      Passage 1

      Tight瞝ipped elders used to say, “It’s not what you want in this world, but what you get.”

      Psychology teaches that you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right things.

      You can make a mental blueprint of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house, and each of us is continually making these blueprints in the general routine of everyday living. If we intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menu, make a shopping list, decide which food to cook first, and such planning is an essential for any type of meal to be served.

      Likewise, if you want to find a job, take a sheet of paper, and write a brief account of yourself. In making a blueprint for a job, begin with yourself, for when you know exactly what you have to offer, you can intelligently plan where to sell your services.

      This account of yourself is actually a sketch of your working life and should include education, experience and references. Such an account is valuable. It can be referred to in filling out standard application blanks and is extremely helpful in personal interviews. While talking to you, your could be employer is deciding whether your education, your experience, and other qualifications will pay him to employ you and your “wares” and abilities must be displayed in an orderly and reasonably connected manner.

      When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something tangible to sell. Then you are ready to hunt for a job. Get all the possible information about your could be job. Make inquiries as to the details regarding the job and the firm. Keep your eyes and ears open, and use your own judgment. Spend a certain amount of time each day seeking the employment you wish for, and keep in mind: Securing a job is your job now.

      11. What do the elders mean when they say, “It’s not what you want in this world, but what you get.”?

      [A] You’ll certainly get what you want.

      [B] It’s no use dreaming.

      [C] You should be dissatisfied with what you have.

      [D] It’s essential to set a goal for yourself.

      12. A blueprint made before inviting a friend to dinner is used in this passage as .

      [A] an illustration of how to write an application for a job

      [B] an indication of how to secure a good job

      [C] a guideline for job description

      [D] a principle for job evaluation

      13. According to the passage, one must write an account of himself before starting to find a job because .

      [A] that is the first step to please the employer

      [B] that is the requirement of the employer

      [C] it enables him to know when to sell his services

      [D] it forces him to become clearly aware of himself

      14. When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something .

      [A] definite to offer [B] imaginary to provide

      [C] practical to supply [D] desirable to present

      Passage 2

      With the start of BBC World Service Television, millions of viewers in Asia and America can now watch the Corporation’s news coverage, as well as listen to it.

      And of course in Britain listeners and viewers can tune in to two BBC television channels, five BBC national radio services and dozens of local radio stations. They are brought sport, comedy, drama, music, news and current affairs, education, religion, parliamentary coverage, children’s programmes and films for an annual licence fee of £83 per household.

      It is a remarkable record, stretching back over 70 years — yet the BBC’s future is now in doubt. The Corporation will survive as a publicly瞗unded broadcasting organization, at least for the time being, but its role, its size and its programmes are now the subject of a nation瞱ide debate in Britain.

      The debate was launched by the Government, which invited anyone with an opinion of the BBC — including ordinary listeners and viewers — to say what was good or bad about the Corporation, and even whether they thought it was worth keeping. The reason for its inquiry is that the BBC’s royal charter runs out in 1996 and it must decide whether to keep the organization as it is, or to make changes.

      Defenders of the Corporation — of whom there are many — are fond of quoting the American slogan “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” The BBC “ain’t broke”, they say, by which they mean it is not broken (as distinct from the word ‘broke’, meaning having no money), so why bother to change it?

      Yet the BBC will have to change, because the broadcasting world around it is changing. The commercial TV channels —— ITV and Channel 4 —— were required by the Thatcher Government’s Broadcasting Act to become more commercial, competing with each other for advertisers, and cutting costs and jobs. But it is the arrival of new satellite channels — funded partly by advertising and partly by viewers’subscriptions — which will bring about the biggest changes in the long term.

      15. The world famous BBC now faces .

      [A] the problem of news coverage [B] an uncertain prospect

      [C] inquiries by the general public [D] shrinkage of audience

      16. In the passage, which of the following about the BBC is not mentioned as the key issue?

      [A] Extension of its TV service to Far East.

      [B] Programmes as the subject of a nation-wide debate.

      [C] Potentials for further international co-operations.

      [D] Its existence as a broadcasting organization.

      17. The BBC’s “royal charter” (Line 4, Paragraph 4) stands for .

      [A] the financial support from the royal family.

      [B] the privileges granted by the Queen.

      [C] a contract with the Queen.

      [D] a unique relationship with the royal family.

      18. The foremost reason why the BBC has to readjust itself is no other than .

      [A] the emergence of commercial TV channels.

      [B] the enforcement of Broadcasting Act by the government.

      [C] the urgent necessity to reduce costs and jobs.

      [D] the challenge of new satellite channels.
