　　[10:05.31]Now you have 1 minute to check through your work.

　　[11:08.76]That is the end of PART I Dictation.

　　[11:13.04]Part Two Listening Comprehension

　　[11:17.03]SECTION A TALK

　　[11:20.13]In this section you will hear a talk.

　　[11:23.36]You will hear the talk ONCE ONLY.

　　[11:26.09]While listening, you may look at ANSWER SHEET ONE

　　[11:30.14]and write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each gap.

　　[11:34.53]Make sure the word(s) you fill in is (are) both

　　[11:39.75]grammatically and semantically acceptable.

　　[11:43.29]You may use the blank sheet for note-taking.

　　[11:46.92]You have THIRTY seconds to preview the gap-filling task.

　　[12:22.86]Now listen to the talk.

　　[12:24.74]When it is over, you will be given TWO minutes to complete your work.

　　[12:30.14]Slow Down Your Pace of Life

　　[12:33.88]Do you often feel that you could never catch up with the pace of work,

　　[12:37.78]life, and others?

　　[12:39.35]Are you constantly stressed out?

　　[12:41.45]Do you have sleeping problems?

　　[12:43.17]If so, you are very likely to be suffering from

　　[12:46.52]the enormous pressure generated by the fast-paced modern life.

　　[12:51.18]It is time to slow down.

　　[12:54.11]First, put your phone away.

　　[12:56.29]Nothing will distract you and keep you unfocused

　　[12:59.40]more than checking your telephone for messages every two minutes.

　　[13:02.65]Texts, emails, Facebook updates and other little messages

　　[13:07.20]will be just as compelling an hour from now.

　　[13:10.63]When you're with friends or family,

　　[13:12.47]put your phone on silent and keep it tucked away somewhere.

　　[13:15.92]Better yet, keep it in the car.

　　[13:17.75]Don't look at it.

　　[13:19.15]Make a rule at your next get-together

　　[13:21.49]that the first person to check their phone pay for drinks.

　　[13:25.33]Increasingly, people are experiencing a phenomenon known as FOMO:

　　[13:30.72]the fear of missing out.

　　[13:32.33]F-O-M-O.

　　[13:34.27]What if you don't get that status update before everyone else?

　　[13:38.43]What if someone beats you to a witty comment stream message?

　　[13:41.45]What if your crush texts and you can't respond right away?

　　[13:45.24]Don't let "convenient" technology create complicated stress in your life.

　　[13:51.28]Be willing to miss out momentarily

　　[13:53.47]to enjoy the moment you're experiencing in the real world.

　　[13:57.21]Then, you need to leave your work at work.

　　[14:01.11]Don't let the complication of your work day

　　[14:03.67]mess up you after work life.

　　[14:06.04]Don't bring any work back to the house to complete later

　　[14:09.05]--stay until you can finish for the day.

　　[14:12.37]If you're feeling stressed out after a work day,

　　[14:14.58]do something relaxing the minute you get home.

　　[14:17.41]So you don't have to burden your housemates

　　[14:20.02]with complaints about the day.

　　[14:21.88]Don't spread the complicated stress around.

　　[14:24.71]Cut down your hours as much as you can afford to,

　　[14:28.41]if your job is a significant source

　　[14:30.59]of complication in your life.

　　[14:31.93]If you want to simplify,

　　[14:34.46]cutting back on work is one of the easiest ways to do it.

　　[14:38.03]Stop working weekends.

　　[14:39.95]Even if you love your work,

　　[14:41.94]dragging work into your weekends

　　[14:44.23]starts unbalancing the proportion in your life.

　　[14:47.39]You might not feel it right now, but eventually,

　　[14:50.19]this will lead to burn out and/or passion reduction.

　　[14:54.26]Block off every weekend for the next six months.

　　[14:58.04]Not a single one of those weekends can include work from now on.

　　[15:01.85]Last but not least, do one thing at a time.

　　[15:06.14]Multi-tasking should be avoided, if possible.

　　[15:09.32]It is a myth that a person can focus on more than one thing

　　[15:13.14]and do so well.

　　[15:14.68]While sometimes you have to, or want to,

　　[15:17.85]one at a time should be your ideal.

　　[15:20.29]Focus on doing the best possible (or "good enough") job at this moment.

　　[15:25.87]Appreciate what you are doing,

　　[15:27.84]even if it is something mundane.

　　[15:30.00]Washing the dishes can be pleasurable,

　　[15:32.76]if you reflect on how the soapy water feels,

　　[15:35.65]your pleasure from your favorite teacup,

　　[15:38.13]and how good it feels to have clean dishes.

