listen to this练习：高级英语听力Lesson FourteenSection One： News in BriefTapescript1. State Department spokesman Bernard Kalb resigned today be-cause of the Reagan Administration's alleged disinformation cam-paign against Libya. The Washington Post reported last week thatthe administration planted false information about Libya in an effortto destabilize the government of Muammar Ouddafi. Kalb todav didnot confirm or deny that such a campaign tool,-- place, but he said re-ports about it had damaged the credibility of the US. The State De-partment would not comment on Kalb's resignation.2. The State Department todav criticized the Nicaraguan govern-ment for allegedly refusing to grant US officials access to EugeneHasenfus. He's the survivor of Sunday's plane crashinsideNicaragua. State Department spokesman Charles Redmond.'Ourrepresentative was not received by the Nicaraguan government. Andwe view this with the utmost seriousness. The renderingof consularservices is an essential part of the function of an embassy. TheSandinista government has once again taken action to make thatfunction difficult and has raised the question of whether, indeed, aUS embassy can function normally within Nicaragua. We franklycannot accept the delay in granting consular access since theSandinista government has apparently gone to some lengths to pa-rade Mr. Hasenfus before the press, and considering the fact that agovernment spokesman stated clearly last night onAmerican televi-sion that access would be granted.' Meanwhile President Reagantoday denied that the downed plane allegedly carrying arms toContra rebels was operating-under official US orders. He also ac-knowledged that the government has been aware thatprivateAmerican groups and citizens have been helping the anti-govern-ment forces in Nicaragua.Section Two： News in DetailTapescriptLast week the Washington Post reported that top-leveloffi-cials had approved a plan to generate real andillusionary events tomake Libya's Colonel Muammar Quddafi think the United Statesmight once again attack. Bernard Kalb's resignation is the first inprotest of that policy. A similar resignation occurred at the WhiteHouse in 1983 when a deputy quit to protest misleading statementsgiven to the press shortly before the American invasion of Grenada.NPR's Bill Busenberg has more on today's announcement.Bernard Kalb had been a veteran diplomatic correspondent forCBS and NBC before being picked two years ago by Secretary ofState George Shultz to be the Department's chief spokesman, offi-cially an Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs. His brother, MarvinKalb, is still with NBC. Today, Bernard Kalb surprised his formercolleagues in the news media by,quitting over the issue of the admin-istration's disinformation program. Kalb would not confirm thatthere was such a program, but he said he faced a choice of remainingsilent or registering his dissent. And even though the issue appearedto be fading from the news, Kalb grappled with it privately and de-cided he had to act.'The controversy may vaiiish, but when vou are sitting alone, itdoes not go away. And so I've taken the step of stepping down.''rhe State Department has reportedly been involved in thedisinformation issue, but Kalb said his guidelines have always beennot to fie or mislead the press, and he has not done so. Kalb went outof his way today to praise Secretary Shultz, a man, he said, of suchoverwhelming integrity that he allows other people to have their ownintegrity.'In taking this action, I want to emphasize that I am not dis-scriting from Secretary Shultz, a man of credibility, rather I am dis-senting from the reported disinformation program.'Kalb's comments suggested Shultz perhaps did not go alongwith the disinformation program, but in public, the Secretary ofState has defended the administration's policies against Libya, say-ing in New York last week： 'I don't have any problems with the littlepsychological warfare against Quddafi." He also quoted WinstonChurchill as saying, 'In time of war truth i, --o precious, it must@ beattended by a bodyguard of lies.' Shultz was asked about thedisinformation effort last Sunday on ABC.'I don't lie. I've never taken part in any meeting in which it wasproposed that we go out and lie to the news media for some effect.And if somebody did that, he was doing it against policy. Now hav-ing said that, one of the results of our action against Libya, from theintelligence we've received, was quite a period of disorientation onthe part of Quddafi. Sol to the extent we can keep Quddafj off bal-ance by one means or another, including the possibility that wemight make another attack, I think that's good.'In a sometimes emotional session with reporters today, BernardKalb said that neither he personally nor the nation as a whole canstand any policy of disinformation.'