  [00:20.09]Listen to the following passage.

  [00:22.81]Altogether the passage will be read to you four times.

  [00:26.09]During the first reading, which will be done at normal speed,

  [00:30.04]listen and try to understand the meaning.

  [00:32.78]For the second and third readings,

  [00:35.13]the passage will be read sentence by sentence,

  [00:37.83]or phrase by phrase, with intervals of 15 seconds.

  [00:42.17]The last reading will be done at normal speed again

  [00:45.02]and during this time you should check your work.

  [00:48.85]You will then be given 1 minute

  [00:50.25]to check through your work once more.

  [00:59.23]Travel Books

  [01:01.20]There are three kinds of travel books.

  [01:03.85]The first are those that give a personal,

  [01:12.30]If these books are informative

  [01:14.28]and have a good index,

  [01:15.99]they can be very useful to you

  [01:27.85]description of things to be done and seen.

  [08:58.34]They will give an analysis or an interpretation.

  [09:02.43]Now you have 1 minute to check through your work.

  [10:06.33]That is the end of PART I Dictation.

  [10:10.83]Part Two Listening Comprehension

  [10:14.61]SECTION A TALK

  [10:17.15]In this section you will hear a talk.

  [10:20.52]You will hear the talk ONCE ONLY.

  [10:23.66]While listening, you may look at ANSWER SHEET ONE

  [10:27.21]and write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each gap.

  [10:31.60]Make sure the word(s) you fill in is (are) both

  [10:36.36]grammatically and semantically acceptable.

  [10:40.14]You may use the blank sheet for note-taking.

  [10:44.43]You have THIRTY seconds to preview the gap-filling task.

  [11:20.04]Now listen to the talk.

  [11:22.06]When it is over, you will be given TWO minutes to complete your work.

  [11:28.07]Closeness and Personal Space

  [11:31.37]Good morning, everyone.

  [11:32.64]Today, we'll talk about closeness and personal space.

  [11:36.16]Every culture has different levels of physical closeness

  [11:39.31]appropriate to different types of relationship,

  [11:41.70]and individuals learn these distances

  [11:44.13]from the society in which they grew up.

  [11:46.81]When someone violates an appropriate distance,

  [11:49.24]people may feel uncomfortable or defensive.

  [11:52.58]Their actions may well be open to misinterpretation.

  [11:55.96]In Western society, four distances have been defined

  [11:59.88]according to the relationship between the people involved.

  [12:02.75]They are intimate distance, personal distance,

  [12:05.72]social distance, and public distance.

  [12:08.80]These four distances are associated

  [12:11.43]with the four main types of relationship--

  [12:13.57]intimate, personal, social and public.

  [12:16.83]Now we'll talk about the four personal distances one by one.

  [12:21.23]First, we'll begin with intimate distance.

  [12:24.16]Intimate distance ranges from close contact,

  [12:27.19]such as touching, to 45cm.

  [12:30.46]In British society, it tends to be seen as

  [12:33.78]an inappropriate distance for public behaviour

  [12:36.28]and entering the intimate space of another person

  [12:38.88]with whom you do not have a close relationship

  [12:41.76]can be extremely disturbing.

  [12:43.90]Next, let's look at the second type of distance,

  [12:46.57]personal distance, which ranges from 45cm to 1.2m.

  [12:52.17]The far phase of personal distance is considered

  [12:55.28]to be the most appropriate for people

  [12:57.36]holding a conversation.

  [12:59.33]At this distance it is easy

  [13:00.97]to see the other person's expressions

  [13:02.89]and eye movements,

  [13:04.20]as well as their overall body language.

  [13:06.86]Handshaking can occur

  [13:07.63]within the bounds of personal distance.

  [13:10.20]OK, let's move onto the third type of personal distance,

  [13:14.00]social distance, which covers the range from 1.2m to 3.6m.

  [13:20.11]This is the normal distance for impersonal business,

  [13:22.85]for example working together in the same room

  [13:25.18]or during social gatherings.

  [13:27.66]Seating is also important;

  [13:29.44]communication is far more likely to be considered

  [13:32.12]as a formal relationship

  [13:33.84]if the interaction is carried out across a desk.

  [13:37.48]In addition, if the seating arrangements are such

  [13:40.19]that one person appears to look down on another,

  [13:43.68]an effect of domination may be created.

  [13:46.48]At a social distance, speech needs to be louder

  [13:49.93]and eye contact remains essential to communication,

  [13:52.90]otherwise feedback will be reduced

  [13:55.55]and the interaction may end.

  [13:57.48]Finally, the last type of personal distance is public distance,

  [14:02.31]which ranges from 3.7m to 4.5m.

  [14:06.41]Teachers and public speakers

  [14:08.20]address groups at a public distance.

