[00:02.67]Section A

[00:04.00]Now let's begin with the 8 short conversations.

[00:07.81]11. W:Try to cut out smoking.

[00:10.89]That's the first thing you should do if you're worried about your health.

[00:14.12]M: That's a lot easier said than done.

[00:16.67]Q: What does the man mean?

[00:33.87]12. M: We'll have to hurry if we're going to be on time to the airport.

[00:37.95]It's already 8:30.   

[00:39.95]W: Well, it doesn't leave until 9: 15.

[00:42.60]I think we'll make it all right if we leave immediately.

[00:45.61]Q: How much time is the couple allowing once they get to the airport?

[01:05.18]13. M: Jane, I am having difficulty with all the theoretical stuff

[01:09.86]we are getting in our computer course. 

[01:12.37]W: Oh, that part I understand.

[01:14.78]What I can't figure out is how to make it work in our program. 

[01:18.67]Q: What is the man's problem? 

[01:36.13]14.W: I only want to get a can of juice to take to my room.

[01:40.63]M: You don't have to wait in the food line for that.

[01:43.24]There is a machine near that stack of trays.

[01:47.02]Q: Where does this conversation probably take place?

[02:05.81]15.W: I'm looking for a textbook for my sociology course.

[02:10.28]It's called American Society at File Crossroads. Do you have it?

[02:15.61]M: Yes, we do. You'll find it in Section 24, on the top shelf.

[02:20.48]Q: What is the woman's occupation?

[02:38.23]16.W: Did you see Mary somewhere around? 

[02:41.67]M: Yes, she is in the campus bank, applying for the student's loan. 

[02:46.21]Q: What was Mary doing? 

[03:03.78]17.W: I have lived here for about 6 years now.

[03:08.14]Have you lived in American very long?

[03:10.09]M: No. Not really. When we left Vietnam and

[03:12.84]came to America we lived with a cousin in Dallas for 2 years.

[03:17.46]Q: How long has the man been in America?

[03:35.42]18.W: I've been around the whole store,

[03:38.69]but I couldn' t find any sixty watt 1 bulbs.

[03:41.63]Don't you carry them any more?

[03:43.59]M: Oh, they used to be on Aisle 2 12,

[03:45.88]but we toured them to the hardware section yesterday.

[03:49.07]Q: What does the woman want to buy?

[04:07.68]Now you will hear 2 long conversations.

[04:11.78]Conversation One

[04:14.47]W: Tell me something about yourself and your past experience.

[04:17.59]M: I have eight years of experience working in the IT industry.

[04:21.51]For the past two years,

[04:22.70]I have been working as a project manager for a dotcom.

[04:26.28]I am also PMI certified 3.

[04:29.17]W: What experience have you had that qualifies you for this position?

[04:33.45]M: I have worked on a variety of projects and

[04:35.72]jobs in the high tech industry.

[04:37.75]I wanted to have the experience of working for a dotcom and

[04:40.91]have learned something about being in

[04:42.62]on the ground floor of a business.

[04:44.91]W: What qualities do you think are important to this position?

[04:48.57]M: To have a combination of technical and business knowledge

[04:52.31]and to be very results oriented. My past record shows that

[04:56.50]I have those qualities and more.

[04:58.46]Because of my business acumen 4 and technical knowledge,

[05:01.80]the teams I have managed accomplished 5 outstanding results,

[05:04.92]including booking more than $50 million in online revenue.

[05:09.75]W: When have you been most motivated?

[05:12.14]M: When I have a specific project to complete,

[05:14.76]I like to know the specifics of a project from beginning to end.

[05:18.53]I like definite deadlines and I like to meet those deadlines.

[05:22.31]I expect some deviation 6 from the original plan,

[05:25.30]but I try to stay focused and not let myself drift too far.

[05:28.84]I have great attention to detail and

[05:31.02]like to take my time and do it right the first time.

[05:34.83]W: Why did you leave your last position?

[05:37.19]M: My goal is to continue to take on new responsibilities and

[05:40.19]be a key contributor to the success of an online venture.

[05:44.52]W: What are your salary expectations?

[05:46.92]M: I really need more information about the job

[05:49.36]before we start to discuss salary.

[05:51.10]I'd like to postpone 7 that discussion until later.

[05:54.51]Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

[06:00.68]19. How long has the man worked?

[06:18.65]20. Why is the man applying this job?

