Part III Listening ComprehensionSection A 短对话Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations. At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B), C) and D), and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.11.W: What's wrong with your phone, Gary? I tried to call you all night yesterday.M: I'm sorry. No one's able to get through yesterday. My telephone was disconnected by the phone company.Q: What does the woman ask the man about?12.W: I finally found a really nice apartment that's within my price range.M: Congratulations! Affordable housing is rare in this city. I've been looking for a suitable place since I got here six months ago.Q: What does the man mean?13.M: I got this in my mailbox today, but I don't know what it is. Do you have any idea?W: Oh, that's your number for the new photocopier. It acquires an access code. Everyone got one.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?14.W: Jane told me that you'll be leaving at soon. Is it true?M: Yeah, my wife's maternity leave is close to an end. And since she wants to go back to work, I've decided to take a year off to raise the baby.Q: What does the man mean?15M: We'll never find a parking space here. What about dropping you at thesouth gate and I'll find parking somewhere else.W: Well, OK. It looks like everyone in town came to the mall today.Q: What does the woman mean?16W: When will the computers be back online?M: Probably not until tomorrow. The problem is more complicated than I thought.Q: What does the man mean?17M: Did you catch Professor Smith on TV last night?W: I almost missed it, but my mother just happened to be watching at home and gave me a call. Q: What does the woman imply?18M: May I get this prescription refilled?W: I'm sorry, sir, but we can't give you a refill on that. You'll have to get a new prescription.Q: What can we infer from the conversation?Conversation OneW: Well, it’s the South Theater Company. They want to know if we’d be interested in sponsoring a tour they want to make to East Asia.M: East Asia? uhh… and how much are they hoping to get from us?W: Well, the letter mentions 20,000 pounds, but I don’t know if they might settle for us.M: Do they say what they would cover? Have they anything specific in mind?W: No, I think they are just asking all the firms in tongue for as much money as they think they’ll give.M: And we are worth 20, 000 pounds, right?W: It seems so.M: Very flattering. But I am not awfully happy with the idea. What we get out of it?W: Oh, good publicity I suppose. So what I suggest is not that we just give them a sum of money, but that we offer to pay for something specific like travel or something, and that in return, we ask for our name to be printed prominently in the program, and that they give us free advertising space in it.M: But the travel bill would be enormous, and we could never manage that.W: I know. But why don’t we offer to pay for the printing of the programs ourselves on condition that on the front cover there's something like This program is presented with the compliments of Norland Electronics, and free advertising of course.M: Good idea. Well, let’s get back to them and ask what the program they want will cost. Then we can see if we are interested or not.Questions 19-21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. What do we learn about the South Theater Company?20. What benefit does the woman say their firm can get by sponsoring the Theater Company?21. What does the woman suggest they do instead of paying t he South Theater Company’s travel expenses?Conversation TwoW: Rock stars now face a new hazard --- voice abuse. After last week's announcement that PhilCollins might give up touring because live concerts are ruining his voice, doctors are counseling stars about the dos and don'ts of voice care. Here in the studio today, we have Mr. Paul Phillips, an expert from the High Field Hospital. Paul, what advice would you give to singers facing voice problems?M: If pop singers have got voice problems, they really need to be more selective about where they work. They shouldn't work in smoky atmospheres. They also need to think about resting their voices after a show. Something else they need to be careful about is medicines. Aspirin, for example, singers should avoid aspirin. It thins the blood. And if a singer coughs, this can result in the bruising of the vocal cords.W: And is it true that some singers use drugs before concerts to boost their voices when they have voice problems?M: Yes, this does happen on occasion. They are easily-available on the continent and they are useful if a singer has problems with his vocal cords and has to sing that night. But if they are taken regularly, they cause a thinning of the voice muscle. Most pop singers suffer from three things: lack of training, overuse and abuse of the voice, especially when they are young. They have difficult lives. When they go on tour, they do a vast number of concerts, singing in smoky places.W: So, what would you advise the singers to do?M: Warm you voice up before a show and warm it down after.Questions 22-25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.22. What does last week's announcement say about rock star, Phil Collins?23. What does Paul Philips say about aspirin?24. What does Paul Philips say about young pop singers?25. What are the speakers mainly talking about?Passage 1Would you trust a robot to park your car? The question will confront New Yorkers in February as the city's first robotic parking opens in Chinatown.The technology has been successfully applied overseas, but the only other public robotic garage in the United States has been troublesome, dropping vehicles and trapping cars because of technical problems.Nonetheless, the developers of the Chinatown garage are confident with the technology and are counting on it to squeeze 67 cars in an apartment-building basement that would otherwise fit only 24, accomplished by removing a maneuver space normally required.A human-shaped robot won't be stepping into your car to drive it. Rather, the garage itself does the parking. The driver stops the car on a flat platform and gets out. The platform is lowered into the garage, and it is then transported to a vacant parking space by a computer-controlled device similar to an elevator that also runs sideways.There is no human supervision, but an attendant will be on hand to accept cash and explain thesystem to newly users. Parking rates will be attracted about $400 monthly or $25 per day, according to Ari Milstein, the director of planning for Automation Parking Systems, which is the U.S. subsidiary of a German company. This company has built automated garages in several countries overseas and in the United States for residents of a Washington, D.C. apartment building.Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What do we learn about the robot parking in the U.S. so far?27. What advantage does robotic parking have according to the developers?28. What does the attendant do in the automated garage?29. What does the company say about the parking rate?Passage 2A recent study shows that meat consumption is one of the main ways that human can damage the environment, second only to the use of motor vehicles. So how can eating meat have a negative effect on the environment? For a start, all animals, such as cows, pigs and sheep, always gas limed methane, which is the second most common green house gas after carbon dioxide. Many environmental experts now believe that methane is more responsible for global warming than carbon dioxide. It is estimated that 25% of all methane that released into the atmosphere coming from farm animals. Another way in which meat production affects the environment is through the use of water and land. 2,500 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of beef. While 20 gallons of water are need to produce one pound of wheat. One acre of farmland use to for raising cows can produce 250 pounds of beef. One acre of farmland use to for crop production can produce 1,500 pounds of tomatoes. Many people now say the benefits of switching to vegetarian diet which excludes meat and fish. Not just for health reasons, but also because it plays a vital role in protecting the environment. However, some nutritionists advise against switching to a totally strict vegetarian diet. They believe such a diet which includes no products from animal sources can be deficient in many of the necessary vitamins and minerals our bodies need. Today many people have come to realize that help the environment and for the human race to survive, more of us will need to become vegetarian.Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you've just heard.30. What does the recent study show?31. What do some nutritionists say about the strict vegetarian diet?32. What does the speaker think more people need to do?Passage 3Alcoholism is a serious disease. Nearly nine million Americans alone suffer from the illness. Many scientists disagree about what the differences are between the alcohol addict and social drinker. The difference occurs when someone needs to drink. And this need gets in the way of his healthor behavior. Alcohol causes a loss of judgment and alertness. After a long period, alcoholism can deteriorate the liver, the brain and other parts of the body. The illness is dangerous, because it is involved in half of all automobile accidents. Another problem is that the victim often denies being an alcohol addict and won’t get help. Solutions do exist. Many hospitals and centers help patients cope. Without the assistance, the victim can destroy his life. He would detach himself from the routines of life. He may lose his employment, home or loved ones.All the causes of the sickness are not discovered yet. There is no standard for a person with alcoholism. Victims range in age, race, sex and background. Some groups of people are more vulnerable to the illness. People from broken homes and North American Indians are two examples. People from broken homes often lack stable lives. Indians likewise had the traditional life taken from them by white settlers who often encourage them to consume alcohol to prevent them from fighting back. The problem has now been passed on. Alcoholism is clearly present in society today. People have started to get help and information. With proper assistance, victims can put their lives together one day.Question 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q33. What is the problem of the victims about alcoholism according to the speaker?Q34. Why did white settlers introduce alcohol to Indians?Q35. What does the speaker seem to believe about those affected by alcoholism?复合式听写Self-image is the picture you have of yourself, the sort of person you believe you are. Included in your self-image are the categories in which you place yourself, the roles you play and other similar descriptors you use to identify yourself. If you tell an acquaintance you are a grandfather who recently lost his wife and who does volunteer work on weekends, several elements of your self-image are bought to light — the roles of grandparent, widower and conscientious citizen.But self-image is more than how you picture yourself; it also involves how others see you. Three types of feedback from others are indicative of how they see us: conformation, rejection, and disconfirmation. Conformation occurs when others treat you in a manner consistent with who you believe you are.You believe you have leadership abilities and your boss put you in charge of a new work team. On the other hand, rejection occurs when others treat you in a manner that is inconsistent with yourself definition. Pierre Salinger was appointed senator from California but subsequently lost his first election. He thought he was a good public official, but the voters obviously thought otherwise— Their vote was inconsistent with his self-concept. The third type of feedback is disconfirmation, which occurs when others fail to respond to your notion of self by responding neutrally. A student writes what he thinks is an excellent composition, but the teacher writes no encouraging remarks. Rather than relying on how others classify you, consider how you identify yourself. The way in which you identify yourself is the best refection of yourself-image.2013年6月英语六级听力复合式听写题目+答案+解析Self-image is the picture you have of yourself, the sort of person you believe you are. _______ in your self-image are the _______ in which you place yourself, the roles you play and other _______ descriptors you use to identify yourself.

