Section B
Questions 11-13 are based on the following passage.
I am Lynn. My previous job was as principal of a language school, where I received awards for training teachers to teach more effectively. A year ago, I started an international company. I spent months conducting programs in the US and Russia. During this time, some Russian immigrants came to stay at my house. Fortunately, these visitors helped a lot at home and made life easier. At the same time, I wrote several books to be published by my company and coedited a book for a major publisher.
I am grateful I have a photographic memory, so I can remember everything I see. Otherwise, I might not be that productive. In addition to my work, I have a family at home. Some of my children have had serious health problems from birth, but I try to handle those problems well and efficiently. With tremendous help from my parents, the kids are fed, and clothed, and educated. I am busy from the time I get up until the time I go to bed. My time has to be carefully planned. I do not like to be interrupted because I want to accomplish my goals.
Questions 14-16 are based on the following passage.
Job interviews can generally be divided into three types. The first is what I would call the traditional interview. This is usually just a series of standard questions about qualifications, work experience and expectations. So what you have here is basically a list of quite direct questions, like 'What duties did you have in your previous job?' This is still the model for a lot of interviews today. In my view it's not the best to select staff.
Then there is the case interview. Here the interviewer presents a problem and a series of questions to find out how the candidate would approach the problem. It might go something like this, 'A company wants to hire more graduates without spending more than its current budget. What would you advise them to do?'This can be particularly challenging, for you need to analyze the problem and solve it.
The third type is known as the behavioral interview. The questions are usually designed to find out about how the candidates handle tricky situations in the past. A typical question might be 'Can you give me an example of a situation where you had to follow orders that you didn't agree with?' This opens up a lot of information and the interviewer gets to see more of the candidate.

M: OK, go ahead.
W: I don't think the peace guardian will be big enough. We need a center that can seat at least 600.
M: That many? Any suggestions?
W: The Palace Center will be free that day, but it will mean increasing the registration fee by $50. From $800 to $850.
M: That won't be a problem. Anything else?
W: Milan University says they are sending Carla Marisco instead of Professor Bertoni. But the talk would be the same, Opportunities and Risks in the African Market.
M: Fine. Make those changes and all inform everyone at my end.
Text 2.
W: David, we all know you took up skateboarding at ten. But did your parents support you?
M: Yeah, my parents even let me skate in the house.
W: Did they?
M: Yeah, they were pretty cool.
W: How about your school work?
M: That was fine. I was able to get my school work done with good grades. My only problem was that I had so much physical energy that I could not sit still in class. Then some teachers started taking my skateboard away.
W: That couldn't stop you from staking?
M: No way. The cool thing was that my parents managed to find me a different school. The headmaster there was wonderful. He let us plan our own P.E. classes. So guess what class I created.
W: Skateboarding.
M: You got it. That was my P.E. class. By that time I was turning professional and starting to show off some techniques at competitions.
W: Is that when your new style became famous?
M: Yeah. Other skaters had this smooth flowing style, but I was kind of like a robot always coming up with new tricks.1-5. CDBAD

Keep the plan between us.
Text 10 Welcome to this edition of The Stories of Super Geniuses. I'm Susan Wilbur. Today, you're going to hear a story of a great magician. He was born on September 16, 1956 in New Jersey. He picked up magic at 8 and began performing professionally at 12. By the age of 16, he was already teaching magic at New York University. In 1977, he was chosen to host a TV show, The Magic of ABC. The show was a huge success, and made him known to the whole world. He understands his craft more than any other magician before him. He said, "Before there can be wonders, there must be wonder." Where others think, "It can't be done," he always says, "Yes, it can." With this attitude, he never stops amazing people with magic. But the greatest work he thinks he has done is Project Magic. This is a project established in March 1982 to help disabled patients. Every year, he performs over 550 shows and has created many box office records. His love for magic is everything to him. And to those who want to become great magicians, he gavethis advice: "Practise, practise, practise, and never consider anything impossible." Do you know who he is now? Call 202-983-2476 to tell us the name of this magician, and you will get a DVD of his shows.1-5 CABBC 6-10 ACCBA 11-15 CBAAA 16-20 BBCAB
