Section B passage I Many Americans are moving to big cities. At the same time, many Americans are leaving the cities and looking for the "good life" in the country. Although they think they know what they want, they don't always find it. Unless you know something about small-town life, you may be in for some big surprise. There are not so many job opportunities there. People are not always happy about having newcomers move in. They like to keep things the way they are. And although there is usually a movie theater and a couple of restaurants, there isn't a lot to do at night. But if you're looking for a more relaxed way of life, if you want to save money, and if you can make your own good times, small-town life may be for you. Before you decide whether or not to leave the city, spend a couple of weeks in a village. Look around and talk to people. Think what it would be like to live there fifty two weeks a year. And then, if you're sure, you can make the big move. Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard. 11. Why are many Americans leaving cities for the country? 12. Which is Not true about small-town life? 13. What should one do before making the big move?
passage II The estimated one-fifth of children in London's schools who cannot read simple sentences by the age of eight should be given special help. This is the main conclusion of an independent report on London's 700 primary schools. The report, which is the result of a year's work, tells London's primary schools that they must demand more of their children. Most parents were happy with the schools, but some said that their children's pace of learning might be too slow. The report confirmed this by stating that much of the new work must have been taught at the same level of difficulty as the old. The report emphasized that children should not be tortured but more should have been expected of them in schools. This would mean that some children might have achieved much more than the limited demands made on them by comprehension exercises or copying out from textbooks. Mrs. Morrel, who commissioned the report, said that all London's schools must put into effect a framework of reform. Every child ought to be able to read by the age of eight. Other reforms mentioned in the report were that parents should be better represented on school governing committees and that each school ought to draw up a development plan, listing what improvements it can make. Parents should also be represented on the education committee. Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard. 14. What should primary schools do according to the report? 15. What should eight-year-old children be able to do? 16. What did Mrs. Morrel do?
Passage III During the past decade, there has been a multifold increase in violent crimes throughout the world. Not only has there been a frightening increase of murders and rapes, but chances of being attacked and robbed have grown so that the elderly avoid leaving heir apartments. The exact cause of this horrifying development has not been found. Some sociologists fell that the growth of crime on TV is related with the growth of violence on our streets. Others blame the constant threat of complete destruction from nuclear explosives. If the world is going to be blown up, why not enjoy yourself fully! Regardless of the cause or causes, a fundamental change in attitude among people is easy to see. Years back, the old saying "Practice what you preach" was a prevalent one. People had moral standards that they could follow: people were concerned about their fellow human beings. Today, people have become "I-centered." They are more interested in achieving immediate, selfish pleasures. The best advice they can give in the rare instances when they do is "Do what I say, not what I do." They are saying, "There are moral principles to follow if you want to, but don't use me as a guide since I no longer follow them." The major difference that I see in the quotations points out the tragic change in our morality and social ways. Until people once more learn to replace "I" with "we", we shall continue to move toward destructive self-centeredness. Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard. 17. What has increased greatly in the past decade? 18. What is the cause or causes for this frightening development? 19. What changes have taken place in people's morality? 20. Which of the following is most suitable to describe the author's attitude
