of the window of Hill`s furniture store．
Several paintings were hanging there along
with the sign which said“Modern Art Contest”．
“Prizes for the Ten Best Entries”．
“Famous Art Critic to Judge the Contest．”
“Do you call that art?”asked George，
pointing to a picture made of large red，
blue and yellow patches of paint
with a few black lines scattered here and there．
“I can`t even tell what it is supposed to be．”
Tim MacDonal chewed the inside of his lip as he gazed at the painting．
“My father says the same thing about modern art，
but my mum says modern art shows how the
artist feels about something or how he sees it．”
“Well，this guy must have been feeling terrible．
Maybe he was mad and just threw the paint at the paper．
It is sure a mess．
My little sister Sussie could paint a better picture than this．”
Tim nodded absent mindedly as the two boys moved on． Suddenly he stopped．
“Say，I`ve got a great idea．Come on．
Let`s go over to your houae and talk to your sister．”
Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Passage Two
If you feel overwhelmed by your college experience，
you are not alone—many of today`s college students are suffering
from a form of shock．Going to college has always had its ups and downs，
but today the“downs”of the college experience are more numerous and difficult．
The schools are responding to the problem with increased support service．
Lisa is a good example of a student in shock．She is a lovely，
intelligent girl of twenty and is in her third year at a university．
Having been a straight A student in high school
and a member of the basketball team there，
she remembers her high school days with fondness．Lisa was popular then
and had a boyfriend for the last two years of school．
Now，only three years later，Lisa is miserable．
She has changed her major four times already
and is forced to hold two part time jobs in order to pay her tuition.
She can`t sleep well or eat properly．
She also believes that she has no close friends．
Sometimes she bursts into crying for no apparent reason．
On more than one occasion，she has considered taking her own life．
What is happening to Lisa happens to millions of college students each year．
As a result, roughly one fourth of the students suffer from depression.
Some of them are so depressed that they have to go to the doctor．
Meanwhile，suicide rate among college students is higher now than at any other time in history．
It is fifty percent higher than among nonstudents of the same age．
It is estimated that each year more than five hundred college students take their own lives．
College health officials believe
that these reported problems represent only the tip of the iceberg．
They fear that most students，
like Lisa，suffer in silence．

Section C
Directions:
In this section, you will hear recordings of lectures or talks followed by some questions.
The recordings will be played only once.After you hear a question,
you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A. B. C.and D.
Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.
Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 16 to 19.
So for any of us in this room today,
let`s start out by admitting we`re lucky.
We don`t live in the world our mothers lived in,
our grandmothers lived in, where career choices for women were so limited.
And if you`re in this room today,
most of us grew up in a world where we had basic civil rights, and amazingly,
we still live in a world where some women don`t have them.
But all that aside, we still have a problem,
and it`s a real problem. And the problem is this:
Women are not making it to the top of any profession anywhere in the world.
The numbers tell the story quite clearly.
190 heads of state—nine are women.
Of all the people in parliament in the world,
13 percent are women. In the corporate sector,
women at the top,
C level jobs, board seats—tops out at 15, 16 percent.
The numbers have not moved since 2002 and are going in the wrong direction.
And even in the non profit world,
a world we sometimes think
of as being led by more women,
women at the top: 20 percent.
We also have another problem,
which is that women face harder choices between professional success
and personal fulfillment.
A recent study in the U.S. showed that,
of married senior managers, two thirds of the married men had children
and only one third of the married women had children.
Now, at the outset,
I want to be very clear that this speech comes with no judgments.
I don`t have the right answer.
I don`t even have it for myself.
I left San Francisco, where I live,
on Monday, and I was getting on the plane for this conference.
And my daughter, who`s three, when I dropped her off at preschool,
did that whole hugging the leg, crying,
“Mommy, don`t get on the plane” thing.
This is hard. I feel guilty sometimes.
