  [00:32.52]For the second and third readings,

  [00:59.17]Old Age

  [01:01.21]Many people mistakenly believe that

  [01:04.35]old age is a time of increased illness and loneliness.

  [01:08.91]In fact, people do not suddenly change

  [01:12.55]when they reach the age of 60 or 65.

  [01:16.39]Furthermore, although more parents and their married children

  [01:21.28]live in separate households than ever before,

  [01:24.60]this is usually by choice.

  [01:28.19]It is also wrong to believe

  [01:30.42]that old age seriously affects a person's mental abilities.

  [01:34.65]There is clear proof

  [01:37.10]that people who were eager to learn

  [01:39.27]and who welcomed new experiences in their middle age,

  [01:42.55]continue to do so in old age.

  [09:15.02]Now you have 1 minute to check through your work.

  [10:18.90]That is the end of PART I Dictation.

  [10:21.98]Part Two Listening Comprehension

  [10:26.43]SECTION A TALK

  [10:29.43]In this section you will hear a talk.

  [10:32.56]You will hear the talk ONCE ONLY.

  [10:35.09]While listening, you may look at ANSWER SHEET ONE

  [10:39.43]and write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each gap.

  [10:43.92]Make sure the word(s) you fill in is (are) both

  [10:48.98]grammatically and semantically acceptable.

  [10:52.54]You may use the blank sheet for note-taking.

  [10:56.22]You have THIRTY seconds to preview the gap-filling task.

  [11:32.52]Now listen to the talk.

  [11:33.85]When it is over, you will be given TWO minutes to complete your work.

  [11:38.82]Basics about Spring Break Safety

  [11:43.79]Spring break, or spring vocation,

  [11:46.64]is a vocational period in early spring at universities

  [11:50.99]and schools in various countries in the world.

  [11:54.33]It's a good time to travel with other students.

  [11:57.11]I've come up with some ways that you can stay safe

  [12:00.67]and have a happy Spring Break!

  [12:03.22]First, travel safety.

  [12:06.06]Make sure that whoever will be driving has a valid driver's license.

  [12:11.27]In fact, make sure that everyone does.

  [12:14.33]Plans can change on a moment's notice.

  [12:17.16]Make sure you are aware of exactly

  [12:20.30]how to get to your destination

  [12:22.22]and how to get back.

  [12:24.35]Whoever sits in the passenger's seat

  [12:27.02]should try to stay awake

  [12:28.56]to keep the driver company.

  [12:30.64]This is especially true

  [12:32.33]if you'll be driving at night.

  [12:34.45]Falling asleep can be kind of a contagious thing...

  [12:38.45]have you ever noticed that watching someone else doze off

  [12:41.70]often makes you more tired?

  [12:43.95]Accidents are very easily caused

  [12:46.34]by the driver falling asleep at the wheel.

  [12:49.35]If you'll be traveling out of the country,

  [12:51.94]you'll need a passport and possibly a visa.

  [12:55.47]Make sure that you know exactly what documents you'll need.

  [12:59.71]Believe me; travel documents do not arrive quickly,

  [13:03.85]so make sure that you put your application

  [13:06.49]in about six months in advance.

  [13:09.42]Just make sure to give yourself plenty of time.

  [13:13.05]Second, money safety.

  [13:16.34]If you can,

  [13:17.03]always use the ATM at the hotel where you'll be staying.

  [13:21.52]If there isn't one available there,

  [13:23.80]always choose one in a well-lit location

  [13:26.70]and go with a group.

  [13:28.46]Take a complete 360 degree look at your surroundings

  [13:33.00]before you use the ATM.

  [13:35.67]If someone is creeping you out,

  [13:37.95]use a different machine.

  [13:39.92]Don't ignore your gut instincts.

  [13:43.03]Also, I know you've heard this a million times,

  [13:46.71]but always cover your password while you type it in!

  [13:50.95]Make sure you check your bank account regularly.

  [13:55.50]You never know who may be lurking nearby

  [13:58.05]waiting to try to take advantage of students.

  [14:01.56]Check all the charges on your statement for legitimacy.

  [14:06.21]If you're going to be traveling overseas,

  [14:08.73]tell your bank at home where you'll be going.

  [14:12.01]If you don't, they may see foreign charges

  [14:15.40]and shut down your card,

  [14:17.03]which leaves you in another country with no money.

  [14:20.36]This can happen even if you're traveling within the country.

  [14:24.62]Just make sure to stop by the bank before you leave.

  [14:28.37]Third, valuables and documents safety.

  [14:32.72]Don't wear or bring a lot of flashy luxury items.

  [14:37.28]Especially overseas,

  [14:39.44]lots of jewelry and expensive things attract attention

  [14:43.34]when it's better for you to keep a low profile.

  [14:46.62]Anything valuable should be locked in a hotel safe during the day,

  [14:51.21]and the door to your room should most definitely be locked at night.