标题：BBC新闻在线收听附字幕(2013-05-28)听力内容：BBC News with Fiona MacDonald.After a day of talks in Brussels, European Union foreign ministers have so far been unable to agree on whether to relax the EU's arms embargo on Syria. The talks have resumed following a short break in an effort to reach a compromise. Britain and France want the ability to supply weapons to what they call the “moderate opposition” to President Bashar al-Assad. But many other EU members want the arms embargo and other sanctions renewed. Speaking earlier, the French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius outlined his country's position.“What we the French want is first to find a consensus solution. It's very important for us that the European Union adopt a sole position on this matter. Then we obviously want the fighters, the resistance, to get access to arms in order to resist all attacks by Bashar al-Assad's regime. This is the second point. And thirdly, if weapons were to be delivered, they must be controlled.”It's emerged that one of the strongest advocates of US military aid for the Syrian opposition, Senator John McCain, has made a surprise visit to Syria to talk to rebel leaders. He's the highest ranking elected US official to go there since the civil war began in 2011. The visit came as the US Secretary of State John Kerry met his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in Paris. Ben Wright reports from Washington.It's not known how John McCain entered Syria on Monday or which rebel leaders he met when he was there. But it's a typically daring visit by the 76-year-old Republican senator. He has called for the imposition of a no-fly zone over Syria and the arming of rebel forces. Earlier this month, the White House and the Pentagon said they were looking at all the options, but there remains caution in Washington about extending US involvement in Syria. The Obama administration currently provides non-lethal aid to the rebels, but has so far refused to provide weaponry.Car bombs in and around the Iraqi capital Baghdad have killed at least 65 people. These attacks targeted busy shopping areas and markets. Rami Ruhayel reports from Baghdad.A series of car bomb attacks struck predominantly Shia areas in the Iraqi capital. Most of the casualties appear to be civilians. The bombs struck just a few hours after the Ministry of Interior released a statement, saying that the violence in Iraq cannot be seen as sectarian in nature because the bombs do not distinguish between Sunnis and Shia. The people behind the violence appear to be targeting different communities by turn in order to maximize the perception that one attack is in response to the other.Nigeria's governing party, the PDP, has suspended a powerful state governor who does not support President Goodluck Jonathan standing for reelection in 2015. Party officials said Rotimi Amaechi of the oil-rich Rivers state had violated party rules.World News from the BBCAfrican Union leaders meeting in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa have accused the International Criminal Court of being racially biased against Africa. The Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn, who hosted the gathering, said almost all the suspects who had been pursued by the ICC were Africans. More from Genc Lamani.The Ethiopian prime minister said the ICC had moved away from its original objective of fighting impunity, ill governance and crime. Instead, he said, the process on Africa had degenerated into what he called “race hunting”. He said the AU heads of state were opposed to the ICC trying Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto on charges of crimes against humanity.Firefighters have rescued a new-born baby who was lodged in a waste pipe of a public toilet in China. They were called when people heard the infant crying. Dramatic television pictures show rescuers cutting out a section of the pipe in a residential building in the city of Jinhua. The pipe was then taken to a hospital where it was carefully pulled apart, revealing a baby boy inside. The infant who's now recovering is thought to be just a few days old. His parents have not been found.The authorities in Chile have ordered the evacuation of more than 2,000 people living near a volcano in the south of the country. They issued a red alert, the highest possible, saying the Copahue volcano could erupt again. Last December it began spewing ash and gas with smoke rising more than 1km into the sky. The authorities in neighbouring Argentina are also on alert.The Catholic Church in Venezuela said it's running out of wine to celebrate Mass because of renewed shortages of basic products. Monsignor Roberto Lucker told the BBC that a lack of basic ingredients had forced the only winemaker in Venezuela to stop selling it to the church. He said he didn't know whether they could afford more expensive wines from abroad.BBC News。

