     President Barack Obama's speeches are proving a best-seller in Japan -- as an aid to learning English.
An English-language textbook, "The Speeches of Barack Obama," has sold more than 400,000 copies
in two months, a big hit in a country where few hit novels sell more than a million copies a year.
Japanese have a love for learning English and many bookstores have a corner especially for dozens of
journals in the language, many of them now featuring(給……以顯要位置) the new U.S. leader's face.
     "Speeches by presidents and presidential candidates(候選人) are excellent as listening tools to learn
English, because their contents are good and their words are easy to catch," said Yuzo Yamamoto of
Asahi Press, which produced the best-selling text book.
     "Obama's is especially so. His speeches are so moving, and he also uses words such as 'yes, we
can,' 'change' and 'hope' that even Japanese people can memorize," he said.
     "Speeches by George W. Bush and former nominee (被提名者) John Kerry's four years ago did not
have the same attraction, however, and nor do those made by Japanese politicians, Yamamoto said.
     The 95-page book features Obama's speeches in English from the 2004 Democratic National
Convention and during the Democratic Party primaries, in which he defeated Hillary Clinton. They are
accompanied by Japanese translations.
     The 1,050 yen ($12) book, which includes a CD of the speeches, tops the bestseller list on bookseller Amazon's Japanese Website.
     "Readers have sent in postcards saying that when they heard the speeches, they were so moved and
ried even though they don't understand English very well," Yamamoto said.
     Following Obama's inauguration ( 就職典禮) on Tuesday, Asahi Press plans to issue a sequel (續集)
that includes his inaugural address, as well as President John F. Kennedy's 1961 inaugural speech. It will
also feature a reading of President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg address of 1863.

1. Why are Obama's speeches chosen as listening materials?

A. They're easy to understand.
B. They're cheap to buy.
C. They're best-sellers.
D. They're official.

2. Which of the following is NOT true about "The Speeches of Barack Obama"?

A. It is published in English with Japanese translations.
B. More than 400,000 copies have been sold in a month.
C. It is sold with a CD of the speeches.
D. It is a best-selling textbook published by Asahi Press.

3. It can be inferred fro the passage that _____.

A. Japanese care little about US presidents' speeches
B. the best-seller includes Obama's inaugural speech
C. speeches by Japanese politicians have the same attraction
D. many readers are benefiting from the best-seller

4. The best title for the passage might be _____.

A. Obama helps Japanese learn English
B. Obama: from promise to power
C. Japanese learn English from Obama's speeches

     Kelly Reeves was getting ready for a trip when her phone slipped into a sink full of water. Panic
moment! She quickly picked up the wet phone and tried to turn it on, but nothing worked. Her first
reaction? She got dressed, drove to the nearest store, and bought a new model at full price.
     A new study finds that fear of losing your phone is a common illness. About 66 percent of those
surveyed suffer from nomophobia or "no mobile phone phobia". Interestingly, more women worry
about losing their phone than men.
     Fortunately, there's a solution.
     The first step is to figure out if you have nomophobia. Checking your phone too often is one
thing,but the true sign of a problem is that you can't conduct business or go about your routine when
the fear becomes so severe.
     Do you go to unusual lengths to make sure you have your phone? That's another sign of a
problem.If you find you check your phone plenty of times per hour, or a total of an hour per day,
there may be a problem.
     Some of the treatments are similar to those for treating anxiety attacks: Leaving the phone behind
and not checking e-mail or text messages, and then learning to tolerate the after anxiety. Even if this
leads to a high level of worry and stress, the solution is to push through the fear and learn to deal
with not having your phone.
     Of course, there are also technological alternatives. Luis Levy, a co-founder at Novy PR, says
he uses an application called Cerberus that can automatically track the location of his phone. To
find it, he can just go to a Web site and see the phone's location.
     He also insures his phone through a service called Asurion. The company's description of its
product reads like a prescription for anxiety: "60 million phones are lost, stolen or damaged each
year. You'll have complete peace of mind knowing that your phone is protected and you can
quickly reconnect with family, friends and work, as soon as the very next day!"

