Passage Two
If you visit a big city anywhere in the world
you will probably find a restaurant
which serves the food of your native country.
Most large cities in the United States
offer an international sample of foods.
Many people enjoy eating the food of other nations.
This is probably one reason
why there are so many restaurants in the United States.
A second reason is that many Americans
come from different parts of the world.
They enjoy tasting the foods of their native lands.
In the city of Detroit, for example,
there are many people from Western Europe, Greece.
Latin America and the Far East.
There are many restaurants in Detroit
which serve the foods of these areas.
There are many other international restaurants, too.
Americans enjoy the foods in these restaurants
as well as the opportunity to understand the people
and their way of life.
One of the most common international restaurants
to be found in the United States is the Italian restaurant.
The restaurant may be a small business run by a single family.
The mother of the family cooks all the dishes
and the father and children
serve the people who come to eat there.
Or it may be a large restaurant
owned by several different people
who work together in the business.
Many Italian dishes that Americans enjoy
are made with meats, tomatoes, and cheese.
They are very delicious and tasty.
Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
30. Why are there so many international restaurants
in the United States?
31. Why do Americans like to go to international restaurants
apart from enjoying the food there?
32. How is a typical Italian restaurant run in the United States?
Passage Three
One winter day in 1891
a class at a training school in Massachusetts USA
went into the gym for their daily exercises.
Since the football season had ended
most of the men thought they were in for a boring time.
But their teacher, James Naysmith had other ideas.
He had been working for a long time on a new game
that would have the excitement of American football.
Naysmith showed the men the basket
he had hung at each end of the gym
and explained that they were going to use
a round European football.
At first, everybody tried to throw the ball into the basket
no matter where he was standing.
Pass, pass, Naysmith kept shouting;
blowing his whistle to stop the excited players.
Slowly, they began to understand what was wanted of them.
The problem of the new game,
which was soon called,
Basketball was getting the ball out of the basket.
They used ordinary fruit baskets with bottoms
and the ball of course, stayed inside.
At first, someone had to climb up
every time a basket was scored.
It was several years later
before someone came up with the idea
of removing the bottom of the basket
and letting the ball fall through.
There have been many changes to the rules since then
and basketball has become one of the world's most popular sports.
Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
33. What did Naysmith do to entertain his students one winter day?
34. According to the speaker,
what was the problem with the new game?
35. How was the problem with the new game solved?
