B(10 marks)72.Parents all hope that their children will have glorious futures,and they spare no efforts to turn thatdream into reality.Many young people do meet their parents蒺 expectations,embarking on careers oncepursued by the father and winning even greater distinction.However,some others stray from the pathsset for them,or even do things contrary to the wishes of their parents.As some wise sayings put it,“Just as a hero蒺s son would likely be heroic,so an onion seller蒺s son would likely sell garlic;”“warriors蒺 children learn early the spear and the sword.”Yet there are other proverbs that reflect lesscertainty:“How well our children will turn out,even the wisest parents live in doubt.”Besides,homeeducation also involves the question of how best to help a child realize his or her potential.Childrenshould be encouraged to develop their own interests and talent,find their own paths and live their livesto the full.Human aspirations vary;one cannot force them to do things to one蒺s own liking.Part VI IQ Test(10 marks)73.charge.74.C.75.CLASS:MASTERCLASS/CLASSROOM76.Sixth.77.E.the lines within the large square are drawn top,bottom,middle left and middle bottom.Part VII Error

college.I wanted to earn extra money for myself because I come from afamily of seven and my parents couldn蒺t afford to give us much pocket money.M:Did you like your first boss?W:He was always polite,never shouted at us,even when we dropped things,and that was good for a younggirl like me who wasn蒺t very confident.He knew everything about the business.I had no propertraining,but it was good experience working for someone with so much knowledge.He didn蒺t pay uswell,but I didn蒺t expect to earn much in my first job.M:And what about the shop?Was it a nice place to work?W:As I say,it was an expensive shop,and the cakes were beautiful.Then in the morning there waswonderful smell of bread baking.The first week was difficult because I just wanted to eat the cakes,which wasn蒺t allowed,but then I lost interest in them.We had to keep everything clean,and that washard work.M:Did you do any of the baking yourself?W:There were two chefs who were specialists in making cakes for celebrations and creating new breadrecipes.I loved watching them at work,but I wasn蒺t allowed to touch the ones on display in thewindows.We sold sandwishes at lunchtime again,very luxurious ones,and the shop assistants had tomake those.I learnt to put in really generous fillings,much more than I used at home.M:How did you get on with the other shop assistants?W:One of them was my best friend,which was great,but the full-time staff sometimes treated us like sillyschoolgirls because we couldn蒺t cook.But I was surprised because the full-time assistants couldn蒺t addup in their head.I was good at it,but they used calculators if there was anything difficult to work out.M:Did you enjoy serving customers in the shop?W:The best part of the day was lunchtime when we were busy.Time just flew.Then it was interestingwhen people came in to plan a party or a wedding.One of the chefs would come through to discuss thedesign of the cake.Some customers thought the prices were too high,but usually ended up buying thecakes anyway.Conversation twoListen to the conversation,and complete the following sentences with one word according to what you hear.Write the answers on the answer sheet.5-M:Well,how did you trip go?Pairs,was it?W:It was an absolute disaster.In fact,it was so bad,it was really quite hilarious.I saw this ad in thecolour supplement which offeredweekend breaks with a difference to the glamour spots of Europe forless than it costs to stay at home蒺.Well,I suppose we should have been on our guard when we read thead.It really was too good to be true.M:What happened?Do tell me.W:Well,to start with,the ad said we would travel by air direct from London to Pairs with a well-knownairline and be met at the airport and then be taken by taxi to a luxury hotel with a view of Montmartre.Well,what it didn蒺t say was the flight was with an unknown charter company.We did leave fromLondon,but we flew via Brussels where we hang around there for two hours waiting for passengers onanother obscure charter flight from Bucharest.We finally landed in Pairs six hours after leavingLondon,only to discover that our personal taxi service had turned into a coach journey.M:What about the hotel?Did it live up to expectations?W:You must be joking!The ad promised luxury double bedrooms with adjoining bath and toilet in athree-star hotel overlooking a unique historic area of Pairs,within walking distance of some of thecity蒺s best hot spots.M:Sounds wonderful.W:Yeah,it was.The deception,I mean.It was a real fleapit.The sort you read about but never expect tosee.Luxury double bedroom with adjoining bath and toilet蒺 translates as a glorified cupboard at theend of a dark corridor with one toilet and bath for entire floor.The sheets hadn蒺t been changed andthere were cigarette ends in the ashtrays.Not to mention no soap or towels.M:What about the view?Was it overlooking a derelict railway line or something even more awful?W:Even that would have been more interesting than brick wall we could see from the window,if youclimbed on a chair,you could just see the top of the dome of Montmartre which I suppose justifiedtheview of Montmartre蒺.And as for the hot spots,well,I蒺ll leave you to imagine what theneighborhood was like!M:What did you do?Did you complain?W:What could we do?We had no choice.It was terribly late when we got there.No,we decided to put upwith the hotel and go out on the town.So we called a taxi and went to a restaurant in the LatinQuarter.And then we went on a nightclub until the early hours.When we got back to the hotel,wewere so tired that we didn蒺t notice our surroundings.We checked out at ten and moved into a decentplace for the following night.M:So you did have a good time in the end.But I suppose it cost a lot more.W:And absolute fortune.But we蒺ve put in a complaint and we蒺re trying to get our money back.Section CIn this section,you will hear five short news items.Each item will be read only once.After each
