听力原文： Advertising is made up of the techniques and practices used to bring products, services, opinions, or causes to public notice for the purpose of persuading the public to respond in a certain way towards what is advertised. Most advertising involves promoting the goods that are for sale, but similar methods are used to encourage people to drive safely, to support various charities, or to vote for political candidates. In many countries advertising is the most important source of income for the media, through which it is conducted. In the ancient and medieval world such advertising was conducted by word of mouth. The first step toward modem advertising came with the development of printing in the 15th and 16th centuries. In the 17th century, weekly newspapers in London began to carry advertisements, and by the 18th century, such advertising was flourishing.
There are eight principal media for advertising. Perhaps the most basic medium is the newspaper, which offers advertisers a large circulation. Magazines, the other chief print medium, may be of general interest or they may be aimed at specific audiences, such as people interested in outdoor sports, computers or literature. In Western industrial nations the most pervasive media are television and radio because of the size and composition of the audience. The other advertising media include direct mail, which can make a highly detailed and personalized appeal; outdoor billboards and posters; transit advertising, which can reach the millions of users; and miscellaneous media, including dealer displays and promotional items.

Steps are being taken to preserve the black robin. Detailed studies are going on, and a public appeal for money has been made. The idea is to buy another island nearby as a special home for threatened wild life, including black robins. The organizers say that Little Mangere should then tie supplied with the robin’s food— it eats only one kind of seed. Thousands of the required plants are at present being cultivated in New Zealand. The public appeal is aimed at the conscience of mankind, so that the wild black robin will not die out and disappear from the earth in our lime at least.
Is all this concern a waste of human effort？ Is it any business of ours whether the black robin survives or dies out？ Are we losing our sense of what is reasonable and what is unreasonable？
In the earth’ s long, long past hundreds of kinds of creatures have evolved, risen to a degree of success—and died out. In the long, long future there will be many new and different forms of life. Those creatures that adapt themselves successfully to what the earth offers will survive for a long time. Those that fail to meet the challenges will disappear early. This is Nature’s proven method of operation.
The rule of selection—the survival of the fittest—is the one by which human beings have themselves arrived on the scene. He, being one of the most adaptable creatures the earth has yet produced, may last longer than most. You may take it as another rule that when, at last, man shows signs of dying out , no other creature will extend a paw to postpone our departure. For Nature, though fair, is a hard-hearted mistress. She has no favorites.
Life seems to have grown too tough for black robins. I leave you to judge whether we should try to do something about it.
The black robins are getting fewer and fewer because ______.
A．there are too many other kinds of birds on the island
B．of lack of food
C．they can’t multiply
D．there is no room for them on the island
Eastern District of New York Judge Jack B. Weinstein's 540-page opinion in Schwab v. Philip Morris USA, Inc., 04-CIV-1945—which included an additional 965 pages of appendices for a total of 1,505 pages—gave tens of millions of smokers an avenue to recover damages from the nation's largest tobacco companies, including Philip Morris USA Inc., R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., Lorillard Tobacco Co., and Liggett Group, Inc.
The class will include anyone who purchased light cigarettes from the time tobacco companies began selling them in the 1970s. The judge said he even would consider broadening the class, to encompass smokers of all "low tar" brands, not just light cigarettes. The judge suggested that an expansion of the class could assist the parties in negotiating a global settlement. He set a trial date for January 22, 2007. The plaintiffs intend to seek treble damages.
einstein has expressed skepticism about the plaintiffs' theory of damages, which alleges that light smokers were defrauded of billions because they believed they were buying a product of greater value because of its health advantages. The judge also questioned the size of the class, as well as the claim that as many as 90 percent of light cigarette smokers chose the cigarettes because they were less harmful.
In his ruling Monday, the judge stressed that while the suit was far from perfect, the evidence was sufficient. He said the jury system—which he described as the "ultimate focus group of the law"—was well equipped to sort out the particulars in accordance with Amendment Ⅶ of the U.S. Constitution.
Weinstein declined to grant an interlocutory appeal to the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Theodore M. Grossman of Jones Day in Cleveland, which represents R.J. Reynolds, said the defendants would seek a stay and appeal the class certification under Rule 23(f)of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
From the passage it can be inferred that "a $200 billion class action lawsuit" is one that ______ .
A．requires a public fund of $200 billion
B．may lead to US $200 billion in payment
C．involves an investment of US $200 billion
D．is about what the tobacco industry is worth
