nd D).


Passage One
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.


Script:

Choosing your neighborhood is probably the most important step in finding a home. Your neighborhood partly determines your personal safety. It affects the education of your children and of the children around you. Your neighborhood affects the way you feel about your life, as well as your enjoyment of your home. Here are some tips for finding a neighborhood to live in.

First, you should start by driving around the areas that you find inviting. You may want to start with areas near your home or near schools that you know are good, or that your children are attending. You may also start near the home of relatives or close friends. While driving, be sure to record the names of neighborhoods that attract you.

Second, collect sales and rental information. If you are looking to buy a home, take a sales booklet from each home that provides one for the public. This will help you get an idea of what the neighborhood has to offer, and the price range of house. This will also help you avoid an area that you can't afford. If you are renting, write down phone numbers and call the owners.

Last but not least, once you have narrowed down where you want to live and are at the point of making final decisions, drive through the neighborhoods at later hours. It's a good time to check out how safe the area is.

A) you have to live there forever

Passage Two
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.


Script:
Once upon a time people knew and depended upon their neighbors. With speed and technology we have become ever more separated from each other. As income becomes limited, prices rise and some people lose their jobs, we can become less dependent on strangers and more dependent on neighbors and family. Maybe we can find more riches in creating a caring, pleasant community where we live.

One way to do that is to stop by your neighbor's house to say hello or wish them a happy holiday. If a neighbor is aging, is a single parent or has lost a job, he or she may be too proud to ask for a hand. Maybe you can assist in some way.

If you have extras, such as party gifts, books, handmade gifts, children's clothes, ask your neighbors if they might be interested. It's all done in the spirit of sharing, not charity. Your neighbors might even have offerings you'll appreciate in return at some point.

If you are entertaining and know you have neighbors who are alone during the holidays, invite them to join you. Even if they don't come, they're likely to feel less lonely knowing someone cared to ask.

Maybe the biggest gift we can give is the gift of ourselves. As people gather together to help each other, they grow stronger. Then wonderful friendships will be established, lives will be improved or even saved, and laughter will be born, if we reach out to our neighbors!

11.
As prices rise and people lose their jobs, we can become more dependent on ____.
A) the country
B) our neighbors
C) the local government
D) ourselves

My house is in a thick forest in Florida and we are experiencing a severe drought this year. Friday night my neighbor held a big party. I don't mind the loud music or rude guests. But they lit a fire deep in their backyard at the edge of the woods. I was scared and I called the fire department.
They came and frankly must have been friends with half the party. When I asked them just as they pulled out, the fireman said he told them to put it out. Obviously they did nothing!
The fire was not really put out. Today, at noon, the woods caught on fire behind my house. It took 25 men and two bush trucks six hours to put it out.
