Questions 21-27

Read the passage below about a college in the city of Bath, written in 1985, and answer the questions that follow.

- 8 -

The College

The college has the advantage of location in one of the most attractive cities in the country. Within the city of Bath it occupies modern buildings in a landscaped garden on Sion hill, Lansdown and an adjacent Georgian Crescent, Somerset Crescent, which includes teaching and residential accommodation for post-graduate studies. It also occupies three houses in Sydney Place, which are used for studio and workshop accommodation for part-time courses in the Visual Arts and for the Foundation Course in Art and Design.

The Newton Park site is situated four miles west of Bath between the villages of Newton St Loe and Corston. Within the grounds are a Georgian mansion, where the college‘s sentral administration is located, an Elizabethan dairy, stables and the tower of a medieval manor house; all these older buildings have been adapted to present-day use. A new purpose-built Home Economics block was opened in January 1985. During 1986 a new Sports Hall will be completed and new residential blocks are under construction to be completed ready for the start of the academic year in September 1986; a new music Block will be completed in 1987. The Art and Design degree courses which are currently accommodated at Corsham, about nine miles east of Bath, will be moved to the Sion Hill site in Bath by September 1986 thus reinforcing Faculty and Course links.

The college courses are designed to take advantage of the special opportunities and circumstances provided by its environment. Students have available such resources as the Costume and Fashion Research Centre, the Royal Photographic Centre and the Museum of American Domestic Life at Claverton. Concerts and recitals, including some given by staff and students, take place throughout the year in the Assembly Rooms. The college uses buildings in five different places. Where are the following things located?

SECTION 3 Questions 28-38

Read the passage below and answer questions 28-38 WINTER SPORTS Ice,

danger and exhilaration The 17th Winter Games, held in Norway in 1994, are part of an Olympic tradition which goes back almost 3,000 years. For more than Games were held, every four years, on hallowed ground near Mount Olympus, where the Greek gods were said to live.

The ‗Olympics‘ brought together men from war-torn tribes and states in Greece and its colonies. A sacred truce was declared to allow men to travel to the games in safety. Women could not take part and were forbidden, on pain of death, even to attend the Games.

The ancient Olympics were abolished by the Roman Emperor Theodosius in 393 AD, after Greece had lost its independence. But the idea never died and the Frenchman Baron Pierre de Coubertin, an educator and scholar, founded the modern Olympics,his aim was to bring together, once every four years, athletes from all countries on the friendly fields of amateur sport. No account was to be taken of national rivalries, nor politics, race, religion, wealth or social status.

The first modern Games were held in Athens in 16, and four years later, in Paris, women began to take part. Although the winter Olympics did not begin until 1924, figure skating was part of the 1908 London summer Olympics; both skating and ice hockey were included in the Antwerp Games in 1920. But generally winter sports were felt to be too specialized. Only cold weather countries had much experience of activities such as skiing-a means of transport overland across ice and snow during long winters.

The Scandinavians, for whom skiing is a part of everyday life, had objected to a winter fames. They feared it would threaten their own Nordic Games, which had been held every four years since 1901. But the international Olympic Committee (IOC) agreed to stage an International Sports Week in Chamonix, France, in 1924.It was a success and the Scandinavians won 28 of the 43 medals, including nine golds. They dropped their objections and the event was retrospectively named the First Olympic Winter Games. Apart from the Second World War period the Winter Olympics were held every four years, a few months before the summer Olympics. But in 1986 the IOC changed the schedule so that the summer and winter games would be held in different years. Thus, for the only time in history, the Lillehammer (Norway) Games took place just two years after the previous Winter Olympics which were held in Albertville, France.

Since the Winter Games began, 55 out of 56 gold medals in the men‘s nordic skiing events have been won by competitors from Scandinavia or the former Soviet Union. For teams from warm weather countries, cross-country skiing can pose problems. At the Calgary Games in 1988, one competitor in the 50-kilometre event was so slow that race officials feared he was lost and sent out a search party. Roberto Alvarez of Mexico had never skied more than 20 kilometres before and finished 61st and last 52 minutes behind the 60th place.

DON' T PAY FULL FARE

Are you taking advantage of the discounts available on airfares? if not , then you are unnecessarily paying too much .

Most airlines now have a number of options which can give the traveller up to 50 per cent discount on the full economy fare on both domestic and international flights.

Students benefit most from the discount systems , with two schemes available .students between the ages of 15 and 19 who are registered in full-time day courses at secondary institutions can receive 50 per cent discount , while full-time day courses at secondary institutions can receive 50 per cent discount, while full-time students attending a recognised university r college receive a 25 per cent discount , provided that they are under 26 years of age .In both cases , the air tickets are valid for one year and there is no minimum 'stay away' period. Although not required , students travelling on these tickets are advised to pay early in order to insure against subsequent price increases.

If you are not student, do not despair. You may qualify for the Common Interest Group system, if you are one at Least ten adults who are ‗travelling together for a common purpose on one flight between the same origin/destination‘. If you qualify, you will receive a 15 per cent discount on your ticket. Again, the tickets are valid for one year and there is no minimum ‗stay away‘ period. Full payment for the tickets must be made at least 48 hours prior to departure .

Finally, if you can accept the uncertainty, you might consider the so-called ‗standby‘ system. In this scheme. which, gives a 20 per cent discount, you purchase your ticket at the airport on the day of travel, assuming of course that there are empty seats on the flight of your choice. With standby tickets there is no minimum and no maximum ‗stay away‘ period.

These are just some of the schemes available to air travellers. Before parting with your hard-earned cash, do check with your local travel agent about your eligibility for the various discounts available. Just remember: ‗Don‘t pay the full fare!‘
