listen to this：高级英语听力 lesson 13 Lesson ThirteenSection One： News in BriefTapescript1. A special committee of twelve senators today began theimpeachment trial of Federal J udge Harry Claiborne.It's the firstsuch proceeding in fifteen years. Claiborne is serving a jail sentencefor tax evasion.2. President Reagan today continued his campaign for a drUg7freeAmerica. He ordered mandatory testing for federal workers in sensi-tive positions. And he also sent Congress a legislative package thatwould increase federal anti-drug spending by nine hundred milliondollars, much of that on increased border patrols. The President saidthe legislation is the federal government's way of just saying no todrugs. "We're getting tough on drugs; we mean business. To thosewho are thinking of using drugs, we say 'Stop.' And to those whoare pushing drugs, we say 'Beware.' " Mandatory drug testing forsome federal workers is the most controversial part of the President'splan. It's been condemned by some employee groups.3. One person was killed and more than fifty injured today in Pariswhen a bomb exploded at the drivers' permit office at police head-quarters. It was the fourth blast in seven days in the French capital.Section Two： News in DetailTapescriptin Paris today, one person was killed and more than fifty wereinjured when a bomb exploded at police headquarters. This is thefourth attack on a crowded public target in a week. A police officerwas killed yesterday while removing a bomb from a restaurant onthe Avenue Champs Elysee. Minutes after that incident, Prime Min-ister Jacques Chirac announced new security measures aimed atcurbing terrorist activities in, France. Melodie Walker reports fromParis.A group calling itself 'the Committee for Solidarity with Araband Middle-Eastern Prisoners' has claimed responsibility for thecurrent series of bombings in Paris, in addition to ten other attacksin the French capital over the past year. The Committee has deliv-ered messages to news agencies in Beirut threatening to continue itsbombing campaign in Paris until the French government agrees torelease three men jailed in France on charges of terrorism. One of theconvicted prisoners, George lbraham Abdullah, is believed to be theleader of the Lebanese Army Faction suspected of killing a US mili-tary attache in Paris in 1982. The French government has officiallydeclared it will not release tht prisoners. In response to the repeatedattacks in Paris, Prime Minister Chirac last night announced newanti-terrorist measures： military patrols along the French boiderswill be increased and, beginning today, all foreigners will require avisa to enter France. Citizens of European Common Market coun-tries and Switzerland will be exempt from the visa requirement. ButAmericans planning to visit France will need to apply for visas at thenearest French consulate. For an initial period of fifteen days, how-ever, emergency visas will be granted at French airports and otherborder checkpoints. France has been plagued with terrorism at homeand abroad in recent years. In the past two weeks, three Frenchmembers of the United Nations peace keeping force in Lebanonhave been killed by remote-controlled bombs. Today, France,calledfor an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to discuss therole and safety of the force. Seven French hostages in Beirut are alsoa major concern for the Chirac government. Dominique Moazi, As-sociate Director of the French Institute forInternational Relations,says the bombings in Paris, the attacks on the UN troops, and thehostage situation are all indirectly related.'I think there is a global goal, which is looked after, and that isto punish France for its involvement in Middle-Eastern affairs, ei-ther Lebanon or the war between Iran and Iraq. And France is, atthe same time, more visible than any other European actors, inLebanon and in the Gulf.'According to Moazi, the long French tradition of granting polit-ical asylum has made France more open and accessible to terroristactivities."In the past we have given, unfortunately, the impression, whichwas maybe a reality, of being less resolute in our treatment of terror-ist action than, for example, the Israelis. So that combination of visi-bility, vulnerability, and lack of resolution has made us the ideal tar-get of terrorists now.'In a statement released today, President FrancoisMitterandsaid, ' The fight against terrorism is the business ofthe entirenation.' But despite the govemment's determination to combat ter-rorism, the question of how to do it remains unanswered. For Na-tional Public