Eskimos could (9) navigate in Arctic whiteouts*, when fog or snow (10) obscured all landmarks, by following remembered currents of air over the snow and ice.

Part 2 Listening for GistEleven years ago, a US Congressman from the state of Michigan introduced legislation asking Congress to study slavery reparations(賠償款). Since then, the cities of Washington, Detroit, Cleveland, Dallas and now Chicago have called on（請(qǐng)求） Congress to consider such payments. Chicago aldermen（市議會(huì)長(zhǎng)老議員） voted 461 in support of the resolution. Alderman Freddrenna Lyle is the descendant of a slave. She says blacks in the United States are still at a disadvantage（處于不利地位） because of slavery.Today, when I am walk across the street and go down the street and go to (the department store) Sak39。s something I39。re usually OK, aren39。s what I thought at the time. Now I know better! I mean the plane was delayed two hours leaving Heathrow and we were doing a stopover at Moscow. It was Aeroflot*. So we arrived late at Moscow, in the middle of the night, and we all went into the transit lounge（轉(zhuǎn)機(jī)候機(jī)室） and after about two hours this official came in and told us we39。 We’d have to stay the night in the airport hotel ... Simon: But why? Terri: The late departure from Heathrow apparently. Simon: So, what was the hotel like? Terri: Grim* ... more like a prison really. Anyway, the next morning I went down to reception and asked what was happening. Disaster! They39。t a proper Aeroflot one, only valid for the twiceaweek flight, not the daily flight. So I had to sit there and watch all the other passengers go off to catch the next plane to Hong Kong while I was stuck in this terrible hotel. Simon: Well, a good chance to explore Moscow. Terri: No way! I didn39。t let me out. I had to stay there for three days. The pits（條件太惡劣）! No TV, no newspapers, no phone lines and the food was gross. All because I had this cheapo ticket, Simon: I guess you won39。re not wrong!Directions: Listen to the dialogue and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F). 2. T 5. F 8.

Now, there are 55, aisle after aisle crammed with inexpensive, readytoeat versions of chicken, chickpeas（鷹嘴豆） and vegetable balls in sauces and spices. A few blocks away at the Pacific Supermarket, which specializes in Chinese and Thai food, frozen dinners fill two long aisles. Other ethnic groceries, including those offering Mexican food, are enjoying explosive growth in sales of frozen meals to immigrant and secondgeneration customers with less time, inclination or ability to cook the foods of their homeland. Filling the frozen food racks are rapidly growing food panies, many of them local or regional, which find that serving ethnic shops is easier and more profitable than selling to grocery chains. As their profits increase, they are attracting the attention of major corporations. The market for ethnic frozen foods reached US$ billion in 2001, according to the American Frozen Food Institute. The biggest market is for Italian food, totaling US$ billion in 2001, up percent from 2000. The overall frozen food market also grew by percent, totaling US$ billion.