@ I'm concerned about the impact of any such program on thecredibility of the United States. Faith, faith in the word of America.,is the pulse beat of our democracy. Anything that liurts America'scredibility hurts America. And then on a much. r,.iuch, much lowerlevel, there's the' question of my own credibility, both as a spokes-man and a journalist, a spokesman for a couple of years, a journalistfor more years than I want to remember. In fact, I sometimes pri-vately thought of myself as a journalist masquerading as a spokes-man. In any case, I do not want my own credibility to be caught up,to be subsumed in this controversy."The timing of Kalb's action today is likely to add to the contro-versy over government deception. And it comes at an awkward mo-ment for the Reagan Administration, just days before an imp rtantpre-summit meeting with the Soviets in Iceland and in the wake ofofficial denials about a downed guerrilla resupply plane inNicaragua. One American was captured and others were killed inthat action, but officials have said the flight was in no way connectedwith the US government. Kalb said his resignation today had noth-ing to do with any other incident. I'm Bill Busenberg in Washington.Section Three： Special ReportTapescriptThe history of Jews in Poland is not always thoroughly told inthat country. And tlte story of the World War 11 freedom fighters inthe Jewish ghetto of Warsaw is one of the saddest chapters. The;Nazis took hundreds of thousands of Jews to their deaths, and seventhousand more died defending the area when the Gdrmans invaded.Dr. Merrick Adelman is one of the very few who survived.A bookcalled Shielding the Flame is his story. It was writtenin Poland tenyears ago by Hannah Kroll. It is now available in this country inEnglish. Yohannes Toshimska is one of the translators. She says thatMerrick Adelman's view of the ghetto uprising is regarded asunconventional."He doesn't use the language, or even he doesn't have the atti-tude people usually have to the holocaust and to theghettouprisings. One thing he's consistently talking about is the fac@t thatpeople thought was the arms in the ghetto. It wasn"t heroic; it waseasier than to die going to the train cars. And that people who parti-cipated in the ghetto uprising were actually, in a sense, lucky. Theyhad arms; they could do something about what was going on whilethose hundreds of thousands who were led to the train cars wereequally heroic, but their death was much more difficult.'"Dr. Adelman was stationed ... he was working in a clinic; hewas not a doctor then; but he was working in a clinicthat was nearbythe train station where the Jews were taken to go off to the concen-tration camps.''Yes. He had an amazing position. He was standing at the gateto the Hmflat Platz, which was the place from where the Jews weretaken into the train cars. He was a member of the underground inthe ghetto, and he was choosing the people who were needed by theunderground. They were perhaps one or two in many thousands ofthem led every day to the cars. And he would pick these people up,and then young girls who were students at the nurses' school woulddisabilitate these people. He describes in the book,it's a very power-ful scene, how these girls, who were wearing beautiful clean whiteuniforms of nurse students, would take two pieces of wood and withthese two pieces of wood would break legs of the people who weresupposed to be saved for the Jewish underground. But the Germans,to the last moment, wanted to maintain the fiction that people whowere taken to the trains were being taken for work. And obviously aperson with a broken leg couldn't work. So breaking a leg wouldtemporarily save that person from being taken into gas."'So he saw in all, I believe he says four hundred thousand peo-ple, go aboard the train.'"'Yes. He stood there from the very beginning of the extermina-tion action to the end.''With regard to what you were saying earlier, there's a dialoguethat develops in the book between an American professor whocomes to visit the doctor many years later, and is critical of whathappened. He says of the Jews, 'You were going like sheep to yourdeaths.' The professor had been in World War 11; he'd landed on aFrench beach, and he said that 'Men should run, men should shoot.You were going like sheep.' And Adelman explains this, and let mequote him. 