W: Why didn't you make an appointment to see the doctor last week when you first twisted your ankle?

Q: Why didn't the man see the doctor earlier?
7.

Q: What is the woman going to do?
10.
M: How did you like yesterday's play?
W: Generally speaking, it was quite good. The part of the secretary was played wonderfully. But I think the man who played the boss was too dramatic to be realistic.
Q: How does the woman feel about the man's acting in the play?

Passage I
The most relaxed spot in a library is usually the current periodical section, where students can be found sitting in comfortable chairs, reading magazines, or consulting movie schedules. In this area there are two kinds of periodicals: popular magazines and newspapers-such as those you can buy on newsstands-and scholarly or professional journals, which contain articles for specialists and most of which are available only by subscription. Back issues of periodicals are stored in bound volumes or on micro-film-sometimes in the periodical room and sometimes in the stacks.
Questions 11 to 14 are based on the passage you have just heard.
11. What cannot people do in the periodical section of a library?
12. What are the two kinds of periodicals?
13. According to the passage, which statement is not true?

Passage II
When I entered the room, one of them rose and walked round to shake hands with me. He introduced his colleagues and then indicated a chair, in which I seated myself. After asking me briefly about my place of birth and my RAF experience, they began to question me carefully on telecommunications. The questions were careful and deliberate, and all my nervousness disappeared. Now I was confident, at ease with a familiar subject. They questioned me thoroughly, but I was relaxed now. The years of study and work began to pay off, and I knew I was doing well. I was even enjoying it.
Questions 15 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard.
15. What happened when the speaker went into the interview room?

Passage III
A young man who refused to give his name dived into the river yesterday morning to save a 12-year-old boy.
The boy, who ran away after being rescued, had been swimming in the river and had caught his foot between two concrete posts under the bridge. He shouted out for help.
At the time, a young man was riding across the bridge on his bicycle. He quickly dismounted and dived fully clothed into the river. He then freed the boy's foot and helped him to the river bank where a small crowd had collected. The boy thanked his rescuer courteously and sincerely, and then ran off down the road. He was last seen climbing over a gate before disappearing over the top of the hill. The young man, who was about 20 years of age, said "I don't blame the boy for not giving his name. Why should he? If he wants to swim in the river, that's his business. And if I wanted to help him, that's mine. You can't have my name either!"
He then ran back to the bridge, mounted his bicycle and rode away.
Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.
17. How old is the boy?
18. What happened yesterday morning?
19. What did the boy do after being rescued?
20. According to the passage, which statement is not true?
During the last war, most of the men were fighting or working in factories, so it was very difficult (1) to find men to do other work. The headmaster of a school wanted a gardener, (2) the only person he was able to get was an old retired farmer.
The old man (3) worked so hard in the school garden that (4) the headmaster became worried. He thought that the old man might (5) get ill or die if he continued like that, so he suggested to him that he should (6) work more slowly and rest more. But the old man continued (7) to work as before. At last the headmaster went to the man's wife and asked her to speak to her husband.
"All right," she answered, "but I don't think (8) it will do any good. You see, he has worked for himself (9) all his life, never for anybody else, so he (10) has just never learnt to work slowly."
