Passage 2
Listen to a talk.
If you were a college student there are several things you should know about renting an apartment. First, you must know how to look for a place to live. Friends, teachers and other people you meet may know of apartments that are available. You may also find a place to live by looking in a campus or see it in newspapers. In some towns, there are rental agencies that can help you find an apartment, but think carefully about using agencies. Usually they will charge you a fee. You should also walk around and look for buildings with “For Rent” signs.
When you go to look at apartments to rent, there are several things you ought to do. First, you should find out if the apartment is safe. Be sure there are good locks on all the windows and doors. It is also a good idea to check all the appliances as well as the water and electric ties to be sure everything is working. It might also be a good idea to talk to other people who rent apartments in the same building. This will help you to find out if there are any problems.
If you decide to rent an apartment, the landlord would probably want you to sign a lease. This is a legal contract and you ought to read it carefully. You will also need to pay a security deposit. If there is no damage the landlord has to return this money to you when you leave.
Questions 13 to 15 are based on the talk you have just heard.
13. How many ways of finding apartments are mentioned in this talk?
14. What does the speaker advise you to do to make sure the apartment is safe?
15. What should you do if you decide to rent an apartment?

Part II  Translation
       Actually the last fifty years was not the golden age of invention and innovation. From 1900 to 1950, human life was transformed by such invention as cars, aeroplanes, telephones, radios and television sets, not to mention nuclear weapons and the computer of course. In the recent 50 years since only a few inventions have been made, was the wellspring of invention drying up? Not likely. Indeed, a new age of invention is just beginning.
