Section C

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

When it comes to blessing others, some people make noble plans that end up going nowhere. But that’s not the case with Delphine and Guillaume Gauvain. When they opened an orphanage for blind children in China, they planned to bless the kids. But they were willing to learn along the way.

The French couple’s first step was moving from Canada to Hong Kong. Their first step toward serving orphans was adopting David, a Chinese boy with a birth defect (缺陷). Guillaume, a jazz pianist, first met David while playing at the boy’s foster home. As soon as David ran up to him, Guillaume was immediately hooked.

In search of people they could help, the couple moved to Beijing in 2002. After some research, they discovered that blind children needed a large amount of special care. That’s why they started Bethel – a foster care program focusing on blind children. In December 2003 they rented a house and received their first three children. Because two of the children were autistic (孤独症) as well as blind, Delphine was overwhelmed at first. But she soon found ways to help the kids.

As the Gauvains took in more children, dormitories and a school were built. In 2008, Bethel moved to a site on a farm. They later added special gardens that allowed the kids to help out.

Since its founding, Bethel has opened a total of four foster care projects in China. Together, they make up the Love Is Blind part of Bethel’s efforts. They are run like family homes, full of hope and laughter. That’s why the children refer to Delphine and Guillaume as Faguo Mama and Faguo Baba.

Don’t assume the staff is soft on the kids, though. They teach the kids how to perform daily routines independently. In addition, the kids have classes. Delphine boasts that all of Bethel’s kids are fluent in English before turning 18.

The Gauvains and their three kids moved to the Philippines in 2012 after devoting 10 years to Bethel China. They still remain involved with Bethel’s leadership. And in their new location, they have opened a community center to help train people with work skills.

The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.

1. M: I have been working in this school for a score of years.

W: Well, my mum has been working here twice as long as you. Q: How long has the man been working in that school?

2. M: Here is a prescription for some pills. Come back and see me if you still don’t feel well. W: Thank you very much for seeing me. Q: What’s the man?

3. M: Hello, this is John Hopkins at the Riverside Health Center. I’d like to speak to Mr. Jones.

W: I’m sorry, Mr. Hopkins. My husband isn’t at home. But I can give you his office phone

number. He won’t be back until six o’clock.

Q: Where does Mrs. Jones think her husband is now?

4. M: You seem very confident about the job interview, don’t you?

Q: Where is the woman probably going to work?

5. M: To the Shanghai Museum. Is it close to the Grand Theater?

10. M: I’m exhausted; I stayed up the whole night studying for my midterm maths exam. W: But why do you always wait until the last minute? Q: What can be inferred from the conversation? Section B Passages

Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.

The lady lived in a first class hotel that faced the park. Her driver called for her every morning at eleven. As he helped her into the car one Saturday morning, she noticed a man in rags on a bench across the street looking attentively at the hotel with a dreamy expression on his face. He was there again the next morning – the next. It interested the lady. She told her driver to wait and crossed over to the man on the bench.

“I simply have to know,” she said, “why you keep looking at the hotel that way every morning.”

The man smiled. “Lady,” he said, “I’m a penniless failure. I sleep on this bench when the police don’t drive me away, and I dream that some day – just once – I’m going to spend a night in that smart hotel across the way.”

The lady, feeling very pleased with herself, said, “Tonight your dream is going to be true. I’m going to pay for the best room in the house for you.”

The following morning the woman told the man to come to her breakfast table and asked, “How did you sleep?”

The man proved disappointing.

“Good Heaven, why?” she asked. “Wasn’t the bed soft and warm enough for you?”

“It wasn’t that,” he explained. “You see, down there I can dream I’m in the hotel. Here the
