M:(1)Welcome to Money Matterg,a weekly program that helps you manage your money.Tonight,I'll be talking to Mary Johnson about budgcting. 

W:Hello,everyone.

M:There's a magic about money.When it's not planned for,tracked and kept a record of,it literally disappears.What are some of the steps we can take to prevent this from happening?

W:(3-1)Well,it's all about keeping track of your money. If you don't do that,you'l never be able to setany goals for your budget or have the discipline to stick to them.

M:That's casier said than done.(2)I read recently that only 41% of Americans adhere to a budget.

W:(3-2)Yes,but knowing what you earn and what you spend can give you reassurance that you won't get into debt in the first place.You can do this by adding up all of your sources of income you have and writing them all down on a piece of paper.On the same page,write down all of your monthly expenses.

M:I'm always amazed at how much my expenses add up.But designating each item as an income or an expense really helps me have a much better sense of all my spending.

W:Right,most people have no idea how much they spend each day,let alone cach week or month,no matter how careful they are.Next,subtract your monthly expenses from income.If the resultis positive,you are living within your means.If the result is a negative number,you're going to have to cut back on your spending.

M:I'm usually a negative number.I just can'tresist the allure of all those prestigious goods.

W:Well,it's not a catastrophe.But you do have to make some changes:try cutting back on thosenon-essential items,sell some stuff in your attic or(4)shop online to avoid unneccssary temptations like chocolate Failing that you can always find yourself a part-time job.

Section B

Questions 9 to l1 arebased on the passage you havejust heard.

(9)A new study has found a positive correlation between how much television children watch and their parents'stress levels.Why?Because the more television kids watch,the more they're exposed to advertising.The more advertising they see,the more likely they are to insist on purchasing items when they go with their parents to the store.This could generate conflict if the parents refuse.All that,researchers say,can contribute to parents'overall stress levels.What's the solution?Perhaps the most obvious is curtailing screen time Commercial content is there for a reason—to elicit purchasingbehavior.So parents might want to shut off the TV.Researchers concede that this is easier said than done.So they suggest another option.Parents can change how they talk to their kids about purchases.(10)The researchers suggest that parents seek input from their children on family purchasing decisions.They shouldn't try to control all purchascs.Instead,parents mighttell their children things like“I will lsten to your advice on certain products or brands.”This type of communication,the researchers assert,can lead to children making fewer purchasing demands.That means less parents'stress.However,the protective effect of this kind of communication diminishes with greater exposure to television.This is because advertising aimed at children is especially persuasive.Advertisers use an assortment of tactics,such as bright colors,happy music and celebrity endorsements to appeal to children.(11) Plus,children don't have the cognitive ability to fully understand advertising's intent.That makes them particularly vulncrable to advertiscmcnts.

9.What has the new study found about children watching television?

10.What are parents advised to do to reduce the impact of TV commercials?

11.What makes children particularly vulnerable to TV commercials?

Qucstions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Everyone is supposed to cheer for good guys,and we should only punish the bad guys.But that's not what we always do.Most of the time,we do indeed reward good people.We also often punish people who harm others or who aren't good team players.(12)But sometimes the good guys also get punished or criticized, specifically because they are so good.This seems baffling,because it's detrimental to group cooperation. However,the phenomenon has been discovered in multiple fields,and it has been found in every society.Why does this happen?Research sugests a simple reason.When one person looks really good,others look bad by comparison.Those others then have an incentive in stopping that person from looking good,especially ifthey can't or won't compete.After all,(13)we're all judged in comparison with others.When faced with someone better,what can a normal person do?(14)One option is to actively compete.A second optionis to bring that person down.That is to suppress their cooperation or work ethic,infer selfish motives for their actions,or imply real or imagined hypocrisy.Other tactics include attacking them on unrelated dimensions or punishing them outright.Why does this matter?Critics often attack the motives of people who protect the environment, donate money or work too hard.(15)Such good deeds are dismissed as naive or hypocritical by those who do not perform those deeds.This criticism may ultimately discourage people from doing good deeds. So it's important to recognize these attacks for what they are.

12.What baffling phenomenon is discussed in the passage?

13.How are we all judged according to the passage?

14.What can a normal person do when faced with people who perform better?

15.What may discourage people from performing good deeds?

Section C

Questions 16 to 18 are based on the recording you have just heard.

In America,most researchers concede that boys and girls are brought up in different ways,taughtdifferent skills and rewarded for different acts.Women,it is agreed,excel at certain tasks,menat others.

There's little argument that some personality traitsappear more dominant in one sex than in the other.All of this not with standing,gender differences are very much in the media these days.Since the rise of the women's movement,gender role behavior has come under closer scrutiny.

How has this affected friendship?How do the sexes differ in their friendship relations?(16)Mostpreteer children have a best friend who is usually someone of the same sex and similar age.Both sexes share an cssentially positive recollection of these childhood friendships.They do not differ in this respect.

