M: As I start describing how quiet it is to be out in the woods. I keep mentioning how much effort it takes to keep going. Crosscountry skiing isn39。t as easy as some people think. It takes a lot of energy, but that39。s not part of my paper. So I guess I should leave it out. But now I don39。t know how to explain that feeling of peacefulness without explaining how hard you have to work for it. It all fits together. It39。s not like just sitting down somewhere and watching the clouds roll by. That39。s different. W: Then you39。ll have to include that in your point.

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 22 What is the woman39。s occupation? 23 what do we learn about 39。s business at its beginning 24 what does Mr. Angeleno say about advertising his business. 25 What does the man say contribute to his success? Section B Passage 1 There are many monly held beliefs about eye glasses and eyesight that are not proven facts. For instance, some people believe that wearing glasses too soon weakens the eyes. But there is no evidence to show that the structure of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at a young age. Wearing the wrong glasses, however, can prove harmful. Studies show that for adults there is no danger, but children can develop loss of vision if they have glasses inappropriate for their eyes. We have all heard some of the mon myths about how eyesight gets bad. Most people believe that reading in dim light causes poor eyesight, but that is untrue. Too little light makes the eyes work harder, so they do get tired and strained. Eyestrain also results from reading a lot, reading in bed, and watching too much television. However, although eyestrain may cause some pain or headaches, it does not permanently damage eyesight. Another myth about eyes is that they can be replaced, or transferred from one person to another. There are close to one million nerve fibres that connect the eyeball to the brain, as of yet it is impossible to attach them all in a new person. Only certain parts of the eye can be replaced. But if we keep clearing up the myths and learning more about the eyes, some day a full transplant may be possible. Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard. 26. What does the speaker want to tell us about eyesight? 27. What do studies about wearing the wrong glasses show? do we learn about eye transplanting from the talk?

Social workers discover that the wife normally tries to take care of her husband herself for as long as she can in order not to use up their life savings. Researchers have found that
