Then, when I was 22, I found a job in Nashville at a country music sub-club called "The Nashville Palace " I washed dishes and cooked from 4: 00p m. to 9: 00p m. and then went on stage and sand until 2: 00 in the morning. It wasn t long before i became known as a singing cook. I had been rejected so many times by record companies that it was hard not to be discouraged. One night, a woman executive from a company named Warner Brothers Records came to hear me sing. When the show was over, we sat down and talked and after she left, i said to myself it was one more rejection. A few weeks later, my manager received a phone call- Warner brothers wanted to sign me to a record deal. Soon fter, I released my first record in June, 1986. It sold over 2 million copies.

P Two You should not fear spiders because of their poison. Of all the spiders in North America, only one kind is really dangerous and most would not bite even if they were handled. They much prefer to run away or to drop to the ground on a thread of silk. Even so, when a spider runs directly toward a person, it gives the impression that it is about to attack. Actually, it canno see the person in its way. The spider is too short-sighted to see things at a distance It only wants to go where it wont be disturbed. In the United States one kind of spider is responsible for the frightening reputation of the rest. It is the Black Widow, so called because the female, which is larger than the male, often eats her husband after making love. The black Widow is found in all states but is most common in the south and the west. She constructs a loose, irregular web under pile of ruins or near the foundations of buildings where she is seldom disturbed. She is not an attacking spider and many people have proven this by letting her crawl over their hands. When she bites, it is usually in self-defense. In spite of the stories you may have heard, it is rare for a person to be bitten by a black Widow and even more unusual for the bite to prove fatal. But remember that her poison is powerful and even though she is shy, she should be respected. Questions 15 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard. 15. What is this passage mainly about? 16. What do we learn about the spiders from the passage?

20 17. Why is the spider you just heard about called the Black Widow? Passage Three Mr. Bascomb was upset. At time like this he wished he had never become a candidate for mayor. Everything had gone wrong that morning. Even before leaving the house, he had received a telephone call from his election campaign manager asking for money. This made him angry and he left the house in a bad mood. When Mr. Bascomb arrived at the office, he could feel his head swinging. He reached for medicine but the bottle was empty. He had forgotten to pick up some medicine at the drug store. Mr. Bascomb looked at his watch. He was to deliver a campaign speech before a group of business men at the club at 11 o’clock. He had given a rough draft of his speech to Barbara the day before and asked her to type it out for him. Just then, the telephone rang. It was Barbara. She explained that her car had broken down and she couldn’t be at work until 12 o’clock. Mr. Bascomb was desperate. He didn’t know what to do. He was very nervous when he arrived at the club. He couldn’t remember anything he had planned to say to his audience. He started talking about himself and his problems instead of talking about the problems of the city. Most of the people in the audience were bored. By the time Mr. Bascomb finished his speech, almost everyone had fallen into sleep or left the room.
