W: Yeah, he was never like that at college. Back then he would’ve run in an old Tshirt and jeans. Q: What do the speakers say about Sam? Conversation One M: Hi, Ann, wele back. How’s your trip to the states? W: Very busy. I had a lot of meetings. So, of course, I didn’t have much time to see New York. M: What a pity. Actually I have a trip there myself next week. W: Do you? Then take my advice. Do the wellbeing in the air program. It really works. M: Oh, I read about that in a magazine. You say it works? W: Yes. I did the program on the flight to the States. And when I arrived in New York, I didn’t have any problem. No jet leg at all. On the way back I didn’t do it, and I felt terrible. M: You are joking. W: Not at all. It really made a lot of difference. M: Hmm…So, what did you do? W: Well, I didn’t drink any alcohol or coffee and I didn’t eat any meat or rich food. I drink a lot of water and fruit juice and I eat the meals on the wellbeing menu. They are lighter. They have fish, vegetables and noodles, for example. And I did some of the exercises in the program. M: Exercises? On a plane? W: Yes. I didn’t do many, of course. There isn’t much space on the plane. M: How many passengers did the exercises? W: Not many. M: And how much champagne did they drink? W: A lot. It was more popular than mineral water. M: So, basically it’s a choice. Mineral water and exercises or champagne and jet lag. W: That’s right. It’s a difficult choice. Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 19. Why did the woman go to New York? 20.

Where did the conversation take place? 24. What are the speakers talking about? 25. What is the man’s line of business? 15 Passage One The New Year always brings with it a cultural tradition of new possibilities. We see it as a chance for renewal. We begin to dream of new possible selves. We design our ideal self or an image that is quite different from what we are now. For some of us, we roll that dreamy film in our heads just because it is the beginning of the New Year, but we are serious about making changes.

The impact of the collision killed Sandra instantly, but her threemonthold daughter was left trapped in the burning car. While others looked on in horror, Anderson jumped out of his vehicle and crawled into the car through the shattered rear window to try to free the infant. Seconds later, the car was enclosed in flames, bu
