passage2
It seems to me that neighbors are going out of style in America. The friend next door from whom you borrowed four eggs or a ladder has moved and the people in there now are strangers.
Some of the traditional stories of neighborlinessare impractical or silly, and it may be just as well that our relations with our neighbors are changing. The saying in the Bible "Love Thy Neighbor" was probably a poor translationof what must have originally been "Respect Thy Neighbor." Love can't be called up on order. Fewer than half the people in the United States live in the same house they lived in five years ago, so there's no reason to love the people who live next door to you just because they happened to wanderinto a real estate office that listed the place next door to yours. The only thing neighbors have in common, to begin with, is proximity, and unless something more develops, that isn't reason enough to be best friends. It sometimes happens naturally, but the chances are very small that your neighbors will be you choice as friends. Or that you will be theirs, either.
The best relationship with neighbors is one of friendly distance. You say hello, you small-talk if you see them in the yard, you discuss problems as they arise and you help each other in an emergency. The driveway or the fence between you is not really a cold shoulder, but a clear boundary. We all like clearly-defined boundaries for ourselves.

passage3
Articles in magazines and newspapers and special reports on radio and television reflect the concern of many Americans about the increasing dropout rate in our junior and senior high schools. Coupled with this fact is the warning that soon we will no longer have workforceto fill the many jobs that require properly-educated personnel. The highest student dropout rate is not a recent development. Ten years ago, many urban schools were reporting dropoutrates between 35 and 50 percent. Some administrators maintain that dropouts remain the single greatest problem in their schools. Consequently, much effort has been spent on identifying students with problems in order to give them more attention before they become failures. Since the dropout problem doesn't start in senior high school, special programs in junior high school focus on students who show promise but have a record of truancy, that is, staying away from school without permission. Under the guidanceof counselors, these students are placed in classes with teachers who have had success in working with similar young people. Strategies to motivate students in high school include rewarding academic excellenceby designating scholars of the month, or by issuing articles of clothing such as school letter jackets formally given only to athletes. No one working with these students claims to know how to keep all students in school. Counselors, teachers, and administrators are in the frontlinesof what seems at times to be a losing battle. Actually, this problem should be everyone's concern, since uneducated, unemployed citizens affect us all.
Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Question 33: Why are many Americans concerned with the increasing dropout rate in school?
Question 34: What do we learn about the student dropout problem in America?
Question 35: What is mentioned as one of the strategies used to motivate students?
I’m interested in the criminal justicesystem of our country. It seems to me that something has to be done if we are to survive as a country. I certainly don’t know what the answers to our problems are. Things certainly get complicatedin a hurry when you get into them. But I wonder if something couldn’t be done to deal with some of these problems. One thing I’m concerned about is our practice of putting offenders in jail who haven’t harmed anyone. Why not work out some system wherebythey can pay back the debts they owe society instead of incurring another debt by going to prison and of course coming out at the influence of hardened criminals? I’m also concerned about the short prison sentences people are serving for serious crimes. Of course one alternativeto this is to restore capital punishment, but I’m not sure I would be for that—I’m not sure it’s right to take an eye for an eye. The alternative to capital punishment is longer sentences. But they would certainly cost the taxpayers much money. I also think we must do something about the insanity plea. In my opinion, anyone who takes another person’s life intentionallyis insane. However, that does not mean that the person isn’t guilty of the crime or that he shouldn’t pay society the debt he owes. It’s sad of course that a person may have to spend the rest of his life or a large part of it in prison for acts that he committedwhile not in full control of his mind.
