Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
Not everyone knows clearly how to build personal savings, but a savings plan started on a website has helped many put away a nice tidy sum. The fifty-two week money challenge is simple and if it is maintained, it will result in 1378 dollars in your savings account each year. It starts with saving an amount equaling 1 dollar in week 1, 2 dollars in week 2, 3 dollars in week 3, and continues right through the year until 52 dollars in week 52. While these are small in significant amounts, at the end of the year, you will have enough for an emergency fund, family celebration or holiday.
  Another simple way of building some savings is by depositing as little as two percent of your monthly income into a savings account. The key is that before bills and living expenses start to eat away your salary, you should put aside the savings portion of your pay.  Once you have reached a thousand dollars, you’ll find you probably have the motivation to continue to save even more.
Questions:
11. According to the fifty-two money challenges, how much should be put away in week 3?
12. What does the speaker suggest people do with their monthly income?
13. What is the speaker mainly talking about?

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. 
    Life in the town of Tivaton is made up of both good news and bad news. At a local school a successful charity supper has been held. They made more than one thousand dollars and the local family in need got the majority of it. Many people came to the event and the family was very grateful. Yet the bad news is students have been made to wait outside before school. It has been really cold lately and the school should consider letting the students in to get warm before the weather gets even colder. In the town of Tivaton, a new ice-cream store, the Muddy Moos, is opened. It’s a great place to get ice-cream, coffee and other food. As for the bad news, a new bank has been built. While it is good to have a bank nearby, it has also brought much more traffic. In the morning on the way to school, it’s horrible. There is really no space for any more new buildings in the town. Tivaton is more and more like a big city. On reviewing these local news events, it seems Tivaton has a balance of good news and bad news. At least there is enough good news, so it remains a good place for the residents to enjoy their life.  
Questions:
14. For the local family in need of help, what did they get?
15. According to the speaker, what should the school do?
16. What does the speaker think of the town of Tivaton?
