听力原文: James Anthony, who is considered to be the greatest living dramatist of the American theater, was born in Bangor, Maine in 1921. He attended the public schools of Bangor and although he was the son of a poor European immigrant, he found a way to go to college. In 1939, he won a scholarship to the University of Maine, where he spent almost the next four years studying. I say almost, because during his last semester he was drafted into the United States Army. He spent the next three years in the army and was honorably discharged in 1945, at the close of World War Ⅱ. In the army his job was to translate French documents into English, although his best foreign language was Italian.

听力原文: Now about the news. An early morning fire damaged the historic Gallad House today. It destroyed the third floor of the building but fire fighters saved the first and second floors. There were only a few elderly people living in the building at the time and they were carried out to safety. The Galled House was built in 1718 and was used as a hotel for over 150 years. George Washington stayed here in 1782. The Galled family owned the building until the 1930s. Then they sold it to the Muss family. Five years ago it was made into a building for the elderly.

"A 100 percent treehouse would take years to create," Joachim said.__3__ the climate, a house could take anywhere from 5 to 30 years to grow. Fortunately, there's a way to speed up the process. Joachim suggests including ecological materials such as sod (草皮), grasses and living branches in the housing designs. "This material would be able to move as the house grows," Joachim said.
A home would become an actual ecosystem, a community of plants, animals, and bacteria working together. The trees would also give off water vapor that would assist in __4__ the homes. Solar panels and wind would help provide energy. The tree homes might even have soil pockets, where plants could grow from the structure itself.

The originators of the Welfare State idea were concerned to alleviate(使减轻) or remove what they saw as the evils of their time. Their efforts resulted in a great improvement in the standard of living and life expectancy in Britain. This progress in itself has simulated the increasing cost of maintaining the Welfare State. Over 45 percent of the health authority expenditure on hospitals and community services is spent on care of the elderly. Yet there are indications that Beveridge calculated that less would need to be spent on people once they retired. Advances in medical knowledge have involved the use of expensive drugs and hospital procedures. Drug and alcohol abuse make increasing demands on the medical services.
The present government is planning a new approach to the social security system, which accounts for nearly one-third of public expenditure. Changes in the movement's pension scheme to encourage private schemes will start from April this year. Different ways of assessing need are planned. To enable closer monitoring and control, the DHSS has begun the biggest computerization program in Europe. Suggestions have been made by opposition politicians that the present movement intends to say "farewell" to the Welfare State. Although all the major parties in Britain say they are committed to a caring society, there's a considerable difference in the means each would wish to use to achieve it. As the old saying goes, "only time will tell".

D.If the government decides one is below the minimum standard of living, supplementary benefits are provided.