　　[15:40.91]Simplifying doesn't need to be complicated.

　　[15:44.13]You could start today.

　　[15:46.50]NOW you have TWO minutes to complete your work.

　　[17:51.14]This is the end of Section A talk

　　[17:55.65]SECTION B CONVERSATIONS

　　[17:59.31]In this section you will hear two conversations.

　　[18:02.95]At the end of each conversation,

　　[18:05.26]five questions will be asked about what was said.

　　[18:09.15]Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken ONCE ONLY.

　　[18:15.36]After each question there will be a ten-second pause.

　　[18:19.92]During the pause, you should read the four choices of A, B, C and D,

　　[18:27.28]and mark the best answer to each question on ANSWER SHEET TWO.

　　[18:32.89]You have thirty seconds to preview the questions.

　　[19:08.02]Now, listen to the conversations.

　　[19:11.19]Conversation One

　　[19:13.46]W: Hello.

　　[19:15.12]M: Hi. I'm calling about the ad for the apartment

　　[19:18.46]found in today's newspaper.

　　[19:20.28]W: Okay. What would you like to know?

　　[19:23.06]M: First of all, how big is it?

　　[19:25.64]W: It's a two-bedroom apartment with a living room,

　　[19:28.81]dining room and kitchen, and one bathroom.

　　[19:32.86]There's also a place for a washer and dryer.

　　[19:36.35]M: Okay, and how old is the apartment complex?

　　[19:40.24]W: Well, let's just say it has a lot of history.

　　[19:44.24]To be honest, my great grandfather built it during the 1960s,

　　[19:49.65]but it's a very sturdy and sound structure.

　　[19:53.10]M: Oh, and is the apartment furnished at all?

　　[19:56.28]W: Yeah. The apartment is partially furnished with a refrigerator,

　　[20:00.62]a stove, and a dishwasher.

　　[20:03.14]M: Okay. What's the rent?

　　[20:05.07]W: It's $650 a month.

　　[20:07.94]W: Wow. That is a little steep for me.

　　[20:11.31]M: But you could always split the cost with a roommate.

　　[20:14.80]M: Perhaps. Well, can I rent month-to-month,

　　[20:18.35]or do I have to sign a lease for a longer period of time?

　　[20:21.58]W: We require a 6-month commitment for the apartment,

　　[20:25.40]and if you cancel the agreement anytime during that period,

　　[20:29.21]you lose your deposit.

　　[20:31.15]M: Oh, and how much is the deposit?

　　[20:33.86]W: It's $400, and, of course,

　　[20:36.89]this money is used to repair damage

　　[20:39.79]or general wear and tear on our apartment,

　　[20:42.59]like the leaks in the roof.

　　[20:44.36]M: Do I get my deposit back after I move out?

　　[20:47.24]W: Generally speaking, we return the deposit,

　　[20:50.41]minus a small fee for, you know,

　　[20:53.07]cleaning the apartment for the next tenant,

　　[20:55.45]but if you trash the place,

　　[20:57.52]then don't expect to get anything back.

　　[20:59.84]M: Okay. Um... how close is the apartment to the university campus?

　　[21:05.22]W: It's about eight blocks from campus,

　　[21:07.93]but you can catch a number of busses right out in front.

　　[21:11.49]M: Okay, and one last question. Are pets allowed?

　　[21:15.88]W: Well, you can keep small pets like a hamster in a small cage,

　　[21:21.39]but we don't allow larger animals like dogs, cats, or snakes.

　　[21:26.39]Things like that.

　　[21:28.01]M: Well, I have a rat that I keep in a cage.

　　[21:31.84]Will that be okay?

　　[21:33.28]W: Well, as long as it doesn't escape,

　　[21:35.51]I guess that's okay.

　　[21:37.19]M: Is it possible for me to drop by

　　[21:39.51]and visit the apartment tomorrow morning?

　　[21:41.64]W: Sure, but just remember we rent the apartment on a first-come,

　　[21:46.26]first-serve basis,

　　[21:47.86]so there's no guarantee it'll still be available then.

　　[21:51.09]M: Okay. Thanks.

　　[21:53.26]Um... and where exactly is the apartment located?

　　[21:57.26]W: It's one block west of the waste water treatment plant.

　　[22:01.04]Call me again when you arrive.

　　[22:03.24]M: Alright, Thank you.

　　[22:05.01]I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.

　　[22:07.69]W: Bye.

　　[22:09.17]This is the end of Conversation One.

　　[22:11.75]Questions 1-5 are based on Conversation One.

