Section B Passage I Lyndon B. Johnson was the 8th Vice-president of the United States to take the place of a President who died in office, and he was surely one of the most colorful. Johnson came to Washington in 1930 as a congressional secretary, and he spent the next 38 years in the Nation's Capital. Despite all this time away from his native Texas, he never lost the speech or manners of his western, rural home. He told his close friends that his happiest times were when he was vacationing at his ranch in Johnson City, Texas, or walking along a dirty road. Much of his behavior seemed more suited for the ranch than for the more formal atmosphere of a cosmopolitan city. Johnson kept two dogs at the White House, and he loved to play with them. Once when reporters and photographers asked to be allowed to take pictures of the President playing with his pets, Johnson surprised everyone by picking up one of the animals by its ears. People were shocked. The President of the United States was laughing while a 20-pound dog dangled by the tips of its ears. Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard. 11. What was Johnson's job immediately before he became president? 12. When was Johnson's happiest time? 13. What did Johnson do when reporters asked to see him playing with his dog?
Passage II Many people suffer from some form of extreme anxiety. Some experience occasional attacks of panic for no apparent reason. Others go around in state of continual uneasiness. The usual way of controlling anxiety is with drugs, which cure none of the conditions described but do help patients manage their anxiety. Patients who take these drugs say that they are able to work, to sleep, and to go places they had feared to visit. But the effects of the drugs on the human body, especially on the nervous system, have been unknown. We have started a series of studies to identify the effects of the drugs on the brain and have gained some insight into the cost and benefits of the antianxiety drugs. They are valuable because they can reduce the effects of anticipated failure, frustration, an disappointment. But their value demands a price. Two effects of the drugs are obviously harmful. They reduce a person's ability to react to changes in the environment; and more important, they keep a person from developing persistence in the face of unexpected troubles. Since it is fairly sure that people will meet problems they had not expected, this effect may make the price of antianxiety drugs too high. Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard. 14. What is the function of antianxiety drugs? 15. Which of the following is the harmful effect that the drugs have on a person? 16. What is the author's attitude towards antianxiety drugs?
Passage III Every month thousands of tourists visit New York City. Their reasons for choosing New York are many. Some come to see historical places like the Statue of Liberty.

People from other parts of the United States move to New York by the thousands each year. Some come to get better jobs. Others want to attend one of New York by the thousands each year. Some come to get better jobs. Others want to attend one of New York's fine universities. Dancers, actors, and painters are attracted by the city's rich cultural life.

Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard. 17. Which of the following might NOT be an attraction to tourists in New York City? 18. Why do so many Americans move to New York? 19. How many tourists come to New York? 20. When is the rush hour in New York City?