Love in the Time of CholeraREPORTER: Now the themes of isolation and delusion are also present in Love in the Time of Cholera, a new film based on the deeply personal novel by Colombian Nobel prizewinning author and the man often credited as the godfather of Magical Realism Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Love in the Time of Cholera tells the story of a hopeless romantic played by Javier Bardem, yep, the very same actor who just won awards galore as the psycho killer having a bad hair day in No Country for Old Men. His character Florentino devotes more than fifty years of his life, hopelessly in love with the fragrant Fermina, played by Italian actress Giovanna Mezzogiorno. Mostly from afar until the death of her husband Dr. Urbino, allows him to once again profess his adoration and stake his claim for her affections.JAVIER BARDEM: I have waited for this opportunity for fifty one years, nine months four days. That is how long I have loved you, from the first moment I cast eyes on you until now. I will meet you once again my love, eternal fidelity, ever last love.GIOVANNA MEZZOGIORNO: Florentino, please, get out of here! Get out, and don't show your face again for the years of life that are left to you. And I hope that I buried you in that.REPORTER: Let it be said in the mean time, Florentino's spent most of his adult life sleeping with more that 600 women and unusual way perhaps to display his eternal fidelity. The screenplay's been adapted by Ronald Harwood, who's had enormous success of late with The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. And is directed by the British filmmaker Mike Newell, perhaps best known for Four weddings and a Funeral, Donnie Brasco and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. However things have not gone so well for this latest project, which is being critically slammed upon its release. It's certainly an unenviable task to try and condense Marquez's dazzling prose into the language of film. So when I meet up with director Mike Newell, I asked him first, wasn't he daunted by the project?MIKE NEWELL: I did it because I, I loved what the book said, of the way that it said it and even though I felt that it wasn't going to be possible to do the book without having 16 hours. I loved the book so much that I wanted to do what I could. REPORTER: What were the biggest problems there for you when you looked at the adaptation from the book?MIKE NEWELL: Well the biggest problems were stylistic in a way, because of what Marquez does. He gave me a set of notes when the script first came in and he said very good, eh, all the things that you would expect him to say. He's quite cantankerous, um, but he said, where is my stitch work? And I thought, what on earth is stitch work mean? And I realized that what he meant was that you never discover it in a straight line, the characters are always you set of a lot of line and he's take you back and fold it. It's like making strudel dough, you fold it, you punch it out, you fold it again, you punch it out, that's how he writes. And I think that's what he meant by stitch work, the way everything if folded and then embroidered and then folded and embroidered again. And I can't give him his stitch work because if you try to do that, the thing will turn to sludge in film terms, that was the greatest worry. I think it was always there, I think it is there and at the same time there were compensating things for me, which mean that, while knowing that I should still go on.REPORTER: Lets talk about the casting, the younger version of Florentino is played by one actor. Obviously, Javier Bardem plays him as an older man. How confident were you that that could be bridged?MIKE NEWELL: I think really the greater difficulty is why didn't I do it for both roles. I did it with Javier because, Javier could supremely do the old age but he couldn't do the young, you couldn't get him below 24, it was just not possible. And so, I was very unwilling to change the story to the degree that I felt it would be changed if I simply said, look this is about a guy who falls in love at 24. So we doubled him and as far as Giovanna, the girl who plays the love of his life is concerned, she could make the age. And I knew that that was a very, it was a dangerous thing to do and so I looked and I looked and I looked for the same trick and didn't find it, simply didn't find it and so what am I gonna do, there we are.REPORTER: It's almost like, make a bigger point of it and you possibly could have done in both had changed. Is that, is that fair?MIKE NEWELL: Yes, totally fair, sure, coffin and nail.REPORTER: Okay, lets talk about some bigger theme in the novel and how you try and translate them in the film. And inevitably the sociopolitical background of this, in this novel, about the change in, in the advances in medicine and what, who being represents which is the confuter and tackling things like cholera against, if you like, the old fashioned romanticism that Florentino represents?MIKE NEWELL: To start with that's a very elegant formulation of how modernity vs. tradition works in the uh, works in the book. And I'm not sure that I had space for that. I think when you ask this sort of question, and I asked it of myself all the time and did while I was shooting. You think to