Section B Passage one
When I go on vocation, I usually travel by plane. In the past, I used to book a flight with a travel agency. But now, I just stay at home, searching the Internet for the suitable plane tickets. You can often find a flight with a cheaper price on line. Finding the best price of plane tickets is probably the most important thing you’ve considered.

But the departure time, the arrival time and the linked flight are also important factors. Making plane reservations on line is pretty easy to do. But don’t forget you still have to pay certain fees and taxes to go along with the price of ticket. Finally you should keep in mind that you might have to pay some money if you decide to change your flight of planes or cancel your flight.
Q11. How did the speaker book a flight ticket in the past? Q12. Why does the speaker book a ticket on line now?
Q13. What will happen if the speaker wants to cancel his flight?
Passage two
Last month, I bought a second-hand car from a car agency. When I first saw it, I was surprised that it was so expensive. But after I’ve used for some time, I found that it was worth every dollar I spent. The engine runs more smoothly and quietly than any other car I have heard. Whenever I buy anything second hand, I always find out its history: who had it, and how they took care of it. It is turned out that an old couple owned this car, and they took care of it more carefully than most people do. The owner, Mr. Smith, cleaned the engine every week. Although I want to say that it is an excellent car, it is a good family car. I was really lucky to have bought it.
Q14. Why was the speaker surprised when he first saw the used car at the car agency? Q15. What does the speaker think of the used car he has bought? Q16. What does the speaker do when he buys anything second hand?
Passage three
An application letter is not meant to secure a job; its main purpose is to catch the interest of the employer. If the employer is interested in you, then you will have a chance for an interview. Through an application letter, the employer will find out who are suitable for the job and who are not. Then he will select the most desired person for the position he tends to offer. Since your letter of application is the first introduction of you to the employer, you must think carefully how you would like to present yourself. What do you want the letter to say about your qualifications, your ability and your work experience? Why do you want to apply for the job? And how well may you perform in the new job? Apart from the contents, the appearance of the letter is also important. It can do much to help create a favorable impression on an employer. Of course, the resume attached to the application letter will play an important role in supporting your application. In one word, you need to make your letter of application stand out from all the others’.
Q17. What is the main purpose of a job seeker in writing an application letter?
Q18. What will an employer normally do if he is interested in the application letter? Q19. Why is the letter about application important to the job seeker? Q20. What is the advice of the speaker about an application letter?
