听力原文： An inmate condemned to die by injection next week asked the Indiana Parole Board to grant him clemency or at least enough time to donate his liver to his 'ailing sister.

Johnson, 40, was sentenced to death for the 1985 murder of 82-year-old Ruby Hutslar. Authorities said he broke into her house, beat and stomped on hex, then set a fire. His execution is scheduled for May 25.

Earl Coleman, assistant for the parole board, said Johnson's attorney must still prove such a donation is necessary.

听力原文：W: Bird watching! Now what is it people love about this so much?

M: I think it's the challenge, it keeps your brain going, you feel like a little kid on a treasure hunt. You're poking around the trees, and looking for little hidden birds.

W: The three central characters in your book, the top finishers in the 1998 Big Year competition, were clearly looking for a challenge. Tell us how the Big Year works.

M: Well, the Big Year is a contest with no referees and few rules. The idea is, who can see the most species of birds in North America in one year. So you can see them however you want. You can fly to see them, ride a bike to see them. In one case, they even took a helicopter to see them in the Ruby Mountains of Nevada.

W: And they chase the birds through the canyon, as I recall.

M: They did, up and over peaks, and one guy had a horrible seasickness problem.

W: It is said he just hoped he could hold his breakfast together.

M: And he did, and he got the bird. What a great bonus.
