A. Ever since the modern Olympic Games began in 1896, they’ve h ad their critics. Every form of competitive activity attracts trouble. But part of the aim of the Games, when they were first held in Ancient Greece, was to discourage war between states by engaging them in a friendlier kind of competition.
The spirit of competition in the Games does a lot of good getting people to forget their differences in a communal activity. Any competitor or spectator at the Games or in the Olympic Village will tell you that the atmosphere of friendship there is unforgettable, as i f the world were one big family.
These Games are the biggest international gathering of any kind in the world. Not only do they bring sportsmen together, but they unite a world public. Isn’t this a sufficient reason for continuing them? As long as the ma jority wants it, these Games will continue.

Dictation A:
The motion picture is a highly complex art form which combines many other arts. The filmmaker is a writer using language, a musician using music. He is a painter concerned with composition, light, and color. He is a sculptor moulding forms in space, a choreographer shaping human movement. With the camera as the major tool, the filmmaker recreates the external world. Using the camera and putting pieces of film together or separating the m in the editing process, the filmmaker powerfully controls time and space. A gunfight can become a ballet in slow motion. The act of climbing a short flight of stairs can be extended to seem
like an endless journey, and an airplane can be made to cross continents in seconds. In the theatrical film, the filmmaker uses these and many other artistic techniques to tell a story.
Not all films are made to tell stories or to be shown in theatres. Filmmakers can also use their craft for other purposes than to c reate a work of art and entertainment.

Where did the movies begin? It is often said that they are an American inven tion; but this is not entirely true. The motion picture has been the most international of the arts. At the end of the nineteenth century, inventors in France, England, and the United States were
among the dozens of men who were trying to develop ways of using photographs to create the effect of motion.
Soon after 1889, when the famous American inventor Thomas Edison first showed motion pictures through a device called the kinetoscope, other devices for the same purposes appeared all over the world. Edison had solved certain problems, making it possible for other inventors to develop their own devices. One other important contribution by Edison was the introduction of 35mm. as the international standard film width. When it became possible to use any 35mm machine for showing movies from any part of the world, the international trading of films began to take place.

Dictation A:
Specialists in marketing have studied how to make people buy more food in a supermarket. They do all kinds of things that you do not even notice. For example, the simple, ordinary food that everybody must buy, like bread, milk,, flour and vegetable oil, is spread all over the store. You have to walk by all the more interesting things in order to find
what you need. The more expensive food is in packages with bright-
coloured pictures. This food is placed at eye level so you see and want
to buy it. The things that you have to buy anyway are usually located on
a higher or lower shelf. However, candy and other things that children
like are on lower shelves. The store has a comfortable temperature in summer and winter, and it plays soft music. It is a pleasant place for people to say and spend more money.
So be careful in the supermarket. You may go home with a bag of
food you were not p;anning to buy. The supermarket, not you, decided you should buy it.

While I was shopping in a large department store, I stopped in the book department. I spent at least 30 minutes there because I was looking for a number of books which I wanted to give to people as presents. I found quite a few of them so I put them in a pile beside me. I was standing there and reading the books quietly, choosing some and putting some o thers back, when an elderly lady came up to me. Pushed a book at me and said, “I’ll take this.” I replied to her, “ Go ahead, madam, but you had better pay for it first.” Then I realized that because I
was standing by a great pile of books, she thought I was a shop
assistant. I was starting to explain when she interrupted me and complained about the service in the shop. I said nothing and walked away.

Passage Translation:
On many occasions we may hear people say that men are superior to women. Actually this is a manifestation of male chauvinism.
True, men are doing better than women in most fields, but this is not women’s fault.. The age-old traditions which prevent women from enjoying equal opportunities with men have a lot to do with the problem.
There is yet another form of invisible discrimination. That is the deep-rooted prejudice that sees ignorance as a woman’s virtue. But of
course it is true that in our country women’s status has been greatly raised in the past fifty years.
A main obstacle that often holds women back is fear, which results from social prejudice. Fear keeps women from doing anything significant. To root out the conventional prejudices, women should hold to the belief that they can catch up with and surpass men. This belief will build up women’s confidence, overcome their fear, and shatter the myth that men are superior to women.

The price of gasoline should have been set at dollars a gallon in
1918 when Henry Ford introduced the Model T .Consider what would have happened. If the price of gas had been too expensive for the average person, then there never would have been such serious pollution problems in every major American city. Moreover, there would be no need to rehabilitate our cities, because large numbers of people would never have left them for the suburbs. Finally, if the price had been set at ten dollars a gallon, there would have been enough gasoline reserves to last for centuries. Instead, the low price of gas helped to exhaust the supply and create over-dependence upon foreign sources of oil.

A National Park is an area where natural scenery and wildlife is protected by law to preserve them for future generations. It is only recently that man has realized that he must make a positive effort if many species of wildlife and areas of great beauty are not to disappear forever.
There are many kinds of areas of conservation and their central priorities may differ slightly. In the U.S.A., a national park such as Yellowstone safeguards natural features and wildlife in a way that will contribute to public enjoyment. In Africa generally, the chief purpose is the preservation of the remnants of the great herds of animals which once wandered around the country.
National Parks depend on tourists for income but the animals must remain unharmed. National Parks may be small or large, privately or government owned.

There are three main kinds of food. Suga r and starch are grouped together as carbohydrates: they are found in bread, potatoes and rice. These are mainly energy-giving foods which the muscles and other tissues
use. Fats are also energy-giving foods but do not give it as quickly as the sugars and starches as they have to be broken up in the liver and made into sugar before they can be burnt by the body. The other class known as proteins are the main solid part in all living cells. They are found in milk, meat and fish, and are necessary to the body too enable
it to build new cells and repair old ones. For this reason growing children need more proteins than adults. As children are much more
active than adults and use more energy for their size they need a lot of energy-giving foods, the carbohydrates. Children cannot get much of
their energy from fat because it makes them unwell if they eat too much of it. A specially fine thing about the body is that it uses the things you like better than the things you do not like, so giving truth to the old sayin g “A little of what you fancy does you good”.

China has long been looked upon as a land of many famous craftsmen whose artistic works are treasured to this day. The most famous of all was a man called Lu Ban. He lived many centuries ago, but people still remember the marvellous houses and palaces he planned and built even though the buildings themselves have long since disappeared. Lu Ban’s skill was so great that people even used to wonder if he was an immortal. Although it is a long time since Lu Ban left this world, old men in Beijing say that Lu still has the welfare of all craftsmen in his heart. Whenever craftsmen find themselves in difficulty, they pray to Lu Ban
for help. There are many stories in beefing about the occasions on which Lu Ban ga ve his help to ordinary craftsmen.

What is communicat ion? The dictionary defines it: “giving or exchanging information by speaki ng or writing.” Animals can’t read or write or speak a human language but they do communicate. Animals exchange information about food, about territory, about danger and safety. They express fear, hunger, anger, pleasure and recognition.
Animal messages are not always expressed in sounds. Animals mark their territory in different ways. The scratches on the trees or the smell that remains on the stones tell other animals that the territory is occupied. Some animals communicate by touching. Lions, tigers and other members of the cat family show friendliness by rubbing their heads or necks together. Colour is sometimes very important in animal communication. Some kinds of fish change color when they are angry or frightened. A peacock displays the beautifully colored feathers in his tail when be wants to attract a female.
The next time you are walking in a forest or a field, look and listen for animal signals.
