[00:37.45]2. M: Don't you think it's good to give our children a monthly allowance? [00:42.92]W: I think so. It can teach them the value of money.

[00:57.23]3. M: Mom, I've got a part-time job at a supermarket.

[01:02.33]Three hours a day weekdays and all day Saturday.

[01:13.63]Q: How does the mother feel about Tom's part-time job at the supermarket? [01:22.87]4. M: Hey, Mary, you look so upset. What happened?

[01:27.59]W: My father had an accident the other day.

[01:30.52]He is now in hospital and will have an operation tomorrow. [01:34.24]You see, his heart is rather weak.

[01:36.86]I really don't know whether he can survive it.

[01:39.94]Q: What's the woman worried about?

[01:46.37]5. W: Mother's Day is coming soon.

[00:09.08]Passage 1

[00:11.92]Krimali (Part One)

[00:15.01]Exercise 1

[00:19.01]Listen to the passage

[00:20.48]and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.

[00:24.43]On the morning of the devastating earthquake that struck India in 2001, [00:31.52]Krimali, a girl of 17,

[00:34.66]had just left home to go to an interview for a position of a sales clerk. [00:39.74]She was pleased with her green and yellow flowered dress, [00:44.03]but felt something wasn't quite right about her hair.

[00:47.49]She returned home, removing her shoes and leaving them at the door. [00:52.55]Moments later, the earthquake struck.

[00:56.14]Ceilings and walls in the building shook in the deafening noise. [01:00.63]Then everything began crashing down.

[01:03.54]Krimali and her immediate family escaped serious injury [01:08.72]but were unable to make their way out.

[01:11.40]The ceiling of an entire room

[01:13.37]towered above the only possible escape route.

[01:16.50]Completely detached on three sides,

[01:19.64]the huge slab clung to an outside wall on its fourth side. [01:23.73]To an observer, it could drop at any moment.

[01:27.70]People were screaming and didn't know what to do.

[01:31.29]Krimali decided to act.

[01:33.61]Carefully she climbed barefoot up and down the debris

[01:37.92]until she reached a point just beneath the swaying ceiling. [01:41.62]About four meters below were uneven pieces of concrete,

[01:45.84]broken glass and smashed furniture,

[01:48.99]all mixed with sharp spikes of iron.

[01:51.75]She knew if she could manage to get down to the ground level, [01:55.57]she could make her way to safety.

[01:57.56]She paused to figure out the best way down.

[02:00.69]As there wasn't any good place to jump, she just jumped. [02:05.15]Luckily, she landed in a crouch, her feet missing any sharp edges. [02:10.53]Emboldened by her good fortune,

[02:12.83]Krimali knew it was up to her to persuade others to follow. [02:19.33]Questions

[02:21.93]1. What does the passage mainly tell us?

[02:28.90]2. What can be said about Krimali?

[02:34.26]Exercise 2

[02:35.98]Listen again and decide

[02:37.51]whether the statements you hear are true (T) or false (F). [02:43.56]On the morning of the devastating earthquake that struck India in 2001, [02:50.85]Krimali, a girl of 17,

[02:54.02]had just left home to go to an interview for a position of a sales clerk. [02:59.16]She was pleased with her green and yellow flowered dress, [03:03.40]but felt something wasn't quite right about

her hair. [03:06.78]She returned home, removing her shoes and leaving them at the door. [03:11.90]Moments later, the earthquake struck.

[03:15.46]Ceilings and walls in the building shook in the deafening noise. [03:19.98]Then everything began crashing down.

[03:22.94]Krimali and her immediate family escaped serious injury [03:27.99]but were unable to make their way out.

[03:30.52]The ceiling of an entire room

[03:32.76]towered above the only possible escape route.

[03:35.90]Completely detached on three sides,

[03:39.09]the huge slab clung to an outside wall on its fourth side. [03:43.12]To an observer, it could drop at any moment.

[03:46.93]People were screaming and didn't know what to do.

[03:50.82]Krimali decided to act.

[03:52.94]Carefully she climbed barefoot up and down the debris [03:57.29]until she reached a point just beneath the swaying ceiling.

[04:00.62]About four meters below were uneven pieces of concrete, [04:05.19]broken glass and smashed furniture,

[04:08.53]all mixed with sharp spikes of iron.

[04:11.06]She knew if she could manage to get down to the ground level, [04:15.16]she could make her way to safety.

[04:17.04]She paused to figure out the best way down.