Radio, this is Melodie Walker in Paris.Section Three： Special ReportTapescriptThe United States Senate Intelligence Committee today releaseda report calling for sweeping changes in US security policies andcounter-intelligence, its first unclassified assessment of recent spycases. The Committee says the damage done has cost billions of dol-lars, threatening America's security,as never before. NPR's DavidMalthus has the story.The report states that the damage done from espionage and laxsecurity is worse than anyone in the government has yet acknow-ledged publicly. It concludes that US military plans and capabilitieshave been seriously compromised, intelligence operations gravelyimpaired. US technological advantages have been overcome in someareas because of spying. And diplomatic secrets were exposed to ad-versaries. Vermont Democrat Patrick Leahy is Vice-Chairman ofthe Senate Intelligence Committee.'The national security is many times threatened more by thisthan by the buildup of Soviet arms, or the buildup of Soviet person-nel, or breakthrough in weapon development."The Committee report says foreign intelligence services havepenetrated some of the most vital parts of US defense, intelligence,and foreign policy structures. The report cites a string of recentcases, including the Walker-Whitworth spy ring, which gave the So-viets the ability to decode at least a million military communications.Despite some improvements by the Reagan Administration in securi-ty and tough talk over the last two years, the report also concludesthat the administration has failed to follow through with enoughspecific steps to tighten security, and that its counter-intelligenceprograms have lacked the needed resources to be effective. Republi-can Dave Durenberger of Minnesota, Chairman of the IntelligenceCommittee, sums up the current situation this way：'Too many secrets, too much access to secrets, too many spies,too little accountability for securing our national secrets, and too lit-tle effort given to combatting the very real threat which spies repre-sent to our national security.'Senator Durenberger said the Committee found someprogresshas been made in toughening up security clearances for personnel,and some additional resources have been devoted to counteringtechnical espionage, but he said much more needs to bedone and hedescribed the current security system as one 'paralyzed by bureau-cratic inertia.' The Committee makes ninety-five specific recom-me,ndations, including greater emphasis on re-investigations ofcleared personnel, a streamlined classification system, more moneyfor counter-intelligence elements of the FBI, CIA and the militaryservices, and tighter controls on foreign diplomats from hostile coun-tries. The report cites FBI assessments on how extensively the Sovi-ets use, diplomatic cover to hide spying activity. There aretwenty-one hundred diplomats, UN officials, and trade representa-tives from the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact countries living in theUnited States. And according to the FBI, 30% of them are profes-sional intelligence officers. The Committee report also says the Sovi-et Union is effectively using United Nations organizationsworldwide to conduct spying operations. It says approximately eighthundred Soviets work for UN agencies, three hundred of them inNew York, and one fourth of those are working for the KGB or theSoviet military intelligence, the GRU. Next week, the Reagan Ad-ministration is to deliver to. the Congress its, classified report oncounter-intelligence. I'm David Malthus in Washington.。

He knew every plant and stone in it, and he could swim across it easily. He was the biggest creature in the pond, so he was very important. When he croaked, the water-snails listened politely. And the water-beetles always swam behind him. He was very happy there.One day, while he was catching flies, a pretty dragon-fly passed by. ‘You’re a very fine frog,’ she sang, ‘but why don’t you live in a bigger pond? Come to my pond. You’ll find a lot of frogs there. You’ll meet some fine fish, and you’ 11 see the dangerous ducks. And you mus t see our lovely water-lilies. Life in a large pond is wonderful!’‘Perhaps it is rather dull here,’ thought the foolish frog. So he hopped after the dragon-fly.But he didn’t like the big, deep pond. It was full of strange plants. The water-snails were rude to him, and he was afraid of the ducks. The fish didn’t like him, and he was the smallest frog there. He was lonely and unhappy.He sat on a water-lily leaf and croaked sadly to himself, ‘I don’t like it here.

