[15:00.56]Section C NEWS BROADCAST

[15:02.85]In this section, you will hear everything ONCE ONLY.

[15:06.58]Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow.

[15:10.07]Questions 6 to 7 are based on the following news.

[15:14.34]At the end of the news item,

[15:17.29]you will be given 10 seconds to answer each of the two questions.

[15:21.78]Now listen to the news.

[15:24.40]European Union foreign ministers are putting pressure on Turkey

[15:29.11]to recognize Cyprus if Ankara expects to ever join the 25-nation bloc.

[15:34.57]Turkey is to begin negotiations on October 3

[15:37.63]that could eventually lead to EU membership

[15:40.15]for the predominately Muslim nation of 70 million people.

[15:43.98]But Ankara's refusal to recognize the government of Cyprus —

[15:47.91]an EU member — has cast a shadow over the process.

[15:50.65]Further complicating matters are recent referendums

[15:54.15]in France and the Netherlands,

[15:56.01]in which voters rejected an EU constitution,

[15:58.63]partly out of concern about Turkey joining the Union.

[16:01.70]One suggestion is to offer Turkey something less than full EU membership,

[16:06.84]a proposal tacitly backed by Austrian Foreign Minister Ursula Plassnik.

[16:11.87]However, Turkey rejects anything but full EU membership.

[16:15.70]Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul says

[16:18.76]the idea of a so-called privileged partnership with the EU,

[16:22.15]is in his words,

[16:23.46]"illegitimate and immoral."

[16:47.19]Question 8 is based on the following news.

[16:49.49]At the end of the news item,

[16:52.11]you will be given 10 seconds to answer the question.

[16:55.39]Now listen to the news.

[16:57.69]A team of three American high school students has won

[17:01.85]the National Geographic World Championship in Budapest,

[17:05.67]Hungary Thursday. The team from Russia came in second and Canada was third.

[17:10.71]They received their gold medals after a nerve-wracking hour,

[17:14.32]which included burning questions on the capital of Slovakia,

[17:17.48]an egg-laying mammal,

[17:19.89]and questionable election practices in Zimbabwe.

[17:23.50]14-year old Jesse Weinberg from Coral Gables in Florida said

[17:29.19]he could not believe his team managed to win the championship.

[17:32.47]Like his two teammates,

[17:34.22]Jesse wants to start a career in geography, perhaps in politics.

[17:38.59]It is the fifth time the U.S. has won the National Geographic World contest,

[17:43.85]despite a recent survey

[17:45.49]showing that American youngsters know less about geography

[17:49.10]than most of their foreign counterparts.

[18:01.03]Questions 9 and 10 are based on the following news.

[18:05.07]At the end of the news item,

[18:07.70]you will be given 10 seconds to answer each of the two questions.

[18:12.73]Now listen to the news.

[18:15.25]A new form of treating grief following the death of a loved one

[18:19.62]has been found to be more successful than conventional psychotherapy in some patients.

[18:24.32]Complicated grief includes intense feelings that last six months or longer,

[18:29.68]according to psychiatrist Katherine Shear of the University of Pittsburgh.

[18:33.95]Experts say people suffering from complicated grief

[18:37.44]do not respond well to traditional psychotherapy.

[18:40.51]So, Dr. Shear and colleagues developed a new form of treatment

[18:44.23]designed to get those with complicated grief

[18:46.74]to both accept their loss and focus on their personal life goals.

[18:50.68]The therapy includes "revisiting"

[18:52.98]— tape recording the patient telling the story of the loved one's death

[18:57.02]— and having the patient listen to the story daily,

[18:59.87]to help them lessen the intensity of emotion.

[19:03.04]The patient also tells the loved one things they didn't get to hear in life.

[19:08.07]In a study comparing the two types of therapy,

[19:11.25]51 percent of people with complicated grief were helped

[19:15.51]compared to 28 percent of people receiving traditional psychotherapy.