[06:36.93]21. Which word describes the man's personality precisely 8?

[06:57.41]Conversation Two

[06:59.95]W: So, ha ... have you got any suggestions to

[07:02.96]make things more interesting for them? 

[07:05.62]M: Well, not so much me,

[07:07.83]but the Malaysians are doing some very good work in this field.

[07:11.39]One idea is to make the work on the plantations 9 more varied 10,

[07:14.76]and profitable, by introducing other products which are

[07:17.63]compatible with continuing to grow rubber trees.

[07:20.72]Well, the most promising 11 line seems to be to encourage

[07:24.17]small holders 12 to raise livestock 13 which can live among the trees. 

[07:28.54]W: Yes, I hear they've started trying raising chickens and turkeys. 

[07:33.05]M: Yes, indeed. I have another OHP at this point. 

[07:37.04]W: Erm ... OHP? 

[07:38.86]M: Overhead projection 14. 

[07:40.52]W: Ah. 

[07:41.45]M: Anyway, you can see here the different types

[07:43.92]of animals that have been tried.

[07:45.74]At first sight, chickens seemed ideal.

[07:48.21]After all, they did originate as jungle birds.

[07:51.58]However, excuse me,

[07:53.22]so far the profits on chickens have proved disappointing.

[07:56.78]The turkey seemed an excellent choice,

[07:58.95]since it could live among the trees living very well

[08:01.48]off the seeds of the rubber trees,

[08:03.54]which lie scattered 15 all over the forest floors and are put to no other use. 

[08:08.37]W: Yes, but the turkey,

[08:09.90]it's hardly an established part of the Malaysian diet! 

[08:12.90]M: Exactly! So far the most successful candidate has been the sheep. 

[08:16.86]W: Sheep? 

[08:17.81]M: Now. Sheep will eat the weeds,

[08:20.39]which will save the cultivator's money and work,

[08:22.97]and they are a source of meat which

[08:24.64]is acceptable both to Hindus and Muslims.

[08:28.01]W: Yes, well, that's most important in multicultural 16 Malaysia.

[08:32.01]M: Yes, they can also be used for their milk, their wool and their skins.

[08:36.04]W: Yes, of course.

[08:38.11]Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

[08:44.31]22. Which of the following is the goal of the conversation?

[09:03.02]23. What is true about turkey from the conversation?

[09:21.71]24. Why does the sheep become the most successful candidate?

[09:40.33]25. Where has the conversation probably happened?

[10:00.05]Section B

[10:01.83]Passage One

[10:03.85]To quickly review the main point covered in Chapter Ten,

[10:07.31]the most important part of the system of nerves is the brain.

[10:11.22]The brain controls most of the body's activities.

[10:14.23]Messages between the brain and spinal 17 cord are carried

[10:17.93]by nerves which are made up of special cells called nerve cells.

[10:22.87]Nerve cells are found in the brain,spinal cord,spinal nerves

[10:26.93]and in the organs we use to see,hear,smell,taste and touch.

[10:32.80]Nerve cells have long string like fibres that carry messages.

[10:38.28]These fibres have branched ends to send and receive messages.

[10:42.96]Remember that nerve cells are so small that

[10:46.00]they cannot be seen without a microscope.

[10:48.45]But one fibre from a nerve cell may stretch as long as three feet.

[10:52.63]There are many kinds of nerve cells,

[10:54.80]and this chapter deals mainly with three kinds.

[10:58.61]Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.

[11:03.84]26.What is the main topic of this talk?

[11:21.99]27.What is the source of the speaker's information?

[11:40.36]28.Why do nerve cells have fibres?



[12:00.22]Passage Two

[12:01.98]Let me briefly 18 explain how tomorrow's registration 19 will go.

[12:05.60]In the morning,all students are to report to the gymnasium

[12:08.68]with their completed course enrollment 20 forms.

[12:11.91]These forms must be signed by your academic advisor 21,

[12:15.15]and each course listed must get the departments' approval.

[12:18.92]Tables will be set up all around the north end of

[12:21.24]the gym for the different departments.

[12:23.39]So you simply go to the appropriate desk,

[12:25.55]and have someone there stamp your form “approved”.

[12:28.89]When you have completed the process for all of your course,

[12:31.85]you can proceed to the cashiers,at the south end of the gym.

[12:35.59]There you will have to pay for tuition,housing,and insurance.

