[04:22.16]Section B   Passage One
[04:27.02]The United States covers a large part of the North American continent.
[04:33.06]Its neighbors are Canada to the north and Mexico to the south.
[04:38.52]Although the United States is a big country,it is not the largest in the world.
[04:44.97]In 1964,its population was over 185,000,000.
[04:51.32]When this land first became a nation
[04:55.47]after winning its independence from Englan it had thirteen state
[05:01.53]Each of the states was represented on the American flag by a star.
[05:07.59]All these states were in the eastern part of the continent.
[05:12.53]As the nation grew toward the west
[05:16.58]new states were added and new stars appeared on the flat.
[05:22.12]For a long time,there were 48 states.
[05:26.66]In 1959,however,two  more stars were added to the flag representing the new states  of Alaska and Hawaii
[05:35.91]Indians were the first inhabitants of the land which is now the United States.
[05:42.44]There are still many thousands of the descendants of these original inhabitants living in all parts of the country.
[05:50.51]Sometimes it is said that the Indians are "the only real Americans
[05:57.04]Most Americans,however,are descendants of people
[06:01.98]who came first and in greatest numbers
[06:06.52]to make their homes on the eastern coast of North America
[06:11.59]were mostly from England.
[06:14.83]It is for that reason that the language of the United States is English,
[06:20.89]and that its culture and customs
[06:24.65]are more like those of England than of any other country in the world.
[06:30.19]11. What countries are neighbors of the United States?
[06:36.15]12. Where were the earliest states located?
[06:41.11]13.For what reason is it that the language of the United States is English?
[06:49.26]Passage Two
[06:52.21]Sometimes we say that someone we know is "a square peg in a round hole".
[06:58.77]This simply means that the person we are talking about
[07:03.81]is not suited for the job he is doing.
[07:08.17]He may be a bookkeeper who really wants to be an actor
[07:13.11]or a mechanic who likes cooking.
[07:17.16]Unfortunately,many people in the world are "square pegs"
[07:22.80]they are not doing the kind of work they should be doing
[07:27.74]for one reason or another
[07:31.47]As a result they probably are not doing a very good job
[07:37.04]and certainly they are not happy.
[07:40.98]Choosing the right career is very important
[07:45.53]Most of us spend a great part of our lives at our job
[07:51.38]For that reason we should try to find out
[07:56.24]what our talents are and how we can use them
[08:01.20]We can do this through aptitude test interviews with specialist
[08:07.16]and study of books in our field of interest.
[08:12.20]There are many careers open to each of us
[08:16.35]Perhaps we like science
[08:19.80]then we might prepare ourselves to be chemists,physicists,or biologists.
[08:26.15]Maybe our interests take us into the business world and such work
[08:30.59]as accounting personnel management or public relation.
[08:38.14]Many persons find their place in government service.
[08:43.00]Teaching,newspaper work,medicine engineering--these and many other fields
[08:50.34]offer fascinating careers to persons with talent and training.
[08:56.01]14. What is implied in a "square peg in a round hole"?
[09:02.25]15. Why is it important to find the right career?
[09:08.21]16.What are some of the careers found in the scientific world according to the passage?
[09:16.07]Passage Three
[09:19.02]The geographical location of a country and its physical characteristic
[09:25.37]are very important to its development and progress.
[09:30.31]The United States is very fortunate in this respect.
[09:35.48]First of all, it has a good climate
[09:39.81]In almost all sections of the country
[09:44.07]it is possible to live comfortably during the whole yeay.
[09:49.22]It is true that in the south it sometimes gets very hot
[09:54.68]and in the north very cold.
[09:58.44]But the people who live in these regions become accustomed to the climate.
[10:04.19]and never suffer very much when the weather is either very hot or very cold.
[10:11.03]In a large country there is usually a great variety of different physical characteristic.
[10:18.19]In the United States there are wide plains and high mountain
[10:23.83]thousands of lakes and rivers of all size cool forests and hot desert
[10:30.96]and a coastline several thousand miles long.
[10:35.72]Many lakes and rivers as well as the long coastlin
[10:41.28]have been of great importance to the development of the country
[10:47.34]since they made possible
[10:50.89]the easy transportation of people and all the things people need.
[10:56.22]transportation by water is still necessary and important.
[11:01.76]In modern times,however trains,automobile trucks and airplanes
[11:08.42]are doing much of the work which was formerly done by ships and boats.
[11:14.66]17.What's the main topic of the talk?
[11:19.71]18.What kind of climate does the United States have?
[11:26.16]19.What are the principal physical characteristics of the United States?
[11:33.50]20.What's the role of lakes and rivers according to the passage?