'It is a horrendous thing when one is going so quietly toone's death. It is infinitely more difficult than to go out shooting. Af-ter all, it is much easier to die firing. For us, it was much easier to diethan it was for someone who first boarded a train car,then rode thetrain, then dug a hole, then undressed naked.' That's difficult to lin-derstand, but then Hannah Kroll says that she understands it be-cause it's easier for people who are watching this to understand,when the people are dying shooting.'' It is something probably easier to comprehend becausethekind of death most of the people from the ghetto encountered is justbeyond comprehension.''Explain the context of the title for Shielding the Flame; it comesup a bit later on. It has to do with the reason that Dr. Adelman be-comes a physician, a cardilogist, after the War, is that he wants thisopportunity to deal with people who are in a life-or-deathsituation.''He says at some point that what he was doing at Hmflat Platzand what he was doing later on as a doctor is like to shield the flamefrom God who wants to blow this little tiny flame andkill theperson, that what he was doing during the War and after the Warwas, in a way, doing God's work or doing something against God,even if the God existed.'"Do you think this book is oing to be accessible to the Westernreader reading it in English? It is a bit free in form and in style. Itlacks a chronology; certain details are not there or are pre-supposedthat one knows.''This book is a little bit like a conversation of two people whoaren't that much aware of the fact that someone else is listening to it.And they don't care about this other person who might be listeningto it. They don't help this person to follow it. I had a hard time evenwhen I read it for the first time in Polish. However, for me, it hasmagnetic power and, despite the confusion, I always wanted to goback and to go on.'Yahannes Tashimska, the translator, along with LawrenceWeshler, of Shiel(iing the Flaiiie by flatiiiah Kroll.。

In order to obtain a licence to drive a taxi in London, candidates have to pass a detailed examination. They have to learn not only the streets, landmarks and hotels, but also the quickest way to get there. This is called “The Knowledge” by London Cab drivers and it can take years of study and practice to get ‘The Knowledge’. Candidates are examined not only on the quickest routes but also on the quickest routes at different times of the day. People who want to pass the examination spend much of their free time driving or even cycling around London, studying maps and learning the huge street directory by heart. Passage 2: The UndergroundTravelling on the London underground (the ‘tube’) presents fewdifficulties for visitors because of the clear colour- coded maps. It is always useful to have plenty of spare change with you because there are oftenlong queues at the larger stations. If you have enough change you can buy your ticket from a machine. You will find signs which list the stations in alphabetical order, with the correct fares, near the machines. There are automatic barriers which are operated by the tickets. You should keep the ticket, because it is checked at the destination.Lesson 2Section ITask1: Film EditingA.True or False Questions.1—4: TFTFB.Fill in the following blanks to give a clear picture of what needs to bedone before a film is ready for distribution.1.

He knew every plant and stone in it, and he could swim across it easily. He was the biggest creature in the pond, so he was very important. When he croaked, the water-snails listened politely. And the water-beetles always swam behind him. He was very happy there.One day, while he was catching flies, a pretty dragon-fly passed by.‘You’re a very fine frog,’ she sang, ‘but why don’t you live in a bigger pondCome to my pond. You’ll find a lot of frogs there. You’ll meet some fine fish, and you’ 11 see the dangerous ducks. And you must see our lovely water-lilies. Life in a large pond is wonderful!’‘Perhaps it is rather dull here,’ thought the foolish frog. So he hopped after the dragon-fly.But he didn’t like the big, deep pond. It was full of strange plants. The water-snails were rude to him, and he was afraid of the ducks. The fishdidn’t like h im, and he was the smallest frog there. He was lonely and unhappy.He sat on a water-lily leaf and croaked sadly to himself, ‘I don’t like it here. I think I’ll go home tomorrow.’But a hungry heron flew down and swallowed him up for supper.Lesson 3Section ITask 1: I Don’t See It That WayA.Conversation 1:1.Choose the best answer for each of the following statements.(1) — (2): ba2.Give brief answers to the following questions.(1)About 6 months ago.(2)It is defective and has ruined 4 of the customer’s favoritecassettes.(3)6 months.(4)10 days ago.3.Blank-filling.(1)bend the rule, make an exception for, make an exception for(2)adding insult to injury, make good on(3)brought it in, hold me to, onB.Conversation 2:1.Multiple choice.

