year!(9-2)And we're supposed to be launching them atthe Intemational Office Equipment Exhibition.M:Mary,please,something much worse has just happened.W:Why,what's the matter?M:(10-1)I've got the

gone.W:How terrible,John.Is it your responsibility?Will they expect you to replace the money?M:Well,I haven't got $30,let alone $300...Oh,here's the security officer now.W:Oh,before you start,I'm

doesn't feel very polite in rush hour in the moming.W:I think one thing that makes people think we're polite is that we say "please"and "thank you"a lot.I don't think peoplesay“please'”and“thank you'”so much in other places..M:Really?W:(13)Yeah.My Spanish friend said that when she first came to visit Britain,when she went to a cafe,she'd say "Acoffee."not "A coffee,please."That's because in Spain,people don't say "please"so often.For me,it feels quite rude.quite impolite,if you don't say "please"when you ask for something in a shop.M:(l4)Yeah,but it can get silly sometimes.saving“please”and“thank you“all the time.Anyway,just saying“please”and "thank you"a lot doesn't mean you're polite.I think London feels quite impolite.W:Well,capital cities are often very different from the rest of the country.The other thing my friend thought was funnyabout English is our polite language,like,"Excuse me,I'm very sorry,but I wonder if I could ask you a question."-thatkind of thingM:(15)Yeah,we seem to use a lot of words to say things when we want to be polite.But that's polite language-does thatmean that we're really more polite than people in other countries?I have to say,I don't really think we are,actually.W:To be honest,I don't either.I don't really think the British are especially polite.It's probably the same everywhere-some people are very

CPassage OnePrimary or elementary education is the first years of formal,structured education that occurs during childhood.In mostWestern countries,it is compulsory for children to receive primary education.Primary education generally begins when children are four to seven years of age.(16)The division between primaryand secondary education is somewhat arbitrary,but it generally occurs at about twelve years of age.Some educationalsystems have separate middle schools for that period.Primary and secondary education together are sometimes,in particular,in Canada and the United States,referred to as"K-12"education.Typically,primary education is provided in schools.The child will stay,in steadily advancing classes,until theycomplete it and move on to secondary schools.Children are usually placed in classes with one teacher who will be primarilyresponsible for their education and welfare for that year.This teacher may be assisted to varying degrees by some teachersin certain subject areas,often music or physical education.(17)The continuity with a single teacher and the opportunity tobuild up a close relationship with the class is a notable feature of the primary education system.Over the past few decades,schools have been testing various arrangements which break from the one-teacher,one-class pattern.The major goals of primary education are establishing foundations in science,geography,history and other socialsciences.(18)The relative priority of various areas,and the methods used to teach them,are an area of considerable politicaldebate.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard16.What can we learn about the division between primary and secondary education?C)17.What is an important feature of the primary education system?D)18.What is
