     This is a song millions of Americans will hear this New Year"s Eve. It is called Auld Lang Syne(《友谊
地久天长》). It is the traditional music played during the New Year"s celebration. Auld Lang Syne is an
old Scottish poem (诗). It tells about the need to remember old friends.
     The words "auld lang syne" mean "old long since". No one knows who wrote the poem first. However,
a version (版本) by Scottish poet Robert Bums was published (出版) in 1796. The words and music we
know today first appeared in a songbook three years later.
     The song is played in the United States mainly on New Year"s Eve. The version you are hearing today
is by the Washington Saxophone Quartet. As we end our program with Auld Lang Syne, I would like to
wish all our radio friends a very Happy New Year! This is Buddy Thomas.

阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容选择最佳答案。Editor: Today our topic is part-time jobs. Are they good for school children or
not?
Headmaster: Certainly not. Children have got two full-time jobs already:
growing up and going to school. Part-time jobs make them so tired that they fall
asleep in class.
Mrs. Barrens: I agree with you. I know school hours are short, and there"s
homework too, so children need a lot of sleep.
Mr. Barrens: Some students stay at school until they"re eighteen of nineteen. A
part-time job can"t harm them. In fact, it"s good for. They earn their
pocket-money instead of asking their parents for it. And they see something of the
world outside school.
Businessman: You"re quite right. Boys learn a lot from part-time jobs. And we
mustn"t forget that some families need the extra money. If the students don"t take
part-time jobs, they can’t stay at school.
Editor: Well, we have got two for and two against. What do our readers think?1. How many people join the discussion?A. Five

C. Three

       Crew saved in dramtic rescue
       By Gorden Lee
       Air-sea rescue units from Shunde, Guangdong Province, and Hong Kong saved the lives of 23
seamen in the South China Sea yesterday.
       The container ship, the "Krameria", registered in Panama, was on its way to Hong Kong from
Singapore when it sent out a distress(求救)call at 1: 30 p.m. The ship reported that it was sinking
after it had a serious damage when hit by Typhon Jasmine earlier in the morning.
       Working together, two helicopters from Shunde and an aeroplane from Hong Kong were sent to
the ship, located about four hundred and fifty kilometres south-west of Hong Kong. The helicopters
winched(用绞盘拉)the crew to safety, while the aeroplane provided air refueling support.
       The rescue of the crew took over one hour, as the hard work was interrupted by strong winds
and high seas. Five crew members were injured. All crew members were taken to hospital in Shunde
for treatment, but only one stayed overnight.
       Yesterday"s rescue was the second joint mission involving air-sea rescue units from Shunde and
Hong Kong this year. Last May, the units successfully found a missing fishing boat.
       The "Krameria" reported that a water pipe had burst in the engine room. Early reports around
noon suggested that the crew had the flooding under control, but later the captain radioed that the ship
was filling with water. The rough seas made it impossible for lifeboats to be used.
       The Director of Joinst Missions, Ma Jinshan, was delighted with the success of the rescue. "It was
a major rescue in very dangerous conditions. We are pleased that it went so well."
       The "Krameria" is believed to have sunk shortly after the rescue. Yesterday evening, ships in the
area reported seeing containers floating on the water.
       Read and put the events in the order they happened.
A. The crew were winched to safety.
B. The reporter wrote the newspaper article.
C. The captain reported that the flooding was under control.
D. The reporter interviewed Ma Jinshan.
E. The crew members were taken to hospital.
F. The missing fishing boat was found.
G. The helicopters left Shunde.