However,the type of play engaged in during these carly friendships is telling of the difference to come.Boys tend to form play groups that are competitive in nature.Girls'groups more frequently revolve around cooperative enterprises.Thus at an early age,boys become concerned with trying hard and winning,while girls,bycontrast,playhouse and school,engaging in roles that require complementary support.Speaking of their childhood,men recall being highly responsive to and aware of the gender-role opinions of other boys Girls in preteen years appear to be less susceptible to gender-role pressure.It is not until the dating years that women report being concerned with feminine behavior.Males,for the most part,are responsive to the suggestion that their behavior is unmanly at almost any age.These early attitudes reinforced by social conditioning continue to play an active part in the friendships of both sexes during adolescence.(17)This is a period when the majority of males onceagain report a closer alliance with same-sex friends.Now,however,with heightened intensity,considerable energy is devoted to competing for position and a definite undercurrent of competition permeates the relationship.Although in disimilar fashion,females share equally fragile relationships at this age.For them,the bond of loyalty extends only to the line of romantic involvement.(18)This is most ap to be the case in late adolescence when dating and relationships with boys take sharper precedence over sisterhood.Actually dating dilutes the intensity of same-sex friendships for men also. For the majority of us the moment we begin to date seriously,there's a competition between romance and friendship.

16.What does the speaker say about most preteen children?

17.What do most males devote much of their energy to during adolescence?

18.What do children do when they reach late adolescence?

Questions 19 to 21 are based on the recording you have justheard.

Good afternoon.In today's lecture,we'll be talking about how and when to disclose a disability when applying for ajob.On average,about 20 percent ofthe population has some form ofdisability.Most countries,thesedays,have equal opportunity and non-discriminationlaws.Yet disabled people often find it hard to decidewhen,how and ifat all toraise their disability problem with the potental employer.There is uncertainty about how a recruiter will perceive their disability.(19)As such,many candidates fcar they wouldn't be considered for a position as a result of disclosing this personal information.And research has validated this as a genuine concern for many job applicants.It's a natural reaction,but it shouldn'tbea reason to stay quiet.Peopleneed to remember that they are applying for aposition they have the skills and experience to excel in.Discussing a disability with the potential employer may help them make reasonable workplace adjustments in their favor.(20)It's most appropriate to discuss a disability when they reply to confirm an interview.This information needn't be put upfront in their cover letter or resume,because it's probably not relevant to the position itself.Candidates with disabilities should feel they have the power to make their own decisions around sharing this information free from prejudice,If they find an organization that doesn't celebrate diversity and inclusion,it could say a lot about the company's culture.Perhaps the organization isn't the right fit.It's important for them to remember that theyare seeking a manager,anemployer that's goingto be supportive and continue to give them a great employment experience.Companies sometimes offer candidates the chance to disclose disabilities on their application form,but people shouldn't feel restricted by this method or timing.(21)People should avoid sharing the name of their disability or condition.There is always the risk thatthe recruiter will research information that is inaccurate or irrelevant.If people don'tthink their disability will impact their ability to perform in the advertised position,then it's entirely their entitlement to choose when and whether to share this information.

19.Why do disabled job applicants feel reluctant to disclose their disability information?

20.When does the speaker suggest applicants revea their disability information?

21.What are people advised to do when filling out their job application form?

Questions 22 to 25 are based on the recording you have just heard.

Smartphones distract attention and reduce learning because of their potential to offer activities more inviting than study.But what about background sound alone?A group of American researchers compared students comprehension of verbal material when reading in the presence of background spech,instrumental music or general noise.Generalnoise is neutral,such as that from the sound of an air conditioneror fan.(22)Students scores were most depressed in the presenceof background speech. Comprehension was slightly better with the presence of music than with speech.However,when they were asked to identify melodies rather than understand text,background music interfered more.When the background speech was in a language unfamiliar to participants,there was little if any hindrance of reading comprehension.

British researchers compared the effects of background speech,vocal music,instrumental music,general background noise and silence on short-term memory.Background speech had the biggest negative effect.Vocal music was slightly more disruptive than instrumental.In general,background noise and silence were least disruptive.(23)It seems the degree of interference from background noise depends on the overlap between the processing required on the task and the processing required to screen out the background noise. The studies suggest that when people read and when they try to remember any verbal material,background speech will inhibit their ability.Instrumental musicwill have at worst a slight effect.(24)When students write essays, however,other research has found it is best to reduce all background noise as much as possible.

Not everyone reacts in the same way to distractions.Other studies suggest some aspects of personality may make a difference.The researchers subjected shy quiet people and confident outgoing ones to higher arousal or lower arousal background music,general noise or silence while asking them to remember words.Everyone performed best in the silent condition.(25)But less sociable people were more negatively affected by eacho the distractions.So when children are reading and trying to incorporate new material,parents could consider allowing some background music,particularly if it is instrumental and their child is the outgoing type.

22.What did some American researchers find about students'reading comprehension in the presence of background noise?

23.What do we learn from the British rescarchers about the degree of interference from background noise?

24.What is best for students to do when writing essays according to some research?

25.How do people of different personalities react to distractions according to other studies?
