Section B

Passage One
I grew up in a small town. My father raised chickens and ran a construction company. I was barely 10 years old when dad gave me the responsibility of feeding the chickens and cleaning up the stable. He believed it was important to me to have those jobs to learn responsibility and moods. Then, when I was 22, I found a job in Nashville at a country music sub-club called "The Nashville Palace". I washed dishes and cooked from 4:00p.m. to 9:00p.m. and then went on stage and sand until 2:00 in the morning. It wasn't long before I became known as a singing cook. I had been rejected so many times by record companies that it was hard not to be discouraged. One night, a woman executive from a company named Warner Brothers Records came to hear me sing. When the show was over, we sat down and talked and after she left, I said to myself it was one more rejection. A few weeks later, my manager received a phone call- Warner Brothers wanted to sign me to a record deal. Soon after, I released my first record in June, 1986. It sold over 2 million copies. My best efforts had gone into every job I ever held. It was the sense of responsibility that made me feel like a man. Knowing that I had done my best filled me with pride. I still feel that way today, even though I have become a well-known singer.

Questions 11 to 14 are based on the passage you have just heard.
11. Why was the speaker once known as the singing cook?
12. Who first recognized his talents and offered him a big deal?
13. Where did the speaker work just before he became a professional singer?
14. What made the speaker proud of himself?

Passage Two
You should not fear spiders because of their poison. Of all the spiders in North America, only one kind is realy dangerous and most would not bite even if they were handled. They much prefer to run away or to drop to the ground on a thread of silk. Even so, when a spider runs directly toward a person, it gives the impression that it is about to attack. Actually, it cannot see the person in its way. The spider is too short-sighted to see things at a distance. It only wants to go where it won't be disturbed. In the United States one kind of spider is responsible for the frightening reputation of the rest. It is the Black Widow. So called because the female, which is larger than the male, often eats her husband after making love. The Black Widow is found in all states but is most common in the south and the west. She constructs a loose, irregular web under a pile of ruins or near the foundations of buildings where she is seldom disturbed. She is not an attacking spider and many people have proven this by letting her crawl over their hands. When she bites, it is usually in self-defence. In spite of the stories you may have heard, it is rare for a person to be bitten by a Black Widow and even more unusual for the bite to prove fatal. But remember that her poison is powerful and even though she is shy, she should be respected.

Questions 15 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard.
15. What is this passage mainly about?
16. What do we learn about the spiders from the passage?
17. Why is the spider you just heard about called the Black Widow?

Passage Three
Mr. Bascomb was upset. At time like this he wished he had never become a candidate for mayor. Everything had gone wrong that morning. Even before leaving the house, he had received a telephone call from his election campaign manager asking for money. This made him angry and he left the house in a bad mood. When Mr. Bascomb arrived at the office, he could feel his head swinging. He reached for medicine but the bottle was empty. He had forgotten to pick up some medicine at the drug store. Mr. Bascomb looked at his watch. He was to deliver a campaign speech before a group of business men at the club at 11 o'clock. He had given a rough draft of his speech to Barbara the day before and asked her to type it out for him. Just then, the telephone rang. It was Barbara. She explained that her car had broken down and she couldn't be at work until 12 o'clock. Mr. Bascomb was desperate. He didn't know what to do. He was very nervous when he arrived at the club. He couldn't remember anything he had planned to say to his audience. He started talking about himself and his problems instead of talking about the problems of the city. Most of the people in the audience were bored. By the time Mr. Bascomb finished his speech, almost everyone had fallen into sleep or left the room.

Questions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.
18. What did Mr. Bascomb's election campaign manager ask for?
19. Why couldn't Barbara come to work before 12 o'clock?
20. What did Mr. Bascomb talk about at the club?