  [14:55.52]Don't tell anyone who isn't in your group your room number.

  [14:59.86]If you'll be out of the country,

  [15:01.98]try to get a passport holder

  [15:04.17]which will hang around your neck under your clothes

  [15:07.16]for your travel documents and cash.

  [15:09.42]Keep it on you at all times.

  [15:11.99]Even in the country or in "safe" places,

  [15:15.46]keep an eye on your purse.

  [15:17.43]Never leave it unattended.

  [15:19.49]Lastly, remember all these things

  [15:22.82]and enjoy your spring break! Thank you.

  [15:27.06]NOW you have TWO minutes to complete your work.

  [17:31.21]This is the end of Section A talk

  [17:34.80]SECTION B CONVERSATIONS

  [17:39.04]In this section you will hear two conversations.

  [17:42.55]At the end of each conversation,

  [17:45.36]five questions will be asked about what was said.

  [17:49.06]Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken ONCE ONLY.

  [17:54.96]After each question there will be a ten-second pause.

  [17:59.61]During the pause, you should read the four choices of A, B, C and D,

  [18:07.08]and mark the best answer to each question on ANSWER SHEET TWO.

  [18:12.70]You have thirty seconds to preview the questions.

  [18:48.39]Now, listen to the conversations.

  [18:50.87]Conversation One

  [18:53.31]W: Excuse me.

  [18:55.34]M: Yes?

  [18:56.56]W: Hello. I'm, uh, I'm taking a student survey

  [19:00.40]as a part of my Sociology course,

  [19:02.62]and, I wonder if I could ask you a few questions?

  [19:06.42]M: Uh... well, how long will it take?

  [19:09.44]W: Oh, only about three minutes. Do you have time?

  [19:13.64]M: Hmm. Yes, I guess so.

  [19:16.07]W: Thanks. This is a student survey in partial fulfillment

  [19:21.07]of the requirements for Sociology 117.

  [19:24.76]It's anonymous. This survey constitutes research data for the topic

  [19:29.96]"The Relation of Student Alcohol Consumption

  [19:33.16]to Student Attendance and Grade Point Average".

  [19:36.91]My name is Nancy Puzzio.

  [19:39.77]Question one:

  [19:39.99]What is your age?

  [19:41.71]M: I'm nineteen.

  [19:43.53]W: And your year at BSU?

  [19:46.17]M: Third year. I graduate at the end of next academic year.

  [19:50.30]W: Do you drink alcohol at all?

  [19:52.77]M: Yes, Sometimes.

  [19:54.89]W: Have you been drinking alcohol since you turned eighteen,

  [19:59.26]the legal drinking age?

  [20:00.74]M: Yes. I started on my eighteenth birthday,as a matter of fact.

  [20:05.84]W: How often do you consume alcoholic beverages?

  [20:09.26]M: Oh, um... maybe once or twice a week, average.

  [20:13.72]W: And what is your beverage of choice?

  [20:16.61]M: Oh, I drink beer usually. Occasionally wine.

  [20:20.45]I don't like, uh, um, hard liquor.

  [20:23.60]W: And would that be on regular days

  [20:26.06]--weekends, for example?

  [20:28.06]M: Yes, that's right. Friday night,

  [20:30.18]or Saturday night. Sometimes both.

  [20:33.16]W: And for which of the following reasons would you say you primarily drink alcohol?

  [20:38.77]A--stress.

  [20:40.43]B--pleasure.

  [20:42.41]C--socialization.

  [20:44.87]D--habit?

  [20:47.37]M: Can I choose more than one?

  [20:49.34]W: Yes.

  [20:50.56]M: Then, I guess I'd say for pleasure, mostly,

  [20:54.11]and to relieve stress?

  [20:55.83]Stress. For relaxation, really

  [20:59.18]--after a week of classes and studying, it's relaxing.

  [21:02.25]W: And... you ever consume sufficient alcohol

  [21:05.98]to feel its aftereffects the following day?

  [21:08.86]M: You mean, do I ever have a hangover?

  [21:11.64]No. Well, very rarely.

  [21:14.46]Sometimes after a party.

  [21:16.64]W: How often would you say you attend parties

  [21:19.31]where alcoholic beverages are served?

  [21:21.69]M: Hmm. Maybe once in two or three months.Not often.

  [21:26.54]Sometimes I get invited to a fraternity party or something,

  [21:30.13]but not very often.

  [21:31.66]W: Has the consumption of alcohol ever affected your class attendance

  [21:36.13]or your ability to study?

  [21:37.90]M: No.

  [21:39.17]W: Has the consumption of alcohol ever restricted your study

  [21:43.06]or preparation time?

  [21:45.03]M: No, not really.

  [21:46.59]I think it's more important for good study habits

  [21:49.43]to have that relaxation time available, you know?