We know that if we sleep well, we feel rested. If we don’t sleep enough, we often feel tired and irritable. It seems there are two purposes of sleep: physical rest and emotional and psychological rest: We need to rest our bodies and our minds. Both are important in order for usto be healthy. Each night we alternate between two kinds of sleep: activesleep and passive sleep. The passive sleep gives our body the rest that’s needed and prepares us for active sleep, in which dreaming occurs.Throughout the night, people alternate between passive and active sleep. The brain rests, then it becomes active, then dreaming occurs. The cycle is repeated: the brain rests, then it becomes active, then dreaming occurs. This cycle is repeated several times throughout the night~. During eight hours of sleep, people dream for a total d one and half hours on the average.Lesson 4Section ITask 1: Weather ForecastA.Multiple Choice. 1 — 2: acB.Fill in the following chart.Task 2: The 5 O’clock NewsA.Fill in the following chart.B.Give brief answers to the following questions based on the news report.1.It was closed down by government authorities.2.Testing confirmed that the town had been poisoned be the dumping oftoxic chemicals in town dumps.3.3 weeks ago.4.200.5.Headaches, stomachaches, faintness and dizziness.6.Toxic wastes had leaked into the ground and contaminated the watersupply.7.All the residents should leave the area, until the chemical companyresponsible for the toxic waste can determine whether the town can be cleaned up and made safe again.C.True of False Questions. 1—6: FTTFFTD.Fill in the following blanks (based on the news report).Teams Playing Result(1) Mexico — France7 to 6(2) Canada — Argentina 3 to 3(3) Italy — Haiti2 to 1(with 30 minutes leftto go)Section IITask 1: What Do You Like for Entertainment?A.Blank-filling.Reporter: Deborah TylerInterviewee: Students of the Brooklyn Academy of Dramatic ArtsMajor: Benny Gross —— pianoKimberley Martins —— modern danceB.Fill in the following chart about how often Benny and Kimberley go to theeight forms of artistic entertainment.C.Rearrange the forms of artistic entertainment that Benny and Kimberleylike, beginning with the form that each one likes best.Benny: (3)—(1)—(4)—(6)—(2)—(8)Kimberley: (2)—(4)—(1)—(7)—(3)—(8)Task 2: Are You a Heavy Smoker?A.True or False Questions. 1—6: TFTTFTB.Multiple Choice. 1—6: cbcbacC.Blank-filling.Name: Doris BradleySex: femaleAge: 32Amount: 3 packets of 20 a weekFirst experience:Time: at the age of 17Place: at a partyOffered by: boyfriend, not husbandFeeling; awfully grown-upLater: started smoking 2 or 3 a day and gradually increased.Experience of giving up smoking: twice1.

It hasn’t changed in thirty years. The pupils were sitting in the same desks and reading the same books. When are schools going to move into the modern worldBooks belong to the past. In our homes radio and television bring us knowledge of the world. We can see and hear the truth for ourselves. If we want entertainment most of us prefer a modern film to a classical novel. In the business world computers store information, so that we no longer need encyclopaedias and dictionaries. But in the schools teachers and pupils still use books. There should be a radio and television set in every classroom, and a library of tapes and records in every school. The children of today will rarely open a book when they leave school. The children of tomorrow won’t need to read and Write at all.M. P.

After two months’ holiday pupils have started a new term. How many adults get such long holidaysTwo to four weeks in the summer and public holidays--that’s all the working man gets. As for the average woman, she’s lucky to get a holiday at all. Children don’t need such long holidays. In term-time they start work later and finish earlier than anyone else.In the holidays most of them get bored, and some get into trouble. What a waste! If their overworked parents were given more free time instead, everyone would be happier.This isn’t just a national problem either--it’s worldwide. Dates may be different from country to country, but the pattern’s the same.

It’s called sign language. The speaker of sign language uses hand gestures in order to communicate. Basic sign language has been used for a long, long time, but sign language wasn’t really developed until about 250 years ago. In the middle of the 1700s a Frenchman named Epée developed sign language. Epée was able to speak and hear, but he worked during m ost of his life as a teacher of deaf people in France. Epée developed a large number of vocabulary words for sign language. Epée taught these words to his deaf students. Epée’s system used mostly picture :image signs. We call them picture image signs because the signs create a picture. For example, the sign for sleep is to put both hands together, and then to place the hands flat against the right side of your face, and then to lower your head slightly tothe right. This action was meant to show the position of sleep. So we call it a picture image sign.Lesson 7Section ITask 1: Learning a Foreign LanguageA.Multiple Choice. 1—4: bcaaB.True or False Questions. 1—4: FTTFC.Give brief answers to the following questions.1.Albert Humphries.2.Balham, London.3.4 years.4.He has been going to an evening class and has watched quite a lot ofthe BBC television programmes.5.They use a different book in the class.6.They make the same mistakes as he does.7.It means being able to put together the right groups of words and tosay them in a reasonably accurate way.Task 2: In the LibraryA.Multiple Choice. 1—6: bbcacaB.True or False Questions. 1—6: TTFTFTC.Give brief answers to the following questions.1.Round the corner.2.A 20p a day fine for each book.3.Tahiti.4.No.D.Blank-filling.1.5 pounds, you damage them, entitles you, 2 records at a time,everything available, be much more popular than.2.telephone to renew the books.3.we get back, worth all the bother, some paperbacks in the airport,I’ve been such a nuisance.Section IITask 1: Lessoned World Colleges。

