Passage 1

Getting behind the wheel of a car can be an exciting new step in a teen's life. But along with that excitement comes a new responsibility---understanding the need for common sense and maturity to avoid accidents. In an effort to spread awareness to teens across the nation, the Allstate Foundation sponsored a Keep-The-Drive Summit at Sunset Station on January 23rd. Students from Kennedy and Alamo Heights High schools participated in the summit which was held here for the first time. The goal of the year-long effort is to educate teens on the rules of safe driving and the severe consequences that can result if those rules are not followed, and then have them communicate that information to their peers. The students watched videos that told them about the numbers of teenage driving injuries and deaths. They listen to the videos as students from other cities share their stories of how their reckless driving affected not only their lives but also those of their passengers. "We are trying to create awareness in high schools across the countries,"said Westerman, an Allstate representative, "we focus on changing how teens think behind the wheel." According to the presentation, more teens die in automobile crashes in the United States each year than from drugs, violence, smoking and suicide. An average of 16 teens die every day in motor vehicle crashes and nearly forty percent of those are caused by speeding. Texas is the state with the most teen driving deaths according to the presentation. Students agreed that the statistics were amazing and made them think twice about how they drive.

Passage 2 

Dr. Allen Hersh designs smells for businesses. He says that it doesn't take a whole lot of smell to affect you. Store owners can lure you to the candy aisle, even if you don't realize your are smelling candy. This idea scares a lot of people. Groups that protect the rights of shoppers are upset. They say the stores are using a kind of brainwashing which they call "smell-washing". "It's pretty dishonest," says Mark Silbergeld. He runs an organization that checks out products for consumers. The scientists hired to design the scents disagree. "There's soft background music. There's special lighting. There're all sorts of bells being used," says Dr. Hersh, "why not smells?" "One reason why not," says Silbergeld, "is that some people are allergic to certain scents pumped into products or stores." But there is a whole other side to this debate, "do the smells really work?" So far, there is little proof one way or the other. But Dr. Hersh has run some interesting experiments. In one of Hersh’s experiments, 31 volunteers were led into a shoe store that smells slightly like flowers. Later, another group shopped in the same store, but with no flower odor. Dr. Hersh found that 84% of the shoppers were more likely to buy the shoes in the flower-scented room, but Hersh found out something even stranger. "Whether the volunteers like the flower scent or not didn't matter," Hersh says, "Some reported that they hated the smell, but they still were more likely to buy the shoes in the scented room."

Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you've just heard.
29. Why are some people against the use of smells to attract customers?
30. What is Dr. Hersh’s attitude to the use of smells for business?
31. What did Hersh’s experiment show?

Passage 3

This is Ray McCarthy with the news. Reports are coming in of a major train crash in Japan. A passenger train carrying hundreds of workers home from the center of Tokyo is reported to have hit an oncoming goods train. Both were traveling at high speed. Figures are not yet available but it is believed that the death toll could be as high as 300, with hundreds more injured. Emergency and rescue services rushed to the scene. But our reporter says it will take days to clear the track and to establish the numbers of the dead and injured. There was a similar accident on the same stretch of track four years ago.

There was another bomb scare in a large London store last night during late night shopping. Following a telephone call to the police from an anonymous caller, hundreds of shoppers were shepherded out of the store while roads in the area were sealed off. Police dogs spent hours searching the store for a bag which the caller claimed contained 50 pounds of explosives. Nothing was found and the store was given the all-clear by opening time this morning. A police spokesman said that this was the third bomb scare within a week and that we should all be on our guard.