  [14:10.74]At such distances exaggerated non-verbal communication

  [14:14.62]is necessary for communication to be effective.

  [14:17.71]Subtle facial expressions are lost at this distance,

  [14:21.00]so clear hand gestures are often used as a substitute.

  [14:25.39]Larger head movements

  [14:26.68]are also typical of an experienced public speaker

  [14:29.91]who is aware of changes in the way body language

  [14:32.39]is perceived at longer distances.

  [14:35.24]OK, today we've taken a brief look

  [14:37.91]at the four personal distances

  [14:39.84]associated with four main types of relationship.

  [14:43.27]It is worth noting that these distances

  [14:45.49]are considered the norm in Western society.

  [14:48.34]Understanding these distances

  [14:50.76]allows us to approach others

  [14:52.63]in non-threatening and appropriate ways.

  [14:55.01]We can understand how others feel about us,

  [14:57.65]how they view the relationship and, if appropriate,

  [15:00.98]adjust our behaviour accordingly.

  [15:05.23]NOW you have TWO minutes to complete your work.

  [17:09.47]This is the end of Section A Talk

  [17:14.15]SECTION B CONVERSATIONS

  [17:17.43]In this section you will hear two conversations.

  [17:21.02]At the end of each conversation,

  [17:23.55]five questions will be asked about what was said.

  [17:28.10]Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken ONCE ONLY.

  [17:33.93]After each question there will be a ten-second pause.

  [17:38.21]During the pause, you should read the four choices of A, B, C and D,

  [17:45.69]and mark the best answer to each question on ANSWER SHEET TWO.

  [17:51.86]You have thirty seconds to preview the questions.

  [18:26.20]Now, listen to the conversations.

  [18:29.59]Conversation One

  [18:32.05]W: Good afternoon, Mr. White.

  [18:34.64]You are in my American History 201 class, right?

  [18:38.58]How can I help you today?

  [18:41.13]M: It's about my term paper.

  [18:43.02]I know it's due next Monday, but I was hoping...

  [18:46.40]I don't think I can get it done by then.

  [18:48.77]Could I please turn it in

  [18:50.11]by the end of next week instead?

  [18:52.11]I have a really good excuse.

  [18:54.58]W: Oh, I'm sure you do!

  [18:57.10]I've been teaching 33 years.

  [18:59.78]Do you know how many excuses I've heard?

  [19:02.40]"My dog ate my paper."

  [19:04.33]"My roommate had a party so I couldn't concentrate."

  [19:07.70]"I have seven papers due on the same day!"

  [19:10.43]"I went home to see my parents and my car broke down."

  [19:13.89]My favorite was a student who told me

  [19:16.73]she "forgot" all about her term paper

  [19:19.52]until the day before it was due.

  [19:22.05]It's amazing she remembered to come to class.

  [19:25.38]M: I didn't forget, madam.

  [19:27.71]I've been working on the paper, really!

  [19:29.98]Here, I brought my outline and a rough draft.

  [19:33.27]It's just that...

  [19:34.34]Well, a lot of things have been going on in my life,

  [19:37.53]and I'm having trouble managing things.

  [19:40.96]W: I see.

  [19:42.59]You know, I assigned that paper four weeks ago,

  [19:45.26]and I've been reminding students about it in each class.

  [19:49.45]So, tell me your story.

  [19:51.22]What's happening in your life?

  [19:53.75]M: First, about two weeks ago,

  [19:55.62]my roommate found out his mother was real sick.

  [19:58.72]So he's been really upset, and, uh,well,

  [20:01.57]I went home with him for a couple of days to see his mom.

  [20:04.65]That caused me to miss biology lab,

  [20:07.65]and I have a huge biology final coming up on Tuesday

  [20:11.51]that I really need to study for this weekend.

  [20:13.94]Then I got the flu last week, and missed a day of class.

  [20:18.23]I tried to work on your paper that day,

  [20:20.50]but I really felt horrible...

  [20:22.93]W: OK, I can understand that.

  [20:26.36]I'm glad that you're helping your roommate

  [20:28.44]through a tough time.

  [20:29.80]That's more important than school work.

  [20:32.13]But all this seems to have happened recently.

  [20:35.67]What about the two weeks

  [20:37.50]after I first assigned the term paper?

  [20:40.16]M: I guess I didn't use that time very well.

  [20:43.51]I kind of put off getting started on it.

  [20:45.94]W: Yes, you did. You know,

  [20:48.42]if I had a dollar for every time

  [20:50.82]I've heard a student say that...

  [20:52.77]M: I'm sorry, Professor.

  [20:54.78]I've learned my lesson.

  [20:56.29]If I had spent just a little bit of time

  [20:58.92]each week on the paper,

  [21:00.09]I could have had it done on time.

