Section A

Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

M:Welcome to the Book Club.Today's guest is Susan Lane,the author of a new book on personal finances that has already sold half a million copies.Hi,Susan,your book is extremely succesful.Why do you think that is?

W:(1)I think that's because of my message,which is making happiness a priorityover money. So many of us in my generation have spent decades trying to earn more money,just to consume more,but itmade us more miserable.

M:(2-1)You yourself were once caught in that cycle,working for two decades as an executive and earning a high salary,but still accumulating debt.

W:(2-2)I most certainly was.I carned millions,but by the time I quit my job four years ago to become a writer,I owed over $30.000.

M:So how did you escape that pattern?And what would you adviseother people to do?

W:The first change is in what we value.We need to emphasize things that actually make us happy,like relationships,the environment or even our hobbies.(3)Once we make the right things our priority,our goals will change and so will our financial behavior.

M:How does that translate intopractical action?Canyougive our audience examples of what you are talking about on an everyday basis?

W:The major areas for action are usually housing,food and transportation.So people might share a homewith friends instead of living on their own,bring lunch from home insteadofgoingto restaurants,and use public transportinsteadof owning a car.

M:(4)Those sound like major sacrifices.I could never share my home.I need my own space.

W:But they aren't sacrifices.When people change their values,their desires change.So in the example of housing,if we value relationships,sharing a home isn't depriving ourselves of space,but giving us an opportunity to spend more time with our loved ones.

M:Indeed it is.

W:I love how she depicts the barren landscape.The colors complement each other perfectly.

M:You can sense the desolation in the picture.This piece was inspired by Gregory's recent trek in the Gobi Desert.

W:And how did you obtainher other piece,over here?

M:(6) It was purchased at auction by an anonymous collector who lent it to the gallery for display.This composition is one of her most acclaimed paintings.

W:It must have cost that collector a small forune to purchase this.

M:Obviously.I can't disclose the exact amount he paid,but it was substantial.

W:(7)There's so much detail in this painting.I feel like I can really immerse myself in the scene.1 particularly like the symmetry created by the reflection of the mountain in the lake.

M:This particular piecewas the one that was nominated for a Gateway Award.I was lucky enough to attend the awards ceremony as Gregory's guest.

W:So you know herpersonally.I assume she is an eccentric artist.

Section B

Qucstions 9 to l1 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Forgiveness is the release ofresentment or anger.Forgiveness doesn't mean reconciliation.Wedon't have to return to thesame relationship,nor do we have to accept the same harmful bchaviors from an offender.(9)Foroiveness is vitally important for the mental health of certain victims. It propels people forward rather than keeping them emotionally engaged in an injustice or trauma.Carrying the hurt or anger of an offense leads the body to release stress chemicals.Eliminating the perpetual flow of those chemicals may also explain why forgiveness provides physicalhealth benefits.

There are scenarios in which forgiveness is not the best course.Sometimes the victim becomes more empowered when they give themselves permission not to forgive.(10)Forgiveness can be challenging.This is especially true when the offending party offers an insincere apology,or maybe they haven't offered anything at all.However,it's often the healthiest path forward.(11)It's important to cultivate forgivencss by developing compassion for the offender,reflect on whether the act was due to malicious intent,or whether it was caused by challenging circumstances in the offender's life.

What about forgiving ourselves?We sometimes need to take responsibility for mistakes,butintense guilt and shame aren't a desirable outcome inthe longrun.Forgiving yourself may seem like an ambiguousprocess. You can begin by acknowledging that you are at fault,take responsibilityfor the hurt you caused,then reflect on why the event occurred.Draw the lessons you learned and try to avoid commiting a similaroffense in the future.

9.What does the passage say about forgiveness?  

10.When is forgiveness especially challenging?

11.What should one do in order to forgive the offender?

Questions 12 to 15 are based on thepassageyou havejust heard.

The Glasgow subway first opened in 1896 as a cable-hauled system.Itis generally ecognized as the world's third underground railway,after London and Budapest.In its long history,it has never been expanded remaining as a single loop line with a mere 15 stations.At its peak,it erved the shipyard workers on the south side of the city.(12)In the 1960s,there wasa decline in the shipbuilding industry,and the popularity of private transport grew.As a result,the subway saw a rapid decline in ridership.

(13)It ran with little further change until 1977 when its new operators closed it for major modernization investment.Cariages were replaced,ventilation was improved,and the main depot was also renovated and fited with connectingtracks to replace the outdated crane transfer mechanism.The subway in its present form reopened for operation in April 1980.Since its relaunch,the subway has seen a revival in its fortuncs.(14)It serves as a viable alternative to other forms of transport and has gone a long way to alleviate traffic jams in the city  center. In 1996,the system reached an important milestone—100 years.To commemorate this special event,the color schemeof the train carriages was updated.

(15)Recently,high-tech systems such as smart card ticketing machines and smart gates are used across all subway stations.The smart card provides more convenient travel and passengers simply top up their cards and tap them to get in and out the subway.Since its launch,the technologyhas been adopted by more than 100,000 subway customers.