Most people rarely think about how and why they sleep, however. We know that if we sleep well, we feel rested. If we don’t sleep enough, we often feel tired and irritable. It seems there are two purposes of sleep: physical rest and emotional and psychological rest: We need to rest our bodies and our minds. Both are important in order for us to be healthy. Each nightwe alternate between two kinds of sleep: active sleep and passive sleep. The passive sleep gives our body the rest that’s needed and prepares us for active sleep, in which dreaming occu rs.Throughout the night, people alternate between passive and active sleep. The brain rests, then it becomes active, then dreaming occurs. The cycle is repeated: the brain rests, then it becomes active, then dreaming occurs. This cycle is repeated several times throughout the night~. During eight hours of sleep, people dream for a total d one and half hours on the average.Lesson 4Section ITask 1: Weather ForecastA.Multiple Choice. 1 — 2: acB.Fill in the following chart.Weather Description TemperatureBritish Columbia downto northern CaliforniarainingSeattle 50 degreesSouthern California sunnywarmer temperatureSan Diego 78 degrees Midwest clear but windyOklahoma City sunny with strong winds 65 degrees Houston cloudy 69 degrees Miami cloudy, windy 64 degreesNew York City heavy rains andhigh winds35 degreesMontreal snow flurries 28 degreesToronto sunny 30 degreesTask 2: The 5 O’clock NewsA.Fill in the following chart.Title Name Summary of the ReportNews anchor Charles Mckay Delta has been declareda health hazardConsumer reporter Sarah Coopera.

It hasn’t changed in thirty years. The pupils were sitting in the same desks and reading the same books. When are schools going to move into the modern world? Books belong to the past. In our homes radio and television bring us knowledge of the world. We can see and hear the truth for ourselves. If we want entertainment most of us prefer a modern film to a classical novel. In the business world computers store information, so that we no longer need encyclopaedias and dictionaries. But in the schools teachers and pupils still use books. There should be a radio and television set in every classroom, and a library of tapes and records in every school. The children of today will rarely open a book when they leave school. The children of tomorrow won’t need to read and Write at all.M. P.

After two months’ holiday pupils have started a new term. How many adults get such long holidays? Two to four weeks in the summer and public holidays--that’s all the working man gets. As for the average woman, she’s lucky to get a holiday at all. Children don’t need such long holidays. In term-time they start work later and finish earlier than anyone else.In the holidays most of them get bored, and some get into trouble. What a waste! If their overworked parents were given more free time instead, everyone would be happier.This isn’t just a national problem either--it’s worldwide.Dates may be different from country to country, but the pattern’s the same.

It’s called sign language.The speaker of sign language uses hand gestures in order to communicate. Basic sign language has been used for a long, long time, but sign languag e wasn’t really developed until about 250 years ago. In the middle of the 1700s a Frenchman named Epée developed sign language. Epée was able to speak and hear, but he worked during most of his life as a teacher of deaf people in France. Epée developed a large number of vocabulary words for sign language. Epée taught these words to his deaf students. Epée’s system used mostly picture :image signs. We call them picture image signs because the signs create a picture. For example, the sign for sleep is to put both hands together, and then to place the hands flat against the right side of your face, and then to lower your head slightly to the right. This action was meant to show the position of sleep. So we call it a picture image sign.Lesson 7Section ITask 1: Learning a Foreign LanguageA.Multiple Choice. 1—4: bcaaB.True or False Questions. 1—4: FTTFC.Give brief answers to the following questions.1.Albert Humphries.2.Balham, London.3. 4 years.4.He has been going to an evening class and has watched quite a lot of the BBC televisionprogrammes.5.They use a different book in the class.6.They make the same mistakes as he does.7.It means being able to put together the right groups of words and to say them in a reasonablyaccurate way.Task 2: In the LibraryA.Multiple Choice. 1—6: bbcacaB.True or False Questions. 1—6: TTFTFT。

