Questions 15 to 18 are based on the following lecture by a university professor.
In the last chapter, we've discussed certain animal behaviors. This chapter is devoted to the methods used in the study of animals. When scientists are studying animals in the wild, they often want to follow the animals movements.
One way that scientists have often tracked wild animals in the past has been with radio transmitters. A radio collar could be attached to an animal, and the animal could be tracked on a radio receiver. The major problem has been that radio signals were not very reliable. They could come and go as those animals traveled too far.
Now scientists are using a new way to track animals in the wild. This new way of tracking animals use satellites. Transmitters are attached to animals in the wild, and the transmitters send signals into the atmosphere every few hours. Weather satellites circling the Earth receive the signals from the animals, and scientists get the information from the satellites.
Question No. 15. What is the topic of the talk?

Questions 23 to 26 are based on the following talk.
All over the world, it is adolescence that eventually triumphs. Imaginative, energetic and untempered by tradition and convention, they more often than not outwit and surprise the adult world. I. et me tell you a story to illustrate my point. It took place about a hundred years ago in a small village. One day there was an earthquake. Nothing was destroyed and no one was injured, but a huge rock rolled down from the mountain and stopped in the middle of the main road in the village.
When the earthquake stopped, many of the village people came out into the road and saw the large rock. They decided to try to move the rock since it was blocking the road. The rock was more or less shaped like a sphere, about one meter in diameter.
Some of the strongest men in the village came to try to lift the rock out of the road. No matter how hard they tried though, they couldn t move it. They tried to push it, they tried to roll it, they tried to pull it with ropes, but nothing worked. They couldn t move it.
“Well,” they agreed. “It's impossible. The rock can't be moved. There's nothing we can do about it. We'll have to change the course of the road.”
All of this time a young boy about 12 years old was watching the men trying to move the “he rock. “Excuse me, sirs,” he said, “but I think I can help you move the rock”. “You?” they shouted. “What are you talking about. You can't move this rock. All of us have just tried, and even together we can t move it at all.” The men all laughed at the boy.
The next morning some people came into the street. One of them shouted. “The rock is gone. It's gone.” More people ran out into the street to see for themselves, it was true. The rock wasn t in the road anymore.
“This is impossible,” they said. “Where did it go?” The twelve-year-old boy stood in the street, smiling. “I told you I could move it,” he said, I did it last night.
The boy walked over to where the rock had been and uncovered some dirt with a shovel. “I buried it,” he said.
The people looked amazed.
“You see,” he said. “I dug a deep hole next to the rock and then I dug a small incline up towards the rock and the rock rolled down into the hole by itself. Then I covered it with dirt.”

Question No. 24. Where was the small village located?

Woman: Yes. You see, I'm going to get married next month and ...
Man: Get married? I didn't know that. Congratulations!
Woman: Thank you, but I'm afraid it means I have to give in my notice. I'd like to leave at the end of the month.
Man: Really? I'm very sorry to hear that. Do you intend to stop working altogether, then?
Woman: Oh, no! My fiance and I want to save up enough for a house and we wouldn t be able to do that if I stopped working right away. And it isn't that I don't like my job here, either. I'd stay if Peter, that s my fiance, weren t a Canadian.
Man: A Canadian? I'm sorry, I don't understand. What's that got to do with it?
Woman: Well, we're both going to live in Canada as soon as we get married.

Woman: Two hundred and twenty dollars a week.
Man: Is that all? That's very poor for a qualified engineer. You ought to tell him he'd get far more if he came and worked for us.
Woman: Well...er...you see...
Man: I mean, I'm sure that if I were a young engineer and if my salary were that low, I'd want to go to Canada, too. Where does he work, by the way?