1. Why does the author mention Kelly's experience in the first paragraph?

A. To introduce the topic for discussion.
B. To inform us that mobile phones are useful.
C. To warn us that we should be careful.
D. To tell us we should get phones ready for a trip.

2. The underlined word "nomophobia" in Paragraph 2 means ________.

A. Habits of using mobile phones.
B. Fear of losing mobile phones.
C. Eagerness for new mobile phones.
D. Independence of mobile phones.

3. Which of the following is a way to treat nomophobia?

A. Avoiding using phone for some time
B. Learning more about modern technology.
C. Protecting one's phone against any damage.
D. Not using a mobile phone in one's daily work.

4. Why can the service called Asurion help to treat nomophobia?

A. It lets you know other people also lose their phones.
B. It will give you a new phone through insurance.
C. It enables you to reconnect with your acquaintance.
D. It gives you a prescription to treat nomophobia.

5. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Attitude toward mobile phone.
B. New mobile phone technology.
C. Disadvantages of mobile phone.
D. Solutions to nomophobia

     The rise of multinational corporations (跨國公司), global marketing, new communications
technologies, and shrinking cultural differences have led to an unparalleled increase in global
public relations or PR.
     Surprisingly, since modern PR was largely an American invention, the U.S. leadership in public
relations is being threatened by PR efforts in other countries. Ten years ago, for example, the
world's top five public relations agencies were American-owned. In 1991, only one was. The
British in particular are becoming more sophisticated and creative. A recent survey found that
more than half of all British companies include PR as part of their corporate (公司的) planning
activities, compared to about one-third of U.S. companies. It may not be long before London
replaces New York as the capital of PR.
     Why is America lagging behind in the global PR race? First, Americans as a whole tend to
be fairly provincial and take more of an interest in local affairs. Knowledge of world geography,
for example, has never been strong in this country. Secondly, Americans lag behind their European
and Asian counterparts (相對應的人) in knowing a second language. Less than 5 percent of
Burson-Marshall's U.S. employees know two languages. Ogilvy and Mather has about the
same percentage. Conversely, some European firms have half or more of their employees fluent
in a second language. Finally, people involved in PR abroad tend to keep a closer eye on
international affairs. In the financial PR area, for instance, most Americans read the Wall Street
Journal. Overseas, their counterparts read the Journal as well as the Financial Times of London
and The Economist, publications not often read in this country.
     Perhaps the PR industry might take a lesson from Ted Turner of CNN (Cable News Network).
Turner recently announced that the word "foreign" would no longer be used on CNN news
broadcasts. According to Turner, global communications have made the nations of the world
so interdependent that there is no longer any such thing as foreign.

1. According to the passage, U.S. leadership in public relations is being threatened because _______.

A. an unparalleled increase in the number of public relations companies
B. shrinking cultural differences and new communications technologies
C. the decreasing number of multinational corporations in the U.S.
D. increased efforts of other countries in public relations

2. London could soon replace New York as the center of PR because ________.

A. British companies are more ambitious than U.S. companies
B. British companies place more importance on PR than U.S. companies
C. British companies are heavily involved in planning activities
D. Four of the world's top public relations agencies are British-owned

3. The word "provincial" in Para.3 most probably means"________."

A. limited in outlook
B like people from the provinces
C. rigid in thinking
D interested in world financial affairs

4. We learn from the third paragraph that employees in the American PR industry ________.

A. speak at least one foreign language fluently
B. are ignorant about world geography
C. are not as sophisticated as their European counterparts
D. enjoy reading a great variety of English business publications

5. What lesson might the PR industry take from Ted Turner of CNN?______

A. American PR companies should be more internationally-minded.
B. The American PR industry should develop global communications technologies.
C. People working in PR should be more fluent in foreign languages.
D. People involved in PR should avoid using the word "foreign".
