Our family is trying to decide where to go for our vacation this summer. Our son,Tom, wants to go to the Yellow Stone Park again to see the bears. We did that last summer. And what an experience it was! When we got there, we put up our tent and went to explore. As we returned, we heard our daughter Susie cry out. And then we saw a bear enter our camp. Tom wanted his father to chase him away. His father said, “No. It’s dangerous to chase a bear. And don’t let him chase you. ” Susie said, “What shall we do? Maybe we ought to climb a tree.” Tom said, “No. We’ve got to get him out of there. He might go to sleep in our tent.” “Maybe we could make him leave if we put some honey outside for him to eat.” Susie suggested. Then I said, “How are you going to get the honey? It’s in the tent. ” We watched the bear entered the tent and heard him upset everything inside. “ It’s foolish for us to try to catch him.” said my husband, “Leave him alone and wait for him to come out.” We waited, but the bear stayed inside.

I flew to San Francisco to take care of some business with Mr. Jordan. But as soon as I arrived, I got sick and couldn’t meet with him. I had to call our appointment off. Then, when I felt better I thought about visiting him at his home, but he lived too far away. I tried to telephone him during office hours, but he was busy. The receptionist said that Mr. Jordan would call me back, but he didn’t. I gave up trying to make a new appointment because it would take more time and effort than I wanted to spend. A few days later, I saw a man on the street who looked like Mr. Jordan, and I called out to him. It was someone else. When I returned to my hotel that day, I found a message, which said that Mr. Jordan had gone out of town on some sudden unexpected business. I was sorry I had missed seeing him, but I really enjoyed my sightseeing in San Francisco. Questions 15 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard. 15.

A six-year-old boy has been found alive after spending four days and five nights in an icebox that was buried under tons of ruins in Thursday’s big earthquake.
The boy, Tom, was found early yesterday in the village of Sem as rescuers were working to pull his father out of the ruins of their home.
Hearing a faint cry of “Get me out, get me out”, rescuers dug down another 1.5 meters and found the boy in the icebox. He was pronounced in a good condition, suffering only four or five slight wounds.
Tom’s eight brothers and sisters died in the earthquake, which officials say may have killed as many as 50,000 people.
By Sunday foreign doctors were leaving the earthquake areas as hope had faded of finding any more survivors.

In some parts of the United States, farming is easy, but farming has always been difficult in the northeastern corner of the country, which is called New England. New England has many trees and thin rocky soil. Anyone who has wanted to start a new farm there has had to work very hard. The first job has been cutting down trees. The next job has been digging the remaining parts of the trees out of the soil. Then the farmer has had the difficult job of removing stones from his land. This work of removing stones never really ends because every winter more stones appear. They come up through the same soil from the rocks below. Farmers have to keep removing stones from the fields. Even today farms, which have been worked on for two hundred years, keep producing more stuff. And that is why stone walls are used instead of fences around New England fields. The stone walls are not high. A man can easily climb over them, but they keep the farmer’s cows from joining his neighbor’s cows.
Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard. 11. What has been a difficult job for the farmers in New England? 12. Why don’t farmers in New England build fences? 13. What have we learned about the soil in New England? Passage Two