Listen to this3听力原文Lesson1Freed American hostage, David Jacobsen, appealed today for the release of the remaining captives in Lebanon, saying, "Those guys are in hell and we've got to get them home." Jacobsen made his remarks as he arrived at Wiesbaden, West Germany, accompanied by Anglican Church envoy, Terry Waite, who worked to gain his release. And Waite says his efforts will continue. Jacobsen had a checkup at the air force hospital in Wiesbaden. And hospital director, Colonel Charles Moffitt says he is doing well. "Although Mr. Jacobsen is tired, our initial impression is that he is physically in very good condition. It also seems that he has dealt with the stresses of his captivity extremely well." Although Jacobsen criticized the US government's handling of the hostage situation in a videotape made during his captivity, today he thanked the Reagan Administration and said he was darn proud to be an American. The Reagan Administration had little to say today about the release of Jacobsen or the likelihood that other hostages may be freed. Boarding Air Force One in Las Vegas, the President said, "There's no way to tell right now. We've been working on that. We've had heart-breaking disappointments."Mr. Reagan was in Las Vegas campaigning for Republican candidate, Jim Santini, who is running behind Democrat, Harry Reed.In Mozambique today a new president was chosen to replace Samora Machel who died in a plane crash two weeks ago. NPR's John Madison reports: "The choice of the 130-member Central Committee of the ruling FRELIMO Party was announced on Mozambique radio this evening. He is Joaquim Chissano, Mozambique's Foreign Minister, No. 3 in the Party. Chissano, who is forty-seven, was Prime Minister of the nine-month transitional government that preceded independence from Portugal in 1975. He negotiated the transfer of power with Portugal.This much is clear tonight: an American held in Lebanon for almost a year and a half is free. David Jacobsen is recuperating in a hospital in Wiesbaden, West Germany. Twenty-four hours earlier, Jacobsen was released in Beirut by Islamic Jihad. But this remains a mystery: what precisely led to his freedom? Jacobsen will spend the next several days in the US air force facility in Wiesbaden for a medical examination. Diedre Barber reports.After preliminary medical checkups today, David Jacobsen's doctor saidhe was tired but physically in very good condition. US air force hospital commander, Charles Moffitt, said in a medical briefing this afternoon that Jacobsen had lost little weight and seemed extremely fit. He joked that he would not like to take up Jacobsen's challenge to reporters earlier in the day to a six-mile jog around the airport. Despite his obvious fatigue, Jacobsen spent the afternoon being examined by hospital doctors. He was also seen by a member of the special stress-management team sent from Washington. Colonel Moffitt said that after an initial evaluation it seems as if Jacobsen coped extremely well with the stresses of his captivity. He said there was also no evidence at this point that the fifty-five-year-old hospital director had been tortured or physically abused. Jacobsen seemed very alert, asking detailed questions about the facilities of the Wiesbaden medical complex, according to Moffitt.So far, Jacobsen has refused to answer questions about his five hundred and twenty-four days as a hostage. Speaking briefly to reports after his arrival in Wiesbaden this morning, he said his joy at being free was somewhat diminished by his concern for the other hostages left behind. He thanked the US government and President Ronald Reagan for helping to secure his release. Jacobsen also gave special thanks to Terry Waite, an envoy of the Archbishop of Canterbury, for his help in the negotiation. Waite who accompanied Jacobsen from Beirut to Wiesbaden today, said he might be going to Beirut in several days. There are still sevenAmerican hostages being held in Lebanon by different political groups. Jacobsen will be joined in Wiesbaden tomorrow by his family. Hospital officials said they still do not know how many days Jacobsen will remain for tests and debriefing sessions before returning to the United States with his family. For National Public Radio, this is Diedre Barber, Wiesbaden.Lesson 2Iran's official news agency said today former US National Security Advisor Robert McFarlane and four other Americans were jailed in Tehran for five days recently after they arrived on a secret diplomatic mission. The report quoted the speaker of Iran's parliament as saying President Reagan sent the group to Tehran posing as aircraft crewmen. He said they carried with them a Bible signed by the President and a cake. He said the presents were designed to improve relations between the two countries. Neither the Reagan Administration nor McFarlane had any comment on the report.There were published reports in the Middle East that hostage David