Part 2 Passage
Welcome to London
Welcome to London! You and seven million other tourists will fill Britain's capital city this season, jostling each other along Oxford Street, getting lost on the Underground, staring at Buckingham Palace, and complaining about the food and the weather.
What can you do when you're here There are the obvious tourist attractions of royal London, the London of pageantry and soldiers in fancy uniforms. There is historical London, with the ancient buildings and magnificent churches. A good introduction to all this can be found in the London Museum in the Barbican.
You can spend a lot of money, in shops from aristocratic Knightsbridge to democratic Marks and Spencer, all of them anxious to receive travellers' cheques in almost any currency. There are many hotels at your service, and your chambermaid may well be able to talk to you in your own language -- though probably not in English. Restaurants are here by the hundred. You can eat your way round the world in London, from China to Argentina, though you may have a bit of a job finding good English food.

News Item 3
The competition between Microsoft and Google took a new turn on February first. Microsoft made a public offer to buy the Internet company Yahoo. Microsoft says the combined companies would be in a better position to compete against Google in the online services market.
This week, Yahoo rejected the offer. Its board of directors said the price undervalued the company. The offer was worth almost 45 billion dollars in cash and stock, or 31 dollars per Yahoo share. Yahoo is said to want 40 dollars a share.
Microsoft says it offered a full and fair price. It says moving forward quickly with the deal would be in the best interest of shareholders. Yet since February first, the value of
Microsoft’s offer has fallen to 29 dollars a share because of a drop in its stock. Microsoft thinks it could better compete against Google with Yahoo’s expert knowledge. Microsoft could attempt a hostile takeover. But that is not the way it normally does business, and there is risk of angering Yahoo’s employees.
A: This news item is about Microsoft’s plan to purchase Yahoo to compete with Google. B: TFTFT

PART 2 Retelling
It was Monday morning. Betty left home early that day because she was going to start work at an office. She was only sixteen and this was her first job.
Unfortunately, the traffic was so dense that she was a few minutes late When she arrived at the office.
When she entered the office, she saw Mr. Cramp, her boss, speaking to the people in an angry voice. She was very afraid and didn't dare to say anything.
Later that day, she found out what had happened, As a rule, Mr. Crump came to the office at about 9:30, because he lived a long way out in the country and came up by train every day. That morning, however, he happened to catch an earlier train, and when he arrived at the office, he was greatly annoyed to see that no one was working. All the clerks were standing around, smoking, laughing and telling jokes.

PART 1 Listening Comprehension
Passage 1
Entertainments in London
You come, of course, from all over the world, attracted by the comparative cheapness of London and its relatively new reputation as a good place to have fun -- a reputation which really only dates from the mid 1960's, that era* of' Swinging London,"* of pop stars and fashion photographers and dress designers.
There's certainly no lack of entertainment. The British Theatre is world famous, and offers everything from Shakespeare to West End comedy*. There's a large number of
cinemas presenting films from all over the world. Every night of the week there are concerts. Classical or pop, take your choice. And of course night clubs will be happy to take large quantifies of cash from you in return for the illusion* of being sophisticated* and perhaps slightly wicked*. When it rains (and it will rain) there are museums and art galleries to give you shelter-- and they're free! When it's fine, take a boat trip along the River Thames, downstream to Greenwich* or upstream to Hampton Court*.
You may be exhausted by London; you may be cheated in London; you may not be able to get a drink when you want one, thanks to the ridiculous licensing laws; you may get wet and catch a cold; but you're not likely to be bored.