[04:20.31]As there wasn't any good place to jump, she just jumped. [04:24.55]Luckily, she landed in a crouch, her feet missing any sharp edges. [04:30.20]Emboldened by her good fortune,

[04:32.14]Krimali knew it was up to her to persuade others to follow. [04:38.67]Statements

[04:40.35]1. Krimali wanted to make a good impression at the job interview. [04:47.17]2. Krimali returned home because her interview was cancelled. [04:54.04]3. Krimali came home only to find it destroyed by a powerful earthquake. [05:02.62]4. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured when the building collapsed. [05:10.82]5. The entire ceiling of a room fell down and blocked the only escape route. [05:19.94]6. It was especially risky for Krimali to jump because she was not wearing shoes.

[05:29.26]7. It was by mere luck that Krimali landed onto the ground level [05:34.42]without hitting any sharp edges.

[05:40.04]8. Krimali knew if she could make a safe escape,

[05:43.77]others would be only too willing to follow her.

[05:49.06]Passage 2

[05:50.94]Krimali (Part Two)

[05:53.91]Exercise 1

[05:56.43]Listen to the passage

[05:57.53]and choose the right answers to the questions you hear. [06:01.08]Krimali planned to rescue her family first,

[06:06.69]but just then she heard a woman from two storeys above [06:10.27]screaming for someone to save her two-month-old baby.

[06:14.54]"Throw the baby to me," Krimali shouted. "I can catch her!" [06:18.92]The woman refused.

[06:21.21]Krimali told the woman to wrap the baby in bed sheets and then toss her down. [06:26.31]Crying uncontrollably,

[06:28.58]the mother wrapped the little girl but still would not

part with her baby. [06:32.74]As the mother tried to decide what to do, [06:35.74]Krimali intently watched the concrete ceiling hanging above her. [06:40.01]Finally the mother tossed the baby.

[06:43.26]Krimali made a clean catch.

[06:45.72]A bright smile lit up the woman's face.

[06:48.96]"I'll be back!" Krimali called out,

[06:52.01]hugging the child to her as she hurriedly picked her way out [06:55.64]to where survivors had gathered.

[06:57.73]She gave up the baby,

[06:59.37]then asked if any of the men there would come back with

her

[07:02.50]to help others trapped in the building.

[07:05.00]No one came forward,

[07:06.65]for they were all afraid of that swaying ceiling.

[07:09.78]But for Krimali,

[07:11.37]a small girl of 154 centimeters in height and weighing about 50 kilos, [07:17.07]her fears had been lifted by what she had accomplished. [07:20.46]On her way back into the ruins, she saw part of a large door. [07:24.83]It was extremely heavy

[07:26.57]but she managed to drag it to the spot just below the hanging ceiling. [07:31.12]By placing it on the ruins,

[07:33.03]she created something like a sliding board.

[07:35.73]With Krimali coaching her,

[07:37.80]the baby's mother partly jumped

[07:39.86]and partly rolled down the board to the ground level. [07:42.85]Krimali led her through the debris to her baby.

[07:46.09]In the hours that followed

[07:48.10]Krimali made countless rescue missions into the building, [07:51.20]each time in the shadow of the huge ceiling.

[07:54.22]Thanks to her courage, about two dozen men,

[07:57.84]women and children were saved.

[08:02.68]Questions

[08:04.48]1. Which of the following can be a proper title for the passage? [08:11.21]2. How would you describe the speaker's attitude toward Krimali? [08:18.96]Exercise 2

[08:20.86]Listen to the passage again and answer the following questions. [08:25.55]Krimali planned to rescue her family first, [08:30.80]but just then she heard a woman from two storeys above [08:34.38]screaming for someone to save her two-month-old baby.

[08:37.86]"Throw the baby to me," Krimali shouted. "I can catch her!" [08:42.96]The woman refused.

[08:45.11]Krimali told the woman to wrap the baby in bed sheets and then toss her down. [08:50.43]Crying uncontrollably,

[08:52.58]the mother wrapped the little girl but still would not

part with her baby. [08:57.02]As the mother tried to decide what to do,

[08:59.87]Krimali intently watched the concrete ceiling hanging above her. [09:04.05]Finally the mother tossed the baby.

[09:07.42]Krimali made a clean catch.

[09:10.13]A bright smile lit up the woman's face.

[09:12.96]"I'll be back!" Krimali called out,

[09:16.24]hugging the child to her as she hurriedly picked her way out [09:19.94]to where survivors had gathered.