Jacobsen was freed as a result of negotiations between the United States and Iran. Asked about that today, Anglican Church envoy Terry Waite said that he didn't want to comment on the political dynamics. But Waite said he may know within the next twenty-four hours from his contacts ifhe will be returning to Beirut to negotiate the release of more hostages.Jacobsen was reunited with his family today, but again said his joy could not be complete until the other hostages are freed. He appeared on the hospital balcony with his family and talked with reporters. Hospital director Colonel Charles Moffitt says Jacobsen needs to communicate with people now. "He likes to talk, whether that be to a group of press or to individual physicians. Once you get him started on a subject, he wants to talk because he hasn't been able to do that." Moffitt says Jacobsen is in good health and will not need followup medical care.A low to moderate turnout is reported across the nation so far on this election day. V oters are choosing members of the one hundredth Congress, thirty-four senators and all four hundred thirty-five members of the US House of Representatives. One of the big questions is which Party will control the Senate after today's voting.President Reagan's former National Security Advisor, Robert McFarlane, and four other Americans may have visited Tehran recently on a secret diplomatic mission. Today, on the seventh anniversary of the seizure of the US embassy in Tehran, Iran Speaker of the Parliament said thevisiting Americans were held for five days before being expelled from the country. NPR was unable to reach Mr. McFarlane today for comment and the White House says that it can neither confirm nor deny the story. NPR's Elizabeth Colton reports.Today in Tehran, Speaker of the Parliament, Hashami Rafsanjani took the occasion to tell a rally that President Reagan had recently sent personal envoys to Iran, calling for improvement of relations. In response to the American overtures, Rafsanjani announced that Iran will advise its friends in Lebanon, in other words the hostage takers, to free US and French hostages if Israel frees Lebanese prisoners, and if the American and French governments end their hostility to the revolutionary government of Iran. Rafsanjani then reportedly described for the tens of thousands outside his parliament, the visit of the five American emissaries. The Iranian said they flew in, posing as the flight crew of a plane bringing American military spare parts to Iran from Europe. The US envoys reportedly carried Irish passports, now said to be held by Iranian officials. And one of the men called himself McFarlane. And according to Rafsanjani, he looked exactly like President Reagan's former National Security Advisor. Rafsanjani claimed that Iranian security officials also have a tape of telephone conversations between the American President and his envoys, The Iranian cleric, Rafsanjani, said the five men were confined to a hotel for five days and later deportedafter Ayatollah Khomeini advised Iranian officials not to meet them or receive their message. Rafsanjani said the Americans had brought a Bible signed by President Reagan and a key-shaped cake which they said was the symbol of the hope of reopening US-Iran relations. In Tehran today, at the ceremony marking the anniversary of the seizure of the American embassy, Parliamentary Speaker Rafsanjani described the visit by the American emissaries as a sign of Washington's helplessness. The White House said it would neither confirm nor deny the reports, because according to the press office, there are certain matters pertaining to efforts to try to release the hostages, and comments might jeopardize them. Robert McFarlane, who was also a frequent political commentator for NPR's morning edition, has been unavailable for comment. I am Elizabeth Colton in Washington.Over the last few years and around the country, the number of fundamentalist religious groups is said to be growing. Some are called "ultra-fundamentalist" groups. The estimates varied greatly. The number could be as high as two thousand. These organizations have different purposes and beliefs, but usually have one thing in common—strong leadership, quite often one person. Four years ago in October at a fundamentalist Christian commune in West Virginia, a young boy diedafter a paddling session that lasted for two hours. The child was spanked by his parents. He had hit another child and refused to say he was sorry. We reported the story of that paddling—the story of the Stonegate Community in November of 1982. Since that time, Stonegate leader has been tried and convicted, one of the first times a leader of a religious group has been held responsible for the actions of a member. Also in that time the parents of the child have served jail terms, and now they have agreed to tell their story.The Stonegate Commune was near Charleston, West Virginia, in the northeast corner of the state. It's mostly farming country. The Stonegate members lived outside of town in an old white Victorian house, overlooking the Shenandoah River, eight young families living and working together. They did some farming, some construction work and for a time ran a restaurant in Charleston. It was their intention to become less of a commune and more of a community, with the families living in separate houses on the property. We went to Stonegate on a Sunday evening in November of 1982. We were reluctantly welcomed. Less