Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.

Section B Passages

For more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming home to an empty house. Some deal with the situation by watching TV. Some may hang outside. But all of them have something in common. They spend part of each day alone. They are called latchkey children. They’re children who look after themselves while their parents work. And their condition has become a subject of concern.

A headmaster of an elementary school said that there was a school role against wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached. He was constantly telling them to put them inside shirts. There were so many keys. Slowly, he learned they were house keys.

He began talking to the children who had them. Then he learned of the impact working couples and single parent were having on their children. Fear is the biggest problem faced by children at home alone. Many had nightmares and were worded about their own safety.

The most common way latchkey children deal with them is by hiding. It might be in a bathroom, under a bed or in a closet. The second is TV. They’ll often play it at high volume. Most parents don’t realize the effect on their children when they leave their children alone.

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following news.

 You don’t need millions to be happy. In fact, a couple of hundred dollars may be enough at The Happiness Institute in Australia. The institute opened its doors last year, and, since then, men and women of all ages have been paying for lessons on how to be happy.

Experts say that only about 15 percent of happiness comes from income and other financial factors. As much as 85 percent comes from things such as attitude, life control and relationships. Most of us are significantly wealthy financially than our parents, but happiness levels havn’t changed to reflect that.

Studies show that once the basic needs of shelter and food are met, additional wealth adds very little to happiness. Part of the reason we are richer but not happier is because we compare ourselves to people better off materially. So if you want to be happy there’s a very simple thing you can do: Compare yourself to people who are less wealthy than you---poorer, with a smaller house and car.

The Happiness Institute aims to show you how to overcome these unhappiness factors by focusing on “more than just your bank account.” Don’t compare yourself to Bill Gates, but compare yourself to Kerry Packer, Australis’s richest person who has had a kidney transplant and heart surgery in recent years.

Section C Longer Conversations

W: John, it’s 7:30. I wonder how late they’re going to be.
 M: Oh, you know Terry and Susan. They never arrive on time. They always complain about the heavy traffic on the way.
W: Yes, but they said they were taking the subway so they wouldn’t get stuck in traffic.
M. Why don’t you give them a call and see if they’ve left? Maybe they forgot about the invitation.
W: They couldn’t have forgotten about it. I was just talking to Susan last night.
M: Anyway, it is better to give them a call.
W: OK, let me see. Their number is 2143556. No answer. They must have already left.
M: Yeah, don’t worry. I’m sure they’ll be here in a few minutes.
W: I hope so.   (Now listen again, please)   Complete the form. Write ONE WORD for each answer.                                                                                                                    
M: Hi, Joe. How are your finals going?
W: Oh, hi, Bernard, I’ve just finished my last exam this morning.

 M: Great. Now, you need to relax. I’ve got two tickets for the new modem art exhibition in the city center. Do you want to go with me?
W: I don’t know anything about modem art. I’m not an artist.
 M: You don’t have to be an artist to enjoy a good art show. Besides, at least it’s something different from learning.
W: You are right. Have you seen this exhibition yet?
 M: No, but I have heard that it is great. The exhibition was in New York last summer, and in Chicago after that. And next week it will go to Boston.
W: Well, it ought to be good then.
 M: Besides, next door to the modem art museum is a new European art museum. Shall we go there as well?
W: OK, I’ll go with you. Do you want to go tomorrow morning?
M: If you have time, I’m ready.