　　[22:16.29]1. What kind of apartment does the man enquire about?

　　[22:31.71]2. What should the man do if he rents the woman's apartment?

　　[22:46.22]3. What is the deposit for according to the woman?

　　[23:00.64]4. In what condition will the man lose his deposit?

　　[23:15.73]5. Whom will the woman rent the apartment to?

　　[23:29.38]Conversation Two

　　[23:32.01]W: Sir, I'd like to report a theft.

　　[23:35.15]M: Okay. Can you tell me exactly what happened?

　　[23:38.65]The more details, the better.

　　[23:40.51]W: Well, I was walking home from work,

　　[23:43.34]enjoying the nature all around me...

　　[23:45.78]the birds, the frogs, the flowing stream...

　　[23:48.96]M: Okay... Okay... Could you please go straight to the point?

　　[23:52.79]Just tell me what happened.

　　[23:54.42]I mean, about the theft. For example,

　　[23:56.69]what time was it?

　　[23:58.55]W: I'm not quite sure. Probably 7:00 p.m...

　　[24:03.26]No, no, it should be 8:00.

　　[24:05.84]My mom called me at 7:45,

　　[24:07.87]and after about 15 minutes the whole thing just happened.

　　[24:12.07]M: Tell me what happened.

　　[24:13.72]W: I was going home

　　[24:15.40]and someone knocked me right off my feet,

　　[24:17.93]grabbed my stuff, and ran off through the trees.

　　[24:21.16]I was so surprised by the ordeal

　　[24:23.49]that I didn't go after the person.

　　[24:26.16]M: Where exactly were you at that time?

　　[24:28.91]W: I was walking through the park,

　　[24:31.19]quite near here.

　　[24:32.81]It is located between the subway station and my apartment.

　　[24:36.44]I walk through it every day

　　[24:38.52]and I've never encountered anything like that before!

　　[24:41.90]What a day for me!

　　[24:44.12]M: Can you describe the person?

　　[24:46.01]The height, the appearance, the dressing,

　　[24:48.35]anything that you can remember...

　　[24:50.22]W: Let me see...

　　[24:51.78]First, she's very tall.

　　[24:55.82]Almost 6 feet, I think.

　　[24:58.24]I've never seen a woman taller than her.

　　[25:00.76]M: Wait. You said a woman robbed you.

　　[25:04.00]W: Well, I'm not really sure.

　　[25:06.32]You see, the person was wearing a white and black polka dot dress,

　　[25:11.13]a light red sweater over it,

　　[25:13.31]and she or he was wearing a pair of sneakers.

　　[25:16.85]M: Humm. What else can you tell me?

　　[25:19.69]It is better for you provide as many details as possible, madam.

　　[25:24.01]W: Okay. Like I said, the person was about 6 feet tall,

　　[25:28.39]heavy build, with long wavy hair.

　　[25:31.10]She or he was probably in his or her late 30's.

　　[25:35.85]I didn't get a good look at the person's face.

　　[25:39.10]Everything just happened so quickly...

　　[25:42.27]but well... um...

　　[25:44.92]M: But what? Was there something else?

　　[25:47.80]W: Well, the person had a beard.

　　[25:50.18]Yeah, the person had a beard.

　　[25:52.73]M: Ah! What was, uh, taken... exactly?

　　[25:56.92]W: Well, just my left shoe.

　　[25:59.20]I carried a bag with me,

　　[26:01.32]and there are a cellphone and a wallet in it.

　　[26:04.50]But the person just grabbed my left shoe.

　　[26:07.23]Bizarre, isn't it?

　　[26:09.30]M: Ah. The "bearded woman" has struck again!

　　[26:12.83]W: The "bearded woman"?

　　[26:15.08]M: Yeah. It's this man who dresses up like a woman and,

　　[26:18.87]for some reason, removes the left shoe from his victims.

　　[26:22.80]He's really quite harmless, though,

　　[26:25.27]and he usually returns the shoe to the crime scene a couple of days later.

　　[26:29.51]W: He can keep my shoe,

　　[26:31.17]and I'll just take off my left shoe every time I walk through the park.

　　[26:35.78]This is the end of Conversation Two.

　　[26:38.41]Questions 6-10 are based on Conversation Two.

　　[26:42.45]6. Where does the conversation most probably take place?

　　[26:59.28]7. When did the theft happen?

　　[27:12.21]8. Why didn't the woman chase the theft?

　　[27:25.52]9. What do we learn about the theft according to the woman?

　　[27:40.82]10. What does the woman think of the whole event?

　　[27:54.25]This is the end of Part Two Listening Comprehension.