  [21:02.48]I know now that I need to plan for unexpected things.

  [21:06.06]W: You seem like a bright,

  [21:07.42]conscientious young man.

  [21:09.60]So I'll tell you what.

  [21:11.36]This time you can turn in your paper

  [21:14.32]no later than 9 a.m.Friday,

  [21:17.55]right here on my office desk.

  [21:20.02]M: Thank you, Professor! You bet I will.

  [21:23.52]This is the end of Conversation One.

  [21:25.94]Questions 1-5 are based on Conversation One.

  [21:30.90]1. Why does the man visit the woman?

  [21:45.82]2. What is the man's excuse?

  [21:59.51]3. According to the man, what happened to his roommate?

  [22:15.20]4. What lesson has the man learned from talking to the woman?

  [22:31.15]5. What does the woman think of the man?

  [22:45.90]Conversation Two

  [22:48.19]M: Hi! Welcome to WebWare. Sit down please.

  [22:52.17]W: Thanks, nice to see you again.

  [22:54.80]M: You too.

  [22:56.52]So, you said you wanted to come in

  [22:58.80]and have a chat with me before you start your work here.

  [23:01.98]Tell me about it.

  [23:03.65]W: Yeah, I just want to have a look round

  [23:05.94]and ask a few more questions.

  [23:08.36]I'm wondering whether it is okay for me to do so.

  [23:11.78]M: Of course, just fire away with your questions!

  [23:15.62]W: Well, first of all, I was surprised

  [23:18.04]when I received the e-mail about the offer.

  [23:20.83]Thank you for trusting me,

  [23:22.14]and I am delighted to receive the job offer...

  [23:25.68]M: Good! And we are delighted to offer it to you.

  [23:29.01]W: But... before I sign the contract

  [23:31.81]there are one or two specifics I want to talk about.

  [23:35.95]M: Ok... "specifics"?

  [23:38.29]Tell me what they are.

  [23:40.35]W: Well. I read from your last e-mail that there is a pay scale,

  [23:45.00]instead of a fixed salary. Is that right?

  [23:47.99]M: Yes, you're quite right about it.

  [23:51.07]As a new employee in our company,

  [23:52.64]you'd be at the lower end of the pay scale.

  [23:55.64]And of course, things get changed later

  [23:58.42]when you continuously bring contribution to the company.

  [24:02.31]W: But taking my experience into account...

  [24:05.39]M: Well, you haven't had that much experience--

  [24:08.04]we see you as an investment...

  [24:11.41]W: But that salary would only be

  [24:12.75]a little more than I'm making now.

  [24:15.60]So, instead of asking for a higher level on the pay scale,

  [24:19.19]I thought this could be compensated

  [24:21.11]by adding certain bonuses,

  [24:23.54]for instance if I make certain sales targets,

  [24:26.32]or even break them,

  [24:28.76]I would be looking for a good cash payment,

  [24:31.08]or stock options in the company.

  [24:33.42]Would it be possible?

  [24:35.45]M: Well, that is something

  [24:37.23]we sometimes offer to senior members of staff,

  [24:40.36]but to show good faith

  [24:41.87]I'll provisionally offer you the bonus scheme,

  [24:45.02]but I'll have to okay it with Philip first.

  [24:47.93]W: That's fine.

  [24:49.24]One more thing, I also see there are 25 days holiday.

  [24:53.95]M: Yes. That's standard.

  [24:56.94]W: It's not very much for a high pressure job though...

  [25:00.88]M: I'm sorry I can't offer you any more holiday.

  [25:03.81]Only the staff who work here for over three years

  [25:08.00]can get extra days,

  [25:09.81]so you will get more holiday

  [25:11.39]after you work here for a longer time.

  [25:14.14]W: No, I don't mean that.

  [25:15.76]But I was wondering if I could delay the start date--

  [25:19.01]so instead of starting a week from now,

  [25:21.43]as we discussed, I could start in a month's time?

  [25:25.16]M: You're a tough negotiator, Madison!

  [25:28.16]W: That's one of the reasons you hired me!

  [25:31.05]M: Yes, of course. Okay, I think we can do that.

  [25:34.85]I'll look forward to seeing you in a month,

  [25:36.82]and earning those bonuses!

  [25:40.21]This is the end of Conversation Two.

  [25:43.03]Questions 6-10 are based on Conversation Two.

  [25:47.58]6. Why does the woman go to see the man?

  [26:02.69]7. What does the man say about the pay scale in his company?

  [26:18.34]8. What requirement does the woman make about the salary?

  [26:33.48]9. What is the holiday policy in the company?

  [26:48.38]10. What does the man think of the woman?

  [27:02.35]This is the end of Part Two Listening Comprehension.
