Section B

Passage One

Pamcla Royal and her partner, Edith Clark, are the owners of the Sea View Hotel in Brighton. As much of their business is seasonal6, they do a good deal of the work themselves. In order to make a profit, it is necessary to keep down the cost of extra staff. Although they will never make a fortune, for the last ten years they have earned a reasonable living from the hotel.

They work extremely will together and each has her own duties. In general, Pamela does the book keeping. She is excellent with figures and seldom makes a mistake. She also takes care of the decorations, particularly the flower arranging, which is her hobby. Edith, on the other hand, makes all the staff arrangements, and when necessary does the cooking. She is a very patient woman, and if guests make complaints she tries her best to solve their problem.

However, the two ladies do not do all the work themselves. They usually employ college students to do the cleaning and the washing up. Bob Albert, who is a retired7 policeman, goes in two hours a day to do the gardening, or take care of the swimming pool.

Both ladies are very popular. They believe in having an informal relationship with the guests, and often make friends with their regular visitors. Last month was their tenth anniversary8 in Brighton, and they had a dinner with their friends to celebrate. Pamela gave a speech and everyone wished them lots of success for the future.

Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.

11.How do Pamela and Edith manage to keep down the cost of the hotel?

12.What jobs in the hotel are given to the college students?

13.Why are the two ladies popular in the area?

Passage Two

Some people dream of being President of the United States. Some dream of becoming stars in a Hollywood movie, and others of making millions of dollars overnight9. But, could a dream like that come true in real life? Well, it did happen to peter Johnson.

Peter was an auto10 mechanic11. One day, he walked into the Union Trust Bank in Baltimore and took 5,000 dollars that did not belong to him. The guards and other employees stood back and let him stuff12 the bills in his shirt and pants without trying to prevent him from taking the money.(16) No one tripped an alarm. No one pulled a gun. No one called the police. Why did the allow him to get away with it?

Well, everything was legal. Peter had won a contest promoted by a Baltimore radio station. The first prize entitled13 him to enter the union Trust bank and gather up as much money as he could lay his hands within five minutes. Because he could not bring any large bags or boxes into the bank, all the money had to be placed in his pockets.

As the time went by, Peter ran about wildly, trying to pick up as many large bills as he could find. When his time was up, he was out of breath, but was $ 5,000 richer.

Questions 14 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard.

14.Why did peter go to the Union Trust bank?

15.What was Peter's job?

16.What did the guards do when Peter stared gathering14 the money?

17.Why didn't Peter take more money from the bank?

Passage Three

Larry Smith is one of the rescuers on the Golden Gate Bridge. His job is to save people who attempt to jump into the sea. If the telephone rings at three in the morning, he knows it's trouble. Someone is threatening to commit suicide15. Larry will get his things ready, and in no time he'll be out the door and heading to the spot.

"If you aren't too late," Larry says, "you climb out onto the cold steel and try to talk to the poor, and pull him anyhow back to safety. For many suicide attempts are made on the spur16 of the moment, and lives can be saved. But if you fall, if the person jumps into the bottomless pool, there's no describing how helpless17 you feel. Often, would - be jumpers are driven to despair18 and see no hope out of their misery19. The trick is to open channels of communication with them. Following are some tricks that have worked: 'If you're going to jump, at least give me your mom's phone number so I can call and tell her. 'Or' That's a nice watch. If you're going to jump, can I have it?' Sometimes, all it takes is the voice of the human being who cares."

Larry estimates20 he has rescued about thirty people in his ten years of service.

Questions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.

18.What is Larry's job?

19.What is happening if Larry's phone rings at 3 o'clock in the morning?

20. What does Larry Smith usually do to stop someone from jumping off the bridge?