I know no women, whether they`re at home or whether
they`re in the workforce, who don`t feel that sometimes.
So I`m not saying that staying
in the workforce is the right thing for everyone.
My talk today is about what the messages are if you do want to stay in the workforce,
and I think there are three. One, sit at the table.
Two, make your partner a real partner. And three, don`t leave before you leave.
Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 20 to 22.
Hi,everybody.
Our country is home to some of the most
beautiful God given landscapes in the world.
We`re blessed with natural treasures—from the Grand Tetons to the Grand Canyon;
from lush forests and vast deserts to lakes and rivers teeming with wildlife.
And it`s our responsibility to protect these treasures for future generations,
just as previous generations protected them for us.
Since taking office, I`ve set aside more than 260 million acres of public lands
and waters—more than any President in history. Last month,
we announced that 11 states had come together with ranchers,
and industry groups to protect a threatened species—the sage grouse—
without jeopardizing local economies.
Two weeks ago, we announced that we`re creating one new marine sanctuary
on the Potomac River in Maryland,
and another along Lake Michigan in Wisconsin—part of unprecedented efforts to restore
the Chesapeake Bay and the Great Lakes.
We also joined a coalition of countries cracking down on illegal fishing
that threatens jobs and food security around the globe.
And I`m going to keep protecting the places that make America special,
and the livelihoods of those who depend on them.
We`ll also keep doing what we can to prevent the worst
effects of climate change before it`s too late. Over the past six years,
we`ve led by example, generating more clean energy and lowering our carbon emissions.
Our businesses have stepped up in a big way, including just this past week.
Some of our biggest companies made new commitments
to act on climate—not just because it`s good for the planet,
but because it`s good for their bottom line.
This is how America is leading on the environment.
And because America is leading by example,
150 countries, representing over 85% of global emissions,
have now laid out plans to reduce their levels
of the harmful carbon pollution that warms our planet.
And it gives us great momentum going into Paris this December,
where the world needs to come together and build on these
individual commitments with an ambitious,
long term agreement to protect this Earth for our kids.
Now Congress has to do its job.
This month, even as Republicans in Congress barely managed to keep our government open,
they shut down something called the Land
and Water Conservation Fund.For more than half a century,
this fund has protected more than 5 million acres of land—from playgrounds
to parks to priceless landscapes—all without costing taxpayers a dime.
Nearly every single county in America has benefited from this program.
It has bipartisan support in both the House and the Senate.
Republicans in Congress should reauthorize and fully fund the Land
and Water Conservation Fund without delay.
After all, as Pope Francis reminds us so eloquently,
this planet is a gift from God and our common home.
We should leave it to our kids in better shape than we found it.
Thanks, and have a great weekend.
Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 23 to 25.
It`s an honor to be here today to address HBS`s distinguished faculty,
proud parents, patient guests, and most importantly, the class of 2012.
Today was supposed to be a day of unbridled celebration
and I know that`s no longer true.
I join all of you in grieving for your classmate Nate.
I know there are no words that makes something like this better.
Although laden with sadness, today still marks a distinct
and impressive achievement for this class.
So please everyone join me in giving our warmest congratulations to this class of 2012.
When the wonderful Dean Nohria invited me to speak here today,
I thought, come talk to a group of people younger and cooler than I am?
I can do that. I do that every day at Facebook.
I like being surrounded by young people, except when they say to me,
“What was it like being in college without the internet?”
or worse,“ Sheryl, can you come here?
We need to see what old people think of this feature.”
It`s not joking.
It`s a special privilege for me to be here this month.
When I was a student here 17 years ago,
I studied social marketing with Professor Kash Rangan.
One of the many examples Kash used to explain the concept
of social marketing was the lack of organ donors in this country,
which kills 18 people every single day. Earlier this month,
Facebook launched a tool to support organ donations,
something that stems directly from Kash`s work. Kash,
wherever you are here, we are all grateful for your dedication.
