Directions: Listen to the passage once and decide whether the following statements are True (T) or False (F).


Script: A survey of 5,000 adults asked them to identify as the things that make Britain unique as a nation. Several stereotypical British attributes made the list, including a stiff upper lip, an overriding interest in class and a love of tea. However, less common ideas were also identified, such as a love of all television, looking uncomfortable while dancing and not saying what people mean. Worryingly, getting drunk was also named as a fundamental part of being British.
Researchers found 58% of people like nothing more than chatting about the forecast. More than 50% also said they are the politest nation when it comes to queuing and 48% considered sarcasm as the highest form of wit. 44% of people said they enjoyed escaping from reality with soap operas. Sixth place went to their love of a bargain, whether it be shopping for discounted products in supermarkets, "buy one get one free" offers or money off coupons. At number seven was their love of curtain twitching with 41 percent of people admitting they could not help adopting the role of the nosy neighbour. Loving trash television, moaning and being obsessed with class all appear in the top ten things whi

Script: Charlie Parker forever changed the performance and writing of jazz music. He developed a new style of jazz called bebop. It was different from the dance, or swing, style that wa

If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn."
Charlie Parker was born August 29th, 1920, in the middle western state of Kansas. He had his first music lessons in the local public schools. His mother bought him a saxophone in 1932. Two years later, he decided to leave school and become a professional musician. For the next four years, he worked mainly in Kansas City, Missouri, where jazz music had become popular. Charlie developed as a musician by playing with different groups in public eating and drinking places called nightclubs. He also learned by listening to older local jazz musicians.

Script: Charlie Parker forever changed the performance and writing of jazz music. He developed a new style of jazz called bebop. It was different from the dance, or swing, style that was popular for years. Performers of bebop left the traditional musical melody and played a song freely, with the music and rhythm that was felt at the time. So, the same song could be played in a different way each time it was performed. Charlie Parker said: "Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn."

Charlie Parker was born August 29th, 1920, in the middle western state of Kansas. He had his first music lessons in the local public schools. His mother bought him a saxophone in 1932. Two years later, he decided to leave school and become a professional musician. For the next four years, he worked mainly in Kansas City, Missouri, where jazz music had become popular. Charlie developed as a musician by playing with different groups in publ

ic eating and drinking places called nightclubs. He also learned by listening to older local jazz musicians.

Section C

Directions: Listen to the passage once and decide whether the following statements are True (T) or False (F).


Script: Welcome to your first weekly exercise challenge and the start of a fitter, healthier lifestyle. The golden rule for any succe

ssful exercise program is gradual progression. If you try to do too much too soon, you may lose steam and risk injury. This program enables you to build up your activity level slowly, so the process of getting fitter is enjoyable, safe and, above all, sustainable.
Today we will talk about walking. Walkers enjoy many of the benefits that people who engage in far more vigorous activities experience. They also have a lower risk of injury, a higher level of adherence and far more opportunities to fit their activity into a busy day. And walking itself is the simplest, most natural form of human movement. You don't need any specific training or specialist equipment, except supportive shoes.
At this stage, it doesn't matter how fast or slowly you walk, or whether you have to stop to catch your breath. Simply set out for five minutes, turn around and walk back. It's up to you whether you walk on five consecutive days (for example, weekdays) or divide the walks up throughout the week. By the end of this week, you'll have covered somewhere between 5km and 10.5km (3.5 miles and 6.5 miles), depending on your pace, and will have burned as many as 650 calories.

Script: Overweight and obesity are known to dramatically increase the risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Excess body fat fuels the fire of systemic inflammation and the release of dangerous chemical messengers that damage the delicate inner lining of our arteries; this sets the stage for vascular dysfunction. As we pass age 35, there is a natural tendency to gain weight due to slowing metabolism, unchanged calorie intake and less physical activity.

Researchers have been encouraged that the obesity rate has stabilized at 34% over the past 5 years. The number of overweight and obese individuals has also remained steady for the same period. New research suggests that the upward trend will continue over the next 40 years to peak at 42% of men, women and children registering as clinically obese.

In the early 1900’s, 1 in 150 people were obese. By 1971 the obesity rate climbed to 14%. 40 years later that number has jumped to 34%. Something has changed during this period to create such an explosion in body fat accumulation. We are still the same genetically diverse people we were 100 years ago, yet our metabolism has been dramatically altered toward fat storage.

Section C

Directions: Listen to the passage once and decide whether the following statements are True (T) or False (F).


Script: This week's challenge is to find out how much fat is in the food you buy and how you can reduce your intake. The ideas below should get you started.
First, your aims. A good daily target is to keep fat intake below 100g for men and 75g for women. If you're trying to lose weight, your target should be 70g for men and 55g for women.
Second, problems with fat. There are nine calories in every gram of fat — more than twice as many as in the equivalent amount of protein or carbohydrate. That's why cutting down on high-fat foods is the first step to a healthier diet. A diet high in saturated fat — the type found in animal produce — is also one of the leading factors in heart disease, the number one cause of premature death in the UK. Saturated fat can block the arteries that carry blood away from the heart, leading to high blood pressure and heart attacks.
Third, how to eat low fat. If you're used to eating high-fat food on most days, it's time to swap these for lower fat and starchy alternatives. Try the following suggestions, aiming to do as many as possible this week, but making them all part of your routine in the long-term:

Use a low-fat spread instead of butter or margarine.
Eat fewer meat pies, cheesy dishes and sausages, and choose lean meat instead.
Don't add oil or butter to vegetables and potatoes.
Have a couple of meat-free days a week and experiment with vegetarian dishes.
