As you listen, fill in each blank with a proper word from the news.Write your answers on the Answer Sheet. The news will be played twice. You now have 30 seconds to look at the questions you need to work on for this part.[Pause 30 seconds]Now listen carefully.One third of the people at work in Britain are women. By 1975 they will, by law, be on a footing of equal pay with men. Their prospects of reaching the top, however, are still far from equal. A reason often advanced for women failing to reach the top is their desire for balance between work and a life outside work. Employers know this and tend, when a woman with young children applies for promotion, to treat the fact that she has young children as an important factor and, given the choice, are more likely to give the promotion to a man than to her.You now have 30 seconds to check your answers.[Pause 30 seconds]Now you will hear the news again.[Play text again]You now have 30 seconds to check your answers.[Pause 30 seconds]This is the end of Part 1. Now go on to Part 2.Part 2. Questions 6-15 are based on this part.You are going to listen to a conversation between two people. They are talking about magazines and newspapers published in the English language. As you listen, choose the best answer from A, B, C and D. Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.The conversation will be played twice. You now have 30 seconds to look at the questions you need to work on for this part.[Pause 30 seconds]Now listen carefully.Man: You know what I found yesterday? The Observer! But it was last week's edition, so it felt like reading old news. Have you read any Englishmagazines or newspapers recently?Woman: Well, to be honest, I haven't read a single newspaper or magazine since I arrived.Man: Well, haven't you come across the China Daily?Woman: Actually, I did see one old issue, yes. Is it good?Man: Yes, I think it is quite good. It's certainly the most popular English language newspaper around.Woman: But is there anything else to read in English, I mean, for news?Man: Yes, there’s Beijing Review, if you'd prefer a magazine. It's published weekly. I’m not sure what it's like but it's probably the oldest Englishlanguage magazine in China.Woman: But what about newspapers and magazines that are published in English speaking countries? Can you subscribe to them here?Man: No, I think you usually have to arrange subscriptions in the country of publication. That's the case with the Guardian Weekly anyway.Woman: The Guardian Weekly? I thought that Guardian was a daily newspaper. Man: It is, in Britain… but there is a special overseas edition, printed on airmail paper. It's great actually — it contains a summary of the whole week's newsand a selection of the best articles. If I were staying here longer, I'ddefinitely arrange to have it sent to me.Woman: I've never seen it. I saw the Guardian once, but not the Guardian Weekly. Is that a British newspaper you've got there?Man: Yes, it is. That's the Observer I was mentioning. I got it from a British woman I met yesterday. You can have a look if you like.Woman: Maybe later. I really do need to familiarize myself with British and American mass media. I was looking in the library the other day and, to behonest, I found it all rather confusing. Some of the newspapers seem sothick and have lots of different sections and of course, I have no ideawhether they're reliable or not! Any tips?Man: Well, as far as British newspapers are concerned, the major daily ones are: the Times, the Guardian, the Independent and the Daily Telegraph. Thereare lots of others too, like the Sun and the Mirror but the Times and so onare the best ones.Woman: The Times? I thought that was American.Man: No, it's British, very British in fact. You may be thinking of Time, the famous American magazine, or the New York Times, which is a newspaper! Woman: It is confusing.Man: A tip you might find useful is this: Newspaper titles are normally preceded by the definite article: the Times, the Independent and so on. Magazines'titles usually have no article: Time, Beijing Review, Cosmopolitan and soon.Woman: That's a useful piece of information, thanks. What's Cosmopolitan?Man: It's a woman's magazine, there's an American version and a British one. But, to go back distinguishing newspapers and magazines I should warn you, itisn't always true that magazines have no article. There are, as usual inEnglish, many exceptions to the rules like the Economist.Woman: Never mind. I t’s a useful guideline. What about American newspapers?Which ones would you suggest I try to have a look at?Man: Well, there are so many of them! Major newspapers are the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. And I suppose thebest magazines are Time and Newsweek, but there are also lots and lots ofothers: magazines for men or for women, about cooking or about sport andso on.You now have 30 seconds to check your answers.[Pause 30 seconds]Now you will hear the conversation again.[Play text again]You now have 30 seconds to check your answers.[Pause 30 seconds]This is the end of Part 2. Now go on to Part 3.Part 3. Questions 16-25 are based on this part.You are going to listen to a monologue about college students in the United States today. As you listen, decide whether statements 16-25 are true or false. Write T for “true” and F for “false” on the Answer Sheet. The monologue will be played twice. You now have 30 seconds to look at the questions you need to work on for this part.[Pause 30 seconds]Now listen carefully.For many years in the United States, most undergraduate students were 18 to 22 years old. They attended college full time, lived in a dormitory on campus, and expected many “extras” from their colleges, not just classes. But things began to change in the 1970s and are very different now. Today, these “traditional” students are less than one- quarter of all college students. These days the nontraditional students are the majority; they are different from the traditional students in several ways. They are older. Many attend college part time because they have families and jobs. Most live off campus, not in dorms. These nontraditional students don’t want the extras that colleges usually offer. They aren’t interested in the sports, entertainment, religious groups, and museums that are part of most U.S. colleges. They want mainly good-quality classes, day or night, at a low cost. They also hope for easy parking, short registration lines, and polite services. Both time and money are important to them.Psychological tests reflect different learning styles in this new student population, too. Each person has a certain learning style, and about 60 percent of the new students these days prefer the sensing style. This means they are very practical. They prefer a practice-to-theory method of learning—experience first and ideas after that. They oftenhave difficulty with reading and writing and are unsure of themselves. Most of these students are attending college because they want to have a good job and make a lot of money.In contrast, other students prefer the intuitive learning style. These students love ideas. They prefer a theory-to practice method of learning and enjoy independent, creative thinking. These “intuitives” are not very practical. They are attending college because they want to create unique works of art or study philosophy or someday help in the field of science.There is a drawback for the students who prefer the sensing style of learning. A majority of college professors prefer the intuitive learning style. These teachers value independent thinking and creative ideas. Students in the sensing group are at a disadvantage because their way of thinking doesn’t match their teachers’.In another way, also, students these days are different from students in the past. In the 1960s and 1970s, many students demonstrated against the government and hoped to make big changes in society. In the 1980s, most students were interested only in their studies and future jobs. Today, students seem to be a combination of the two: They want to make good money when they graduate, but they’re also interested in helping society. Many students today are volunteering in the community. They are working to help people, without payment. For example, they tutor children in trouble, or they work with organizations for homeless people. In these ways, they hope to make changes in society.
