　　North Korea has named Ri Yong Ho its new foreign minister, according to a diplomatic letter sent to Britain.

　　North Korea"s embassy in London informed the British government about the appointment.

　　The diplomatic letter did not say what would happen to the current foreign minister, Ri Su Yong. But South Korea"s spy agency said it believes he was named vice chairman for international affairs of the ruling Workers" Party.

　　Ri Yong Ho is a career diplomat. The former vice foreign minister served as North Korea"s top negotiator in past nuclear disarmament talks with United States and South Korean representatives. He once served as ambassador to Britain.

　　Some *ysts say Ri"s appointment may be an attempt by the isolated nation to re-start diplomacy with other countries.

　　International tensions increased this year when North Korea carried out a nuclear test in January and launched a long-range rocket a month later.

　　The United Nations Security Council ordered strict sanctions on North Korea for carrying out those tests. The U.N. has also condemned the country"s human rights record.

　　Observers say the North Korean government may ask Ri to plead his country"s case to the U.N.

　　Lee Ji-sue is a North Korean expert at Myongji University in South Korea. He says no major policy changes are expected under the new foreign minister.

　　Lee noted that the former foreign minister took orders from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, and his predecessor and father, Kim Jong Il. "Ri Yong Ho won"t have much say in foreign policies," Lee said.

　　An art project in Turkey is bringing together people divided along ethnic and religious lines.

　　Twenty-four Kurdish and Turkish young *s have worked together to create documentaries and photographs about life in Turkish cities.

　　The results are now on display in the southern Turkish city of Diyarbakir. The art project is called BAK.

　　Latife Ulucinar is the coordinator.

　　"People, especially young people, living in different parts of Turkey don"t know each other," she said. "Face-to-face [meeting] is important. We want to give some possibilities to these young people to experience the city."

　　One photo project focused on a Roma family. (Photo courtesy of the BAK project)

　　The project members chose the following issues: The 1923 population exchange between Greece and Turkey; Roma people; and the tattoo culture.

　　Many works also featured the Kurds" years-long battle for minority rights.

　　"Zilan," a video documentary, recalls a massacre of thousands of Kurds and the exile of many more by the Turkish state in the 1930s.

　　"I found out that many killed were relatives of mine. The affected villages were very familiar," said co-director Derya Gumus.

　　"I met people who survived. [They were] the last witnesses. Even though I live there, I learned it very late as well, so I wanted to tell this."

　　Gumus admits that working with a partner from a different background was not always easy. Her partner was originally from the Black Sea region, but now studies in the western city of Izmir, which is one of the main hubs for refugees seeking to enter Europe.

　　That experience, Gumus says, helped to provide common ground.

　　Overcoming ethnic divides between partners became harder when fighting between the PKK Kurdish rebel group and the Turkish government resumed last July.

　　Diyarbakir, one of the BAK host cities, witnessed some of the worst fighting. The conflict affected some projects.

　　For example, "The Resort of the East: Hazar" aimed to show an aspect of Kurdish life rarely seen: normality. Photographer Murat Kartal said he and his partner wanted to show the holiday habits of the region. But, he said, the growing violence caused problems.

　　"I saw that our efforts could be in vain," he said. "The clashes started and I questioned this, ‘What am I doing here?" When we finish this project and exhibit these photographs, we see the preciousness of peace."

　　Many observers warn that the deepening ethnic conflict, especially among the young, presents Turkey with one of its greatest challenges.

　　But those who participated in BAK say they took a small step in bridging that ethnic divide.

　　Hundreds of Christians gathered recently in front of the United States Capitol building on a cold and rainy day.

　　They began a public reading of their holy book, the Bible.

　　They kept reading for 90 hours.

　　The event is called the U.S. Capitol Bible Reading Marathon. It marks the National Day of Prayer and has been taking place for 27 years.

　　Pastor Jeffrey Light of NOVUM Baptist Church in Reva, Virginia spoke to VOA about the event. He said its goal is to show the importance of religion in American life.

　　"It"s foundational for who we are as human beings to know our purpose, and our purpose comes from our creator," Light said.

　　Few know the part of religion in America better than Alan Cooperman. He leads study of the subject for the Washington-based Pew Research Center.

　　The center did two major studies on religion in the U.S. in 2007 and 2014. The research found that the American public is growing less religious.

　　"The percentage of Americans who say they believe in God has dropped a little," Cooperman told VOA. He explained that the percentage of Americans who say they pray daily has dropped, along with the percentage who say they go to religious services at least once a month.

　　Cooperman said the share of Americans who do not identify with any religion has been rising very quickly.

　　In his words, "It"s gone from 7 percent in 2000, 16 percent in 2007, to 23 percent overall today."

　　Cooperman believes the drop in religious involvement reflects a generational change. Young Americans are growing into adulthood with looser ties to religion. The children of today are also less involved in religious activities than the children of past generations.

　　Religion and politics

　　But lawmakers and government officials are more likely to be religious than the general public. Organized faith appears to still play an important part in U.S. politics.

　　More than 90 percent of the United States Congress is Christian compared to 70 percent of the general public. At a recent Senate discussion, members of Congress talked about how they balance faith and politics.

　　Senator James Lankford is a Republican from Oklahoma. He told VOA that faith is "the lens" he looks through.

　　He added, "If it"s a faith, it affects everything."

　　Many religions are represented in Congress. Along with Christian legislators are Muslims, Hindus and Jews. There are also some atheist lawmakers.