yourself, well why are you doing it, what is going to be there? If you're not doingthis stuff and what I said was, that there is a direct quote right in the end of the movie which is almost the last paragraph of the book, that is in the caption of the river boat of which they hold up. He says, uh, I discover to my joy that it was life not death that was, uh, triumphant. So that he, as you watch these people growing older, with all of the characteristics which I tried to give them, the writing the novel says, that growing older, is, is a triumph if you have not been defeated, growing older is a triumph. And I worried away at the title, what does Love in the Time of Cholera means? Do I believe in love? Is love anything? I was absolutely not convinced that love was anything, certainly not as practiced by Florentino, you know, a life long devotion towards one woman and 623 lovers, um…REPORTER: Virginity of the soul, I think it's called.MIKE NEWELL: All right, okay, I wished I'd though of that,REPORTER: You have done such a wide assortment of films in your life, your career.MIKE NEWELL: Actually, I would screw career, screw success. If just once in a while maybe one or two people are actually going to go and see it in which case they might then, we can look. And if they've read the book, then that's good news. REPORTER: It's very altruistic, does that?MIKE NEWELL: Well yeah, but I mean there's no, during the older world service, it takes. I'm not selling the movie through you, I'm simply telling you the truth. And, and I got my bum bitten pretty badly, I didn't care. When an audience goes to see this movie, it is going to feel, eh, to some people as if they own it, it is the bible, it's one piece, its one of, you know, the half dozen greatest novels ever written, um, how could it possibly be smudged and fingered in this way. Um, but there are a lot of people who are going to see it, who won't have read the book, who might read the book again, who will take with them a kind of miasma of how wonderful South America is and then they'll discover the book which will show them really how wonderful South America is, and that writer is, and that will be good.。

Turkish artillery unit has fired on Syria for the first time since the Syrian conflict began 18 months ago. It came after a mortar bomb fired from inside Syria killed 5 Turkish citizens. James Reynolds reports from the Turkish-Syrian border.自18个月前叙利亚冲突开始以来，土耳其首次向叙利亚发射大炮。

就在此前，从叙利亚境内发射过来的追击炮杀死了5名土耳其公民。

詹姆斯·雷诺兹在土耳其与叙利亚边境报道。

It is not immediately clear what Turkey was intending to hit. It comes in response to the killing earlier in the day of five Turkish civilians in the town of Akcakale.A mother and three of her children were among the dead when a shell landed. Over the past year, the government of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has strongly supported the Syrian opposition. But at the same time, Mr. Erdogan has not wanted his country to fight Syria directly, but the killing of Turkish civilians along the border may have made him reevaluate it that policy.目前尚不清楚土耳其开炮的目的，这是对早先阿卡卡尔镇5名平民遇害事件的回应，一名母亲和她的孩子也在炮弹来袭时丧生。

BBC英语听力2012年01月合辑（文本＋翻译）：BBC0106Iran has said it will not disrupt shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, moderating a threat it made last week to the busy sea route. The annoucement was made on the final day of naval exercises in the area. As James Reynolds reports.伊朗称不会在霍尔木兹海峡停止海运，这使伊朗上周购买繁忙航线造成的威胁有所缓和。

伊朗是在该地区海军演习的最后一天做出此宣布的，James Reynolds报道。

Tens days of naval exercises in the Gulf needed a fitting climax, so Iran tested a new surface-to-sea missile. The military called it a long-range weapon but it's only able to hit targets within the Gulf. Iran has been keen to demonstrate its strengh within the region. Last week the country felt bold enough to suggest that it might even close the Strait of Hormuz if the west impose sanctions on Iran's oil industries. But Iran's navy has not tempted that threat.海湾地区的十天海军演习需要一个合适的高潮，于是伊朗就测试了一枚新的地对空导弹。

BBC环球慢速英语在线听力第110集Boys and GirlsVoice 1Hello. I‟m Tony Ford.Voice 2And I‟m Ruby Jones. Welcome to Spotlight. This programme uses a special English method of broadcasting. It is easier for people to understand, no matter where in the world they live.Voice 1In the Chinese city of Huizhou, a class is in progress. The children are four and five years old. They are excited to be in school. They look at the teacher. They sit in front of small tables. And they listen quietly to what the teacher says. This is a chance for them to learn and to have fun. But there is something different about this class. Most of the students are boys - thirty-nine [39] of them. There are only eight [8] girls.Voice 2This situation is becoming common in parts of China. In today‟s Spotlight we tell of family planning policies in China. We examine the problem of too few women. And we tell of China‟s hopes to change the situation. But first we return to the class in Huizhou.Voice 1Ms. Zeng is the school‟s head teacher. She said h aving more boys around than girls is affecting the children‟s behaviour.Voice 3“It is a serous problem. When there