听力文本：
A lawyer friend of mine, Patricia, has devoted herself to the service of humanity. Her special area is called "public interest law".

Many other lawyers represent only clients who can pay high fees. They have had expensive and highly specialized training, and they work long, difficult hours for the money they earn. But what happens to the people who need legal help and cannot afford to pay these lawyers' fees? It is unfair if these people cannot get the legal help they need.

Public interest lawyers, who also have had expensive and highly specialized training, fill this need. Patricia, like other public interest lawyers, earns a salary much below what some lawyers can earn. Because she is willing to take less money, her clients have the help they need, even if they can pay nothing at all.

Some clients need legal help because stores have cheated them with faulty goods. Others are in unsafe apartments, or are threatened to be driven out of their homes and have no place to go. Their cases are all called "civil" cases. Still others are accused of criminal acts, and seek those public interest lawyers who handle "criminal" cases.

A few years ago, my friend and I were walking 16)   at   noon on a street near my home in a northern 17)   section   of Teheran. This area is well-known because it is a beautiful avenue that 18)   connects   two major traffic circles. It is located 19)   at the bottom of   a high mountain.

That day, the sun was 20)   shining  , but the weather suddenly changed. 21)   As   we were walking between the two circles, it started raining very hard. We started to 22)   cross   the boulevard to get to the second circle. It was raining so hard that we decided to go inside a restaurant instead. Ten minutes later, as we were looking out the window, we saw everyone was 23)   running away from   something. At first, we did not know what was going on. We went outside the restaurant to see what was happening. People seemed shocked.

A huge flood was 24)   streaming down   the mountain. We were standing on a higher place, so we could see everything. We were scared. Cars, rocks, and people were floating on the water like little toys toward the little market at the south end of the circle. The height of the water was almost to the top of the trees.

After a few minutes, the flood's flow was reduced, so we decided to leave the area before the water entered the street we were on.

It was reported that the flood 25)   destroyed   a big area and approximately 300 people were killed or disappeared that day. Later, we also learned that a dam had burst during the rain.

听力文本：
Among the most common types of career advice that people toss around are tips for job hunting. But be careful who you take advice from, because the workplace is changing very fast right now. As the new generation makes its voice heard at work, a lot of the old rules no longer apply. Here are two job-hunting rules that will hold you back if you're not careful:

Bad Rule No. 1: Draw a clear picture of yourself. A résumé is not supposed to give the story of your life; it's a marketing document. So the goal is not to tell every single thing about yourself, but rather to get an interview. And the best way to land an interview is to make the employer want to find out more about you.

Bad Rule No. 2: Don't be too narrow. If you're not narrow, then what are you selling? Think about cars. Is a BMW the car that meets every need for every person? Is a Saturn the car for high-end and low-end markets? You're no different from a car. You can't be everything to everyone.
