Features: This book, VOA News Listening, is dedicated to English learners at the dawn of the new century, hoping to provide a more rapid and effective way to improve listening comprehension of VOA news. It is suitable for English majors and non-English majors in colleges and universities, journalists, foreign-related personnel, as well as students in various English training classes, people preparing to study abroad, and self-learners of English. The book collects 24 VOA news programs, each accompanied by exercises in the form of multiple-choice questions, true-or-false questions, or short-answer questions. Each news item is provided with a glossary of new words. The 24 news items collected in this book were recorded from VOA radio broadcasts in recent years and compiled into written materials based on the recordings. We have numbered all the news exercises sequentially in the upper left corner, such as the first news item of the first article being numbered 1.1, and the eighth news item of the 19th article being numbered 19.8. Each news item is accompanied by at least one exercise in the form of multiple-choice questions, true-or-false questions, short-answer questions, or fill-in-the-blank questions. The numbering in the upper left corner of each exercise corresponds to the numbering of the news and the answers. Each news item is accompanied by a glossary of new words.
