Now you will hear two long conversations.

Conversation One

M: Good afternoon, madam. How can I help you?
W: Erm, well, I seem to have lost my handbag.
M: O
h, I’m sorry.

W: Have you seen a brown bag?
M:
I’m afraid
, madam, at the present time
nothing has been handed in, but if you’d like to give me
a description, I can write it down.
W: OK. It,
it’s a brown bag.

M: Brown.
W:
And it’s er, it’s leather and it has a flap that comes over the top. It’s
er, a shoulder bag.

M: Fine. Have you got anything inside it that would identify it?
W:
Well, my passport’s in there and er, my money
. I mean all my money is in there. I have about
three hundred pounds cash.
M: I see.
W: Erm, my passport and my money, erm. Oh, I, I have a little address book and my name is in the
front.
M: Fine. And where did you leave it?

W: I think I left it in the café
.
M: And when was that?
W: About 12:30, I think.
M:
I’m sure it will turn up. Now could you tell me your name, please?

W:
Henderson. Julie Henderson. I’m in Room 216
.
M: All right, Mrs. Henderson. We will let you know as soon as we find it. Thank you very much.


Questions 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

9. Which of the following statements is not true according to the talk?
10. Which one of the following items does the handbag not contain?

11. Where does the lady leave her handbag?

Conversation Two

W: I think continuing education is for innovative adults.
M:
That’s interesting. I always thought of continuing education as training session
s for teachers to
update their knowledge or for workers to fit themselves for new jobs.

W: There are those, too. But I mean people who personally choose to take continuing education,
those who pay out of their own pockets because they decide, at a mature
age, that life needs a
little polishing up.
M:
Y
ou
mean
like
Marie
who
worked
as
a
nurse
for
25
years?
At
45
she
decided
to
go
to
university and then go for an MBA
and is now the Chief Nurse. She earns double the salary,

but has also double the trouble.
W: Exactly. Someone who has the courage to say,
“Hey, I don’t want to die doing only this!” Y
ou
know, someone who wants to use 99% rather than 60% of his or her potential.
M:
It
does
take
guts
to
return
to
studying
as
a
working
adult.
I
mean,
you
have
family

responsibilities, usually a job, and suddenly, you have to study and pass exams again.
W:
That’s why I think continuing education is for people with initiative.

M:
Well, count me out. I’m for live
-and-let-
live. So I’ll never make big money
, but I earn eno
ugh
to
lead
a
good
life.
I’d
rather
go
and
learn
to
be
a
carpenter
so when
I retire
I
can
make
furniture or something like that.
W:
Well,
that’s
a
kind
of
continuing
education.
It
doesn’t
all
have
to
be
intellectual.
The
philosophy behind continuing educat
ion is that you’re never too old to learn. But of course we
return to learn what we enjoy.
M:
If you put it that way, I’m definitely for continuing education. I mean, I have no regrets as a
dentist. But if I had another chance, I might choose architecture
or art rather than medicine. I
guess with continuing education I can try to get the best of both at different stages in my life!

Passage One






Los
Angeles
today
is
the
second
largest city
in
America,
spreading
over
464
square
miles
along
the
southern
California
coast.
It
is
the center
of
the
entertainment
industry,
and
it
has
a
balmy climate of mostly sunny days. But there was a time when Los Angeles was nothing more
than a tiny Indian village.





The
Spanish
expedition
searching
for
Monterey
Bay
camped
there
the
night
of
August
1,
1769.
Twelve
years
later,
other
Spaniards
started
a
settlement
at
the
village,
which
remained
unchanged for decades.





Y
ankee sea traders used the settlement as a port, and the California gold rush brought some
new
economic
life
to
the
village,
but
the
town
remained
quite
small.
It
