I thought the American Indians had always been in North America. Q: The American Indians are descendants of which race? 2.M: The program director said that we'd have to postpone the outing until Saturday because of inclement weather. W: It's a shame because all the food has already been ordered and will probably spoil. Q: Why was the outing postponed? 3.W: There was a new quiz show on television last night, but we wer just sitting down to dinner when it came on. M: I watched it and it was great! The first four contestants won only small prizes, but the fifth left with a new luxury car. Q: What happened last night? 4.M: Where have you been all this time? The train is about to leave! W: I'm sorry I'm late, but I was waiting for you at the information desk upstairs. It's lucky I thought to look for you here on the platform. Q: Where did the woman think they were supposed to meet? 5.W: I think we'd better start him an I.V. Also, you'd better have his pressure checked every half hour. M: Right. He may start to hemorrhage too, so we'll make sure there's plenty of plasma nearby. I'll have the R.N. check every thirty minutes. Q: Who and where are they? 6.M: Oh, hello, Judy. How are you? I do hope you're free next Saturday. We're giving a party to celebrate our second wedding anniversary. You will be able to come, won't you? W: Oh, what a pity! I'd love to come, but it's my father's birthday on Saturday, and he'd be terribly disappointed if I should not spend the weekend at home. I'm sorry. Q: Where will the woman go next Saturday? 7.W: Excuse me, sir. Could you tell me the best way to get from here to the Empire State Building? M: Certainly. Let me see, we're on Fifth Avenue now, and the Empire State Building is on Fifth and Thirty-forth Street. If I were you, I'd take the Fifth Avenue bus. Q: Where's the Empire State Building? 8.W: I guess I'll send Mary a postcard from Hawaii when I go there on my vacation. M: I'm sure that she'd be glad to get one. She has a collection of cards from all over the world. Q: What do we learn about Mary? 9.W: Could you tell me how to get to the bus station from here? M: Go straight until you come to the stop light. Turn to the left there and go about three miles. When you get to the Argo Grocery store, turn right and you'll see the bus station on the left. Q: How many turns must the woman make to reach the bus station? 10.M: I'm sorry, Madam. The train is somewhat behind schedule. Take a seat and I'll notify you as soon as we know something definite. W: Thank you. I'll just sit here and read a magazine in the meantime. Q: What can you conclude about the train from the conversation? Section B Passage One Coffee is a universal beverage that is served in different ways around the world. In London, for example, some Englishmen dip mustard into their coffee, while in Denver, a person might add a dash of ketchup. Strips of orange and lemon peel, cloves and cinnamon sticks are no unusual additions to the brew in Europe. An Asian delight consists of coffee brewed in boiling sugar. Perhaps the richest cup of coffee can be enjoyed in Ireland where whiskey and whipped cream are important ingredients. In Australia a waitress will ask," Do you want black or white?" Black is plain black coffee, but white is half coffee and half warm milk. If an Australian orders iced coffee, he will be served a cup of steaming coffee with a scoop of ice cream. It sounds like the Australian version of a "snowball in hell." 11. Which statement best expresses the main idea? 12. What do you think coffee can be in the passage? 13. What could the passage be entitled? Passage Two Presently I got up and dressed, stuck my violin under my jacket, and went out into the streets to try my luck. It was now or never. I must face it now, or pack up and go back home. I wandered about for an hour looking for a likely spot, feeling as though I were about to commit a crime. Then I stopped at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a go. I felt tense and shaky. It was the first time, after all. I drew the violin from my coat like a gun. It was here, in Southampton, with trains rattling overhead that I was about to declare myself. One moment I was part of the hurrying crowds, the next I stood nakedly apart my back to the wall, my hat on the pavement before me, the violin under my chin. The first note I played were loud and raw, like a hoarse declaration of protest, then they settled down and began to run more smoothly and to stay more or less in tune. To my surprise, I was neither arrested nor told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any notice at all. Then an old man, without stopping, surreptitiously tossed a penny into my hat as though to get rid of some guilty evidence. Other pennies followed, slowly but steadily, dropped by shadows who appeared not to see or hear me. It was as though the note of the fiddle touched some subconscious nerve that had to be answered- like baby's cry. When I'd finished the first tune there was a shilling in my hat. It seemed too easy, like a confidence trick. But I was elated now; I felt wherever I went from here this was a trick I could always live by. 14. Why was the man nervous when he left the house? 15. Where did the man stand when he played? 16. What did the man feel when he finished his first tune? Passage Three Welcome to 'Consumer Today', the program aired daily at this time, devoted to the consumers of the Washington Metropolitan area and their problems. Today's consumer complaint letter comes from Mrs. Arnie Smelt of Mac Clean, Virginia, who says: "We've been living near the Dulles International Airport for five years and there has always been the noise problem caused by airplanes taking off and landing. But now that the Super Sonic Transport Jets are allowed to land at Dulles the noise has become intolerable. We would like to sell our house and move to a quieter place, but we can't find a buyer who is willing to pay us anything near what the house is worth. What can we do?" In response to Mrs. Smelt's letter we have contacted the Environmental Protection Agency and they told us that there is nothing they can do about this problem. The Federal Aviation Administration gives us a similar answer. It seems that the United States Congress has final authority in this matter. Therefore we would like to urge each and every one of you listening to our program today to help by writing several letters; a letter to our district representative and a letter to each of your senators. Then, if you are brave enough, writer a letter to the President telling him your opinion about the SST being allowed to use Dulles Airport. 17. Where is Dulles International Airport? 18. Which kind of pollution does Mrs. Smelt complain of? 19. Who was contacted by the 'Consumer Today' employees in response to Mrs. Smelt's complaint? 20. Who has final authority in this problem?
