听力原文:M: Ok, Amy. (21)Before we can find the right man for you, just tell us what kind of person you'd like to date. Don't be shy.
W: Well, OK. I've never done this before. I feel kind of silly, but here goes. (19)I guess I really like men who have a sense of humor. I love to laugh and be happy. That's the most important thing. But I don't like men who are really loud, I mean, I like men to laugh, but I don't want them to sound like donkeys.
M: OK, what else?
W: Oh, I like men who are intelligent and open-minded. Those two things go together, don't they? Good conversations are important. I love talking about books and movies and politics. I really hate men who think they're always right. You know? The stubborn ones who won't listen to new ideas. They always get into bad moods, if you don't agree with them. I don't like men who are moody.
M: Now, Amy, tell me about the perfect Saturday night date.
W: Hmm. Well, (20) he comes over to my place, and we cook dinner together. Then we put on some jazz, sit down to eat and talk about important things. Of course, he offers to help with the dishes. It really bothers me when a man won't help clean up.
M: Sounds romantic. OK. Last question. Is there anything you really don't like?
W: Well, sure. I really don't like men, or people, who don't respect other people.

Those private citizens who sent packages to our troops occupying Germany after World War II and marked them GIFT to escape duty payments did not bother to find out that "Gift" means poison in German. Moreover, we like to think of ourselves as friendly, yet we prefer to be at least 3 feet or an arm's length away from others. Latins and Middle Easterners like to come, closer and touch, which makes American uncomfortable.
Our linguistic and cultural blindness and the casualness with which we take no notice of the developed tastes, gestures ,customs and languages of other countries, are losing us friends, business and respect in the world.
Even here in the United States, we make few concessions to the needs of foreign visitors. There are no information signs in four languages on our public buildings or monuments; we do not have multilingual guided tours. Very few restaurant menus have translations, and multilingual waiters, bank clerks and policemen are rare. Our transportation systems have maps in English only and often we ourselves have difficulty understanding them.
When we go abroad, we tend to cluster in hotels and restaurants where English is spoken. The attitudes and information we pick up are conditioned by those natives — usually the richer — who speak English. Our business dealings, as well as the nation's diplomacy, are conducted through interpreters.
For many years, America and Americans could get by with cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance. After all, America was the most powerful country of the free world, the distributor of needed funds and goods.
But all that is past. American dollars no longer buy all good things, and we are slowly beginning to realize that our proper role in the world is changing. A 1979 Harris p011 reported that 55 percent of Americans want this country to play a more significant role in world affairs; we want to have a hand in the important decisions of the next century, even though it may not always be the upper hand.
We can infer that Americans being approached too closely by Middle Easterners would most probably______.
A.draw back
B.stand still
C.step forward
D.jump aside

It is my privilege to introduce again an annual report of the work of Our Lady's Hospice.
Our Lady's Hospice, the first of its kind in these western islands, has centered the second century of caring for those with terminal illness. It was first opened in Milltown and its opening was the realization of a long cherished(心中怀着)dream. For years the Sisters(修女)had longed for a place where poor, lonely, friendless dying persons--no longer fit subjects for hospital wards(病房)--could find care, comfort and peacefulness in their last days of life. In December 1879 these hopes were fulfilled when Our Lady's formally welcomed the first patients--35 in number.
So great were the applications for admission that six years later the foundation stone of the present Hospice was laid on 18th July 1886 and completed in August 1888.
Much has been written about the spirit of the Hospice and much will continue to be written with present increasing interest in the Hospice was opened in a spirit that regarded neither race, nor belief, nor class but looked simply to the need of the person for help and for peace in the last days of life. We hope the same spirit born out of love, care and respect for the dignity and worth of each human person, will comfort all, both patients and their loved ones, who seek our help in the Hospice today.
This report is given by ______.
A.a reporter who is interested in Hospice work
B.a patient representative
C.a leading figure of the Hospice
D.one of the founders of the Hospice
