  Conversation Two
  M: Look at all the equipment here. They must be used for some kind of sport.
  W: You are right. They are for climbing mountains. Have you ever tried that before?
  M: No, never, have you?
  W: Almost for two years.
  M: Two years? Wow! What was it like the first time?
  W: Well, you’ve got to take it step by step even though you are anxious to do certain indoor practice at first.
  M: Isn’t it a bit dangerous? I heard that a 20-year-old colleague student lost his life when climbing the cliff the other day.
  W: Yes, it does happen from time to time, most often by people who just try when they are not yet ready for any risk.
  M: Are there any climbing clubs for freshmen to join then?
  W: Yes, for sure. But you need time to pick out the best one. Nowadays, too many of these climbing clubs are too eager to initiate trips without checking properly the skill levels of the climbers.
  M: Well, anyway, Katrina, thanks for your kind suggestion. I have to leave for class now.
  W: My pleasure. See you then.
  Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

  Section B
  Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
  Passage One
  Stress comes in all shapes and sizes and it’s hard to get through a day without hearing or reading something about stress. Some doctors refer to stress as some kind of new plague. However, numerous surveys confirm that the problem has been progressively serious since the 1980s. Stress is an unavoidable consequence of life. Without stress, there could be no life. However, just as distress can cause disease, there are good stresses that offset this, and promote wellness. Increased stress results in increased productivity – up to a point. However, this level differs for each of us. We all need to find the proper level of stress that promotes optimal performance. Good health is more than just the absence of illness. Rather, it is a very robust state of physical and emotional well being that acknowledges the importance and inseparability of mind and body relationships. Later, in the next program, I hope you will join me in the pursuit of learning how to harness stress, so that it can work for you and make you more productive.
  Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
  26. What aspect of stress is the talk mainly about?
  27. How can we deal with stress according to the doctor?
  28. What will the doctor do in the next program?
