[00:01.08]Passage One
[00:03.38]I flew to San Francisco
[00:05.90]to take care of some business with Mr. Jordan.
[00:09.37]But as soon as I arrived,
[00:12.32]I got sick and couldn't meet with him.
[00:15.39]I had to call our appointment off.
[00:18.77]Then when I felt better,
[00:21.73]I thought about visiting him at his home,
[00:25.12]but he lived too far away.
[00:27.85]I tried to telephone him during office hours
[00:31.90]but he was busy.
[00:33.65]The receptionist said
[00:36.31]that Mr. Jordan would call me back.
[00:38.71]But he didn't.
[00:40.03]I gave up trying to make a new appointment
[00:43.86]because it would take more time
[00:46.04]and effort than I wanted to spend.
[00:48.56]A few days later,
[00:51.30]I saw a man on the street who looked like Mr. Jordan
[00:55.34]and I called out to him.
[00:57.42]It was someone else.
[00:59.71]When I returned to my hotel that day,
[01:03.00]I found a message which said
[01:05.84]that Mr. Jordan had gone out of town
[01:08.58]on some sudden unexpected 1 business.
[01:11.75]I was sorry I had missed seeing him,
[01:15.26]but I really enjoyed my sightseeing.
[01:19.32]Questions 1 to 3 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[01:27.32]1. Why couldn't the speaker meet Mr. Jordan
[01:32.36]when he got to San Francisco?
[01:49.42]2. Why did the speaker give up making another appointment?
[02:13.28]3. What did we learn from the story?
[02:32.93]Passage Two
[02:35.99]Deer are confirmed vegetarians 2.
[02:39.71]But you would never know it
[02:41.68]by watching the white-tailed deer in an island
[02:45.73]in Lake Michigan each spring.
[02:48.68]In the first documented case of its kind,
[02:52.63]two wildlife biologists, writing in a journal 3,
[02:57.43]report that deer have been gulping 4 down a kind of small fish,
[03:02.79]which die off each spring and summer,
[03:05.97]washed up on the beach.
[03:08.27]It is reported that the average deer eat 235 fish
[03:14.72]during each of three daily trips to the beach.
[03:19.21]The white-tailed deer were introduced to an island
[03:23.81]in the lake in 1926.
[03:27.09]The first fish die offs began in the late fifties.
[03:32.23]It is also said that deer have never been heard
[03:36.82]to eat meat on a regular basis,
[03:39.45]although occasional 5 occurrences 6 have been reported.
[03:44.48]Someone once spotted 7 a deer eating a dead salmon 8.
[03:49.52]It is also presumed 9 that deer eat bird,
[03:53.56]but don't get the opportunity to do it very often.
[03:59.18]Questions 4 to 6 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[04:05.74]4. According to the talk it is common sense that__________.
[04:26.99]5. What will be eaten by the white-tailed deer?
[04:48.32]6. When were these white-tailed deer introduced to the island?
[05:11.53]Passage Three
[05:13.28]Tom Smith was a writer.
[05:16.12]He wrote detective stories for magazines.
[05:19.95]One evening he could not find an ending for a story.
[05:25.20]He sat with his typewriter in front of him,
[05:28.05]but he had no ideas.
[05:30.34]So he decided 10 to go to the cinema.
[05:33.30]When he came back,
[05:35.38]he found that he had had a visitor.
[05:38.22]Someone had broken into his flat.
[05:40.96]The man had had a drink,
[05:42.49]smoked several of Tom's cigarettes and had read his story.
[05:46.98]The visitor left Tom a note:
[05:49.28]“I have read your story and I don't think much of it.
[05:53.98]Please read my suggestions
[05:55.62]and then you can finish it.
[05:57.92]By the way, I am a thief.
[06:00.66]I am not going to steal anything tonight.
[06:03.61]But if you become a successful writer, I will return!”
[06:07.77]Tom read the thief's suggestions.
[06:11.04]Then he sat down and wrote the rest of the story.
[06:14.00]He is still not a successful writer,
[06:16.62]and he is waiting for the thief to return.
[06:19.80]Before he goes out in the evening,
[06:22.09]he always leaves a half-finished story by his typewriter.
[06:27.02]Questions 7 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[06:33.91]7. About whom did Tom write stories?
[06:54.27]8. Why did Tom go to the cinema?
[07:15.02]9. What did the man do at Tom's home?