Section C

Questions 16 to 18 are based on the recording you have just heard.

If you visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park,chances are you will remember the roadside or campground bears above all else.Bears are the most popular animals in a number of our national parks.In these mountains,where the population of bears runs into the hundreds,opportunities to observe these large wild animals are plentiful during the summer.(16)Since national parks are wildlife sanctuaries where no disturbance of the native animals is lowed,years of protection have served to break down the wild bears'fear of humans.Now,instead of depending on their own resources for a living,many bears patrol park roads and campgrounds.They give the garbage cans a frequent going over.An ocasional offer of food from a park visitor,an illegal and dangerous practice,makes begars of them.Bears are very often hungry and since they will feed on almost any kind of plant or animal,garbage is quite acceptable

Feeding them,however,represents misguided kindness because the bears come to expect such generosity from everyone and consequently,trouble could lie ahead.(17)Park rules prohibit the feeding of bears.Violators are arrested.Every year,doctors who have ofices near the park treat a number of cases of bear bites and bear scratches.Some of the accidents have come about in strange ways.One man was in the proces of feeding two small cubs,when the mother bear appeared and insisted upon having someof the food.Shoving the big bear aside with one hand,the man continued feding the cubs when sudenly he was struck afierce blowin the face.A bear,prompted by the food that a lady kept offeringto him,entered the car where the generous person was siting.Her efforts to push the bear out of thecar resulted in injuries.A man required medical attention after he applied a lighted cigarete to abear's nose.Another man tried to boost a bear into the front seat of his car so that he might take a picture of a bearsiting beside his wife who was behind the wheel.

Because bears prefer roads and campgrounds,(18)the possibility of a hiker meeting up with a bear along park trails is small,but there's always that chance,for a bear seems to know if you are carrying a lunch or a candy bar.He may even insist on taking it.

16.What does the speaker say about the bears in national parks now?

17.What does the speaker say about visitors feeding bears in national parks?

18.Whatis the speaker's advice to people who carry some food while hiking on a park trail?

Questions 19 to 21 are based on therecording youhavejust heard.

Why do we form opinions or atitudes about someone orsomething without really knowing much about them?Just hearing something good or bad about a person,a place or thing can influence our opinions positively or negatively.But etting the opinions of another person determine what our opinions will e is dangerous.(19)  Forming opinions about someone or something before really knowing them well is called prejudice.“Pre-”means  before and“-judice”refers to judgment.Hence,prejudice means to judge before having adequate knowledge.

We can be prejudiced toward or against someone or something.In either case,we are only allowing ourselves to see half of the picture.Very few people or things in this world are all good or all bad.Prejudiced attitudes are usually based on myths,half truths or incorrect information,(20)and they are dangerous because they can keep us from learning the truth about someone or something.People form prejudices against others for many reasons—differences in their race,religion,gender or occupation.Prejudices keep people apart.They keep us from really knowing and understanding each other.

We should feel proud of who we are and the group ofpeople we represent.(21)If feelings of pride begin to turn to feelings of superiority when we think that our group or our beliefs are better than those around us,however,then we begin to develop prejudiced attitudes that can be harmful. For example,the prejudiced atitudes of one group may keep another group from attending certain schools,from livingin any neighborhood they want,or from getting a job or a promotion.Extreme feelings of prejudice have caused the deaths of innocent people.We are responsible for our own thoughts and opinions.Whenwe le someone else tell us what to think about someone or something,we are giving up some control ofourown lives.

Beforeyou form an attitudeor opinion,find out for yourself about the person or the thing inquestion. Sometimes we don't realize thatwe hold prejudiced attitudes toward or against someone or something.We need to carefully examine our lives and our fears,and to ask ourselves whether our attitudes come from our persona knowledge andexperience or from rumors and fear of the unknown.The goodnews about prejudice is that we are not born with it.Prejudiced attitudesand opinions developover time.But with education and knowledge,we can replace our prejudices with cooperation and understanding.

19.What does the speaker say about prejudice? 

20.Why does the speaker say prejudiced attitudes are dangerous?

21.When does the speaker say we begin to develop prejudiced attitudes?

(22)When I started high school,it was a shock.I had spent eight years fighting my way to be the mos popular kid in the Catholic school student body.I hadbeen a big,tough8th grader andsuddenly I was a lonely 9th grader bullied bythebig,tough 12th grade seniors who ranthehighschool.I realized thenthat it'snice to strive for something,but that you also have to enjoy the moment you're in and be happy where you are.Rock and roll had always been an importantpart of my life.I remember my friends and Iused todrive around unti the late hours of the nights listening to the musicof Rock and Roll Legends.(23)During those teenage years,I built friendships that I thought would last a lifetime.Most people that age think the same thing,but peopls drift apart.Jobs,families and tragedies separate people from those lasting friendships.