Passage 2
Health Insurance
Most full-time students at American universities must have health insurance.
This is because health costs in the United States are high. Colleges are not able to pay the costs if students suffer serious accidents or sickness,
Many American colleges have health centers where doctors and nurses treat students' medical problems. This service may be included in the cost of attending college. Health insurance is usually needed for extra services.
Students may already be protected under their parents' health insurance policies*. If not, many colleges offer their own insurance plans. For example, students at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor are treated without charge the minor medical problems at the university health center. But the university suggests
that students buy its health insurance plan. It costs about 800 dollars a year. The insurance pays [or hospital services, emergency room care and visits to doctors. It also pays for laboratory tests and x rays. And it pays ninety percent of the cost of drugs prescribed by a doctor. The plan does not pay for birth control, care of the teeth or eyeglasses. And it does not pay for preventive care such as injections* that prevent disease.
Students at Boston College in Massachusetts are required to have their own health insurance plan or lo buy the college accident and sickness insurance. The college plan costs about 500 dollars a year. It pays for any medical care needed within a/line period. It does not pay for eye glasses, hearing aids*, or dental* treatment.
Students can also buy independent insurance policies from insurance companies. The details of such policies are different, depending on where the student lives. Usually, these policies pay for doctor visits, treatment of injuries and hospital costs. Sometimes foreign students do not understand the need for health insurance, especially if they do net need such insurance in their own countries. However, people in the United States are responsible for their own medical costs. These can be extremely high in cases of serious illness or accidents. The purpose of health insurance is to make sure that these costs will be paid for.
Exercise A: Listen to the report and complete the following sentences.
1. Students at American universities must have health insurance, because health costs in the United States are high.
2. Many American colleges have health centers where minor medical problems can be treated.
3. The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor offers its health insurance plan that costs about $800 a year.
4. Boston College in Massachusetts suggests the students buy the college accident
and sickness insurance that costs about $500 a year.
Exercise B: Listen to the report again and put a tick beside the item that the insurance pays for and put a cross beside the one that the insurance doesn't pay for. hospital services √ birth control X laboratory tests √ x-rays √
drugs prescribed by a doctor √ hearing aids X
eyeglasses X emergency room care √

Frances Whitbread lived in children's homes until she was 13 because her mother was unable to look after her.
When Frances was 12 she took part in a game of netball. The referee, whose name was Margaret Whitbread, noticed the young girl because she argued with so many of her decisions. A few weeks later they met again at a local sports ground. Frances asked Margaret to show her how to throw the javelin and Margaret soon discovered that although Frances was a difficult child, she was a very promising young athlete.
When Frances was 13, the Whitbreads adopted her. Family life suited Frances and as she became bigger and stronger, her javelin throwing improved until she became one of Britain's top athletes.
Exercise: Listen to the passage and then give your opinion on the following topics.
1. What difference would it have made if Frances had not met the Whitbreads

He doesn’t have a car or a TV set. He doesn’t have many clothes and he doesn’t care about money when he makes a lot of money, he gives it away. He doesn’t smoke and he works from six in the morning until late at night, seven days a week: he is paying back to America his debt as a citizen. When he went to parties as a young man, people complained that all he talked about was the dangers of cars, and how bad car design caused the deaths of so many people each year. After he graduated from Harvard, he published an article entitled “Unsafe at Any Speed,” which was about a car called Corvair. Later, he made a big attack on the car industry and showed how many deaths in car accidents were because of badly-made cars. He said new laws were needed to make cars safer. In 1966, because of Nader’s work, a law was passed to make car safer. After this success, Nader became interested in something very different. This was the quality of meat and the amount of meat that is put into foods like sausages and hamburgers. A year later, in 1967, again because of Nader’s work, a law was passed to ensure that products like sausages and hamburgers contained the right amount of meat. In 1968, three more laws were passed because of Nader’s efforts. The first was to

Part 2 Listening for Gist For hundreds of years man has been fascinated by the idea of flying. One of the first men to produce designs for aircraft was Leonardo da Vinci, an Italian artist who lived in the fifteenth century. However, it was not until the eighteenth century that people began to fly, or perhaps it would be better to say float, across the countryside in balloons. The first hot-air balloon was made in April 1783 by the Montgolfier brothers in France. In the following years many flights were made by balloon. Some of the flights were for pleasure and others were for delivering mail and for military purposes, such as observation and even bombing. However, in the late nineteenth century, airship s superseded balloons as a form of transport. Airships came after balloons. The first powered and manned flight was made by a Frenchman, Giffard, in September 1852. His airship, powered by steam, traveled twenty-seven kilometers from Paris to Trappes at a speed of eight kilometers per hour. However the days of the airship were numbered as the aero- plane became increasingly safe and popular.