than a month before, two Stonegate members had been indicted for involuntary manslaughter. They were the parents of Joseph Green, who was two years old when he died. On this night many of the Stonegate people were defensive, almost angry.That was four years ago. The parents, Stewart and Leslie Green, wereconvicted of involuntary manslaughter and both spent a year in jail. First Stewart, then Leslie. Then in a separate legal action, the leader of the Stonegate commune, Dorothy McLellan was also indicted. McLellan did not take part in the paddling but she was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and conspiracy in the death of Joey Green. Stewart Green, the father, testified against Dorothy McLellan. Green now believes that his son died because of McLellan's teachings and influence. He explained in court that the Stonegate members were taught that a paddling session should continue until the child apologizes. Green also testified that a four-hour spanking of Dorothy McLellan's grandson, Danny, had occurred two weeks before Joey Green's death. He also said the Stonegate members, when Joey died, joined in a pledge of secrecy: the circumstances would be covered up; the death would be called an accident. They were afraid all the Stonegate children would be taken away. Joey's parents at first agreed to this. It was later that they spoke out against what they called then a conspiracy of silence. Both Stewart and Leslie Green grew up and married within the Stonegate community. Leslie was only fifteen when she came to the Stonegate. They lived with several other teenagers in the home of Dorothy and John McLellan. The McLellans had been taking in young people who were having trouble, usually with drugs. They wanted to use their marriage as an example of Christian family life. John McLellan worked for an accounting firm,traveling during the week, Dot McLellan staying at home, taking care of more and more teenagers. The Greens are now living in their first real home together, an apartment in Baltimore. Stewart left the Stonegate, and Leslie joined him as soon as she got out of jail. The Greens have now agreed to talk about their lives at Stonegate and about the paddling of their son.。

esson SixteenSection One: News in BriefTapescript1. President Reagan announced today, that he and Soviet leaderGorbachev will meet in Iceland October I 1 th and 12th to prepare fora summit between the two leaders in the United States later this year.The announcement came after the release yesterday from Moscow ofAmerican reporter Nicholas Daniloff and a court appearance inNew York this morning by accused Soviet spy Gennadi Zakharov,who pleaded no contesti6espionage charges and was. told to leavethe United States within twenty-four hours. Zakharov is now on hisway back to the Soviet Union and Daniloff has arrived back in theUnited States. The movement of Daniloff and Zakharov and plansfor the meeting in Iceland were also announced today in Moscow.The BBC's Peter Ruff reports. 'The announcement makes it clearthat this was at Mr. Gorba hev'@nm iation, and it's,also pointed outc vthat this is simply a preparator eeting to a possible summit. It'spointed out here that it will enable the Soviet Union to focus onarms issues, particularly the Strategic Defense Initiative, or StarWars program, President Reagan's refusal to join a testand a possible arms deal involving medium-rangiEurope. In a separate announcement, the official news agency Tasrevealed that Gennadi Zakharov had, as they put it, been releasedfrom custody and was returning home. It made no mention of thefact that I ie'd pleaded no contest in a court in New York. Then came,the first official confirmation from the Soviet Union that theAmericar reporter Nicholas Daniloff had been expelled, The newsitem did aot refer to him as a spy but as someone who'd been en-gaged in inadmissible activity." BBC correspondent Peter Ruff inMoscow.2. There was the Soviet press today that prominentSoviet disside and his wif@ will be allowed to leave forthe U s by October 7th. Secretary of State Shultz madethat announcement in Washington saying Orlov was the drivingforce behind the Helsinki Monitoring Group of Civil RightsActivists. In 1978, Orlov was sentenced to seven years in a prisoncamp to be followed by five more years in internal exile. Shultz saidOrlov's release was in exchange for that of Zakharov and had noth-ing to do with Daniloff's freedom.Section Two: News in DetailTapescriptIn just eleven days President Reagan and Soviet leaderGorbachev will meet in Iceland for what is described by the two sides*****************************************************was made at the White House this morning at a news conferenceheld by President Reagan and Secretary of State George Shultz cal-led to discuss the Iceland meeting and the negotiations which had ledup to the release of Nicholas Daniloff yesterday. Negotiations forthe release of Daniloff went on for over a month. Today, at the sametime that the White House news conference was going on, SovietForeign Minister Shevardnadze met with the press in New York.NPR's Jim Angle was at the White House, and Mike Shuster waswith the Soviet Foreign Minister.'Jim, since Daniloff was only released yesterday, and the detailsof the negotiations leading up to his release were not known yester-day, didn't this arm uncement of a summit announced before anydiscussion of the D-.tniloff affair come as a surprise?'"What was a surprise is that we did not know it