　　Section B

　　Passage One

　　Most people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion at some time in their lives. If you are thinking of buying a dog， however， you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. Specialist advice is available to help you choose the most suitable breed of dog. But in part， the decision depends on common sense. Most breeds were originally developed to perform specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house， for example， you should choose a breed that has the right size and characteristics You must also be ready to devote a good deal of time to train the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs to throughout its life， unless live in the country and can let it run freely. Dogs are demanding pets. Whereas cats identify with the house and so are content if their place there is secure a dog identifies with its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection. The best time to buy a baby-dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its affection from its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old， their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be too shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.

　　11. What's mentioned as a consideration in buying a dog?

　　12. Why does the speaker say a dog is a more demanding pet than a cat?

　　13. Why is advised to buy baby dogs under three months old?

　　Passage Two

　　People in Poland take their pleasure seriously. They like to have an aim even when spending the time which is entirely their own. During the summer， people start work very early in the morning so that they can finish early and enjoy a leisurely afternoon. It is difficult to imagine Polish people going aimlessly for a walk in the country， though they might go to pick wild fruit， to visit a place of historical importance or to walk 20 KM as a training exercise. They are often admired for their immense enjoyment of the arts. All parks are beautifully cared and are for the use and enjoyment of the people， Quite ordinary people will talk with obvious delight about concerts. There is nearly always a crowd at the door of the theatre， asking for returned tickets. People in Poland now have far more leisure time and more money than ever before. It is therefore possible to spend the weekends in many new ways. Many people now have over 20 days holiday a year. This provides an opportunity for holidays in the country or at the seaside.

　　14. What is special about the Polish way of spending leisure time?

　　15. For what does the author admire the Polish people?

　　16. What do we learn from the passage?

　　Passage Three

　　What kind of car will we be driving by the year 2010? Rather different from the type we know today. With the next decade bringing greater change than the past 50 years， the people who will be designing the models of tomorrow believe that environmental problems may well accelerate the pace of the car's development. The vision is that of a machine with 3 wheels instead of 4， electrically-powered environmentally clean and able to drive itself along intelligent roads ，equipped with built-in power supplies. Future cars will pick up the fuel during long journeys from a power source built into the road， or stored in small quantities for traveling in the city. Instead of today's seating arrangement two in front， two or three behind， all facing forward， the 2010 car will have an interior with adults and children in a family circle. This view of future car based on a much more sophisticated road system. Cars will be automatically controlled by a computer. All the driver will have to do is say where to go and the computer will do the rest. It will become impossible for cars to crash into one another. The technology already exists for the car to become a true automobile.

　　17. What is the designer's vision of the cars of tomorrow?