  [21:52.70]W: Have your study habits or class attendance

  [21:55.69]changed significantly during your time at BSU?

  [21:59.17]M: No, not really.

  [22:01.20]I may be preparing a little more now.

  [22:03.67]My courses are harder,

  [22:05.08]and I'm more concerned about grades now.

  [22:07.46]W: What is your current GPA?

  [22:09.79]M: 3.8.

  [22:11.51]W: Oh! That's great! Well, thank you for your time.

  [22:16.15]This is the end of the survey. Have a nice day.

  [22:19.69]M: You, too. And good luck on your paper.

  [22:22.47]W: Thanks! Bye.

  [22:25.20]This is the end of Conversation One.

  [22:27.72]Questions 1-5 are based on Conversation One.

  [22:31.88]1. What do we learn about the student survey?

  [22:47.13]2. What do we learn about the man from the conversation?

  [23:02.30]3. What does the man drink mostly?

  [23:15.66]4. What is the major reason for the man to drink?

  [23:30.30]5. How does drinking affect the man's study?

  [23:44.19]Conversation Two

  [23:45.91]W: Hi. How can I help you?

  [23:49.20]M: Yeah. I'd like to rent a mid-size car for three days.

  [23:53.39]W: Okay. Let me check to see if we have one available.

  [23:58.30]Hmm. It doesn't look like we do.

  [24:01.43]We have a couple of economy, compact,and full-size cars available,

  [24:06.53]or a nice minivan.

  [24:08.81]M: What is the main difference between these cars?

  [24:11.69]W: The main difference is size.

  [24:14.21]How many people are with you?

  [24:16.90]M: Just me and my son.

  [24:18.73]W: Well, the economy car would work.

  [24:21.92]We have one right out front.

  [24:24.00]M: Where? That one?

  [24:25.89]It looks more like a shoebox to me.

  [24:28.40]I'm really tall and trying to squeeze into that thing...

  [24:32.04]I don't think so.

  [24:33.40]W: Well, if you need more room or comfort,

  [24:36.13]I recommend the full-size car.

  [24:38.52]M: And what is the daily rate for that anyway?

  [24:41.56]W: Let's see here...

  [24:43.84]It'll come to $57.95 a day.

  [24:48.18]M: Wow, a little expensive.

  [24:50.56]But what's the cost for mileage?

  [24:52.83]W: All of our cars have unlimited miles,

  [24:55.83]but of course, that doesn't include gas.

  [24:58.95]M: Yeah, right. I bet that car probably eats up gas,

  [25:03.13]and now that we're in the middle of the vacation season,

  [25:05.71]gas stations are gouging consumers

  [25:08.50]with astronomical prices.

  [25:10.78]W: Well, as they say,

  [25:12.81]it comes down to the law of supply and demand.

  [25:16.59]M: Anyway, can you install a car seat in one of those cars?

  [25:20.59]I have a 3-year-old son with me.

  [25:22.95]W: Sure, and that'll only be $1 extra per day.

  [25:27.65]M: I'll go with the full-size car.

  [25:30.22]W: Okay. Would you like to purchase our daily car protection plan?

  [25:35.33]M: What's that exactly?

  [25:37.45]W: Well, the car protection plan is a complete insurance package

  [25:41.32]covering damage to the vehicle,

  [25:43.14]injury or loss of life to you or your passengers.

  [25:47.00]M: Oh..Well...

  [25:49.07]W: However, it won't cover loss of property due to theft.

  [25:53.27]Too much crime in the area anyway.

  [25:55.89]M: How much is the protection plan?

  [25:58.12]W: It is only $17.95 per day.

  [26:02.45]And the nicest thing about this coverage

  [26:05.08]is that you can rent the car without the worry and hassle

  [26:08.40]of making a complicated claim

  [26:10.58]in case you do have a problem.

  [26:12.85]M: But wouldn't my own car insurance cover those problems?

  [26:16.85]W: It might, but each insurance policy is different.

  [26:21.11]With our car protection plan, however,

  [26:23.28]you deal directly with us in case there is a problem

  [26:27.12]and we handle everything quickly,

  [26:29.24]and you don't have to contact your own insurance company.

  [26:32.57]M: Okay. I'll take it.

  [26:34.60]W: Let me just confirm this.

  [26:37.02]A full-size car with a car seat for three days,

  [26:40.51]plus the car protection package.

  [26:42.84]Is that right?

  [26:44.10]M: Yes. That's it.

  [26:46.27]This is the end of Conversation Two.

  [26:49.50]Questions 6-10 are based on Conversation Two.

  [26:53.65]6. What does the man think of the economy car?

  [27:09.83]7. Why is the gas price so high according to the man?

  [27:25.10]8. What do we learn about the car protection plan?

  [27:40.54]9. How much is the car protection plan?

  [27:54.83]10. What kind of car does the man finally rent?

  [28:10.06]This is the end of Part Two Listening Comprehension.
