next weekend.

敢为天下先

Q: What is David going to do this weekend?

2. Woman: Dr. Brown's Clinic. Can I help you?

Man: I'll come tomorrow afternoon.

Q: What time is the appointment?

Woman: The front stalls and the circle are the most expensive at $ 16.50. The middle seats in the stalls cost $ 15 and the back three rows cost $ 12.50, but the view isn't so good. All seats are $ 10 for students.

Man: I'll have one in the middle, please. I'm not a student. I've got my credit card here.

Q: How much is the man's ticket?

5. Woman: Hi!Have you had a busy day at the office?

Q: Why was the man late home?

6. Woman: It's a bit crowded isn't it... worse than a football match!Can you see well enough from here?

Man: It doesn't matter - as long as I can hear and get down the important points of what he says, it's OK.

Question: How many British students joined the University Boat Race?

Czech officials have declared a state of emergency in several areas, and in the historic city of Olomouc, 250 kilometers east of Prague, thousands of people had to be evacuated.

Question: In which country have several people died because of the flood?

14. I was so touched by the way the people in London took to that animal and cheered it on. I just feel bitterly disappointed that we couldn't give them the result that they wanted. I feel that perhaps we got the result, hopefully, that the whale needed, and that's probably more important.

16. Ukrainian politicians claim there are political motives behind the price rise originally demanded by the Russian energy giant Gazprom. They say Russia is offering much more favourable terms to other former Soviet Republics. Russian officials insist it's a purely commercial matter.

Question: Which countries are having talks over gas prices?

17. Britain's Labour government is having a difficult week. The government wants to ban smoking in indoor public places, including restaurants and other places of entertainment.

Question: What does the British government want to do?

18. A crowd of some 35,000, including U.S. First Lady Laura Bush and Italian film legend Sophia Loren, filled the Olympic Stadium. More than 4,700 performers, including fast-moving skaters with fiery rocket packs, dancers and even dancing cows opened the festivities.

Question: What is the passage mainly talking about?

20. The United States National Weather Service says that this huge winter storm has dumped some 68.3 centimetres of snow in Central Park, making it the worst blizzard to hit New York City since records began in 1869.

赛马不相马

Passage One

敢为天下先

I have four small children, three girls and one boy. I don't go out very much because it's hard for me to find someone to look after them. Any time I do go out, I have to find a baby sitter. It's not easy for me to find a baby sitter because we have just moved here. Since we're new in town, I don't know very many people yet.

Well, one Friday morning I looked in my purse and found that I had only two dollars left. I still had to do that week's grocery shopping. There was nothing else I could do; I had to go to the bank. I hoped that Rachel, my next-door neighbor, could come and baby-sit for me, but she wasn't home. So after the children were all dressed, off we went to the bank.

After we'd all got into the car, I tried to relax a little as I drove to the bank. The children were very noisy from the start. They were yelling and crying and picking on each other. By the time we arrived at the bank, I was very angry.

The bank was very crowded. I don't think I'd ever seen so many people there at once. I think, since it was the end of the month, it was payday for most people.

Anyway, the children were still acting up, and I was still pretty angry with them. I turned around to try to keep them quiet and shouted, “Stand against the wall and don't say a word!” Everyone in the whole bank stopped talking. They thought it was a hold-up.

敢为天下先

Questions 21 to 24 are based on the psssage you have just heard.

22. Why couldn't Rachel, her next-door neighbor, baby-sit for her?

23. How did the woman feel when she arrived at the bank?

24. What happened when the woman shouted at her children?

Passage Two

You will hear an announcement about what's on television tomorrow.

Man: And that's the weather forecast. And now we know what the weather's going to be like, let's have a look at what we've got for you tomorrow on TV31. Most of the morning is taken up with children's television. As it's Saturday, we've got programmes for children from the under fives to teenagers. We start the day at 7:00 with cartoons and programmes for the very young. These go on until 9:00 when we have a film specially made for television called ‘The Railway Princess'. It was first shown about six months ago and we've had lots of requests to show it again. The film is based on Jenny Johnson's best-selling children's book. Then from 10:30 until 12:00, we continue with a magazine programme for 5 to 12 year-olds. There's something for everyone - animals, art, sport, the countryside. At lunchtime, from 12:00 till 2:00, we have something for teenagers - ‘Here and

of last week's competition.

敢为天下先

Now' - our music programme with all the latest groups and singers, and the results

After lunch there's half an hour of news and that's followed at 2:30 by sport. This afternoon you can watch the match between Brazil and Ireland, the winner of that match will go on to play Italy or Spain in the final next week.

Football is followed at 4 o'clock by tennis. We'll be watching part of the Macmillan Tennis Tournament. If the tennis is cancelled because of rain we'll be going over early to Japan to see some of the skiing. Let's hope Angus Burns has recovered from yesterday's fall. At 5 o'clock we'll be bringing you the end of the Round Britain Cycle Race.

At 6 o'clock it's time for our new quiz programme ‘Your guess is as good as mine' with Nigel Parsons. Each team is shown pictures of people who were in the news in one particular year, or important things that happened in that year. The teams guess when that was.

That's followed by more news and at 7:00 it's time for our Saturday evening film ‘I Could Live Forever', a sad story with a happy ending. You'll recognize the songs, made famous by the film and sung by Julia Jones. And of course there's some wonderful dancing.

Questions 25 to 30 are based on the psssage you have just heard.