[12:38.97]You are not considered officially enrolled 22 in the university

[12:41.87]until you have paid all of these fees.

[12:45.27]Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.

[12:50.32]29.Who is the speaker?

[13:07.30]30.Why must the students walk around

[13:09.79]to different tables in the gymnasium?

[13:26.45]31.Where will the students pay for tuition,housing,and insurance?



[13:46.82]Passage Three

[13:49.07]Pakistani officials fear at least 100 people are dead and

[13:52.67]as many as 1,200 missing after flush floods roared

[13:56.86]through southwest Baluchistan Province.

[14:00.02]The casualties include about 35 students caught

[14:02.93]inside their religious school as it was swept away by the water.

[14:06.85]Thousands of mud homes and villages along the dashed river are gone.

[14:10.95]The worst affected 23 area is Turba district

[14:13.63]near the Iranian border and the Arabian sea.

[14:17.98]Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

[14:23.79]32.How many people were missing?

[14:40.96]33.What happened in the southwestern Baluchistan Province?

[15:00.16]34.Where were the students when floods came?

[15:18.38]35.How about thousands of mud homes and villages?

[15:38.34]Section C

[15:40.23]I asked successful people what the secret of their success was.

[15:44.04]I recall an early discussion with a vice 24 president of a large oil company.

[15:48.91]“Oh, I just keep a To Do List,” he said.

[15:52.07]I passed over that quickly,

[15:53.88]little suspecting the importance of what he said.

[15:56.66]I was in another city the next day and I had lunch

[15:59.57]with a businessman who practically owned the town.

[16:02.51]He was chairman of the gas and light company,

[16:05.30]president of five manufacturing companies,

[16:07.57]and had his hand in a dozen other enterprises.

[16:11.58]I asked him how he managed to get everything done.

[16:15.02]“Oh, that's easy,” he said. “I keep a To Do List.”

[16:18.97]The first thing in the morning, he told me,

[16:21.37]he would come in and list what he wanted to accomplish that day.

[16:25.73]He would arrange the items in priority.

[16:28.27]During the day he would cross off items and

[16:30.85]add others as they occurred to him.

[16:33.39]In the evening he would check to see

[16:35.57]how many of the items he had written down still remained undone 25

[16:39.74]and then give himself a score.

[16:41.70]His goal was to cross off every single item.

[16:44.64]Again and again in the years since,

[16:46.93]when I have talked to successful people, the To Do List has come up.

[16:50.85]I have found that one difference between people at the top of the ladder

[16:53.93]and people at the bottom is that those at the top use a To Do List

[16:57.56]every day to make better use of their time; those at the bottom don't.

[17:04.51]I asked successful people what the secret of their success was.

[17:08.32]I recall an early discussion with a vice president of a large oil company.

[17:14.14]“Oh, I just keep a To Do List,” he said.

[17:17.30]I passed over that quickly,

[17:19.07]little suspecting the importance of what he said.

[17:23.20]I was in another city the next day and I had lunch

[17:25.45]with a businessman who practically owned the town.

[17:29.77]He was chairman of the gas and light company,

[17:32.51]president of five manufacturing companies,

[17:36.42]and had his hand in a dozen other enterprises.

[17:40.81]I asked him how he managed to get everything done.

[17:45.24]“Oh, that's easy,” he said. “I keep a To Do List.”

[17:49.24]The first thing in the morning, he told me,

[17:51.63]he would come in and list what he wanted to accomplish that day.

[17:57.04]He would arrange the items in priority.

[18:00.60]During the day he would cross off items and

[18:03.10]add others as they occurred to him.

[18:54.72]In the evening he would check to see

[18:56.68]how many of the items he had written down still remained undone

[19:00.93]and then give himself a score.

[19:02.92]His goal was to cross off every single item.

[19:54.98]Again and again in the years since,

[19:57.12]when I have talked to successful people, the To Do List has come up.

[20:01.08]I have found that one difference between people at the top of the ladder

[20:04.16]and people at the bottom is that those at the top use a To Do List

[20:07.92]every day to make better use of their time; those at the bottom don't.

[21:03.83]I asked successful people what the secret of their success was.

[21:07.50]I recall an early discussion with a vice president of a large oil company.

[21:12.33]“Oh, I just keep a To Do List,” he said.

[21:38.42]“Oh, that's easy,” he said. “I keep a To Do List.”
