听力原文： All warm-blooded animals are very helpless at first. Young birds and young bats must be taught to fly. Thousands of young seals drown every year. They never learn to swim "naturally." The mother has to take them out under her flipper and show them how. Birds sing without instruction; however, they do not sing well unless they are able to hear older members of their species. Older harvest mice build better nests than beginners. Frank Buck says that the young elephant does not seem to know at first what his trunk is for. It gets in his way and seems more of a hindrance than a help until his parents show him what to do with it. Insects, seem to start life equipped with all necessary reflexes, but they seem to improve their talents with practice. Young spiders, for example, begin by making quite primitive little webs. They attain perfection in their art only after much time. Older spiders, if deprived of their spinnerets, will take to hunting.

听力原文： New York City

Commuters in New York City face another day of trying to figure out how to get around because strike by subway and bus workers is on its second day. Yesterday, a state judge ruled that the strike was illegal and imposed a-million-dollar-a-day fine on the transit union. The union called the fine excessive and promised to appeal. The strike has made it much harder for people to get around in the city, and city officials the New York's economy could take a big hit. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the strike could end up costing the city about 400 million dollars a day, about a third of its daily output.

Hong Kong

Global trade resumes today in Hong Kong. Protesters scuffled with police, and the U.S. and the E.U. exchanged barbs over whose policies are most in need of reform. Delegates from some African countries say there is one change they like to see right away. They want the U. S. to stop paying its farmers to grow cotton. Because of the subsidies, the Africans are the ones in trouble. U.S. over-production has driven down global price by nearly 20%, according to the World Bank, to the point where even the Africans can't make money. U.S. trade representative Robert Zoellick says the U.S. hopes to eventually eliminate the subsidies, but he says cotton has to be part of a broader agricultural deal.

Baghdad

Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein faces a new phase of trial in Iraq today. Witnesses will be heavily guarded at Saddam's trial. Defense lawyers will also be in the court. They had threatened to boycott the trial after two defense lawyers were shot dead. Now U. S. officials say lawyers for Saddam Hussein and his seven co-defendants have been offered and the, quote, most robust security possible. The Iraq tribunal expects at least one attorney for each defendant to appear at Monday's session.

Paris

Riots that have been raging in immigrant communities in the suburbs of Paris for twelve days have now spread to some three hundred cities about the country. And today the first fatality, a man who was in a coma after being beaten, died of his injuries. The rioters have torched thousands of cars and buses, also commuter trams, businesses, schools. The riots started after two teenagers were electrocuted in the Paris suburbs. The young men apparently thought they were being chased by police and hid in a power sub-station.

Tehran

Iran says it's expecting more talks with the Europeans about its nuclear activities in the coming weeks. Negotiations would resume sometime after tomorrow's meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna. Iran's nuclear program will also be on the agenda at the meeting. Under heavy U. S. pressure in September, the IAEA took a step towards referring the matter to the UN Security Council, which has the power to impose economic sanctions. But for the moment, the action has been put off. Diplomats are exploring a new idea from Russia that would permit nuclear power in Iran but protect against its acquisition of nuclear weapons.

Questions：

6. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the strike in New York City？

7.What is the main purpose of African delegates in their talks with U. S. representatives？