are more boys than girls, the girls copy the boys. And they become overly forceful.”Voice 1In the late 1970‟s, China was worried about it s population growing too large. When a population grows too quickly, there are not enough jobs or resources for everyone. So the government made a law to try and control the situation. The law stated that families should only have one child, especially in cities. Later, the law permitted families in the countryside to have two children, if the first child was a girl. Parents that disobeyed the law could receive severe punishments.Voice 2Even with this policy, China has more people than any other country in the world. By 2006, China‟s population was one point three thousand million [1,300,000,000]. So, the Chinese government believes it is best to continue with the one-child policy.Many families want more children, especially in the country areas. Parents depend on their children to support them in their old age. In traditional Chinese culture, after marriage a woman lives with her husband‟s family. And she takes care of his family. This means her own parents could be left alone. This is one reason that parents like to have a boy. They believe that boys can take care of them better. Also, boys continue the family name.Voice 2So when a women gets pregnant in China, she and her husband want to know the sex of their child. Doctors are able to tell them this information with ultrasound tests. If the child is a girl, the parents may choose to end the pregnancy - to have an abortion. But the government is very worried about this situation. So it made it illegal for doctors to tell parents the sex of their child. However, many people pay doctors to tell them. Other doctors do not say any words. But they tell the family through signs. When the child is a boy, they give a thumb‟s up sign. When it is a girl, they give a thumb‟s down sign.Voice 1Some people say that the government needs to severely punish doctors who break the law. They say that the current law does not tell what the punishment should be for doctors who break it. They want prison sentences for these doctors.Voice 2However, there are people who cannot find out the sex of their child from a doctor. So they wait until after the birth. And some of them make an extreme decision. They decide to get rid of their baby girl. Often they leave the girl on the street. They write down her name and birth date. They hope that someone will find her.Voice 1The problem of fewer girls is particularly bad in country areas. The government found that there are ninety-nine [99] cities of concern. In these cities the number of boys is far greater than the number of girls - more than one-hundred and twenty-five boys [125] are born for every one hundred [100] girls. The United Nations suggests that the balance should not be more than one hundred and seven [107] to one hundred [100]. The current numbers are a bad sign for the future.Voice 2Experts estimate that by the year 2020, the problem will be severe. There could be over thirty million [30,000,000] men unable to find a woman to marry.Voice 1The problem has already started. In some parts of China, men are having a difficult time finding a wife. On the island of Hainan many men are unmarried. Liu Yanding is one such man. He tells of his situation:“How can we get married? I do not know what to do or where to start finding a wife.”Voice 1Experts are worried that this will lead to increased levels of crime in men. The men have no wives and children to go home to. And the experts believe that when too many young men group together, they can get into crime. Having a family is very important in the Chinese social structure. Other experts are worried about violence towards women. They fear that there will be more sex crime, and even forced marriages.Voice 2One solution is for parents to understand the value of having a daughter. As many people around China are moving for better jobs, many young women are moving too. And they are able to send money home to their parents. These parents are starting to see that daughters can provide for them. It is not only sons that can do this.Voice 1In 2003, the government be gan a policy called …Care for Girls‟. This policy gives financial help to parents who have female children. They do not have to pay taxes on their wages. They get better housing and employment. And, they do not have to pay for their daughters‟ education or medical care. But evidence suggests that most parents still want boys.Voice 2The government hopes to try to change people‟s opinions. One method they use is words painted on walls in public places. The words encourage people to value girls. They say, for example, …Girls are as important as boys‟ and …Both boys and girls are the hearts of their parents‟. The government also says it will punish doctors who break the law. It will continue to watch the situation.Voice 1Sadly there are no easy answers, especially for men such as Liu Yanding. He is left waiting. All he can do is hope and pray to find a future wife. All he has is his dream of a family, a family to come home to。