　　‘Overwhelmingly religious"

　　For Cooperman, even the increasing number non-religious Americans may not be enough to change the role of faith in American life and politics.

　　"...the American public remains overwhelmingly religious," he said. In his words, "It"s a very religious country. Three quarters of Americans, about 77 percent of the population, still identify with a religious group."

　　Pastor Jeffrey Light agrees. He said the role of religion will continue to play an important part in this year"s presidential election.

　　"For me and those that are seekers of the word of God," he said, "we will certainly seek a leader who honors God."

——英語四級聽力練習

英語四級聽力練習1

　　聽力題目：

　　11.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

　　A. They are both anxious to try Italian food.

　　B. They are likely to have dinner together.

　　C. The man will treat the woman to dinner tonight.

　　D. The woman refused to have dinner with the man.

　　12. Q: What do we learn about the house from the conversation?

　　A. It"s only for rent,not for sale.

　　B. It"s not as good as advertised.

　　C. It"s being redecorated.

　　D. It"s no longer available.

　　錄音原文：

　　11.M: Mary, would you join me for dinner tonight?

　　W: You treated me last weekend. Now it"s my turn. Shall we try something Italian?

　　12. W: Good afternoon. I"m calling to inquire about the four-bedroom house you advertised in the newspaper.

　　M:I"m sorry, but it"s already sold.

　　答案解析：

　　11. B 男士要求女士跟他一起吃晚飯，女士說“上周末你請了我，這次輪到我請你了”，說明這次女士要請男士吃飯，故B正確而D錯誤。女士說“我們嘗嘗意大利食品好嗎?”這只是一個提議，并不是A所說的那樣anxious。C將請客的人物顛倒了。

　　12. D 女士詢問廣告中的house的情況，男士說“sorry”,就應該預感到不妙，而關鍵是要抓住but后面的信息：“它(這套房子)已經售出”即D項“買不到了”。要想答對此題，不僅要聽懂男士的話，而且要讀懂選項：A項中的for rent意為“供租用”，for sale 意為“待售”;B有比較含義，對話中沒有比較;C“在重新裝修”，與原文信息無關。

——英語四級作文寫作練習步驟

英語四級作文寫作練習步驟1

　　NO.1 寫作

　　寫作寫作，第一步首先是寫!可以拿考題多加練習。

　　NO.2 仔細對比

　　第二個就是仔細對比，寫完后對照范文從三個方面去研究：第一個是內容，也就是構思和原文有何區別;第二個是語言，也就是用詞、用句和原文有何區別;第三個是結構，就是你的行文思路和原文有什么區別。這是第二個步驟，寫作的區別其實就是寫作的弱點。

　　NO.3 背誦

　　第三步驟就是背誦：也就是可以去背誦一些范文。有的"同學說了，范文我背過了，但是寫作的時候還是不會寫。有兩個原因，第一個原因是你背得不熟，背得結結巴巴，還不如不背;第二個原因是沒有練過，只是死記硬背。所以為什么背了還不會用，有兩個原因，第一背不熟，第二沒有練過。背到什么程度，我們講，有12個字“滾瓜爛熟、脫口而出、多多益善”。要背到不需要去想，不需要去動腦子!如果背一篇文章還需要去想，那就證明還背得不熟。大家上考場，如果能想起*時的70%，那已經是相當不錯了。所以一定要背熟，這就是第三個步驟。

　　NO.4 默寫

　　第四個步驟就是默寫：背熟后把書合上，把這篇文章默寫下來。默寫后，做一個工作：仔細對比原文發現寫作弱點，你會發現你默寫的文章和原文會有一些出入。包括拼寫、語法、標點，這種錯誤就是你寫作的弱點，把這些錯誤用紅筆標出來。大家為什么寫作拿不到高分，根源只有一個——錯誤太多。很多錯誤自己都不知道。

　　NO.5 仿寫

　　第五個步驟就是仿寫：什么叫仿寫?就是模仿你背過的文章再寫出一篇新文章。在背完一篇文章后，要想想這篇文章有什么精彩的詞組、詞匯和句型可以使用。然后換一個話題，把這篇作文用一下，用里面詞匯、詞組和句型去構思另一篇文章。

英語四級的簡短對話聽力1

　　11.Q: Who did the man buy the books for?

　　A. His father.

　　B. His mother.

　　C. His brother.

　　D. His siser.

　　12.Q: What are they talking about?

　　A. A job opportunity.

　　B. A position as general manager.

　　C. A big travel agency.

　　D. An inexperienced salesman.

　　錄音原文：

　　11.W: I suppose you"ve bought some gifts for your family.

　　M: Well, I"ve bought a shirt for my father and two books for my sister, but I haven"t decided what to buy for my mother, probably some jewels.

　　12.W: Look! It says they want a junior sales manager, and it seems like it"s a big company. That"ll be good, for you might have to travel a lot.

　　M: Do they say anything about experience?

　　答案解析：

　　11.D 此題關鍵是信息對應，在聽錄音的同時做記錄(shirt-father,books-sister, probably jewels for mother),然后仔細聽問題“books買給誰”。

　　12.A 關鍵是要抓住核心詞：銷售經理(sales manager)，大公司(big company),經常出差(travel a lot)和工作經驗(experience)。招聘職位是銷售經理，而不是B(總經理的.職位)，也不是D(毫無經驗的推銷員)，對話中的travel是指出差，而非旅行，故與C(旅行社)無關。本題符合短對話的常用解題原則之一：聽到什么不選什么，因為很多干擾項都是以讀者像是作為出發點的。