listen to this中级原文Listen to This - An Intermediate Original ArticleTitle: The Power of Music: A Journey of EmotionsIntroduction:Music has the remarkable ability to touch our hearts and souls, transporting us to a world of emotions. It serves as a universal language, capable of transcending cultural barriers and connecting people from all walks of life. In this article, we explore the transformative power of music and its impact on our emotional well-being.The Melody of Memories:Music has the incredible ability to evoke vivid memories and emotions. Have you ever listened to a song from your childhood and suddenly found yourself transported back in time, reliving those precious moments? The power of music lies in its ability to trigger emotions associated with specific memories, whether they be joy, sadness, or nostalgia. Each note and lyric has the potential to unlock a flood of emotions, creating a unique experience for every listener.Finding Solace in Sadness:In times of sadness or heartache, music has the power to heal andprovide solace. Whether it's a melancholic melody or heartfelt lyrics, music helps us process our emotions and find comfort in our pain. It acts as a companion, validating our feelings and reminding us that we are not alone in our struggles. Through music, we can find catharsis and emerge stronger, ready to face the world with renewed resilience.Empowering and Motivating:Music has the ability to inspire and motivate us in ways we never thought possible. From anthems that ignite a sense of unity and empowerment to energetic beats that fuel our determination, music has been a driving force behind some of the greatest achievements in history. Whether it's overcoming personal obstacles or fighting for social change, music provides the soundtrack to our journeys, giving us the strength to persevere and make a difference.The Universal Language:One of the most remarkable aspects of music is its ability to connect people across cultures and languages. Regardless of whether we understand the lyrics or the cultural context, we can still feel the raw emotions conveyed through the music. It serves as a bridge, fostering understanding and empathy between individuals who may otherwise be separated by barriers. Music has the power to bring us closer together, reminding us of our shared humanity.Conclusion:Music is a powerful tool that has the ability to transport us to different emotional landscapes. It allows us to relive cherished memories, find solace in times of sadness, and empowers us to overcome challenges. Through its universal language, music connects us with others, fostering a sense of unity and understanding. So, the next time you listen to a song, let yourself be swept away by the emotions it invokes, and embrace the transformative power of music.。

Those in charge of Gandhi's security havebeen suspended, and an investigation is under way.2. Jess Moore, NASA's top official in charge of the shuttle programwhen Challenger exploded, announced today he's leaving his newpost as Director of the Johnson Space Center. Moore will take aleave of absence and then be reassigned to NASA headquarters inWashington. NPR's Daniel Zwerdling reports. 'Theobvious ques-tion, of course, is this： Is Jess Moore leaving his job and taking ayear off work because of the Challenger accident? Moore came un-der quite a bit of pressure before a congressional committee earlythis summer when his former assistant testified that hetold Moore indetail almost a year ago that there were seriousproble'ms with the,shuttle rocket's 0-rings, the same 0-rings thateventually causedthe Challenger accident. That testimony flatlycontradicted whatMoore's been saying all along： that he did not know the0-ringproblems were serious until after the Challenger exploded. Congres-sional sources who've interviewed Moore told me that they have noway of knowing just who's telling the truth, Moore, or Moore's for-mer assistant. But one top congressional aide who met with Moorerecently says the NASA veteran's been depressed since the Chal-lenger blew up. He says, 'Moore doesn't have the edge he used to.He's hollow inside, just like a lot of guys at NASA who worked onthe shuttle. ' 'Jess Moore,' the aide says, 'is not the man he was be-fore the accident, and he needs a rest.' I'm Daniel Zwerdling inWashington."Section Two： News in DetailTapescriptIndian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi survived an assassinationattempt in New Delhi today. The assailant fired a succession of shotsat Gandhi, who was attending a Hindu prayer service with his wifeand Indian President Zail Singh. Official sources have called the in-cident a major security lapse. Witnesses say Gandhi told securityguards two times he had heard gun shots; the security forcesreportedly dismissed the noise as motorcycle backfire.It was overhalf an hour later that police finally surrounded and captured thegunman. Six people were injured during the arrest. The BBC'sHumphrey Hoxley reports.'An official statement from the Home Ministry said that thosepolice officials who were directly responsible for the security ar-rangements for Mr. Gandhi have been suspended from duty. Seniorofficials in the Ministry say that a top-level investigation is underway to determine why the security around the Prime Minister, who'smeant to be one of the most closely