Section B Paage One Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short paages.At the end of each paage, you will hear some questions.Both the paage and the questions will be spoken only once.After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choice marked A), B), C)and D).Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Paage One My father woke me up early one morning when I was fourteen and announced: “Get up!You’re going with me to cut gra.” I felt proud and excited because my father thought I was responsible enough to help him in his busine.Still that first day was really hard.From sunrise to sunset, my father, my younger brother and I cut and trimmed very large yards in a well-to-do part of the city.By the end of the day I was exhausted but I felt food.I had put in a hard day’s labor and had earned six dollars.One day my father spotted some weeds I had mied cutting and pulled me aside.“Get that section again,” he said firmly.“Don’t let me have to tell you to do the job right the first time.” In every job I have held,from cutting lawns to washing dishes to working a machine in a construction site, I have learnt something that help me in my next job.If you look hard enough, you can learn from any job you do.Paage Two I live in a small village in the country.My wife and I run the village shop.We have a very peaceful life.“Boring ”, some might say.But we love it.We know all the people in the village and have plenty of time to stop and chat.I have plenty of time for my hobbies too, gardening, fishing, and walking in the countryside.I love the outdoor life.It wasn’t always like this though.I used to have a really stre job, working till late in the office every evening and often bringing work home at the weekend.The advertising world is very competitive and when I look back, I can’t imagine how I stayed it.I had no private life at all, no time for the really important things in life.Because of the preure of the job I used to smoke and drink too much.The crisis came when my wife left me.She complained that she never saw me and I had no time for family life.This made me realize what was really important to me.I talked things through with her and decided to get back together again and started a new and better life together.I gave up tobacco and alcohol, and searched for new hobbies.Now I am afraid looking back since the past life seemed a horrible dream.Paage Three “Where is the university” is the question many visitors to Cambridge asked, but no one could point them in any one direction because there is no campus.The university consists of thirty-one self-governing colleges.It has lecture halls, libraries, laboratories, museums and offices throughout the city.Individual colleges choose their own students who have to meet the minimum entrance requirements set by the university.Undergraduates usually live and study in their colleges where they are taught in very small groups.Lectures and laboratory and practical work are organized by the university and held in university buildings.There are over 10,000 undergraduates and 3,500 post-graduates, about 40% of them are women and some 8% from overseas.As well as teaching, research is of major importance.Since the beginning of the 20th century, more than 60 university members have won Nobel Prizes.University has a huge number of buildings for teaching and research.It has more than 60 specialist subject libraries as well as the university library, which, as a copyright library, is entitled to a copy of every book published in Britain.Examinations are set and degrees are awarded by the university.It allowed women to take the university exams in 1881, but it was not until 1948 that they were awarded degrees.
