The WTO tried to launch a ninth round in Seattle in 1999. But trade (2) argued and free trade (3) rioted. The WTO launched the ninth round in Doha, Qatar, in November of 2001. The new round was named the Doha Development Agenda. This was meant to show developing countries that the goals included reducing(4) . Two other ministerial (5) took place: in Cancun, Mexico, in 2003 and Hong Kong in 2005. There was little progress toward (6) on major issues. WTO Director General Pascal Lamy of France (7) the negotiations last July. But talks (8) in January. Mister Lamy said he planned to send a strong (9) this week to leaders of the Group of Eight and other nations at meetings in Germany. He said their active support is needed for a successful and (10) outcome. Last month he said the negotiations were (11) but not very fast. Twenty-one issues are listed under the Doha Development agenda. At the heart, though, is agriculture. Developing nations want industrial countries to end farm supports that (12) say drive down prices on world markets. The United States has (13) for as much as an eighty-five percent (14) and an(15) list of banned subsidies. European countries have (16) deep cuts. Last week, the new French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, said France would(17) any agreement that did not meet its (18) EU Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson warns that if the talks (19) now, they would not reopen before 2010. The European Union, the United States, India and Brazil are (20) for talks later this month. These four major WTO members are working for a deal on the Doha round by the end of the year. The World Trade Organization currently has one hundred fifty members. Exercise 2 A new form of treating grief following the death of a loved one has been found to be more successful than (1) psychotherapy in some patients. Two years ago, Heather Chatterjees daughter, Renee, was killed in an (2) accident. Heather Chatterjee: Theres no (3) or any (4) that you can feel that describes the (5) . It becomes (6) pain. Its the (7) and the (8)_.” Ms. Chatterjee suffers from complicated grief, a condition that (9) an (10) _ 10 to 20 percent of bereaved (11) following the loss of a loved one. Complicated grief includes (12) feelings that last six months or longer, according to psychiatrist Katherine Shear of the University of Pittsburgh. Experts say people suffering from complicated grief do not (13) well to (14)_ psychotherapy. So, Dr. Shear and (15) developed a new form of treatment(16)_ to get those with complicated grief to both accept their loss and(17) on their personal life goals. The therapy includes (18) tape recording the patient telling the story of the loved ones death-and having the patient listen to the story daily, to help them lessen the (19) _ of feeling. The patient also tells the loved one things they didnt get to hear in life. In a study comparing the two types of therapy, 51 percent of people with complicated grief were helped compared to 28 percent of people receiving traditional psychotherapy. Dr. Shear was (20) by the results. Among them is Heather Chatterjee, who has come to accept the death of her daughter. Heather Chatterjee: Its something that will be with me for the rest of my life. But its ok. I can go on now. Exercise 3 The man widely (1) as Britains greatest (2) playwright has won this years Nobel prize for literature. The (3) was made by the Nobel (4) secretary Horace Engdahl in Stockholm. Horace Engdahl said: The Nobel prize in literature for 2005 is awarded to the English writer, Harold Pinter, who, in his plays, (5) the precipice (悬崖，绝壁)under everyday prattle （天真的谈话) , and forces entry into oppressions closed rooms. The playwright, who has written more than 30 works, is best known for his sparse style, dubbed Pinteresque, which takes full ( 6 ) - of the ( 7 ) and (8) that build the (9)_effect. Mr. Engdahl says Harold Pinter (10) similarly when the call came through from the Nobel( 11 ) informing him of the award. Mr. Engdahl said: He did not say many words. In fact, he was so surprised by this (12) , but he was very happy. Harold Pinter is best known for his plays, The Birthday Party and The Caretaker.He is widely (13) to have (14) an (15) generation of British writers. Mr. Pinter also has never shied away from (16) political (17) . The human rights (18) _and anti-war (19) has in recent years been an (20) critic of the war in Iraq.Exercise 4 Jobs and work do much more than most of us realize to provide happiness and (1) _ Were all used to thinking that work provides the (2) _things of life-the goods and services that make possible our modern (3) .But we are much less (4) of the extent to which work provides the more (5) _, but more ( 6 ) _, psychological ( 7 ) that can make the difference between a full and an empty life. Historically, work has been (8) with slavery and sin and(9)_. And in our own day we are used to hearing the traditional(10) : I cant wait for my (11) _ I wish I could stay home today, My boss treats me poorly, Ive got too much work to do and not enough time to do it. Against this background, it may well come as a surprise to learn that not only psychologists but other (12) scientists have come to accept the positive (13) of work to the individuals happiness and sense of personal (14) . Work is more than a (15) for most human beings; it is the focus of their lives, the source of their identity and creativity. Rather than a burden, work is the (16) to realize ones potential. Many psychiatrists heading mental health clinics have observed its (17) effect. A good many patients who feel depressed in clinics gain renewed self-confidence when gainfully employed and lose some, if not all, of their most acute (18)_ . And the (19) is true, too. For large numbers of people, the (20) of work is harmful to their health. Retirement often brings many problems surrounding the What do I do with myself? question, even though there may be no (21) cares. Large numbers of people regularly get headaches and other illnesses on weekends when they dont have their jobs to go to, and must fend for (照顾) themselves. It has been observed that unemployment, quite aside from exerting financial pressures, brings enormous psychological troubles and that many individuals deteriorate rapidly when jobless. But why? Why should work be such a significant source of human satisfaction? A good share of the answer rests in the kind of pride that is stimulated by the job, by the activity of accomplishing.I-2单句听写训练1._ A. Albert is at a loss what to say next. B.
