听力原文：
Passage One
Time
____1____ Like most working people, I find time or the lack of it a never-ending frustration and an unwinnable battle. ____2____ This is hardly a lonesome complaint. According to the Families and Work Institute's national study of the changing work force, 55% of the employees say they don't have enough time for themselves, 63% don't have enough time for their spouses or partners, and 67% don't have enough time for their children. It's also not a new complaint. I bet our ancestors returned home from hunting wild animals and gathering nuts, and complained about how little time they had to paint battle scenes on their cave walls. The difference is that the boss of the animal-hunting and the head of nut-gathering probably told them to “Shut up” or “No survival for you”! Today's workers are still demanding control over their time. The difference is: today's bosses are listening. I've been reading a report issued today called When Work Works, produced jointly by three organizations. ____3____I found this report worth reading and suggest every boss should read it for ideas.

Passage Two
“Loving a child is a circular business. The more you give, the more you get, the more you want to give,” Penalapy Leach once said. ____4____ I was born in 1931. As the youngest of six children, I learned to share my parents' love. Raising six children during the difficult times of the Great Depression took its toll on my parents' relationship and resulted in their divorce when I was 18 years old. ____5____Several years later, a wonderful woman came into his life, and they were married. She had two sons, one of them still at home. Under her influence, we became a blended family and a good relationship developed between the two families. She always treated us as if we were her own children. It was because of our other mother, Daddy's second wife, that he became closer to his own children. ____6____ At the time of his death, the question came up of my mother, Daddy's first wife, attending his funeral. I will never forget the unconditional love shown by my stepmother. When I asked her if she would object to mother attending Daddy's funeral, without giving it a second thought, she immediately replied, “Of course not, honey, she is the mother of my children.”
