　　Section B

　　Passage One

　　Carole is a teenage girl. She thinks she is a bit too fat, or rather too strong. But she doesnt know how she became that way. Nowadays, people become interested in losing weight because being overweight can bring about many diseases. Carole has made up her mind to follow others example and plans to lose weight as well. Sometimes she feels so unhappy without knowing why. At these times, she often goes out to restaurants, bars and supermarkets for food. The things she likes to eat include bread, biscuits, and chocolates. Although she feels very full in her stomach, she cant stop eating because of the enjoyment she gets. She is a little worried about her behavior and thinks that she might have an unknown disease or an unhealthy mind. With these questions, Carole went to see a doctor. The doctor doesnt think she has a disease, but suggests that she need self-discipline. People often say eat less and exercise more, but one needs discipline to follow this advice. Since Carole says she enjoys eating although she feels very full, the doctor thinks this might be because Carole wants to forget about finishing work or doing a complicated homework assignment. Her feeling of unhappiness could start from something deeper, such as problems with family members or friends. The doctor says that Carole needs to find something that can bring fun to her life. Perhaps she should give up the habit of eating too much, and do something else instead, such as talking to someone over the phone, playing a video game or drinking extra tea. These methods could help Carole change the habit of eating too much and become healthy again.

　　Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　26. What does Carole normally do when she feels unhappy?

　　27. According to the doctor, which one of the following could be the TRUE reason why Carole eats too much when feeling unhappy?

　　28. Which of the following suggestions is NOT made by the doctor?

　　Passage Two

　　Today when a man steps on to the moon, or something new and important happens, the world learns about it immediately. What did the newspapers say about that first flight in 1903? Strangely enough, they said hardly anything about it at all. There were only a few reports about it in the papers. These reports said very little. Some of the things they said were not even correct. In 1904, the Wrights built a second machine. They called it Flyer No. 2. They invited some reporters to a field near Dayton to watch them fly, Unfortunately, there was some mechanical trouble with the plane and it did not fly at all that day. The reporters went away. They were disappointed and did not come back. The Wrights went on with their work. In 1905, they built an even better machine, Flyer No. 3. They were able to stay up in the air for half an hour and more in this machine. They were able to turn and climb in the air. Farmers, travelers on the roads around Dayton often saw them flying. But when these people told reporters about it, they refused to believe them.

　　The Wrights offered Flyer No. 3 to the United States Government. The Government was not interested. They seemed to think the Wrights wanted money in order to build an airplane. They did not understand the Wrights had already done this, and flown it as well. Experts were still saying that mechanical flight was impossible. At the end of 1905, the two brothers took their plane to pieces. The parts were put into a huge wooden case. It seemed nobody was interested.

　　Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　29. What were the Wrights able to do in Flyer No. 3?

　　30. What did the newspaper say about the first flight in 1903?

　　31. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

　　Passage Three

　　Nothing can buy a better nights sleep. Although it sounds silly, it was the first thing that crossed my mind when I awoke. I truly appreciated my happy rest. It was like a gig from heaven. Interesting to think that Bill Gates, or any rich men you can mention, really couldnt have had a more satisfying and grateful night of sleep--the best that money cant buy.

　　That started me thinking of other pleasures that cost nothing or very little and that are often taken for granted, like a drink of cold water on a hot day when youre really thirsty, or a warm relaxing bath when youre extremely tired or mentally exhausted.

　　Remember your first real kiss-can you put a price tag on that? Or the companionship of a faithful and loving pet or the clean, fresh smell of mountain air? Theres an old song, The Best Things in Life Are Free.

　　Did you ever eat a meal that not only filled your stomach and satisfied all your tastes, but refreshed your soul? Ever spend a winters evening in the company of good friends?

　　What could be better than listening to your favorite music or watching a good movie? Or sharing the beauty of a sunset with a loved one? These are quite delightful and delicate pleasures. I hope this doesnt sound too ridiculous in todays rough, loud world. I hope the new generation can appreciate some of these things.

　　Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　32. What can be inferred from this speech?

　　33. Which one of the following categories does the writer attach great importance to?

　　34. What does the speaker think of todays world?

　　35. Which one of the following could be the most appropriate title of this speech?