was cois not a surprise if you look at the overall context of preparations fora summit and the discussions so far. Of course, the US had said it would not attend a summit until the Daniloff case wag resolved, and the President said today that he could not have accepted thispre-summit preparatory meeting if Daniloff were still being held. Today the matter was resolved. At least we heard that the other de-tails of the matter's resolution, including the fact that Gennadi Zakharov, the accused Soviet spy, was allowed to plead no conte 'st in a New York court and allowed to leave the Urited States. The reso-lution of that matter cleared the way for summit preparations. The meeting, of course, this pre-summit meeting, was proposed by Secre-tary Gorbachev, in a letter delivered to President Reagan by Soviet Foreign Minister Shevardnadze on September ]9th. The announcement of this meeting todav at the same time as the resolu-tion of Zakharov's status is a way of both sides saying that they con-sider the Daniloff matter resolved with the exception of one or two details and that no obstacles now exist in the preparations for sum-mit later this year in the US.''At the news conference this morning both President Reaganand Secretary of State Shultz stress that there had been no trade for Nicholas Daniloff. Jim, was this a trade?'" Well, clearly, Daniloff's release, Zakharov's quick trial and departure, and the release of the Soviet dissident were all part of one -package. But to the extent that definitions are important, especiallyin the diplomatic world and in terms of principles and precedents,the US has insisted that there was no trade involved here. They say Daniloff was released without a trial, an M iC' acknowledgement,if you will, by the Soviet, that he is not a spy. Kakharov, on the other hand, in pleading no contest to espionage ch4rges, allows, in a sense, the US assertion that he was a s to stand. resident Reagan soujzht today in his rema t W te H se that these wereUers. " There is no connection between these twore eases. I don't know just what you have said so far about this.But there were other arrangement-. with regard to Zakharov that re-sulted in his being freed." Margo, the President's referring there to what the US sees as the only trade involved in this whole package, and that is the Soviet agreement to allow Soviet human rights activist Yuri Orlov and his wife to leave the Soviet Union by October7th."Section Three: Special ReportTapegcript;Today in the Supreme Court of the United States, a case in-volving maternity leave: at issue wh6ther,. states may require employers to guarantee that pregnant workers are able to return to their jobs after a limited period of unpaid disability leave. NPR'sNina Totenberg reports.Nine states already have laws or regulations that require all employers to protect the jobs of workers who are disabled by preg-nancy or childbirth. Depending on what the- Supreme Court rules in the case it heard today, those laws will either die or flourish. The test case is from California. It began with Lillian Garland, the receptionist at California Federal Savings and Loan. In 1982, she re-turned to work after having a child and found she had no job-,-"After working for California Federal for over three and a @iyears, I was told at that time they no longer had apposition available for me. My question was, 'Well, what about the job that I've had foriso many years?' And they said,- 'We hired the person that youi trained in your place.' I was in shock."Officials at California Federal say Garland should not havebeen surprised, that she'd been told at the time she took pregnancy leave that her job was not guaranteed. But the fact is that California law requires all employers in the state to provide up to four months' disability leave for pregnant workers. The leave time is unpaid, andit is only available to women who, because of pregnancy or child--birth, are physically unable to work. The law does require that suchworkers get back the same job unless business necessity makes thatimpossible. So when Lillian Garland was told she couldn't have herold job back, she filed discrimination charges against the bank. Thebank then challenged the California pregnancy disability law incourt, claiming that the state law amounted to illegal sex discrimina-tion. The bank's reasoning went like this: Federal law bans discrimi-nation in employment. based on pregnancy, but the state law man-dates disability leave to women for pregnancy while denying thesame leave time to men who are disabled by other ailments, such asheart attacks and strokes. California counters that the state law doesnot discriminate between men and women, that it treats them boththe same as to,all, ailments, bui-gra@ts@disability leave only to preg-nant workers. Moreover, California argues that the state law in factequalizes the situation between men and women, allowing them bbthh bt he pregnancy disabilityto have children without t_FV j IT)- C/'-case has produced so@triaViZe @Ae s 'Me Reagan Admini-stration is siding with the California business community in arguingthat federal law requires no special treatment for pregnancy. Manyof the major national women's organizations agree, but argue thatthe way to cure the problem is to give everybody unpaid disabilityleave in case of illness. Other women's organizations, particularly inCalifornia, argue that singling out pregnancy for special treatment is6 " > n o t s e x d i s c r i m i n a t i o n .