protected government leaders inthe world, collapsed and how a gunman armed with an illegallymanufactured revolver broke through the security cordon undetect-ed to get within a few feet of the Prime Minister. Police say thegunman who's in his twenties may even have fired at Mr. Gandhiand his party as they were approaching the area to commemorate thebirthday of the independence leader Mohandas Gandhi, who is cre-mated there. The area was searched immediately; but security menfailed to spot the gunman, who was hiding on top of a concrete shel-ter hidden among thick green vines. The man opened fire again whenMr. Gandhi was leaving half an hour later. But when he was spotted,eyewitnesses say, he threw up his arms and shouted in Hindi, "I sur-render.' Police say he's not connected with any terrorist organiza-tion., nor is he part of the Sikh movement which murdered Mr.Gandhi's mother, Indira, two years ago. Humphrey Hoxley, BB4C,Delhi.@tion Three： Special ReportTapescriptIt is not just the weather with which farmers contend; there arehigher costs for growing food and lower prices when selling it. Andthese combined to make farming an increasingly difficult life, espec-ially for small family farms. In New York, a new organization called'Farm Hands' is trying to help struggling farms in the region bylinking city dwellers with farmers. As John Kailish reports, thescheme seems to benefit both.Last week, two actors, a housewife, a tour guide, a dog walkerand an unemployed social worker, all from the New York metropoli-tan area, spent a day working on Hall Gibson's fruit and vegetablefarm located in the Upstate New York town of Brewster. The con-tingent also included two four-year-olds. The group listenedattentively as Gibson gave the lengthy orientation talk complete withaerial photographs of his 125-acre farm. 'This area was called partof the New York milk shed. One of the big incentives to producingmilk in this area was the founding of the Borden plant.' After theorientation talk the group walked to a five-acre fieldthat was linedwith rows of tomatoes and turnips, eggplants and cabbage. Gibsongave some brief picking instructions to two women whowere goingto harvest cherry tomatoes. 'If they are split like this, throw them,away or eat them.' "OK.' The transplanted urbanites picked sixbushels of tomatoes and sixty pints of raspberries over the course ofseveral hours. The farmhands were perfect strangers when they leftManhattan, but out in the field in Putnam County, they had notrouble striking up conversations that included such heady topics asromance in television.Laura Moore, a housewife and part-time teacher fromBrooklyn, has made four trips to area farms with her daughterShe was picking yellow lowacid tomatoes as she explainedwhy she enjoys the Farm Hands program."It's therapeutic, mentally, physically, and it's exhilarating. Thisis my way of getting out, escaping the city life for a while. I love thecity. But in the fresh air, you get a feeling that you are really living."In addition to the one-day farm outings, Farm Hands alsoplaces individuals ( . farms for periods ranging from a week to sev-eral months. In exchange for their labor, participantsget a minimumwage, room and board, or produce to take back with themto thecity. In its first year of operation, Farm Hands has placed twentypeople on farms for a period of two months or longer. More thantwo hundred people have gone on the one-day workintensives orthe field trips that are often more play than work. Hall Gibson hashad four long term farm-hands this summer. At the moment, he'sbenefiting from the hard work of a twenty- eight-year-old NewYork City painter named Debby Fisher. Because Gibson's farm isorganic, weeds are a major problem. Farmer Gibson says that whenDebby Fisher clears weeds from the fields, she works like a demon.'She's been just driven to rescue crops and she's rescued a num-ber of crops. My bok choy crop - the best I've ever had - was res-cued by her. Debby is a gem.'The Farm Hands program was founded bytwenty-seven-year-old Wendy Dubid, an enthusiastic advocate oflinking farms and cities. In an interview at a farmers' market in NewYork city, Dubid said Farm Hands may mean cheap laborsforfarmers, but she maintains the program has a broader impact."It's not just the labor that helps those farmers; it's the appre-ciative consumers. They suddenly realize after an hour of pickingraspberries and scratching their own arms on the bramble, they un-derstand the farm reality and the value of food, and may becomevaluable consumers and customers for those farmers.'Dubid says there was only one Farm Hand placement thatdidnot work out this year, a fifteen-year-old footballplayer who an-tagonized his host family in Upstate New York. Farmhands arecurrently working in New York, Connecticut and New Jersey. Plansare already under way to expand the Farm Hands program toMaryland, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Vermont.。
