Section B Passage I Dangerous occupations tend to be exciting and well paid. They often involve foreign travel or meeting famous and interesting people. Here is a look at someone who likes his dangerous occupation in spite of the danger, and at why he does it. Gilbert Michael Pitts is a freelance cameraman. He does a lot of his work underwater Michael has been diving since he was about nine years old. He says that he was on holiday with his parents and a friend had a snorkel. He tried it and "that was it -- ever since I first put my head under water I've been fascinated by divining." Later on he went on a four month commercial diving course. His commercial diving career included underwater photography -- still and video (to inspect oil rigs), underwater burning, planting explosives and connecting pipelines. "I'm not frightened or apprehensive," he says, "because it's a medium I've been working in for such a long time. It's something that I love. I am frightened of certain things, but they certainly don't include diving in water. I think it's a matter of experience and just being at ease in that environment."

Passage II Phone books have white, blue and yellow pages. The white pages list people with phones by last name. The blue pages contain numbers of city services, government services, and public schools. Business and professional services are listed in special classified directory -- the Yellow Pages. The area covered by one area code may be small or large. For example, New York City has one area code, but so does the whole state of Oregon. There is an area code map of the U.S. and Canada in the front of the white pages. Pay phones have numbers in the U.S. This means you can arrange to call a friend at a phone booth. Or if you are making a long distance call and run out of money, give the number on your phone to the person you're talking to. Then hang up the receiver and they can call you back. If you make a long-distance call and get a wrong number, call the operator and explain what happened. This means that you can make the call again to the right number without having to pay more money; or you can have the phone company mail you a credit coupon that has the same value as the phone call. Questions 15 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard. 15. What kind of phone numbers are listed in the blue pages? 16. What is the advantage for pay phones to have numbers? 17. Why should you let the operator know if you get a wrong number?
Passage III An advertisement says "Learn English in six weeks, or your money back". Of course, it never happens quite like that. As we know, no language is easy to learn except one's mother tongue. And think how much practice that gets. Before the Second World War people usually learn English in order to read English literature. Now most people want to speak English. Every year many millions of people start to learn English. How do they do it? Some people try at home, with books and tapes, some use radio or television programmes, others go to school or attend evening classes. If they use English only two or three times a week, it will take a long time to learn it, like English learning at school. A few people try to learn English fast and study six or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn English, Canada, Australia or the United States. However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary. They need English in order to do their work better. For example, most scientists and engineers chiefly need to be able to read books and reports in English. Whether English is learnt quickly or slowly, it is hard work. Good teachers, books and machines will help, but they cannot do the students' work for him. Questions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard. 18. What does an advertisement say about English learning? 19. Why did most people learn English before World War II? 20. Which of the following is NOT true?
