29、领土完整、互不侵犯、互不干涉内政、平等互利、和平共处”五项原则。我们的国家有 100多年被侵略、被压迫的苦难经历，中国人民决不愿再回到过去的屈辱地位，也决不会把任何其他民族置于我们过去那样的屈辱地位。中华人民共和国的成立，既消灭了我国屈从外国侵略的社会根源，也消灭了我国对外侵略的社会根源。恩格斯说过，“任何民族当它还在压迫别的民族时，不能成为自由的民族。”这是颠扑不破的真理。我们马克思列宁主义者相信共产主义最后一定会在全世界实现，但是革命决不能输出，它只能是各国人民自己选择的结果。正是基于这样的认识，我们始终坚持和平共处的五项原则。我们没有在任何外国留驻一兵一卒，没有侵占任何外国一寸领土，没有

36、Symbolic nature）解析：听力原文1-10Press conference is an all too familiar phenomenon around us. However, when people start thinking a- bout its advantages, it sometimes seems difficult to think of any that the press conference provides for the competent news reporter. Use of the press conference by public

37、officials and private entrepreneurs helped give rise to the phrase “pseudo event“-an event contrived to create news coverage where none had been considered warranted.However, having said that, one value of the news conference by a public official is the symbolic nature of the event, and perhaps this

38、 is reason enough to continue the practice. At a press conference a public official supposedly submits to examination by responding to unsolicited and perhaps hostile questions.A related advantage to the reporter is that the press conference affords an opportunity to get a public official “on the re

39、cord“ with regard to government policies. Statements from a press conference can serve as criteria against which subsequent statements and policies are measured. In that regard press conference information may be used as reference points more so than comments reported by a single news medium. Also,

40、when there is a single issue or topic to address, such as a new government programme, an earthquake, or the nomination of a new government minister, the press conference offers benefits of efficiency in that officials can speak to a number of reporters at once on an issue of public concern and inter

41、est. The press conference may be at its best in this almost one-way format.Now, lees move on to the disadvantages. Are there any serious ones? Generally speaking, the press conference format, as it stands, makes it difficult for the reporter to get worthwhile information. At a press conference, part

42、icularly a large one, the well-prepared reporter may never get to ask a question and certainly is unlikely to have a chance to ask a follow-up question.Another disadvantage in a press conference comes from the news source, that is the news provider. The news source generally decides who asks the que

43、stions, determines the length of the answers, and can avoid any follow-up questions and rephrase tough questions to his or her liking, and sets the time, place, and duration of the interview. Press conferences televised live for the news audience sometimes only highlight the disadvantages for the ne

44、ws reporter, since there is little or no time to challenge, clarify, or place in context material provided by the news source.Despite these disadvantages and others inherent in how reporters gather information, the news reporter can help assure that worthwhile information from a news source is share

45、d with the news audience. One way to reduce the likelihood of errors is to use multiple forms of interviewing-by telephone, in person, and at press conferences-as well as multiple sources. Common to the success of these approaches, however, are such interrelated ingredients as the preparation of the

46、 news reporter, the competence of the news source, and the nature of the questions asked.Lets look at the preparation first. The nature of much of news coverage requires reporters to be well read on contemporary events. Like other professionals and craftsmen, the reporter must keep up to date on jou

47、rnalistic subject matter, that is the human condition. Although this subject is broad, it offers the advantage that there is little a reporter can read or witness that will not help in covering the news at one time or another.Next, being prepared for an interview includes giving some thought to the competence of the news source. The relationships between news reporters and news sources would benefit the news audience more if reporters woul
